Essence Coast'n'Chill TE and Catrice Blessing Browns LE Matte Liquid Lipsticks

Today I have even more liquid lipstick reviews, I have just been loving them lately. Two are from the Essence's new Coast'n'Chill trend edition and one from the Catrice's Blessing Browns limited edition, the last one looks really similar to the Liquid Lip Powders from Catrice, which I really like, that's I mainly why got it. I wanted one darker autumnal shade, but it didn't impress me so much as that one. I have seen both of the collections in Müller already, so if you like the lipsticks, be quick.

Essence Coast'n'Chill TE Velvet Matt Liquid Lipstick 01 Smooth & Move* and 02 Smooth & Groove*

The packaging is much more visually appealing than by Catrice, I actually really like it, slim and sleek with a white cap and white writing. It contains 9g of product for 2,79€, what seems like a very good price.

There are only these two shades in the limited edition. Smooth & Move is a lighter nude and Smooth & Groove is a gray toned mauve shade. The nude one is lighter than my lips. Firstly, I didn't really like the shade, but when I wore it, I realized it looks great. The darker one is definitely my favourite, I adore the shade, it's a bit darker for what I usually go for, but not that of a difference, I love it for the autumnal weather we have now.

I love the applicator. It is a small doe foot that is just perfect for applying the lipstick precisely and it transfers just enough product on the lips.

The formula is nice and well pigmented, but it can look uneven sometimes, you can see that on my swatches, but it isn't really visible on the lips. It dries in a few minutes and it feels a bit sticky, especially when drying. The finish is truly matte. The scent is weird and unpleasant, but subtle. The liquid lipsticks are very comfortable on the lips and they don't feel drying. They are also very long-lasting. In three words: I love them.

Catrice Blessing Browns LE Matt Lip Cream C02 Café Noir

The design is the same as by Liquid Lip Powders, big and bulky, the difference is, that this one looks more luxurious, because of its gold details. I have a feeling the gold will quickly rub off. It contains 6ml of product and costs around 4€. 

There are four shades in the Blessing Browns LE, all are on the brown side. One is pink toned, one gray-mauve toned and the third one is a lighter brown. My shade is the darkest and it is called Café Noir. It is a very dark brown. I wasn't sure if it would suit me. I sent my boyfriend to get me one, I wanted the second darkest one, but there weren't any, so he got me this one instead.

The applicator is the same as by the Lip Powder, it's nice, but not my favourite, I much prefer the one by Essence. It is soft but it can hold a bit too much product, so I need to wipe it off, before applying the lipstick.

It has a lightweight formula, but it's very good pigmented. It has the same scent as the Trend It Up matte liquid lipstick, like cookie dough. I feel that you would need a lip liner to apply it precisely, but if you are precise enough you can do it with the applicator because it doesn't bleed or smudge. It dries to a matte finish, but it takes a while to completely set sometimes, so I just blot it with a tissue and it sets quicker. It doesn't transfer, it just leaves a slightly visible trace. It is long-lasting, but it can look uneven when it starts to fade, which is obviously very visible with this kind of shade. It doesn't feel drying on the lips.

I also need to mention that the first time when I applied it, it dried really patchy, but from then, it always looked good and smooth on the lips. Also, some blogger friends mentioned that they have different experiences with all of these Blessing Browns matte liquid lipsticks, so I feel they are a bit of a hit or miss product.

I am so impressed with the Coast'n'Chill liquid lipstick, it's a shame it's a limited edition, I hope they will have more of them or put some of them in the regular line in the spring time. I would really buy more if they would have them. These are probably the best lipsticks Essence has ever released. For the Catrice I am not so impressed with the shade, I have a childish face, so it looks a bit too much, but it is a good shade to have for Halloween :D. The formula seems a bit better than by the Lip Powder, not so drying, but it does need a longer time to set.

Thank you for reading!
