Nature Republic By Flower Lip Essence Review

   A few weeks ago, I made a review about Nature Republic By Flower Lip Scrub. It was only recently that I got the chance to purchase its partner and today's featured product, the By Flower Lip Essence. It was always out of stock at SM Fairview. Good thing it was available at Fairview Terraces so I purchased it without hesitation. The salesladies at Nature Republic would always mention about this Lip Essence everytime I purchase the Lip Scrub. They said it is recommended to use this after scrubbing. I got it at 10% less the price because of my discount card. This product costs PhP 235 for a 10ml tube.

   The By Flower Lip Essence's packaging is the same tube type dispenser as the Lip Scrub. It  is sealed in a plastic wrap upon purchase (like the scrub above). Unlike the scrub's transparent tube, the essence's tube is pearly pink. You cannot see the quantity of the product inside. There are no English description written at the back as usual. The expiry date is stamped on top of the tube. The essence is transparent and has a light floral scent.

   According to my research, this lip essence contains mango essence to help moisturize lips. When applied, you can feel the oily content of the product. The slant-tip applicator makes it easy to glide the product onto your lips. You only need a little (and I mean little) amount to cover the entire lips because too much will result to a sticky heavy feeling. Like you smudged grease instead of a lip product. One good thing about this product is that it has SPF 15 so it is great to use during daytime. It has a tingly sensation when applied. Not minty cool one but I guess prickly will be the right term to describe it. 

PROS:

- moisturizing

- a little goes a long way

- easy to apply

- lasts even after drinking 

- can be used alone or as a gloss with lipstick

- has SPF 15

- affordable

- handy

CONS:

- you can't see the quantity of product left

- a little sticky upon application

- the prickly sensation 

   This lip essence is good to pair with its Lip Scrub counterpart but not very necessary if you have other lip balms in your beauty arsenal. But this is a good one if you want something that will serve as both your lip care product and lip gloss. Nice to use during daytime as it has SPF content. Ladies on -the-go will surely like this as it is small and very handy. Just slip it on your pocket and you're good to go. I give this darling a 4 out of 5!!!!
