My Experience with Essence Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour 05 Ocean Girl:
This lip gloss comes in a tube packaging and looks similar to other lip glosses but is shorter. The applicator is also like other lip-glosses – nothing special. The cap is what attracted me. All the products have a beautiful rose gold cap and I just love it.
The tube is transparent and shows off the color from outside. The name of the color is on the rose gold cap. The texture gives this lip gloss its name. The texture is water-like and feels very light on the lips. It also feels cool. Since the texture is light, the product is very sheer, hence it looks patchy when you apply just one layer. The color is light pink and will wash out the Indian skin tones. This color is definitely not for me. It might look good on you only if you’re extremely fair.
This shade does not have glitter. I applied more than one layer to get a slightly deeper pink shade and also to prevent the product from looking patchy. The application of multiple layers results in well-pigmented color on the lips. I was not very comfortable wearing this as I had to apply layers of it and feared it might bleed and also kept checking often. But it did not bleed. Also, applying extra layers is also not easy, again due to the texture.
After applying every layer, I had to wait a few minutes for the gloss to settle down and then reapply. This was quite an effort to finally get the colour I wanted. The gloss also transfers easily. It can last 2 to 3 hours and not more. The fragrance is also quite noticeable. It smells very sweet and I do not like lip products with fragrance as I tend to lick them up. But this one has no taste to it. 😉 The product settles down and accentuates dry, cracked lips. Overall, the color is not for me and requires a lot of effort too, so I would not recommend it.
