My take on Essence Glossy Lip Balm in Juicy Melon:

I went to a store and essence was one brand that attracted me the most due to all the colourful items that were arranged there. I just couldn’t stop myself from picking up stuff. I tried cherry kiss first and loved it so I picked up all the shades to try them out as I love such mini glosses. The packaging is extremely sweet and girly and juicy melon is a sheer gloss without any colour but the white stuff can be seen from the tube as well. The slant tip and a nozzle make it very convenient to use and it is so tiny that it may fit anywhere.

The texture of the gloss is a bit heavy and sticky but I think the stickiness is pretty mild. One drop will cover the lips totally. It provides a rich glossy shine which makes the lips appear fuller and the shine stays on till the gloss is on, so that is the best part. This particular shade called “Juicy melon” is more of an everyday gloss or a gloss that can be used with some other lip colour to enhance shine. I tried using it with other lip colours but it doesn’t look that attractive due to its heavy texture. This is the gloss that actually smelled similar to the flavour it said. It did smell like a sweet melon. The shade has a light baby pink tint to it which appears on the lips. It is a reflecting shine and baby pink tint can be seen when light appears on the gloss. It went into my mouth and tasted very sweet actually.

It lasted for like 2 hours since it is a sheer one and the main con is that it becomes white and settles in fine lines. The shimmers particles are sticky so they have to be washed after the gloss has vanished. Overall this is the one I did not like that much from the range because I have used better ones.

Pros of Essence Glossy Lip Balm in Juicy Melon:

-Super cute in looks and very tiny to carry
-Easy application with a nozzle and slant tip
-Comes in 6-7 shades and flavours
-It gives an equal amount of glossiness and a baby pink reflecting tint to the lips
-Makes the lips appear fuller

-The gloss stays for like 2 hours but only without meals or snacks
-Tastes very sweet too and has a sweet melon fragrance as well
-It is suitable for all kinds of looks because I think a glossy lip balm can always provide a finished look
-Keeps lips hydrated
-It is shade that can be used along with other lip colours for a more glossy and creamy look

Cons of Essence Glossy Lip Balm in Juicy Melon:

-Not easily available
-It is a sheer gloss and I am not a big fan of sheer ones
-Will not do a good job for pigmented lips and is a bit sticky
-May at times make the face look dull

Will I repurchase/ recommend?

Yes I surely recommend the tint ones from this range but not this one as it is a sheer one and not many people would like how it looks. This is the gloss I liked the least from the range so skip it! I will not get this again.
