Ah, we are already at the last lip product from this western-style LE... this is the Essence Yee Haw! Shiny Lipgloss, shade 01/It's Me, Howdy! (the only shade available)
Well howdy, indeed! I was debating originally whether to get this lip gloss or not, but it sure looks like a Juicy Bomb and those are sooo good, so it shall be purchased ASAP! Possibly the most glossy of the lip products in this LE, if it’s anything like a Juicy Bomb is usually; for someone who craves juicy, glassy gloss, it is very exciting to me to finally be able to try this lip gloss! I thought it would be sold out immediately (little girls usually buy out these Juicy Bomb variants within a few days), but I was able to snag one while stocks were still at a healthy level. To me, this looks like a Juicy Bomb, only, make it cowboy, which, I'd Lie if I said I didn’t love this. I just know that it’s going to be fantastic, I can feel that deep inside... but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves – this needs to first be tested out properly, before coming to any such conclusions! So let’s try it out already!
Reminder that you can see a video of the swatch on my Instagram Reel here!
The cap might seem like it doesn’t close tightly but oh it does! It screws on, so it is as secure as could be! I have never (so far) had a Juicy Bomb leak on me so it’s obvious how tightly it closes. The applicator inside is stubby, wide and angled, with a relatively large hole through which the lip gloss comes out. Simple design, but it works! And since it matches the rest of the Juicy Bombs, it looks awesome next to them.

And since the tube is soft, you don’t need to use extra force to squeeze it out, which is easier on the wrist. Just be careful because it is easier than it seems to squeeze out too much gloss! Again, I would prefer a doe foot, but all Juicy Bombs have this same type of nozzle and it obviously works, so why change it?
The gloss itself is phenomenally smooth! It glides over lips without ever tugging at them, even if they are all chapped and dry! What a dream! And it applies thickly and evenly, with zero effort needed! So, as long as you are careful with the nozzle, applying this lip gloss should be a breeze!
I am literally in love! Shame that it’s not as visible on camera. But IRL, it looks stunning! I cannot stop looking at it from how mesmerising it is! And the F of it all is that it never looks cheap! Like, this is actually incredible!
It soothes irritations on the lips momentarily, making a great choice to pick if your lips need an SOS! See why I have converted to Juicy-Bomb-ism? It’s a phenomenal lip gloss, even if it is currently cosplaying a cowboy!
But, since it is not crazy pigmented, the damage isn’t really visible. There’s less gloss, sure, but it’s not bad-looking by any means. That’s if you wear it solo; worn on top of other lip products, things may become more problematic. But on its own, it really doesn’t last long. Again, this type of lip gloss is simply like this, this is its nature, so it’s no better or worse than any other lip gloss that is similarly watery feeling.
Extremely easy to remove – possibly one of the easiest lip glosses to remove, even! It can be removed with a moist cotton pad and it doesn’t leave a grossly waxy residue on the lips, although I would recommend removing it with micellar water or a specialised remover. That will be even quicker, just a few seconds, one swipe, and ta-da! All removed! And the shimmer doesn’t go everywhere on your face. Yeah, there’s really nothing bad with this lip gloss, is there?
