Reviews about Essence Hydra Matte Lipstick
I really like this lipstick (shade 402), despite the fact that it has a strange texture. Specifically, it is soft in summer and firm in winter. Additionally, sometimes there are small lumps inside that can be felt when applying it. However, personally, this is not a problem for me because it is one of my favorite lipsticks.
I liked it as it goes on smoothly and lasts for a long time on the lips. However, like with any other lipstick, you need to moisturize or exfoliate your lips after about 10 minutes.
Product review: Number 411 is completely different from what is shown here. ((( It feels very unpleasant and dry on the lips, after 30 minutes it gathers into stripes and smudges, the smell is also unpleasant. The packaging quality is cheap. I also waited three weeks for delivery from the EU, even though it says here 5-7 days. When I called customer service to inquire about the delivery date, they were rude to me.
The lipstick has a very strange texture, almost like cold clay, which makes it difficult and uneven to apply. To achieve a uniform and saturated color, several layers have to be applied. It looks decent immediately after application, but after about 10 minutes, it starts to melt on the lips, losing its matte finish. It starts to smear and feels very unpleasant on the lips. It's really disappointing because the shades are truly beautiful. I have the shade honey-sly and I currently use it exclusively as a blush, where it looks absolutely wonderful. However, I absolutely do not recommend it as a lipstick.
401 is a really nice shade that is rich and easy to apply. It moisturizes well and lasts a long time. I will definitely try other shades because the quality of this product is comparable to luxury brands. It was a pleasant discovery!
I have shades 407 and 408 - the colors match the photo on the website. It is very long-lasting! You can eat and drink, and the lipstick won't disappear and looks very decent afterwards.
There is no moisture, of course, but it doesn't dry out the lips either. It applies easily and colors evenly. It feels comfortable on the lips. You can even do without a lip liner.
For its price, it is a very good product.
I regret ordering this product for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I had to wait a very long time for it to arrive as it was shipped from the EU. Secondly, the colors do not match at all with what was shown on the website. Please don't mention the monitor or the fact that the image may vary because the lipstick looks different on my computer, phone, and even on my neighbor's computer. I checked the color on three different devices, and none of them showed the same color. Instead, I received completely different shades. I ordered shade 411, but I received a very light beige with a hint of pink, which looks terrible on my lips. I also bought shade 410, but I received a brown one instead. I relied on the photos where the lipsticks were swatched on hands on your website, and none of the colors matched. The lipsticks are dry and drying on the lips, the only thing that is true is that they are matte. Choosing a color is like playing the lottery. I am once again disappointed. I probably won't be ordering lipsticks anymore because it's impossible to guess the correct color.
