Essence matte lipsticks

Mat karmini se sve češće sreću u prodaji i mnogi brendovi ih patentiraju, ni ne stižem da priuštim sebi i isprobam svaki. Međutim, Essence kozmetika je jako priuštiva i čim sam videla najnovije mat karmine u Lilly parfimeriji morala sam da uzmem dve od tri nijanse koje sam videla da nude, pogotovo što su me koštali svega nešto malo iznad 300 dinara. Treći karmin je bio jarkoroze, a kako te nijanse ne volim da koristim jer mi se ne sviđa kako mi pristaju odlučila sam da ga preskočim.
Nijanse koje sam uzela su obeležene brojevima 08 (bordo) i 02 (ružičasto nude). Što se nijanse 08 tiče, to je tipična upadljiva bordo boja sa primesama boje šljive i zato mi se dopala, ali kad sam je isprobala shvatila sam da je izuzetno tamna, čak i za moj ukus. Imam utisak da mi ne pristaje baš najbolje, verovatno jer sam se odvikla od tamnih karmina jer najčešće koristim nude nijanse u poslednje vreme, tako da ću je ubuduće nanositi u jednom jedinom sloju. Nijansa 02 je daleko nosivija za sve podtonove jer ima i primesu ružičaste koja pristaje ljudima sa hladnim podtonom, kao i bež koja stoji onima sa toplijim podtonom, tako da je ona zaista svestrana i pogodna za svakodnevni izgled. Formula ne isušuje usne, ali se u odnosu na tečne mat karmine lakše skidaju i potrebno je korigovati ih nešto češće, ali s obzirom na to koliko im je cena priuštiva vredi isprobati ih.
Da li je neko od vas već imao priliku da ih proba i kakvi su utisci? :)



You can find more and more different matte lipsticks launched by so many different brands, I can't even try them all out. However, Essence cosmetics is very affordable and as soon as I saw the newest matte lipsticks in a local shop I had to take two out of three shades that were available for purchase, especially since they costed a little less than three euros. The third lipstick is in a bright shade of pink, and since I don't like to use those shades because I'm not impressed by how they look on me, I decided to skip it.
The shades that I took are marked by numbers 08 (burgundy) and 02 (a pinkish nude). When it comes to shade number 08, it is a typical statement burgundy with a touch of deep plum and that's why I liked it, but when I tried it on I realized that it's incredibly dark even for my liking. I got the impression that it doesn't look so good on me, probably because I'm no longer used to dark lipsticks since I only use nude shades lately, so I'll probably apply just a single layer of it in the future. Shade number 02 is much more suitable for all skin tones because it contains a pinkish shade that suits people with a colder skin tone, as well as beige that suits those with a warmer skin tone, so it's really versatile and suitable for an everyday look. The formula doesn't dry out your lips, but compared to liquid matte lipsticks they smear a bit more easily and you need to fix them a bit more often, but considering that they were truly a bargain they're worth a try.
Did anyone have a chance to try them out yet and what are your impressions? :)
