my new favourite: Essence Stay With Me Longlasting Lipgloss
initially i bought 2 shades of the new Stay With Me Longlasting Lipglosses, but they instantly convinced me so i went to get almost all other shades (there is only one missing, a dark plum i think, but probably i will go get this too).
EDIT: now i also got the other shade, click here if you want to see swatches.
each contains 4ml and costs 1.95€.
they come in short acrylic tubes with a metal cap and a special hourglass shaped applicator, that makes application on the curves of your lips easier.
these are sheer but still give you colour with a slightly milky effect. they have no shimmer at all. they are not too porn-star glossy but have a rather a lip-balm-shiny look.
every colour is very wearable and easy to apply and to wear. they are very smooth and moisturising and not sticky at all but still quite long wearing due to the thick balmy texture. they remind me of the Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss.
the scent is like the other glosses by Essence (i think, i don't own any other but only swatched some once or twice in the drugstore), artificially fruity/exotic smell. not plasticy, and maybe it could be too much for sensitive noses but for me it's ok. it fades after a few minutes.
i love them! bravo Essence!!!
the only problem i already experienced with these is that the wipe-off insert in the tube isn't fitting very tight, because after putting the applicator in and out some time you will pump air into the tube and the overpressure will push these inserts out. but if you screw the cap back again with more pressure, it will be alright. maybe they will have to change the design if this reoccurs too often.
to avoid overpressure in the tube, press the applicator a bit to the side when you put it back so you create a small slot where the air can escape.
now to the swatches...
