Essence Brand Review- Lip Products

Essence Lip liner-£1

Essence hasn’t been stocked for that long within the UK. I purchased some of their lip products recently from Wilkinson’s. I bought two lip liners, two lipsticks and a lip gloss.

The lip liners I got were both pink colours just different shades. Both the lip liners are very soft and smooth which is good because some lip liners can be very scratchy on the lips. This smooth texture means that the lip liners are easily blendable. For £1 they are very pigmented. 

However I would say that some of the colours seem to look quite similar so it would be good if they were to bring out a few more colours. Meaning there would be a greater variety of colours to choose from which weren’t too similar. All the shades are either nude or a shade of pink with there being only one bright shade which is the red.

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick- £2.30

The two lipsticks I bought were also very affordable. The second lipstick was in a packaging which was the same shade as the lipstick whereas this one has a black packaging, which I personally prefer.  This lipstick is very creamy and easy to apply and has quite a good colour pay off.

Essence Lipstick-£2

This lipstick isn’t very pigmented at all and is more of a sheer lipstick but is very moisturising and good for everyday wear. Personally I don’t like the packaging that much, I think it would have looked better in black.

Essence XXXL nude lip gloss-£2

I bought the XXXL Nude Lip Gloss which was only £2. This lip gloss does have quite an artificial sweet scent but it doesn’t bother me that much however, it can irritate some. The lip gloss has the normal applicator which most lip glosses have but it is pointed which allows for easy application. This lip gloss has a very high shine finish.

I am yet to try some more of their products as so far I have only tried these lip products and I am generally impressed with them and would definitely recommend the lip liners as they are good quality as well as being a good price.
