| Essence Long-Lasting Lip Liners - Swatches (Left to Right) 02 Sweetheart, 06 A Girl's Dream, 04 Peach Beauty |
I have used Rimmel London lip liners but never got the chance to try Essence lip liners. I got these in buy two get one free offer. I have to admit that they are really cheap for the quality& the packaging they have. I am surprised at how Essence kinda managed to take the step forward and created a proper long-lasting product against the price. There are total nine shades in this range I own three which are 06 A Girl's Dream, 02 Sweetheart& 04 Peach Beauty.
The packaging is very sturdy and has the same color as ofthe lip liner shade which looks very appealing. They fall under the category of twist up & down type pencils so it's gonna be a great thing for the girls who don't fancy sharpening their lip pencils. The texture of the product is soft & creamy but not too soft to be prone to breakage. It applies smoothly & staying power is pretty much decent. One thing I noticed was when I swatched them on my hand, the color stayed there for quite long time & left stains on the skin while on the lips it didn't stay that long although the overall staying power is pretty impressive on lips. The product does not fade itself unless you eat something also it does not dry out the lips. Now lets talk about the shades,
06 A Girl's Dream
A Girl’s Dream is an interesting shade, it's a soft toned red which looks very flattering on me and can be worn when I don't want a pure red or pure maroon shade but something in between these two. This shade would compliment the asian skin or those having warm undertones.
02 Sweetheart
Sweetheart is a medium barbie pink & I really like this shade, I don't have much pink lipstick/lip liners but buying this color was a steal. It applies effortlessly and looks very classy on the lips, It will suit both warm & cool skin tones.
04 Peach Beauty
Peach beauty is a beautiful peachy shade and has some what cool undertones. I cannot wear it alone as it totally looks pale on me (although it looks fine in the picture), I would rather combine it with my peach lipstick to contour my lips but won't dare to wear it alone.It would suit the skin lighter than mine & those with cool skin tones.
Overall I really liked A Girl's Dream & Sweetheart and would repurchase once they run out.
