essence cosmetics Longlasting Lipstick is something I hadn’t tried until recently but now you can count me as a fan!
In fact, I haven’t tried very many essence products at all for some reason. I think probably mostly because I didn’t have an Ulta nearby me until recently. Anyway, now that I’ve tried some things I am excited because they have some great stuff and it’s inexpensive.
Longlasting Lipstick comes in 13 shades and in both a cream and matte formula. These are really lightweight lipsticks but they aren’t necessarily all sheer. They have a very nice moisturizing formula and feel super comfortable on. Like a lip balm more than a lipstick. I really like the packaging because the little band of color on the outside matches the exact lipstick shade. Also I love the “e” embossed on them, it just makes them seem higher-end.

Get The Look, Nude Love, Love Me, Wear Berries!, Adorable Matt!
Get The Look is a pale pink.
Nude Love is a pale nude.
Love Me is a light coral.
Wear Berries! is a medium berry/pink.
Adorable Matt! is an intense red.
The lighter shades such as Get The Look, Nude Love and Love Me settle a little bit into lip lines, but remember, these are super close-up photos so it’s not as noticeable from a normal distance. Despite that issue I really like Nude Love a lot. Wear Berries! And Adorable Mat! have a better formula and are more opaque.

Adorable Matt!
I’m happy to have tried these out because I find them super comfortable to wear and they are very affordable. They do have a mild melon-esque scent and taste to them but nothing too overpowering for me. They last the normal amount of time on me which is a couple hours or so.
You can find these at Ulta and the essence website and they are $2.99 each.
See any shades here you like?

2.99!? Finally, a price tag I can SO get behind! I’ve gotta grab Wear Berries, it’s beautiful!
Wear berries is such a pretty color, great for summer !
I absolutely LOVE these lipsticks! I have four of the nude shades and I agree, it’s just so comfortable, almost like a lip balm! I always grab them at Ulta with one of those $3.50 off/$10 coupons, makes them an even better deal!

I have to try some of these. I’ve tried other things by them, including some other lipsticks, concealer sticks and eyeliners, and have been impressed by all. They have fantastic nail polishes, too. Many are practically one-coaters.
I am super excited to try these lipsticks. Like Heidi above I’ve been trying some of their other products and have been pleasantly surprised by most. Time to visit Ulta!
Wear Berries! A must have .. got a list going, must stop by Ulta soon 🙂

I also love these lipsticks! Barely There is such a great nudey-mauve color, I wear it a lot. I wish we got more of the Essence stuff here in the US. They put out some really cool little collections that I can never get my hands on.
That’s my biggest gripe about Ulta and Essence–more of the special collections, please!

I haven’t been very impressed with the Essence items I’ve tried, unfortunately.
Wear Berries and Adorable Matt are my favs here.
Oooh very pretty! My faves are Nude Love and Adorable Matt! I’d recommend their nail polishes, I have 4 and they’re great! I also bought a cream eyeshadow and the pencil sharpener and they do not dissapoint.
I like Adorable Matt
I am way impressed with these swatches and am now interested in trying essence lipsticks!!
Uhhhhh yeah. I need Adorable Mat! and a few more of these beauties. That price is amazing, the packaging is sleek, and holy epic price!!!!! I’d loooooove to find these at my Ulta. They look awesome!!! 😀
