Get Sparkling and Dazzling Lips with Essence Glossy Lip Balm Strawberry Cheesecake

essence Glossy Lip Balm Strawberry Cheesecake Review

Hello gorgeous ladies,

How are you all doing? It is almost the end of the year and I am sure everyone must be deciding how to celebrate Christmas and the new year or planning out a fresh set of goals for the next year. Often I see myself buying a lot of goodies just because the packaging attracts me a lot and I cannot resist! Such are some cute looking lip balms from essence. I have almost all of these and got 2 more which are the imported ones but luckily available on our online stores now. The name “Strawberry Cheesecake” attracted me equally like the packaging. Let’s actually see how the lip gloss perfomed.

My take on essence Glossy Lip Balm Strawberry Cheesecake:

I tried cherry kiss lip gloss variant from them first and loved it so I picked up all the shades to try them out as I love such mini glosses. I got 2 new shades to try out as i had a good experience with the earlier ones. The packaging is extremely sweet and girly and the cute baby pink shade could be seen through the tube and plus it has a cute picture of strawberries and cheese over it. It is very cute and I felt like I have gone to my older days when we used to have those small plastic make-up boxes. It has a sparkly cap which makes it look even cuter. The slant tip and a nozzle make it very convenient to use and it is so tiny that it may fit anywhere.

The fragrance is like a strawberry cheesecake and is too sweet. It also tastes very sweet because a little went in my mouth due to the slippery texture. The texture of the gloss is very thin hence I think the stickiness is pretty mild. One drop will cover the lips totally. It provides a super 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.

Essence glossy-lip balmThis gloss has a very light baby pink tint which does not show up a lot of the lips. The colour pay-off did not satisfy me. The claim was to give equal amount of glossiness with color; but all I could see is glossy lips which were sheer with small shimmer. The gloss can be considered as an every-day lip gloss since it makes you look fresh and happy. The shimmers particles are lightly visible if observed closely. It lasted on me for like 2 hours considering that you don’t have snacks or sip on water continuously. With snacks it vanishes as soon as you eat and the shimmers particles are sticky so they have to be washed after the gloss has vanished. I think these would be great for college goers.

Overall it is a good one but the range has better ones to go for, I personally loved pink dragon-fruit and cherry kiss out of all the 7 I have. So go ahead and try these cute baby glosses!

Pros of essence Glossy Lip Balm Strawberry Cheesecake:

  • Super cute in looks and very tiny to carry
  • Easy application with a nozzle and slant tip
  • Comes in 7-8 shades and flavours
  • Gives a lovely glossy finish which lasts till the gloss is on
  • Makes the lips appear fuller
  • The gloss stays for like 2 hours but only without meals or snacks
  • Tastes and smells exactly like a strawberry cheesecake
  • 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 a very soft shade and great for everyday use

Cons of essence Glossy Lip Balm Strawberry Cheesecake:

  • People who have used extremely pigmented glosses may find this one too sheer
  • Will not do a good job for pigmented lips as it is transparent
  • This range has better options to go for
  • There was no equal color along with glossiness; the tint is a light baby pink one which isn’t very visible

Would I repurchase/recommend essence Glossy Lip Balm Strawberry Cheesecake?

Yes I surely recommend these but not this one. This one is a pretty one but it is more on the sheer side and I am totally bored of such sheer ones now. We always want a pop of colour, so I think this should be skipped!

IMBB Rating:

3.8/5

Conclusion: They are suitable for every occasion be it every-day wear or a date or a party because it just finishes up every look. It gives a very dazzling shine which all the girls love and you have a lot many flavours and shades to choose from. As of now I have all 7 so no more getting these again. But summing up all the 7 shades, I would say that if you want to pick these, go for pink dragon-fruit or cherry kiss, they are the best from this range.
