I really like this lipgloss its not very sticky but has a very nice shine and consistency. Honestly, I love the price as well and I would recommend this to anyone :)
I purchased this product in the clear shade to layer over lip liners and matte lipsticks and loved it! Its not sticky at all ad super shiny! that plus the low price, definitely a great buy. :)
I was quite pleased with this gloss. It was inexpensive which is always a plus! It gave a nice colour to my lips that seemed too last. It wasn't thick and sticky. I loved the smell! :)
I have 2 essence XXXL shine lip gloss #18 sparkling papaya & #19 nude candy. I won them in a contest along with other items from essence. They both have a nice sweet smell. I found #19 to be very pigmented, I thought #18 would've been pigmented, but its not & I'm glad. They both stay on for along time. But when you eat or drink you do have to reapply it.
I don't buy lip gloss that often anymore, because my tastes have changed a bit with makeup, and I find that a lot of lip glosses now are priced too high anyways. However, XXXL Shine is only about 3 bucks, and so far it's performed just as well as any other more expensive brand of lip gloss I've tried!
I purchased "Nude Kiss". It's obviously a more natural looking base colour, but it also has lots of shimmer as well. I'm not always a fan of shimmery lips, but this is ok because I didn't plan on wearing it all the time, and it just emphasizes the glossiness anyways.
This lip gloss has a vanilla/cotton candy type scent to it, which is nice. The tube says it's supposed to be moisturizing, and non-sticky. I don't know how moisturizing it would be, because I wear lip balm anyways, but I can definitely agree that this is non-sticky, which is a must for this type of product.
The only thing that surprised me about this product was the applicator. The brush/sponge for this is kind of longer and thinner than most I've used before. It doesn't affect me but it's still kind of different.
I'm definitely going to pick up some more shades of this in the future, and also check out essence's Stay With Me Longlasting Gloss, as that seems to have some more crème/solid shades than shimmers.
