These beauties are a total steal! They work well and are easy to apply. The maintenance is very low as you don't have to sharpen it often. They are drying though so I would stick to it's intended use as a lipliner and avoid using it as a lipstick.

Some great things about these lipliners:
1. Relatively affordable
2. Absolute value for money
3. Stain the lips very well
4. Can be worn as a lipstick if you don't mind frequent re-applicaiton
5. Great base under a lipstick so lipstick lasts longer
6. Application is smooth
7. Does not dry my lips

They need to have more shades, especially on the "nude" side since most nude girls in RSA are more brown than pale.

I always have one in my bag.

The only problem I had with this is that it's not very long lasting, due to it's creaminess cause easy transfer, otherwise it would have been one of best lip-liners I've tried. It has a very easy smooth application unto the lips, unlike other liners I've tried that tend to be dry. I love that it is highly pigmented, and comes in assorted colors, but if only they could create one that lasts longer.

I absolutely loveeeee these lip liners! They are soft and pigmented and you can either use them with a lipstick or gloss or by itself. You can even color your whole lip with it to give you the most amazing matte lips ever! Like i've used it on the pic. I created an ombre with the "berry" and a soft pink lipstick. It beats all the mattefying your lipstick with powder hands down and its super fast.

I always carry the "Soft berry" and "wish me a rose" pencil with me for on the go touch up. I'm not a huge lipstick fan but with my essence lip liner and a gloss there is no look I can not create even an ombre.

To make them last a bit longer i line on clean dry lips then ill apply lipstick and then line again, so when the top line goes and the lipstick fade the bottom line is still there.

Pros: Highly pigmented, comes in a variety of colours and very affordable.

Cons: Not very long lasting as its moist.

These lip liners are great and have most of the qualities I would like in a beauty product. The price is great, the quality is really good and they are easy to find. They are creamy, easy to blend and the colour payoff is true to the packaging.

One thing though, they are not as long-lasting as I would like. Which is a lot to ask of a R20 lip liner but that would have been fantastic. Also, I find the colour selection to be lacking some variety. They have the "basic" colours covered. But me being a true lipstick lover, has loads of different colours and would have liked a few more other than the basics.

This is still a great deal regardless!

Absolutely adore the Essence Lipliners! Super affordable, easy to apply on and it blends really well. A definite steal!

This product honestly had me doing a double take at the price tag. A lipliner ? For R20 ? Honestly I thought this was going to be an awfully chalky mess that would have no colour payoff at all but I was mistaken! I picked up the shade 'Satin mauve' that is the most versatile nude, pairing well with brown to pink shades. The texture was creamy, colour payoff was good and my lips were looking??? , insta-worthy even ?.

I recently purchased the Essence Cute pink and I am in love with this product especially since its price is so low.
The texture is creamy and slides easily onto my lips. My only problem is that it comes off easily, but I am definitely going to purchase their colors.

These lip liners are really affordable . They are just as good as any high end lip liner.
They are creamy and well pigmented .
They apply easily and last quite long.
I love to blend them in with any lipstick or lipcrayon as they give a well achieved perky pout.
I purchased the color "satin mauve " which is a beautiful nude that blends easily with nude and natural lip colors giving beautiful day and night lips.

First thing's first.... it's cheap!
I'm all about affordable beauty products and I like the fact that this lipliner comes at an affordable price, but still maintains a good quality. I usually wear Pretty Mauve and then pair it with a berry lipstain to create the prefect 'just kissed' pout.

I love the essence lip liner, the only reason I gave them 3 on quality and effectiveness, because when I used the pink shade it did not last as long as when I used the red lip liner. They are great to use to outline your lips before applying lipstick or to fill in your hole lip and use it as a lipstick as well. I would recommend to buy the darker shade of this lip liner.

I purchased the essence lipliner in cute pink, the price is extremely affordable as I purchased it for R20. I particularly liked the soft feel it had, and effortless application. However it does not last very long on the lip which acquires frequent reapplication, but all in all a good buy.

I purchased the berry lipliner and it is a really good buy! It's soft yet allows for precise lining and blends well with many shades of red lipsticks. The product is highly pigmented and lasted long when paired with a pricier lipstick. When used with a lip balm, it could even be used as a lipstick. So for less than R20 it is definitely a great addition to my make up collection.

I bought this in the shade soft berry,for only R20 bucks.So affordable.I like the fact that these are very pigmented.I love wearing mine alone,although i love the way the are pigmented i was so disappointed as this did not last more than an hour on my lips.I was expecting maybe four hours of wear.But overall i like how soft and lovely the color is on my lips

I only have the translucent one in this range, but is is lovely and at a great price, worth it. I will be buying more of these I am sure, as they do the job without breaking the bank. It does prevent bleeding and keeps the lipstick in place.

LOVE!

I own 5 of these lovely lip liners, and my favourite is Satin Mauve. It looks like my lips but better, which is what everyone wants,right? All 5 of the lip liners have become short little stubs, after so much use hehe..,

I rated it a 4 in effectiveness because with certain colours, they sometimes fade faster than others. BUT the pigment on these are amazing!

I would recommend that you use a lip scrub, so the lipliner don't attach on to dry lip skin (>_
