Essence Long Lasting Lipliner In Shade 06 "A Girl's Dream" Review And Swatches

Hi everyone,

Do you think a lip liner is unnecessary? Think again! This makeup tool instantly transforms your lips, and amps up your lip game to a whole new level. In my opinion It is  a must-have for two specific reasons ;
*if you want more definition 
*if you like your favorite lipstick to stay on for a longer time without bleeding.

Essence is a Germany based makeup brand and  well known for budget friendly and quality products.

Today I am talking about essence long lasting lipliner in shade 06 "A girl's dream".

Let's start with packaging. It comes in a sleek retractable tube. The colour of the tube is same as that of the shade of the liner, which is very good because it is easy to pick the liner among many others placed in holder or bag. Over the colored body , brand name, shade and other details are written in silver font. The pen is easily retractable. I like these retractable pen liners because if extra bullet is twisted out then they can easily be twisted back. One more thing I like about it is that there is no need to sharpen them. The cap closes tightly with a click sound unlike liners that have loose cap and when they are put in hand bag or travel bag, they are ruined if the cap slips away from the pen. So I will give full marks to the packaging.

The bullet is round in shape. The texture is very soft and creamy. It is easily applied on the lips, no tugging or pulling at all. Formula is light weight.Due to it's creamy texture it feels soft and doesn't feel dry and tacky on lips. But I always use lip balm underneath because of my very dry lips. 

The shade 06 "A girl's dream" is a beautiful nude shade. I use it both as lip liner and lipstick. Sometimes I also apply it underneath brown or pink nude lipsticks to get more staying power and more vibrant shade.

It doesn't make lips dry but if your lips are dry like mine then I will suggest you to scrub your lips and apply lip balm prior to applying it. The pigmentation is very good. One application gives good colour payoff. Layering gives more vibrant colour. It gives a very nice matte finish.

Staying power is also good . It stays for around good 4-5 hours if you don't have any meals or drinks. It transfers if you eat any oily meal. But it doesn't fade away abruptly or at once. Rather it leaves behind a mild stain that looks natural. 
In a very reasonable price around (PKR 200 don't remember exact price) you get a very good lip liner that has a lot of pros and just one con in my opinion and that is it doesn't survive heavy meals.

I am really happy to get essence lip liner and will get more shades soon.

Have a good day.😃
