Lip Liner

Essence has never let me down. With the pricing of this brand you would expect the quality to be cheapy cheap stuff that isn't even worth the 3 bucks or whatever. I had bought the gel liner a few months ago and i loved that for the price and i said okay let me go back to essence for some lip liners. I love them! I ordered some NYX lip liners in the same order as the essence ones and i prefer the essence over the NYX. The colors are great. Good pigmentation, they're vibrant, very long lasting, drying (typical with most lip liners). For the price they are definitely worth every penny.

This is a lip liner, but I like to use lip liners all over for long-lasting color. Even though most lip liners are quite dry, this one was just like lipstick in pencil-form, which seemed great. However, I found that it lasted on my lips about as long as regular lipstick, too--it wore off after about five minutes. Literally FIVE MINUTES! Also, the color was lovely on the outside of the pencil, but on my lips it seemed to be browner, and since I'm blonde with blue eyes, it doesn't look good. Very disappointing.

Decided to try these out since most lip liners are pretty expensive for what they are. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth they are and how beautifully pigmented they are. I wore mine for a couple hours and it held up just fine, but I can't comment on whether they are super long lasting. I think they are AMAZING and do the job for the price you are paying. The color selection is beautiful is as well.

Essence lip liners do stay on! With that in mind, I forgot my lip liner at home and was out w friends for an evening of fun. I reapplied my essence lipstick during the evening and after drinks and I had a beautiful lip line that didn't fail me. The colors are brilliant and match up to the lipsticks. They also come in a array of colors that match the essence nude lipsticks. A win win.
