Essence Lip Liner Review (01 Ready for Red, 05 Lovely Frappucino)

Hello earthlings!

I grabbed these during my Malacca trip. Essence products are affordable but for some reason it was rarely restocked :/ I've been wanting to purchase these ever since Tati and Kathleen Lights rave about its performance. 

I bought these two particular shades because its pretty much the only color of my lipsticks LOL. I've never use any lip liner before and this provide a good alternative for me. Its cheap and it works wonderfully!

The product comes in a twistable pencil form and there's no need to sharpen them. It can be a good and bad thing. Good because it saves time, bad because once the bullet go blunt, its difficult to draw a precise line on the lips.

Lovely Frappucino ; Brown with a hint of mauve. This reminds me of the Kylie Jenner lip trend

Ready for Red ; Classic red shade

The formula is creamy in a sense that it glide smoothly on the skin. I barely apply any pressure to ensure the color transfer on my lips. I've used it to apply all over my lips and I have to admit the Ready for Red is a bit tacky compared to Lovely Frappucino. Its so comfortable on the lips and I wear it on its own without any gloss over top.

Ready for Red with Sephora Cream Lipstan 01

Honestly, I am hooked. Its affordable yet it does the job. It fade out beautifully as it doesn't crumble up or patchiness after drinks or meal. The color is opaque and it does not suck the moisture out of my lips. Its a great alternative if you're unwilling to spend cash on high end lip liner. Plus the twistable feature makes it a user friendly product. Do grab 'em if if its available in your local drugstore!

Take care! XOXO
