Berry Cream

 Hello,

for me it is time for lip glosses and lip balms in tubes. Recently I only have eyes for those, especially pink ones.

I purchased Lumene lip glow oil balm in Berry Cream. My first thought when I tried it is that it does not feel like oil, more like lip balm/gloss.

Berry Cream is pink but on the brighter side, it does sheer out on the lips and it can be easily applied without a mirror. There is no scent but it does taste fruity, I guess like berries? I like it a lot :)


This shade of pink is lovely, I like the taste and it does nourish my lips, I only wish it would last a bit longer on my lips so I wouldn't need to reapply every 30-45 min. 

I think I picked up the right shade for me but there is also lighter pink called Sugar with shimmer that I am interested in.


Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Cherry, Cherry Baby!

 Hello,

this is a lovely hybrid between lip gloss and lip balm. I think they took the best from both when making it.

From the Essence So Cherry Happy collection I got this peptide lip gloss in 02 Cherry, Cherry Baby!, it is a recent buy and since this collection came out in late Spring I don't know if it didn't sell well or they just made so many of them. I would say the second because this is really nice.

Cherry, Cherry Baby! is pale baby pink gloss with liquid consistency, here I was seconds away from dropping it (I didn't, I was able to salvage it).

It is on the sheer side, especially on the lips where I didn't get to use this much at once. I actually prefer the sheer glosses over overly pigmented ones. There is also a very strong bubblegum scent and taste and I love it.

Gloss is visible, it makes my lips really juicy and full, just how I like it.

I love the sheer pink shade, for me it has a great scent/taste. I find it hydrating on my lips, it stays put for over one hour and I am even thinking of getting a second tube but this holds 10 ml of product and it will take me a long time to finish this first tube.

I was really positively surprised and I eneded up loving it. It is one of my favorites in my collection. I hope Essence comes out with more of these in the future.

Too Cool and Hakimi

 Hello,

these two products reminded me so much of Gege Bear solid lip glosses so I had to get them. These are a bit more expensive but after some more research I thought that I will like them enough to get two of.


They are Flortte special edition heart shaped lipstick in Too Cool (bunny) and Hakimi (kitty).


They feature fun animal stickers which looks like I made them myself since they look a bit homemade but I still like them :) I would also mention the packaging or the texture. They aren't smooth but they are like water, curvy and wavy with sparkles inside the plastic.


Here I accidentally turned them upside down to reveal buts instead hearts ;) They both have sparkles but Too Cool (pink) is more packed.


Hakimi is nude with barely there sparkles and Too Cool is deeper pink with sparkles but both are still pretty sheer so they can be applied without a mirror (I have to be a bit more careful with the Too Cool one but it is okay).


They are the glossies sticks that I have tried and I tried plenty. So far these are my favorites. They have no scent or taste, colors are sheer but I can still tell them apart if I apply them on the lips (on the lips they look different, Hakimi looks almost clear and Too Cool gives a deeper pink hue). They stay glossy for a good hour which is also the longest.

I am thinking of getting backups, I would get different shades but none are available at the time, but I can see that there are 6 shades in total.

Mood Changer

 Hello,

this product has a square bottle and my first thought was that it is a nail polish but I was wrong, it is a lip gloss.


 It is Heart Percent dote on mood top coating lip plumper in Mood Changer.


The wand is short (because of the short bottle) and the applicator is silicone. Very unusual and bendable. This product is meant to be applied on top of some other shades and it is nice that it can be wiped clean so it does not interfere with the rest of the product.


In the bottle it looks pretty dark but on the skin it sheers out into a sheer plum shade. On bare, pale lips it can look like I have been out in the cold but when my lips are red it tones them down. I really like the effect. It was meant to be applied over other lippies to tone them down and it work nicely without looking too artificial.


It has a slight minty scent but without any tingle, it is super glossy and juicy (texture is very liquid) and the shade is sheer but it works as a stand alone product or as a topper. I really love this cutie.
There is also a Cool Changer with a berry tint and two glitter top coats which also look interesting...
