Essence Cutie Mac Cutie is the newest addiction to my lipstick collection. I'd originally purchased it to be a giveaway prize, but unfortunately while I was in the store swatching dozens of lipsticks it fell, the cap flew away and the tip got broke :( nothing major though!
Anyway, Cutie Mac Cutie is a pink glittery lipstick with a frost finish; it has a creamy consistency and it glides on very smoothly on the lips. I really like its texture! It has an average staying power of 2-3 hours, after which it'll start to fade gradually. I think that it can look a bit too much if applied all over the lips; I like to dab it just on the center of my lips to make them look plumpier and more 'tridimensional'. In the photos, however, you see me with the product applied all over the lips, just to give you the idea of the shade and finish!

I think that it's a very nice lipstick for the (very, very) low price and I think that Essence should add more shades to their lipstick line, because there are just a few nice ones while the other look a bit dated and 'Nineties'.
