Happy Tuesday Beauties!
It’s no secret that I absolutely love inexpensive makeup, especially lipstick colors and eyeliners. I consider both of these products essentials for my everyday look, so I’m always on the look out for inexpensive products. I’ve heard a lot of raving reviews on the Essence line of products, so I of course had to put them to the test myself.
I purchased…
– Longlasting Lipstick in Very Berries
– Gel Eye Pencil in Black Blaze
– Gel Eye Pencil in Cocoa Bean
Let’s first start off with the lipstick.
First, can we just say how PERFECT this color is?!? It says it’s a berry shade, but I think it’s the perfect mixture between your standard Berry Shade and a Pink. It’s absolutely perfect for a “your lips, but better” color. The formula for this lipstick is amazing too! It’s super moisturizing and glides on your lips perfectly. It wears off well too, so you don’t have to worry about it being patchy. The shine of this lipstick usually wears off quite easily with eating or drinking but overall the color remains for a long time. The best part is that this lipstick in only $2.99!!! It’s just as inexpensive as my beloved Wet N’ Wild, so I’m very happy!
Now let’s talk about the gel eyeliner pencils…
I don’t like bashing products, but these eyeliners just didn’t work for me. First of all, the application of the product just didn’t work. The way this product works is you twist up the eyeliner in order to put in on. This usually works for me with most twist up eyeliners, but this one is too wide around the tip. I kept accidently running that hard plastic part across my eyelid. It also claimed to be waterproof, which was not true. I always ended up looking like a Panda by the end of the day. It didn’t matter if I was outside the whole time or if I just stayed inside. The pigmentation was great, but product application and staying power just killed it for me.
What products have you tried from Essence?? What do you think I should try next?!? Let me know down below!
