Essence is not an unknown brand and popular because of its economical price, availability and vast range of products. I'm going to share my thoughts about two of their lipsticks.
Essence Lipstick
Thanks to the exact color-coded packaging, reaching for your favorite shade is now even easier. Available in five new and a total of 10 colors.

My Verdict
To be honest, I really enjoyed checking and using Essence products cause of their super affordable yet good quality products. I've got two Essence lipsticks in shade 03 Sparkling Angel and 40 Look At Me. If I consider a price, I'd say I'm impressed with the packaging. It doesn't feel cheap and I love the idea of color coded packaging matches the shade of the lipstick.
03 Sparkling Angel is very pretty pink nude shade having a luster finish to it with a decent pigmentation and color payoff. The coverage is sheer, however built-able. 40 Look At Me is a warm flesh brown shade having micro-glitter scattered across it. The color translates as a sheer fleshy nude with a decent pigmentation and color payoff. These are quite moisturizing, but on the other hand completely lacking opacity in just single swipe. I need to swipe them three to four times to get the desired opacity and coverage. I love the fact, that they apply so smoothly on lips, non-drying and no tugging regardless having glitter in them doesn't feel gritty.The consistency is creamy but definitely not TOO creamy.
The wear time is quite decent. They lasts on me for about two, three hours without eating/drinking and having lip liner underneath you can stretch the wear time up-to three hours. But if you are having dry/flaky lips you need to exfoliate your lips prior its application or lip balm underneath as despite the moisturizing formula glitter and luster finish lipsticks tend to be on the drier side. They have a slightly sweet vanilla smell which I completely adore but if you are into scent free products this might bother you. There seems to be a good range of color available is such an affordable price tag so you can experiment with colors without any fear.

My Rating
3/5
Essence lipsticks priced 360PKR and can be purchases from Just4girls.pk or from any Essence counter nationwide. You can get them from Ulta or Target if you are living in USA or you can get them from your nearest drugstore or essence counter if you are in living in Europe.
So what do you think about it? Have you tried anything from Essence yet?
