As soon as I saw the Essence stand at my local farmers I headed straight over to the lipstick section. I grabbed a nude lippy in 63 Flattering Nude. Most lipstick colours were sold out as I purchased this as soon as the Essence range came out at Farmers.
The lipstick is in your average lipstick tube with a lid you pull off, then wind the lipstick up. The lippy smells heavenly like vanilla. I love the scent! The formula of this lipstick is so creamy and moisturizing. Its crazy how well it applies! It lasts quite a long time but it can transfer at first but after a while it actually stays on my lips. I intend on buying more of these as they are little gems for such a cheap affordable price.
After reading on BR that Essence products were fantastic quality for the price, I couldn't help myself to grab a few things in my local shop that stocks this. I felt like I had won the lottery when I saw this brightly coloured stand chocca full of Essence.
As I saw how highly rated the lipstick was from BR reviews, this was the first product to be picked. A shade I selected was 'oh so matte'. I don't normally go for nude-type colours but this was the last lipstick oh this colour left and I thought hmm, this must be good and an image of Kylie Jenner popped in my mind! But I thought, for six dollars or so, how can I go wrong?
The packaging is simplistic, but sleek. In a black tube with a circular ring around it with the chosen lipstick colour. Although inexpensive, I think the packaging is quite stylish.
My shade 'oh so matte' is a lovely pinky, brown nude. It's surprised me how wearable this colour is, ever since I've got this I've been reaching for it over my usual lippies,
Normally inexpensive lipsticks, like Jordana are way too drying for my lips, and for this reason are not wearable for me. However, this Essence lipstick is so hydrating - I love it!
What I love about this is how moisturising it is for my dry lips. For such s reasonable price it's a fantastic formula that just glides on your lips and makes them feel lovely and moisturised.
Would definitely recommend these and can't wait to add more colours to my collection!
