ESSENCE – LIP LINERS

Od kako pratim mejkap blogove, primetila sam da postoji kategorija proizvoda koji od skoro svake blogerke dobijaju samo reči hvale. ESSENCE-ove olovke za usne, o kojima je i današnji post, spadaju u ovu kategoriju proizvoda koji se moraju isprobati.

Since I started following makeup blogs, I’ve noticed that there are some products that get extremely positive reviews and fall into category of MUST HAVE products. Essence lip liners, which I’ll be talking about today, definitely fit the description. 

Na ESSENCE-ovom sajtu stoji da je u prodaji 9 nijansi, po preporučenoj ceni od 129 dinara, što je za bilo koji komad šminke zaista smešna cena. Neke nijanse je skoro pa nemoguće naći u drogerijama, pošto se pokupuju brzinom svetlosti, tako da najčešće ostaju tamne boje na rafovima.

There are 9 shades available of Essences web site which cost 129 RSD per piece (about one Euro of 2 Dollars), which you gotta admit is almost silly how cheap it is. More popular shades tend to sell out really fast, so the usual shades that you’ll find are the darker ones. 

Na ovoj slici se vidi pregled svih nijansi, dostupnih u Srbiji, od kojih ću vam pričati u ovom postu o jarko crvenoj Femme Fatale i tamno nude Soft Berry.

As you can see on the picture bellow, these are the 9 shades available in Serbia. Today I’ll talk to you about  true red Femme Fatale and dark nude Soft Berry.

Olovke dolaze u standardnom pakovanju sa plastičnim poklopcem i imaju svaka po 1 gram. Ako se plašite da nećete uspeti da istrošite olovke pre nego što im prođe rok upotrebe, verujem da sa ovim olovkama nećete imati problema, pošto su veoma meke i lake za nanošenje. Rok trajanja naznačen na pakovanju je 36 meseci. Tokom aplikacije proizvoda, olovke ostavljaju glatke poteze, ne krune se, niti sam primetila da se lome. Preporučljivo je da ih zarezujete oštrim rezačem da biste dobili preciznije rezultate, ali ako to ne uspete, možete se solidno našminkati i sa tupljom olovkom.

Lip liners come in standard packaging with a plastic lid and each has one gram. If you are one of those people who are afraid that they wont be able to use up the product before the expiration date, don’t worry, these lip liners are super creamy and easy to apply. The expiration date is 36 months so you’ll have just enough time to get most of this product. During the application, the liner glides easily across the lips and leaves a very pigmented trace. Liners don’t break easily and leave a consistent color on the lips. If you’re looking for more precise application, do sharpen your lip liners before use. DSCN6002

Olovke odlično pokrivaju usne i ostavljaju polu mat finiš, s obzirom na to da su masnije. Ako imate suve usne, najbolje je odraditi blagi piling pre nanošenja proizvoda da ne bi isticao suve delove. Trajnost ovim olovkama nije jača strana. Stoje na usnama oko 3 i po, 4 sata uz pretpostavku da ne jedete ništa. S obzirom na njihovu cenu, ovo je skroz očekivano, pa ako želite da im produžite trajnost, nanesite preko njih karmin u sličnoj nijansi i matirajte ga providnim puderom.

These lip liners have great coverage and leave a semi-mat finish, since they are more on the soft side. If your lips are chapped of dry, do a lip pilling before application of this product for better results. The only thing that isn’t very good with these liners is their durability. They stay on the lips for about 3 or 4 hours (considering you haven’t eaten or drank anything). Overall, these lip liners have an amazing price-quality ratio and even though they might not be the most consistent liners, they are worth every penny.

Prva nijansa je jarko crvena nijansa 14 Femme Fatale. Ovo je jedna od onih nijansi koje će svima lepo stajati bez obzira na boju kose i kože. Na ovakvu boju pomislim kad neko kaže True Red ili Hollywood Red boja.

First one that I’ve bought is in the shade 14 Femme Fatale. This is one of those colors that work on almost anybody. First thing that pops into my mind when describing this color is True Red of Hollywood Red. 
DSCN6007Druga nijansa koju sam krajnje impulsivno kupila u DM-u pre nekoliko dana je u nijansi 05 Soft Berry, koja je pravi kameleon od nijanse. Svaki put kad je nanesem imam osećaj da je drugačija boja u pitanju. Boja je tamno nude, nešto između ljubičaste i braon, odlična za jesen i zimu. Podseća na one nijanse koje je popularizovala Kylie Jenner, tako da ako vam je potrebna neka boja kojom biste iskopirali taj trend, ovo bi moglo da posluži.

Second shade is 05 Soft Berry and it is one the most unique shades that I own. It looks different on every woman. When I first bought it, I was really confused and couldn’t describe the color properly. One moment it looked more purple, the next it looked kind of brown. To be fair, I’d say it’s a dark nude color, just in between purple and brown. If you’re looking for a nude shade which resembles ones that Kylie Jenner is wearing, this might just work.
