Essence Hydra Matte Lipstick Moisturizing Matte Lipstick

I really like this lipstick (shade 402), despite its strange texture. It's soft in the summer and, on the contrary, firm in the winter. Occasionally, 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 really liked it, it goes on smoothly and stays on the lips for a long time. However, like with any lipstick, you need to moisturize or exfoliate your lips after about 10 minutes.

Product Review:

I am extremely disappointed with shade 411, as it does not match what is displayed here. The texture on my lips is very unpleasant and dry, and within 30 minutes, it starts to gather in strange lines and smudge. Additionally, the scent is also very unpleasant. The packaging quality is cheap. Furthermore, I had to wait for three weeks for delivery from the EU, despite the advertised 5-7 day timeframe. When I called customer service to inquire about the status of my order, 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 an even and saturated color, you have to apply several layers. Immediately after application, it looks decent, but after about 10 minutes, it starts to melt on the lips, losing its matte finish. It starts to smudge and feels very uncomfortable on the lips. It's really disappointing because the shades are truly beautiful. I have the shade honey-sly and currently only use it as a blush, in which role it looks simply amazing. However, as a lipstick, I absolutely do not recommend it.

This product is excellent - it has a rich and intense color, applies easily, moisturizes, and lasts long. I will definitely try other shades because its quality is comparable to luxury brands. It has been a pleasant discovery!

I have shades 407 and 408 - the colors match the photos on the website. Very long-lasting! You can eat and drink, and the lipstick won't disappear and still looks very decent afterwards.

There is no moisturizing effect, 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 several reasons. Firstly, I had to wait a very long time for it to be delivered from the EU. Secondly, the colors do not match at all with what is shown on the website. Please do not mention the monitor or the fact that the image may differ 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 show 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 shade instead. I relied on the photos on your website where the lipsticks are shown on hands, but none of them matched. The lipsticks are dry and drying on the lips, the only accurate description is that they are matte. Choosing a color is like playing the lottery. I am disappointed once again. I probably won't order lipsticks anymore because it's impossible to guess the color correctly.
