Review: Essence Longlasting Lipstick 01 Coral Calling

Hi guys!

Part of Essence's new permanent line is a new lipstick line in a black packaging. The line is called Longlasting Lipstick, and the color I have to show you is called 01 Coral Calling.

Information:

• Essence Longlasting Lipstick 01 Coral Calling
• part of the permanent line since August 2013
• costs 2,29 Euros
• shade is a coral pink shade
• has a sweet scent
• contains no shimmer particles whatsoever

Positives:

• price
• availability
• nice shade
• easy to apply
• creamy texture
• no shimmer particles, but still has a nice sheen to it, it's not matte
• doesn't dry out my lips

Negatives:

• requires reapplication after some time, doesn't last too long due to the creamy formula
• the scent might be too strong

I really like the color of this lipstick, but when I looked into my collection I realized I already own a couple of similar shades. In the comparison pictures you can see

• Alterra's Caring Lipstick in 06 Coral, which is a bit darker
• Catrice's Oceana LE Lipstick in C01 Ocean Sunrise, which is pinker
• Astor's Lipcolor Butter in 011 Feeling Feline, which is brighter but the closest match

I do really like this lipstick, it's quality might not be that outstanding, but for the price it's a great product!

Has anyone of you tried this lipstick?

xoxo, Misch
