'All over shimmer' is a sparkling bronzer from the 'Sun Club' summer collection of Essence. 'Sun Club' has been created to enlighten our skin with a bright touch of tanning shimmers, giving an healthy shiny look.
I went for the blondes version even if I have quite olive-easy tanning skin. Definitely the right choice. The colour is intense and the bronzing effect is really visible even if I already got few rays of sunlight this summer. The result is nice, not to intense, a lovely touch of warm shimmers. Just one device: be aware of blend well into your skin and mix the colours on your brush before apply. If not you'll notice the stripes on you body!

The formula is light and covering, the texture is creamy, the finish is glossy. I found the lipsticks even too much glossy to be lipsticks, even if they have an intense pigmentation, which is absolutely a plus, I couldn't appreciate their texture that results too soft to me. The risk is to apply too much product that will moves all around your lips.
The solution I have found is applying a small amount. The lips remains moisturized with a reflective finish. It is the perfect alternative if you usually go for a gloss on top of your lipstick.
About the packaging: hate it or love it. Romantic and luxurious gold case, with a clever mirror at the top of the cap. You won't go unnoticed applying it on the bus. (I personally love it!)

The 'Stay with me' collection of Essence is described as 'color-intensive and long-lasting'. I must agree with this sentence, particularly as regard 'Candy bar' which is an intense bright watermelon colour, very pigmented to be a gloss, and, to me, the perfect warm pink for summer season. It is also true that the gloss is very resistant, it stays in place without moving or drying your lips. The effect is lovely, neither sticky nor disappearing (a definitive plus considering the price the lipgloss has). Really recommendable, elect your favourite shade and give it a try!
