Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatches of the Essence Colour Boost Mad About Matte Liquid Lipsticks in 01 Dusty Romance, 04 Mad Matters and 07 Seeing Red.
I always love finding affordable and high-quality liquid lipsticks, so these Essence matte liquid lipsticks really caught my eye.
I’m trying a different format for this review. The formula is consistent with each shade, so I’m combining the review into one while showing you each shade. These three were the only shades I could find, but I’ll leave them linked so you can see the other colours available.
You can get them from Ulta for $3.99 each.
Dusty Romance (01)
Mad Matters (04)
Seeing Red (07)
Colour
- 01 Dusty Romance is a brown nude.
- 04 Mad Matters is a pink rose nude.
- 07 Seeing Red is a bright coral.
PACKAGING
The packaging is really nice. I like the squeeze tube that’s the same shade of the lipstick.
I really love the hourglass applicator for these liquid lipsticks. It’s quite stiff, and it’s so easy to be precise with.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
Lip paint would be the perfect name for this product when you first apply it. It looks like paint. In the beginning, it’s very liquidy, but then it sets and becomes matte.
This liquid lipstick has a super lightweight formula, and it feels like nothing is on the lips.
It’s not really drying, so it’s a more comfortable matte. It almost feels moisturizing, but it doesn’t transfer.
This Essence product also has the most delicious vanilla/caramel scent.

LASTING POWER
This matte lipstick lasted 5 hours on me, and it survived a meal. I just had to touch up the middle part, but it was very easy to layer and fix – it didn’t bunch up.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 7/10
- Application: 9/10
- Texture: 9/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Packaging: 10/10
GRADE: A
This lipstick is absolutely stunning, I love the way it looks, the shades are beautiful (the red doesn’t really look great on me but it’s great nonetheless) and the packaging is wonderful. It’s one of the most comfortable matte liquid lipstick I own. It lasts a really long time. The packaging is pretty, the applicator is one of the best out there and the scent is divine, but if you don’t like it, just know it doesn’t linger.

The formula is incredible, I’m not usually super into mattes but these really surprised me

My word of the year is adventure. For me, part of that is playing with my make up a little more. I always go for a soft lip color but have recently decided to rock a red lip. This looks like the perfect one to try!
Mimi dice
You will love it! x

These look like good and bright lip stains. I prefer matte to others.

These look phenomenal ?? I’m always scared of matte liquid lipsticks making my lips crack and crumble, but this brand seems very nice!

They are incredible! And so affordable xx

It’s so cheap!! The dusty romance shade looks almost exactly like the Cool Girl shade in the Melted Matte collection of Too Faced! 😮
Mimi dice
Never tried the Too Faced ones!
With love, Caroline dice
They’re really good!
Mimi dice
I’ll have to take a look at those!
Shamsa dice
I would really love to find a dupe of 01 dusty rose because they don’t sell that exact shade in the place I live in

What brands can you access? I can tell you if there’s something similar in them
