I film my videos mainly using natural lighting as artificial studio lighting greatly alters the look/ performance of products and acts very similary to a filter. Besides, I don't live my life under studio lighting, so I need my makeup to look good in natural lighting mostly for my day to day life, which I why I prefer to test out products in the type of lighting I see my makeup in most.

I love that you mention which shade would look good on other skin tones. Based on your recommendation I want to check out Pink Drink and Nice Spice.

[@FloatinginDreams]

I want my reviews to be as inclusive as can be. Just because I am just one person and something may not be my favorite doesn't mean it can't be great for someone else.

[@konstanina.ts.]

Beautiful headband!! It suits you so well!!

[@FloatinginDreams]

Thanks! It was a free gift with purchase with a Kiko order.

[@Natasa77]

Hi Maaike, again, your reviews are the best out there, so thorough and useful, thank you! There is a shade 201 Sweet Copper on Notino, I just saw it this morning although several days ago when I checked they didn't have it. I like these from Essence, when I first saw the release online I was afraid that it would be poorly made but oddly enough I find the look and the packaging of these much more better quality than all of the bullet lipsticks they released in the last couple of years. But the only shade I picked up and was excited about was 107 Hot Chili. I have very pale lips with little pigment so this colour looks almost neon on me (but definitely wearable lol). It reminds me of two shades of those hydra matte lipsticks they came up with last year (maybe?), they were 407 and 408 and they were also punchy colours, I still keep those. But the lipstick colours Essence comes up with have become a little too predictable, I feel. I feel like they've mastered the reds and they're always going to have a mauve one and several beigey brownish pinkish ones. It would be nice to see their take on the purples, magentas, and similar colours. Have a great Sunday! x

[@FloatinginDreams]

Ah so they finally released the 10th shade. I couldn't find it before filming this video.

[@Brilliantnash]

Looks like Essence did a nice job on these lippies. Not in the market for new lippies, but most of them looked nice to very nice on you.

[@FloatinginDreams]

They certainly did!

[@beverly20024]

Pinky cool mauve shades are my jam! And, I hate scented lipsticks…can give me headaches. I so appreciate your videos! Thank you!

[@Summerdew123]

Velvet punch is an exact dupe for "Blush" Velveteen liquid lip by Lisa Eldridge. I own both and wore them together. Upper lip Lisa, and essence lower lip. I could hardy tell them apart. Lisa is deeper if not blotted but that's it. The differences are almost undetectable. And I like Essence a bit better. Damn 😂

[@FloatinginDreams]

I am going to have to compare those. Hadn't clocked them as similar as Velvet Blush is quite warm toned on me.

[@Summerdew123]

@@FloatinginDreams yes please do. I have slightly darker lips then you, maybe that makes a difference too. Let me know, quite curious ! 🙏

[@agiandben8126]

Thanks so much, love your reviews, so thorough and talk to skin undertones for everyone (I am olive and warm, so appreciate the tone tips)! Just wondering, how similar is 202 Brick Red to Lisa L. cinnabar?

[@ilianakonn]

I got one shade 2 days ago and it is sooo good! The second shade of the line is a close dupe of my favorite discontinued mac lipstick Love U Back so i will have to buy a few backups 😅

[@FloatinginDreams]

Glad you found a shade you love.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

😊Nice shades. I think 104 and 106 are my faves. Both look great for spring. I've seen similar colours from luxury brands in their spring releases

[@FloatinginDreams]

Yes they feel very lux too. Def a luxury product in drugstore packaging.

[@GiovannaIwishyou]

Great review, thanks! One of those shades actually left a stain on my hand when I swatched it (a lighter pink one).

[@FloatinginDreams]

Yes these last a very long time for how creamy they are.

[@Kimmi.x]

Super mooie kleuren! 😍🥰

[@kimpelders4996]

Wow je abonnees gaan echt hard! Ik ga deze lipsticks zeker proberen. Zien er echt heel comfortabel uit ❤❤

[@FloatinginDreams]

Thanks! Ja het gaat best lekker met de abonnees.

[@Celine22024]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@FloatinginDreams]

My pleasure 😊

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

Baby got Blush looked great on you 😊

[@FloatinginDreams]

It is my fave for a reason.

[@lianabejan64]

these look like the Maybelline Color Sensational Slim lipsticks, hope to get my hands on the first shade and compare the two

[@FloatinginDreams]

These definitely remind me of lipsticks I have tried by more expensive brands. I have a creamy lipstick from Victoria Beckham that these remind me of.

Maaike!🥰 Wat vreselijk jammer dat ik jou niet eerder tegen ben mogen komen, hier op KZbin! Ik googelde voor swatch-video's van deze specifieke lipsticks (die Boozyshop trouwens allemaal nog heeft, óók die 201) en kwam o.a. deze video tegen. En wat blijkt? EINDELIJK heb ik een KZbinr gevonden die, ook qua ondertonen, PRECIES mijn huidkleur én zelfs PRECIES mijn lipkleur heeft; ben ik zó blij mee! Kortom: Je hebt er een nieuwe abonnee bij die nog heel veel filmpjes van jou hoopt te gaan zien.😊 Liefs vanuit Tilburg. X👋

[@FloatinginDreams]

Blij dat je er nu wel bij bent! Bedankt dat je mijn video's leuk vindt en er veel uit. Veel kijkplezier.

[@anix670]

I ❤ The Lipstick Lesbians😁

[@FloatinginDreams]

They are one of my fave accounts on Tiktok.

[@anix670]

@@FloatinginDreams they provide SO much formula information in a really easy to digest way.

[@Brilliantnash]

They are great and provide so much information.
