Essence Winter Glow cushion powder lipstick

Hi Beauties! 

Here is the first review on today's loot at their warehouse sale!

It is their old limited edition WINTER GLOW cushion powder lipstick. I have a vague memory of swatching it at Guardian long time ago and not buying despite very drawn to the colours. I just think that its powdery and may go into my throat haha.

Today, seeing that the sale is 3 for $1, i knew it was a great chance for me to get it finally. See some pictures below before I describe further about this product!

I bought 4 of them, 2 of each colour : 01 Melt my lips ; 02 Winter kissed

The cute Essence duck was a free gift from today's sale!

01 Melt my lips

 The picture above shows how the product inside looks like, it looks to me like a compressed lipstick. The sponge side has a spring to bounce the sponge up and down inside the cap to tap more product.

 My thoughts of the product: I think the product feels like nothing on my lips. Since my lips are soooo dry, it cannot really stick on my lips. I took about 10 swipes to get it on my lips. In other words, if your lips are really dry, you may really need a lip primer or you need some foundation on your mouth to get more of the product to stick better.

The good side is: it feels powdery, my hair doesn't stick to my lipstick at all which is awesome!!!

On the other hand, it sticks soooo well to my skin!!!! It only took one swipe to get it to stick onto my skin. Not sure why so, maybe because skin has more oils and moisture than my chapped lips?

Also, after rubbing hard and bathing, it still stayed so prominently on my hands! Check out the picture below:

I don't regret getting this product, I believe it will work better on my lips when i have less chapped lips!

To those still interested in this product, go grab yours before the sale is over!

PS: I will also test out the 2nd colour on this same post when i open it. Stay tuned!
