Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss – Rising Star Review

Skin tone: Fair

Hello everyone!
I have been chilling out a lot lately, since I’ve realized that these are the end of my college days. Summer’s just way too unbearable and I hardly feel like doing anything. I got this lip gloss way earlier and I had forgotten I had it. Let’s hear the review.

Price: INR 225

Product Description:
Timeless, trendy and beautiful! the wonderfully shiny lipglosses 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 lipglosses are simply irresistible!

My Experience with Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss – Rising Star:

I like the tube of the gloss. The tube is see-through with a silver cap that holds the applicator. The applicator wand is flat and at an angle to facilitate better application. The tube is cute and convenient to carry around.

Rising star is a weird color. It looks like a nice baby pink in the tube but it turns out to be almost transparent when swatched. And on lips it looks ghastly. It has silver and pink shimmers in it which is not a pretty sight. When I wear it, it makes me look like a chain smoker! It only works a bit better on top of lipsticks. The consistency is good enough; it is not thick. But it starts to feel heavy once you start to layer it.

I have just worn it once on lipsticks and it stays for around 2 hours max. It does not survive full meals as it transfers. It hardly survives sipping water and light snacks, not to mention the mess made by the shimmer. It fades really soon and leaves behind the ugly shimmers. It makes the lipstick look bad too. This is one weird lip gloss and it is the last thing I’d reach for.

• Cute packaging.
• Applicator wand is convenient to use.
