Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipgloss #05 Simply Be An Icon Review

Skin tone: Fair to medium.

Hello, Everyone!

Today’s review is about Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipgloss – 05 Simply Be An Icon. Recently, I purchased Matt Matt Matt Lip gloss from Essence. They happen to by my first Matt lip gloss. I would rather call it Matt liquid lipstick instead of Matt Lip Gloss as there is no gloss! There is a total of 5 shades in this Matt Lipgloss range. I will be reviewing “Simply Be An Icon” shade today.

My Experience with Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipgloss #05 Simply Be An Icon:

Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipgloss #05 Simply Be An Icon Review

The packaging is similar to a standard lipgloss but a little bit thicker. It feels a little bulky in a small clutch. The bottom tube is transparent relieving the color of the lipgloss. The top lid is black in color and is sturdy to hold the wand and apply the product. The wand is also stable and the wand tip is smooth for application.

The consistency of the lipgloss is a creamy mousse texture. The product is rich but, it is easy to apply. One sweep across the lips and you are ready to go. It leaves velvety lips when applied on the lips. Initially or during the first hour, it feels nourishing on the lips. But then, my lips felt a little dry. I had to apply a lip gloss or a lip balm just to make the lips look alive.

This is the darkest shade in the range. The color is deep red and suits all skin tones. The color payoff is extremely good. I was not expecting such a huge payoff. The color is also deep and leaves a nice stain on the lips. I did not have to pick more product or apply more than one layer. One swipe was good enough to cover my pigmented lips. The dry/cracked lips cannot be seen during the first hour of application. But later, it slowly starts showing up.

Okay now, let’s talk about the cons of this product. The lipgloss has a sweet vanilla smell. I do not understand why would one want a lipgloss smelling like vanilla. This leads me to lick my lips. To top it all, the product tastes sweet. I know am not supposed to eat it but, you cannot help when something smells like vanilla. I do not prefer the fragrance and taste in any lip product.

The product gets easily transferred while drinking and eating. Of course, a stain is left which looks not so appealing. So, a reapplication is required. Without eating and drinking, the lipgloss lasts for 4 hours at least. Overall, it’s a nice product but, I do not like the fragrance and taste of it.

Pros of Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipgloss #05 Simply Be An Icon:

  • Suits all skin tones.
  • Love the matt effect.
