Its my first time trying Essence Lipsticks.Though they have a wide range of shades ,most of them are shimmery with frosty finish.There are just 2-3 shades without shimmer and All about cupcakes is one of them.
PACKAGE-Has a simple plastic package.The outer cover color is same as the shade of the lipstick so you can easily choose them if you have more than one shade.Not very sturdy but will be fine as long as you don't sit on it lol (and i doubt anyone would do that to their lipsticks...awwww poor babies)
SHADES-All about cupcakes is a n*de pink shade with a hint of coral.In swatches it tends to be more on the coral side.While on lips its the perfect N*de Pink.This will be a MLBB for many girls.Though i feel at a certain point it might look a little washed out so go crazy on the eye make up-ultra smokey etc.
TEXTURE And PIGMENTATION-The texture somewhat resembles Revlon Lip Butters(reviewed HERE).Yes,it is smooth and creamy.Since i have dry lips i do love applying this.The pigmentation of this shade is sheer but can be build up for moderate coverage for those with pigmented lips.Requires atleast 2-3 swipes.
STAYING POWER-The staying power is poor.Its more like a pigmented lip balm.Priced at only Rs.249 ($4 approx)You can buy online from Essence Cosmetics India Fb PAGE HEREor visit the outlet in M5,GK1,M block Market.Above Gloria Jeans.
(P.S.Ignore my plain make up.I'm too stressed to wanna feel/look pretty these days.Exam tension :p)
