Review // Essence Glossy Stick Lip Colour “Luminous Rosewood!"
By Chaste & Beautiful - Sunday, August 21, 2016
Hiya
Everybody,
With
Essence, I have experienced all kinds of highs and lows but I must commend
Essence for their good quality mascaras and lip liners. This is a fairly new
product by Essence and I want to quickly come to the nitty-gritty of this
product, I am not going into details here.
Price, Purchase and Packaging
My
main attraction of this product was its affordable price and it only cost me
PKR 335. I bought it from daraz.pk. Well, the packaging really deceives you
that the pencil is twistable but unfortunately, it’s sharpen-able and I hate
that because almost half of the tip settles onto the metal area of the
sharpener. Overall, the packaging is nice but the twist factor would have made
it even more covetable.
Quality and Quantity
The
product comes in a 2.0g fat pencil and in terms of quality, the pigmentation of
the pencil is good and buildable but there is nothing very impressive about it.
Honestly, Essence lip liners are ten times better than this product and seem to
have more purpose as well.
My Thoughts
First
of all, I like the way this product easily glides onto my lips and the tip
ensures a neat line. I also like the way I can increase the pigmentation level
by swiping the product many times on my lips but it is a very obvious sheer lip
product and sheer is a no-no for me in this pathetic-ish summer weather.
I
purchased the shade “03 Luminous Rosewood” as it was the prettiest one in the
entire range and it was quite light in the beginning but looks good on my
complexion once intensified. However, there are total 5 shades in this range
and I do not like the shade selection, as it is more aimed towards fair
beauties.
Luckily,
the texture of this lip color doesn’t settle into my lip lines but the
longevity is poor, you have to be careful with eating and drinking, or else the
color will vanish within 1 hour. This product does not have any distinguishable
scent.
Overall,
I think it is a fine product and I quite like it. I would get more use out of
it in the wintertime because for light airy days, you would fancy putting this
pretty color on. Also, don’t be misled by my swatch, as I swiped the product
many a times to get that kind of “strong finish.”
SWATCH
Recommendation
This
product is particularly for youngsters because it’s quick to use, apply and
remove, plus budget-friendly as well.
Would I Repurchase?
Nope,
because I don’t like sharpening pencils, especially fat ones that dispense half
of the product onto the sharpeners.

DeleteThough it is aimed at more fair tones, I have to say it is such a divine colour! I get annoyed at sharpened products too but if it's good, then I'll probably keep using it <3

Yes, it's very pretty. Thanks for the read. :)
DeleteEssence makes blunders regularly, one on top of another! This one certainly looks crumbly, and no wonder you're disappointed. My sincere advice would be to stay away from Essence and invest in Maybelline and Bourjois.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Essence is a hit & miss company but I like this product especially the shade. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
Deletethank you for the review! I broke my mind how to open it until I red at youe review that it's actually a pencil! :)))
