Essence Longlasting Lipstick 13 Love me
sobota, januar 24, 2015.jpg)
I wanted this lipstick for quite a while because I fell in love with the shade when I swatched it the shop the first time, but avoided purchasing it because honestly, I don't like the formula of these. I know so many people love Essence Long lasting Lipsticks, but I find them so mediocre and I'm not a fan of the formula. I have (had, actually) three other shades and I almost never wear them simply because I have so many lipsticks of a far superior quality. So, this is one of those lipsticks of which I love the shade, but the formula is very average, especially compared to lipsticks from Essence's sister company Catrice.
The formula is very light, in fact, too light, meaning it emphasizes imperfections. I miss something more waxy or siliconey in this formula, so it would make it stick on the lips more or at least a denser formula that would be more moisturising rather than just sit on top of the lips. I find that Catrice lipsticks are far superior in terms of formula and the price is still reasonable. However, I really like the shade range of long lasting lipsticks. There is one shade called Natural Beauty that I really, really like, but again avoid buying it because I know I'll find the formula disappointing and I won't wear it.

Staying power is nothing to write home about. Most shades in the range usually disappear in a few hours, this one even faster due to lightness of the colour. But the shade… isn't it just stunning? It's a warm pink with peachy tones that is hard to find if you're as pale as me, since most similar shades either look too orange or too cool toned. If you're darker than NC/W 10, keep in mind that this shade will most likely look more nude on you. The pigmentation of this shade is nice and doesn't need to be built-up much. The lipstick smells strongly of crayons, which to me it's not that annoying, but it is to some people I know.

The shade is a beauty, but I wish Essence put more effort into the formula of these. They aren't bad at all, but you get what you pay for and there are a lot of really good lipstick for an even more affordable price. If you don't mind reapplying regularly and exfoliating the lips before use, it's worth checking out.

Long lasting lipsticks cost 2.49 €.
What's your relationship with Essence's lipsticks? Have a great day!

Barva je krasna, wau! <3 Res škoda, da imajo slabo formulo. :(
OdgovoriIzbrišiJaz mam odtenek Natural Beauty in ga kar veliko nosim, ampak žal - spet slaba formula. :/
Ja, barva je res zelo lepa :). Njihove šminke iz omejenih izdaj so ponavadi boljše kot je ta redna linija. Ni mi jasno zakaj :/ Sem prav pričakovala, da bodo te podobne tistim iz Home, Sweet Home TE, pa so me razočarali.
IzbrišiOdlican post! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiObozavam Essence! Ovaj ruz mi se mnogo svidja :)

Meni je pa všeč formula teh šmink, sploh za vsak dan :) Tale odtenek je pa res super, jaz ga sploh poleti rada nosim :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiVerjamem :) Jaz sem pač bolj navajena na zelo pigmentirane, mat formule in potem me take kar razočarajo.
IzbrišiZanimivo, jaz sem tudi na drugi strani, ko so mi všeč tile šminke :) In točno da res smrdijo po voščenkah! Že par dni me muči po čem smrdijo :P
OdgovoriIzbrišiRes je prekrasna barva! ;)
Mami sploh ni všeč vonj teh šmink, mene pa ne moti kaj dosti :)
IzbrišiSicer imam samo eno šminko iz te linije, pa še ta je iz omejene izdaje, ampak se strinjam s tabo. Nekako mi formula ni presežek in očitno zato nikoli nobene ne kupim. Čeprav so mi določeni odtenki zelo zanimivi. Ta odtenek ti res fantastično paše! Zelo lepa mešanica odtenkov:). <3
OdgovoriIzbrišiZelo povprečna formula, ampak saj ne bi smela pričakovati kaj več glede na ceno, potem pa se spomnim na fantastično MUA 13, ki stane samo 1 funt. Odtenki so pa zelo lepi, vsaj ti svetlejši in naravni :) Hvala <3
IzbrišiLepa pozivljajoca barva res, smola za formulo!

K.
Ko bi vsaj med Catrice šminkami bil tak odtenek :)
IzbrišiSe strinjam s Sanjo, meni so super za nosit za vsak dan. Imam pa tudi ta odtenek, med drugimi, in je res prekrasen :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiVama čisto verjamem in mislim, da sem ena izmed redkih kateri ji formula ni všeč :) Me je pa najbolj razočaral odtenek All You Need is Red.
IzbrišiUuu te pa še nimam :D Imam Natural Beauty, Coral Calling, Wear Berries (ki gre iz prodaje pa moja najljubša je :() in pa Adorable Matt, potem so pa še iz raznih TE, ki so ponavadi vedno malo boljše :) Ampak meni so všeč za čez dan, za na fax so mi fajn, zvečer pa popoldne mam pa še vedno raje lip linerje in pa Catrice UltimateStay :D No pa Revlon ColorStay šminka mi je tudi fajn, samo je še prejšna formula :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiSe strinjam glede boljše kvalitete šmink iz TEs :). Wear Berries sem že nekajkrat sprobala na roki, ker vem da je zelo priljubljen odtenek, ampak mene nekako ne prepriča.
IzbrišiJaz sem po Wear berries rekla da ne bom nobene več kupila, ampak potem sta me pa Love me in Natural beauty zaradi odtenka vseeno premamili :) Ampak glede na to koliko stanejo, so čisto OK, mi pa Wear berries verjetno zaradi temnejšega odtenka zdrži malce dlje na ustnicah kot ostali dve. Ti pa tale odtenek super paše <3
OdgovoriIzbrišiOdtenki so res lepi, ampak jaz zase vem, da bi jih nosila samo nekajkrat, potem jih podarila naprej :) Hvala <3
IzbrišiJaz imam sicer samo en odtenek (Wear Berries) in mi je odličen. Se mi obdrži na ustnicah kar precej dolgo pa še ne izsuši mi ustnic. Zdaj me pa 'matra' še kakšen odtenek sploh Love me
OdgovoriIzbrišiVidim, da vas ima veliko odtenek Wear Berries, mene pa sploh ne prepriča :)
IzbrišiSuper šminka :) zelo lep nežen roza odtenek :) ti zelo paše ;)
OdgovoriIzbrišiJaz pa obožujem to šminko :D Barva je res perfect, nanašanje pa meni ni problem, ker si itak ustnice vsake pol ure mažem :D
OdgovoriIzbrišiMeni pa ne diši preveč pogosto obnavljanje nanosa. Zato se raje držim bolj pigmentiranih, mat formul :)
IzbrišiLooking beautiful as always!
OdgovoriIzbrišiWhy Catrice is so cheap there? I feel a little of envy, because that brand is kinda expensive here in Chile, not like MAC or NARS, but much more than in your country...
Kisses!!
Thank you :) It must be the transport costs that's affecting Catrice's prices, but even so, you shouldn't be paying a lot more than us. Let's just hope that they'll drop in time :)
IzbrišiNi ravno "moja" barva, vendar ima Essence nekaj čudovitih odtenkov in eno sploh obožujem, vendar tudi mene zelo moti slaba formula, kar je pri močnejših odtenkih sploh mučno, ker jo moraš stalno obnavljati. Tako da se jim zdaj kar izogibam, raje kupim Catrice, ali Bourjois šminke.
OdgovoriIzbrišiPri meni so Essence šminke samo stale v predalu, pa sem jih nekaj podarila naprej. Pač ne maram šmink, ki niso obstojne. Vedno raje Catrice vzamem :)
