I am really enjoying getting to know some of the newer Essence Makeup products which launched over the last few months, more so because my local Wilko often resembles a jumble sale with no products for me to even swatch before making a purchase. The Crystal Power Collection, which I featured a few weeks ago, is one I have really enjoyed using.
Today I am sharing the Essence Perfect Shine Lipstick (£2.99), which is available in six shades - Perfect Moment, Perfect Day, Perfect Romance, Perfect Look, Perfect Plan and Perfect Match. I have shade 05 which is Perfect Plan and it can best be described as a warm Dusky Rose shade, the shade I would usually opt for when choosing a new lipstick.
Perfect Plan comes packaged inside a rose gold metallic tube, the lipstick itself has a flat, slightly slanted tip and this helps to ensure full coverage. The lipstick has a really creamy-soft texture and it has a super shiny finish. As you apply to the lips, it feels much more balm-like than it does a lipstick and it is packed full of ingredients which include both Vitamin E and Shea Butter which nourish and moisturise.
I wasn't expecting to get much wear time from this lipstick, but I was surprised to find I got a good 3-4 hours before I needed to re-apply, which for a £2.99 lipstick, I personally find impressive. Available from Wilkinsons, Essence Cosmetics and Walmart.
