Essens Classy Lipstick 05n (3.5‑4.2 g) including its features, formula, ingredients, and how to use — everything you might want to know. If you need a shorter summary or translation, I can do that too.
Name: Classy Lipstick 05n (by ESSENS)
Type / Finish: Satin, classic lipstick. It has a creamy texture that gives a satin sheen — not matte, but not glossy either.
Weight: There is slight discrepancy depending on region: 3.5 g in some descriptions; in others (e.g. UK/Serbia) 4.2 g
Paraben-free, dermatologically tested, vegan friendly.
Good coverage & long‑lasting wear: The creamy texture helps it apply evenly and cover lips well.
Moisturizing care & protection:
Vitamin E is included as an antioxidant, which hydrates and also helps reduce damage from free radicals (which contribute to skin aging).
Shea butter adds extra hydration and works to counter premature aging by keeping lips nourished.
Softness & comfort: Includes ultra‑fine spherical microspheres (tiny spherical particles) that help keep lips soft and elastic. They contribute to a smoother feel.
Since this is “05n,” the “n” likely means a “neutral” or “nude/nearly nude” undertone, depending on Essens’ naming scheme (but exact shade appearance depends on your skin tone).
The satin finish gives a moderate shine — enough luster that lips look moisturized, but not high gloss.
The creamy formula should glide on without tugging, and feels somewhat hydrating.
Here are some of the important ingredients used, with brief notes:
| Ingredient | Role / What it does |
|---|---|
| Octyldodecanol | Emollient — helps with smooth application, helps moisture retention. |
| Synthetic wax, petrolatum, hydrogenated microcrystalline wax | Provide structure, hold, and contribute to the texture (body) of the lipstick. |
| Polybutene, VP/Hexadecene copolymer etc. | Help with adhesion (so color stays), film‑forming properties. |
| Tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E) | Antioxidant, helps protect and nourish lips. |
| Shea butter (implied) | Moisturizing, skin conditioning. |
| Microspheres, silica | Texture modifiers, help with smooth feel and finish. |
| Colorants (MICA, CI 77491, CI 77492 etc.) | Pigment and shimmer / lustre components. |
Also note that some ingredient entries are “(+/−)” meaning they may or may not be present depending on the batch or shade (e.g. mica for shimmer, certain CI colorants).
Tip before applying: Use a lip contour pencil first. It helps define shape and prevents feathering.
Apply in thin layers: For more even color and longer wear, apply lightly, blot, and re‑apply. This will help it last longer.
Hydrate lips beforehand: Even with moisturizing ingredients, starting with smooth, exfoliated lips helps the satin lipstick look better and more uniform.
Carry a small mirror / clean edges: Because satin finishes can accentuate lines or uneven edges, a precision applicator helps.
Satin lipstick tends to transfer more than matte, especially with moisture, eating/drinking. Might need touch‑ups.
The “neutral” shade may look different depending on your skin undertone. On warm skin it might look slightly ashy; on cool skin maybe more pinkish or taupe‑leaning.
Because there are some waxes and petrolatum, people with very oily skin may find it feels a bit heavy, or that durability is less than fully matte options.
