I picked the shade "Get The Look" up at Farmers recently because I wanted to try a pale pink but didn't want to spend a lot on it incase I didn't like it.
As a lipstick it is creamy but not particularly long lasting. Like a lot of cheap lipsticks it also has a bit of an unpleasant taste on the lips. However its quality does feel like a more expensive lipstick in terms of things like how creamy it is.
The shade I got is very pale, however I've discovered that allows it to be very versatile. Mix it with a bright matte pink and you can create a great MAC dupe and a barbie pink that lasts nearly all day.
I'm planning to get all the shades I would like to try but aren't really sure are my shade from this range and just have fun playing with different colours.
In terms of packaging, the plastic is relatively cheap, but the line of colour they use does exactly match the lipstick bullet as promised.
Also note at Farmers they are $5.40.
I love essence so much. Their lipsticks are by far my favourites. They are very inexpensive and worth it! There are tons of colours to choose from and more to come too. I recently bought new shades from the latest collection. They are very pigmented and they are very long lasting. The packaging is really pretty. They are very easy to apply and the texture is really nice and soft. I can't wait for my collection of these lipsticks to grow even more!
Tips: I use a lip base/primer so that the colour comes out more and so that it stays on longer. After I apply my lipstick I blot my lips and apply translucent powder to my lips then apply another coat of lipstick. This also ensures that it doesn't wear off. Lip liner can be very helpful too :)
