It is no lie that I love my Essence lipsticks. They are super affordable, they have a great selection of shades to choose from, however, the quality may not be always the best, I've had some ups and downs with this brand, but who cares? They are so affordable and that gives me the chance to buy more shades and experiment. And that is why four out of five lipsticks I am talking today are from Essence.
Essence 03 Come Naturally - Come Naturally is a pale mauve shade that looks brown on the tube, however it comes mauve on the lips. It is a strange shade and not everyone loves this one, it totally depends on your skin tone on how it looks.
Essence 40 Look at Me - this is a frosty sheer nude and has a little bit of glitter in it. Looks lovely on the lips and does not wash my face out, and probably because of the glitters, it looks like a lip gloss when you wear it. Many reviews say that this one looks horrible on pale skin tones and not flattering at all, but on my medium skin tone, this one looks nice.
Essence 05 Cool Nude - this is my favourite nude shade along with the NYX one. It is the perfect brownish/mauve pink nude, applies nicely on the lips and more pigmented than the other Essence lipsticks. This is the kind of lipstick that you grab, apply and go. So pretty!
Essence 11 Nude Love - this shade is a pale pink nude shade and comes lighter than it appears on the tube. It is very similar to the natural colour of my lips and I like it because it gives a nice glow without putting extra colour. Great for everyday use and for days when you want to go natural and avoid heavy makeup.
NYX Thalia - this one is a muted mauve shade and the formula of it is creamy and very soft and applies beautifully on the lips. It is so similar to the Come Naturally but this one is slightly darker than the Essence one and more pigmented. I wrote a review about this one here.

What are your favourite affordable nude lipsticks? Tell me in the comments below and give me some ideas on what to buy next!
I have very few nude lipsticks, as I like my bolds too much!
ReplyDeleteOne I quite like is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey Douce.

I love bold shades too, especially for fall! :)
DeleteWith Essence lipsticks, I feel that you pretty much get what you pay for. The quality isn't the best, but they are still decent considering the low price tag, and pretty good for casual wear. I also think that the shade range is pretty amazing! I love nude lip colours all year round, although I don't own that many. Would love to check some of these out, they look beautiful! :) <3

I agree, the quality isn't the best and you get what you pay for, however, I found many great products from Essence and I am very pleased with their performance.
DeleteI need to really check out Essence's products already! I used to have Thalia! But unfortunately it looked more like a weird super pale pink on me. On you, it looks beautiful and almost rose-toned!
ReplyDeleteKiersten
Thank you! Yes, Thalia looks rose toned one me, I guess it depends on everyone's skin tone!
DeleteWhat great colors! I could really use a good neutral color right now!
ReplyDeleteDistrict of Chic
Thank you! Time to get back to our beloved nude shades! :)
DeleteEssence 11 Nude Love is super pretty is my favorite from this post

It is a lovely shade!
DeleteI haven't tried any lip products from Essence but I love this color range!
ReplyDeletewww.beautyfromkatie.blogspot.com
I tried a lot of them, some were great, some were awful but you get what you pay for so I am overall very pleased!
DeleteI need to look for NYX Thalia, still have no luck so far but I shall prevail for the perfect nude lipstick! Wishing you a great weekend, Yiota! xx
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
Thank you Shireen! xx
DeleteThese are definitely something I would personally wear. Great choices, Yiota! But, I love the shade 05 the most ♥ Please also check out my latest post about Tokyo Disneyland + a few tips. Hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you so much! They are lovely shades indeed! :)
DeleteI haven't tried anything from Essence but these lipsticks look lovely so I'll definitely keep an eye out! I particularly love the look of Cool Nude, that shade is right up my street!
ReplyDeleteThe Makeup Directory
Cool Nude is a lovely colour, you should go for it! :)
DeleteI wasn't a fan of nudes as I couldn't find colours that look good on me, however, after finding some good colours, I seem to enjoy wearing nudes. Cool nude and Thalia are pretty, something I would wear.
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
I was exactly the same a few years ago, I didn't seem to enjoy wearing nude shades but now I love them!
DeleteI love nude lipsticks! Thanks for sharing!

DeleteI have actually had incredibly positive experiences with essence (and NYX of course too!). I find their lipsticks to not be drying, and actually prefer them over MAC sometimes for this reason (also prefer the MAC colors).
ReplyDeleteRae | Love from Berlin
Yes, they are not dry at all and sometimes I prefer wearing them for this reason and only!They feel so comfortable on the lips.
DeleteI haven't tried the NYX lipsticks before, I'm going to have to give them a go!

I tried only a few and I am very pleased!
DeleteOh wow...I never would have thought the majority of these lippies were from Essence. I too have also had hit-and-miss experiences with the brand, but for that price you can't really go wrong. MUA is another cheep and cheerful makeup brand, but the quality is far superior to Essence, I've found.
ReplyDelete– Lubna | The Digital Review
I heard many things about MUA products and I think I will check them asap! Thanks!
DeleteI really like the sound of the NYX formula!
ReplyDeleteAbigail Alice x
It is a lovely shade and the formula is great! Worth trying it!
DeleteI really wish Essence was easier to find in Scotland. I think I could order them online from Wilkos (which we don't have here either), but I've heard their collection is so hit or miss I'm not sure where to start. These lipsticks look lovely though!
ReplyDeleteRoxie | The Beautiful Bluebird
Here we have some Essence products but it takes them so long to bring the new products and I hate them for that! Thank you Roxie :)
DeleteThis is a lovely selection of nude lipsticks! great that they are affordable too :) We don't have this brand here in Australia I don't think but it's good to know you think so highly of them :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend :)

I love essence lipsticks but I don't own any nude ones from them. I might need to get some now as all of these swatches look so beautiful. Also, NYX one looks simply gorgeous!
ReplyDelete-Leta | The Nerdy Me

Thanks girl! You don't like wearing lipstick? How come?
DeleteI have never tried any of Essence makeup. I really must give it a go because those colours are beautiful and I always hear good things about them!
ReplyDeleteAmina xx www.AliandHer.com

DeleteAll of these look gorgeous! I love essence lipsticks but I have never tried any of their nudes. Definitely need to pick up some soon :)
ReplyDeleteSarah | What Sarah Writes
Yess, they have some amazing nude shades!
Delete05 cool nude is lovely! I find it really hard to pick the right nude lip for me, so I tend to go for liners as you can mix the shades a bit more. I think I need to have a look at these Essence lipsticks though :) xx
ReplyDeleteVelvet Blush
Yes, it is so pretty! I used to hate nude shades a few years back but I think you have to find your perfect shade!
DeleteI've actually never tried Essence lip products before, but these colours are so lovely I'm definitely going to investigate! Great post <3

DeleteI should do a post like this, it's so nice! I have the Essence cool nude lipstick in my wishlist and I must say Thalia looks beautiful. Nowadays, I am loving Nyx Lip Lingerie in Ruffle Trim and Bell Cosmetics Lipstick in "no 9". Very nice post. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, loving the shades from these nude lippies! Also loving the minimalist but still chic packaging from Essence.
