Review: Essence Longlasting Lipstick in 'On The Catwalk!'

Essence is a brand I find myself constantly reaching for while at the drugstore. This is mainly because most of the products I've tried from this brand are good and very affordable. I absolutely adore the Essence longlasting lipsticks and the shade I most recently got is On The Catwalk!

The product comes in a matte black tube which I personally think makes it look a bit more expensive than it actually is. These lipsticks are available in a range of colours from nudes to reds which means you'd probably be able to find one that suits you. The lipstick is creamy and applies smoothly on the lips. It feels quite moisturizing and I find that it doesn't dry up your lips during the time of wear. On The Catwalk is a gorgeous brick red colour which I think is a much easier colour to wear than bright red for an everyday look. I have been reaching for this shade a lot lately and find that it goes well with most of my outfits.

The only thing that I feel is a bit of a minus for this lipstick is the staying power. Even though it says longlasting lipstick, it actually lasts just a few hours. I find it ok for days when I'm just going for spanish lessons or running a few errands, but if you're going to wear it all day or eat something while wearing this lipstick, you'll have to reapply a few times. But honestly, for this price and pigmentation, I love it and I really don't mind reapplying.

Overall Summary

Price - approx. €2.40.

Likes - applies smoothly, pigmented.

Dislikes - isn't longlasting.
Verdict - Purchasing more shades.
Available - Drugstores e.g DRUNI {Spain}.
