I bought a couple of lipliners from the Longlasting Lipliner range from Essence randomly when I was in Lanzarote. And I liked them so much and they are so cheap (I think they cost €1.80) I had to pick up another couple when I got back. Essence have more colour choices in these. I just have four of them here to show you today. I reckon I’ll end up with all of them at some point though 🙂
They are mechanical lipliners in plastic very durable packaging (especially considering how much they cost).
The pencil itself is soft, pigmented and applies really smoothly. I would say they wear well, but they do wear. You’ll be left with a stain to your lips after eating and drinking rather than full on colour. Of course, if you use them under lipstick or lipgloss they will definitely help the longevity of them.
The four colours I have (so far) are:
06 ‘A Girl’s Dream’
To me this is a dark pink with a red undertone.
03’Yummy Berry’.
This is a deep raspberry pink.
02 ‘Sweetheart’.
Is a brighter pink but with a more nude undertone (I think this my favourite of the four I have).
Then finally 04 ‘Peach Beauty’.
An orangey peach shade.
The colour range of these Essence Longlasting Lipliners are really great too. Very logical shades that work for everyday use on their own and also to use under other lip products you already may have. You can see all the shade choices on the Essence website here
Essence Cosmetics are available nationwide. I got the Longlasting Lipliners in Penneys, but there are so many independent pharmacies all over Ireland now stocking the brand which is brilliant. They are really doing a good job of making great makeup with lots of products to choose from and for an amazing price point. I reviewed so many Essence products in 2015 and they come out with new lines all the time so I am sure I will be reviewing lots more in 2016.
Let me know what you think?
And thanks for reading, as always 🙂
