l-r: 11 Nude Love /06 Barely There! /07 Natural Beauty /01 Coral Calling /03 Dare to Wear 

Lipsticks... those pretty bottles that claim to be loved and used and abused! Ah! One of my guilty pleasures I may admit! 

No matter the season nor the outfit, Essence has a colour for every and any girl out there on a total of 15 shades! The Long Lasting range came out a couple years ago and since then I've been collecting some! 

Retailing at 2,89€ in Portugal, how can I resist them? Great pigmentation (as you can see), creamy consistency, semi-matte finish, lasting power on the 4/5 hour mark (depending if you eat/drink), do I need more qualities to convince you to try them? Have I mentioned they're comfortable on the lips? I use them a lot on a daily basis.

At the moment I only have 5 shades from nudes to reds but I'm planing on getting more! My favorite one for this season is 06 Barely There! Which is the perfect brown/nude that goes well with everything!

But! And here comes the but, my favorite Spring shade is 01 Coral Calling, that I used a lot last year! Since we're all excitingly waiting for Spring I decided to give away one of the Essence Long Lasting lipsticks in 01 Coral Calling so you have the chance to try it!
