Review - Essence XXL long lasting Lip Gloss

Hey,

Today I wanted to review my Essence XXL Long lasting Lip gloss in the shade 06 Soft Nude.

I bought this lip gloss from Priceline after seeing a couple of blog reviews stating that it dries like a liquid lipstick. Obviously there is a liquid lipstick craze occuring - Like the Kylie Lip Kits and Jeffree Star Liquid Lips.. I have only had experience with Colourpop liquid lipsticks so trying out a cheap option from Essence seemed a good idea.

My experience with the lip gloss is that it doesn't necessarily dry like a liquid lipstick, but it doesn't exactly have the same feeling as a gloss. It is extremely comfortable on the lips and not drying at all. It has a very peachy pink tone once applied to my lips which is not always nice on the more olive skinned people in my family. The formula feels lightweight  when applied and as the packaging states that is is a 'velvet matt', it feels silky and smooth on. 

The product has a doe foot applicator which makes it easy to apply to the lips. I don't know if it is just my product but the doe foot applicator is very flimsy feeling, so I tend to gently apply the product instead of full steam ahead. 

Essence XXL Long Lasting Lip Gloss $4.70
