You may have seen this in my mini essence haul. Here's a review.
I got shade 02 Smooth Berry, which is a deep pink-red, raspberry colour.
The lip cream comes in a bottle with a doe foot applicator. The packaging is robust enough: it survived being accidentally dropped on the floor.
Application goes smoothly and you don't need much product to get a bright colour on your lips! The finish is velvety. Here are a few no product- product comparisons:
I think my camera chose different settings for these photos (see the difference in skin tone?), so here's the most fair comparison I found:
Since the colour is so bright and the cream so pigmented, you need to be carefully apply it! The colour is quite long-lasting and easily survives drinking a sip of water.
As for ingredients, it contains:
ISOSTEARYL ISOSTEARATE, TRIDECYL TRIMELLITATE, POLYBUTENE, CYLOPENTASILOXANE, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, TALC, CERA ALBA (BEESWAX), DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, GLYCERYL BEHENATE/EICOSADIOATE, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, DIMETHICONOL, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, BHT, SODIUM SACCHARIN, RICINUS COMMUNIS (CASTOR) SEED OIL, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), HEXYL CINNAMAL, May contain: CI 15850 (RED 6 LAKE/RED 7 LAKE), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77742 (MANGANESE VIOLET), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE).
I'm a bit concerned about the safety of Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate and BHT, but apart from that, I do recommend this product!
I got the lip cream for €2.59, and there's 4 ml in the tube.
Sincerely,
R.
