Today I want to review the first product from Essence's Vintage District LE, the Duo Lipstick & Gloss. You can see my Spotted post here *click*. Now onto the review, here you go:
Information:
- Essence Duo Lipstick & Gloss 02 Antique Pink
- part of the Vintage District LE, January 2013
- double-ended lip product with a lipstick and a lipgloss on either end
- the lipstick is just a color without shimmer whatsoever, in a strawberry shade
- the lipgloss has a tiny bit of a rather invisible shimmer, also in a strawberry shade
- the lipstick contains 4g
- the lipgloss contains 3ml
- it costs 2,95 Euros
Positives:
- price
- it's a great matching duo
- very pretty wearable but noticeable color
- both aren't too pigmented, great for daily use
- they glide on, very smoothly
- the lipstick has a creamy formula
- the lipgloss isn't sticky
- they provide a nice shine
- you can wear them each on its own or layered for more intensity

lipgloss |
Negatives:
- they're too glidy, a little slippery on the lips
- they don't last very long, especially not when eating or drinking
- they have a very strong soapy sweet scent that I think is too noticeable
- it's limited
both layered |
Has anyone of you tried it?

I don't think i'm gonna get this :)
ReplyDeletewell, money saved! :D
DeleteIn the end I got this lipstick too. It's gorgeous color and it looks beautiful on lips. I totally agree with your review. Although the lipstick doesn't have too strong smell to me, only lipgloss. But I'll probably wear only lipsticks, because it's great for every day wear.
ReplyDeleteI think this lisptick is better pigmented than lipsticks from their regular line. What do you think?
great that we agree :)
Deleteyes, the scent of the lipgloss is stronger than the lipstick one, I think you're right!
I unfortunately don't own any permanent line lipsticks, but I'm gonna trust you with this one :D
