REVIEW: Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss - Matt + GIVEAWAY WINNER

Hey cuties! :)

Today I have for you a review of two of Essence's xxxl matt lipglosses. I hope you'll enjoy! :)

What Essence says: "matt = a must! if you love this lip trend, the velvety-matt, long-lasting lipglosses are ideal for you! the light, mousse-like texture lasts on your lips for several hours without drying them out. particularly easy to apply thanks to the flat applicator."

I decided to get 06 Soft Nude and 05 Velvet rose. They look very similar in the tube, but the Velvet rose is more rosy colour. I like the packaging, however these lipglosses have quite a strong, sweet scent but you can't smell it once it is applied on your lips. I like it, but it is a matter of personal preference, it might bother some people.

The texture of these is incredibly smooth, it glides on effortlessly! Soft Nude is my favourite out of the two, just because the Velvet Rose is a little difficult when it comes to a smooth application without looking streaky. They're non-sticky and come in a good range of colours.

The lasting power is honestly not that great. Even though it states "longlasting" it stayed on my lips only for a couple of hours, 2-3 (without eating and drinking). 

PROS:

- smooth texture

- non-sticky

- affordable

- good range of colours

CONS:

- scent may bother some people

- can look streaky

- not very longlasting

To conclude, it is a decent lip gloss for the price, especially if you like the matt effect. If you don't bother reapplying it through the day, you may like it! :)
