Essence LONGLASTING LIPSTICKS Reviews + Swatches!!!

Hi Beauties! I'm back with more Essence lipsticks reviews! I'm sure most girls love lipsticks don't we? I have so many Essence lipsticks collected over 2 years, I think its time I do a small review and SWATCHES for you girls! I'm sorry if I did not include any plum because I hardly wear plum colours, and at that point in time when I am purchasing them, they ran out of some colours already. These are what I currently have in my collection. Note: I have duplicate of colour number 13, as I love it so so much, I went to get a backup before they discontinued the colour in Singapore ( Which they did this year ). Here is what I've got:

Sorry for some messy swatches, the darker colours are a bit hard to apply haha. As you can see, colour 03 and 12 looks like it has been manipulated, and Yes indeed, I have cut some of it away to make my blend of lipstick colour. But number 07 looks really tiny because I have USED it so much that it has become so small. Its the first colour of the range that I bought. At that point in time i just wanted to try out lipsticks to find the best colour for me. 

Anyway, back to the review :)

I LOVE this range even more than the Creamy lipsticks range because these are so glossy on the lips (Atleast for the first 2 hours). They are also quite long lasting, it lasted me about 5 hours before it began to fade. Most of all, I love the colours they have in here! They are also very pigmented and there is also a level of permeability that it does not make me look all caked up with makeup. I always love a hint of translucency in my lipsticks as I feel I look younger with such lipsticks.

A little negative thing which is applicable to most, if not all lipsticks are that they do bunch up (inside the lips) a very slight bit after many hours of wear. I wont deduct my rating on this aspect because i noticed this element in ALL other lipsticks in ALL other brands that I've tried. 

Overall rating: 5/5 (LOVE THEM!)

Price: SGD $4.90 at Watsons and Guardian ( You just can't beat the price for the quality )
