Essence 8hr matt lipstick in 15 Vintage Rose

It feels like ages since we talked about a lip product and I adore lipsticks so I decided to finally give a liquid lipstick a chance.

What does Essence say about their product?
The 8h matte liquid lipstick 15 Vintage Rose in a warm muted rose shade gives the lips a matte finish without drying them out. The texture offers great coverage, high colour payoff and does not smudge – for an intense and long-lasting colour effect that lasts up to 8 hours. Thanks to the specially shaped applicator, the liquid lipstick can be applied easily and precisely – for a waterproof and kiss-proof result.
The lipstick comes in 15 different colours.

What do I think
I like the colour, I think it’s very pretty. I do feel it dries out my lips a bit so I don’t use it all the tine. It’s also very pigmented and I tend to use a little bit of it as I don’t enjoy a little colour lately. It dries quickly and stays well.

I don’t like very drying lip products and the pigment is a bit more than I usually wear but overall I do think it’s a great product.

I think if you are looking for a red for example as it stays on well. this is a good option, they have three different reds available. It’s a product you can simply put on and not worry about the rest of the night which is great.
