  • “This, in my opinion, is a much easier process”30:27–30:33
  • “I love this product and to me this is much faster, much easier than like a peel off lip liner stain because it's essentially a marker that you just draw on and once it dries it doesn't move”30:50–30:55
  • “I actually like this better than some of the other alternatives I've tried”31:01–31:05
  • “It is much larger. Like so many brands are doing lip liner stains that have kind of like a very bendy flexible applicator and it's hard to evenly apply them. I like this one because it tapers off to like a very pointed tip so you can be precise with it”31:05–31:09
  • “Super longwearing”

  • “It's a retractable ultra creamy formula”12:35–12:39
  • “I wish they had more shades in these honestly because I like this color, but sometimes I want a little bit of a darker brown”
  • “I wouldn't say this is the most longwearing lip liner that I own, but there is some longevity cuz there is some grip with this formula”12:46–12:49
  • “It's not going to completely slide off when you apply it, which I do like”12:52–12:55
  • “I just wish the lip liner, like I said, came in some darker variations of brown”13:06–13:12
  • “I wish they had more shades, like I said, because it is a nice formula”12:37–12:40

Brand note

Essence is the drugstore brand that keeps surprising creators with how good the formulas are for the money. The Super Peptide Glossy Lip Treatment comes up most often — a non-sticky, high-shine gloss with a smooth, hydrating feel that people compare favorably to high-end options. The Soft Touch Butter Bronzer also gets consistent praise for its soft, blurring, easy-to-blend texture. The main trade-off across the line is limited shade ranges, which creators note can exclude a lot of skin tones.
