Essential Lipstick

By Elizabeth 8 years ago.

I actually was pleasantly surprised with these. I'd heard some reviewers say they were too creamy, oily and smudgy - I don't agree. They definitely are very creamy/hydrating, but perhaps because I have dry skin, the color didn't slip off my lips and onto my teeth. I actually felt like it set pretty well after about a minute - if you have oilier skin, you can blot any excess. The color is super hydrating - as most lipsticks tend to be drying on me, I appreciated this. I didn't have issues with the packaging or any breakage of the lipstick. Another big plus for a lipstick that's only a dollar (!) - it was very pigmented and even, and it didn't settle into lines. I like the color range for the price too. I would rather spend the $3 on a Studio Moisturizing lipstick, but for the price I really enjoyed the hydration of these colors.
