Best Things in Beauty : the last Essence Stay With Me lipgloss.

finally i got the last shade of the new Stay With Me Longlasting Lipglosses by Essence in #06 Berry Me!, which i was still missing in my collection. they cost 1.95€ and contain 4ml of product.
here is my somewhat rave review for this new line of glosses. now i own all of them ;)

they all have nice packaging with a metal cap and a short acrylic tube. the applicator is special in it's hourglass shape and it's quite flexible and flimsy, too. but you'll get used to it.
the consistency of this gloss is very thick, but not sticky-thick. it's rather balm-y thick.
Berry Me! looks frightening dark in the tube, but applies as a rich raspberry colour without shimmers. the sheer consistency makes it easy to wear and not looking too heavy or special-occasion-like.
the scent is of a sweet and fruity artificial scent, it could bother sensitive noses but is ok for me.
i like the transparency, the balm-like shine and non sticky texture. i get 3-4h wearing time with these, including eating and drinking. that's long lasting for a gloss in my opinion. of course i don't totally wrap my lips around the food when eating, of course i exercise the "lipgloss mouth"-method, but who not? and so i can't really understand people saying that they don't get enough lasting power, or that these glosses don't last a meal for them.

this is how it looks on my rather pigmented lips:

compared with other darker glosses:

P2 Hightower and Essence I Like Cotton Candy are more blue toned than Berry Me!, sorry i forgot to swatch it next to Essence Trendsetter, but it is darker and less bright than Trendsetter.
