Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss in Fabulous Fuchsia Review
Hey girlies,
I am back with a lip gloss review. I did a small Essence haul a couple of days ago, this lip gloss seemed to be a good one to wear every day, so I picked this up. Let’s find out how it fared for me.
Price:
229 INR
Product Description:
Timeless, trendy and beautiful! the wonderfully shiny lip glosses are available in bright as well as subtle shades. they give your lips a beautifully pampered look, amazing shine and fresh color. glossy and light on your lips – these lip glosses are simply irresistible!
My Experience with Essence XXXL Shine Lip Gloss in Fabulous Fuchsia:
Packaging:
This lip gloss comes in a transparent tube made out of thick plastic which looks like glass. The name of the company and a small description is printed on the body in silver. It has a silver cap which fits perfectly ensuring no spilling of the gloss. The wand has a doe-foot applicator and it picks up very little gloss, but enough to coat the lips lightly and evenly once.
Color:
When you look at the lip gloss, you see light pink gloss with fine sparkles in it, but when you swatch, it isn’t as pigmented. It’s almost transparent with a little hint of pink in it. This gloss is very, very sheer. The sparkles do not show on the lips that much. The colour isn’t buildable. All you get is a little hint of pink on your lips. I wish it were a little more pigmented and not as sheer as it is.
Texture:
The texture is so smooth, it’s like you are applying some velvety liquid on your lips. My lips feel buttery smooth after I apply this. It’s moisturizing as well. After the gloss fades out, my lips do not feel parched. They feel quite like I applied lip balm. I’m in love with the texture of this gloss.
Staying Power:
Now, this is a disappointment. It stays a maximum of 3 hours without eating. It fades away after that. I wore this gloss at 8.30 in the morning and by 11 am, the gloss faded. I did not even talk much, wish it stayed longer.
Smell/Taste:
It has a very mild sweet smell to it, which fades quickly. The gloss has no taste to it.
