initially i bought 2 shades of the new Stay With Me Longlasting Lipglosses, but they instantly convinced me so i went to get almost all other shades (there is only one missing, a dark plum i think, but probably i will go get this too).
EDIT: now i also got the other shade, click here if you want to see swatches.
each contains 4ml and costs 1.95€.
they come in short acrylic tubes with a metal cap and a special hourglass shaped applicator, that makes application on the curves of your lips easier.
these are sheer but still give you colour with a slightly milky effect. they have no shimmer at all. they are not too porn-star glossy but have a rather a lip-balm-shiny look.
every colour is very wearable and easy to apply and to wear. they are very smooth and moisturising and not sticky at all but still quite long wearing due to the thick balmy texture. they remind me of the Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss.
the scent is like the other glosses by Essence (i think, i don't own any other but only swatched some once or twice in the drugstore), artificially fruity/exotic smell. not plasticy, and maybe it could be too much for sensitive noses but for me it's ok. it fades after a few minutes.
i love them! bravo Essence!!!
the only problem i already experienced with these is that the wipe-off insert in the tube isn't fitting very tight, because after putting the applicator in and out some time you will pump air into the tube and the overpressure will push these inserts out. but if you screw the cap back again with more pressure, it will be alright. maybe they will have to change the design if this reoccurs too often.
to avoid overpressure in the tube, press the applicator a bit to the side when you put it back so you create a small slot where the air can escape.
now to the swatches...

#07 Kiss Kiss Kiss
a cherry red. i don't have comparisons for this one, but it's so wearable and nice that i might get into such shades... ;)
so as a take home message for you: please try these, you'll be pleased if you like non-shimmery glosses like me!
hm, ich fand die verpackung ganz süß, konnte mich aber nicht erweichen, da ich wirklich schon üble erfahrungen mit essence glossen hinter mir habe.
ReplyDeletehaben die glosse einen bestimmten geruch? wie würdest du ihn einschätzen?
oh ja, das hab ich ganz vergessen zu erwähnen und werde es auch noch rein-editieren: sie riechen so künstlich süßlich/exotisch wie die anderen glosse auch. aber nicht nach plastik oder so, finde ich persönlich nicht so schlimm, könnte für empfindliche nasen aber schon zu viel sein.
ReplyDeletecandy bar, trendsetter and kiss³ looks awesome :O
ReplyDeletei might gonna try this :D
My Favourite Milkshake und Candy Bar sehen toll aus... Vielen Dank für die Swatches, ich dachte nach den Promobildern schon, dass für mich da nix dabei wäre. Hach, im Gegenteil ^^
ReplyDeleteRelatable Style
die hellen finde ich super Ö_Ö hätte ohne dein review nie dran gedacht nen blick drauf zu werfen ö_Ö
ReplyDeleteschön, wa? war auch ziemlich (positiv) überrascht über das tolle preis/leistungs-verhältnis. und auch ganz ungewohnt: von essence! (deren permanentes sortiment ich sonst immer sehr niedrig eingestuft habe).
ReplyDeleteDanke für die Swatches! Ich denke, jetzt möchte ich mir die Glosse doch noch mal näher anschauen. Gefallen tuen sie mir nach deinen Swatches richtig gut!
ReplyDeleteThey all look gorgeous, I can't pick a favorite! great swatches x
ReplyDeleteOoh, awesome! I'll surely pick one or two shades up. .. and see if they're similar to the catrice lip appeal Ive been loving so much lately, or if the essence ones are even more balmy.
ReplyDeleteThey look great on the lips as well, I'm definitely not one for the porn-star-glossy effect either.
Thanks a lot for these awesome posts about these babies and all the beautiful new essence polishes!
Toller Post und super vorstellung! Bin jetzt ein bisschen angefixt und werd mir die sicher mal anschauen :-)
ReplyDeleteKann man deine Lippen irgendwo noch "nackt" sehen, um die Ergebnise vergleichen zu können? :)
ReplyDeleteDanke für diesen tollen Post. Die Glosse sehen (an dir) wirklich super aus! :D
Ich bin ja auch eher skeptisch, seit dem der letzte Gloss, den ich von Essence gekauft habe, übelst nach geschmolzener Barbie roch! Das war einfach unerträglich...aber gegen fruchtig habe ich nichts. :)
Der Name "Kiss Kiss Kiss" ist voll süß. <33
ich editier gleich ein nackedei-foto mit rein.
ReplyDeletedanke euch allen!
Das ging aber schnell. O.O
ReplyDeleteSuper lieb von dir! <33 Danke :)
gerne doch!
ReplyDeleteOOh I love this post, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome! i'm very certain on this product :)
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI would like to say,that someone used your photo :-(
http://allegro.pl/blyszczyk-essence-01-memy-icecream-limited-i1571202548.html
thank you for informing me! sadly google translator can't help me with the contact formula, can you help me on this please?: http://allegro.pl/contact/contact.php?topic=461
ReplyDeletewhat do i have to choose? and also, i have to register to this site to be able to do anything, did i understand it right?
i could be ok with someone who uses my photos for informative purposes on forums or maybe even other blogs... but someone who uses my pics to sell stuff??
I reported it to Allegro,but it is unfortunately very ''sick'' site.They really don't care about a stealing photos.So,you can't do anything.My only advice to you, is just add a text watermark over a photo.I now it's so sad and unfair. :-(((
ReplyDeletethank you so much! that's really sad. i don't know if i should mark my pics from now on...
ReplyDeletethey all look so gorgeous!!
