I bought a few of these on a whim a few months ago and as much as I tried to like them, I just couldn't. I am a huge fan of Essence products but these let me down. I tried the glosses as well as the mattes. The mattes were very creamy and pigmented which I liked, but the smell was horrendous. It smelt very chemically and unappealing. The colour also only lasted for like 5 minutes before fading.

The glosses were very sticky and moved all over the place. Glosses aren't known for being long-wearing but the shine wore off pretty quickly. They were very affordable though. I think this would be great for highschool kids or someone just starting their makeup journey. For me knowing exactly what I want in a lip product, I just wasn't impressed.
