Been trying to pan a few of these for a very long time.
Rimmel Matte Lipstick in Matte Factor: got this as a gift on my 18th birthday (I am 25) and it is my most prized possession. Rimmel is gateway to “the expensive stuff” where I am from, and for my Essence-exclusive 18 year old this was so special. Not only that, it influenced my whole taste in lipsticks cause the color just fits me so well. A little bold, red berry, slightly grunge-y. And since it was my good lipstick, of course I didn’t want to use it. But now it’s sooo old and I just want to finish it before it goes bad. I am so sad now about it because I never really got to enjoy it despite being my favourite lipstick back then, and now it’s not my favorite anymore.
Essence Cool Collagen 203 My Advice: sheer and glossy, love it, but the bullet broke so many times, I can hear it at night begging to be killed
Apivita chesnut lip balm: another case of trying to put off using it until the very special occasion/period in my life that never came. I even have a backup, and I do not enjoy the color anymore.
Essence Long-Lasting Lipstick in “Barely There”: oldest in the bunch, even older than the Rimmel. Kinda like the colour, don’t like the texture, incoming hate pan.
Essence What The Fake Nude finish: I enjoy the red one so much more because it is more plumping. The color was horrible on me, mixed in some darker red and nude lipstick to give it some life.
Essence Juicy Bomb Poppin Pomegranate: screaming crying throwing up over discontinuing Pretty Plum and changing the formulation. It used to feel so hydrating and nice on the lips, this does not. It is indeed very shiny and with a beautiful finish
Nyx lipliner Ever: same story, bought it in 2022, realized it is everything I want from a lip liner, especially the color, and decided to use it sparingly. Why do I do this??? I even got a back up so I could occasionally glance at them and think about how much I love them without actually using and enjoying them. But it’s time for him to get useddddd
Miss Sporty lip liner Nude: another hate pan in progress, don’t really like the colour
