The Essence Ultralast lipsticks are very high quality. They stay on well and do not bleed into the corners of the mouth. They are smooth to wear. There are only about 5 colours to choose from but the colours are good ones. The product is made in Italy. Forget the $40 lipsticks ladies - these are better.

i have 3 different shades from the Essence Longlasting Liptick range and love them all! they're very inexpensive and easy to find in Australia. I've found that all of the lipsticks are highly pigmented and feel smooth on the lips. they do not dry out the skin or irritate me at all. Great alternative to other expensive lipstick brands.

Sick of spending megabucks to find the right lipstick for myself. I have think lips so I need the right shade.
Most lipsticks tend to end up disappearing in the middle and leaving a dark outline which looks silly after 2 or 3 hrs. Finally I have found the right one. Whether you buy the shine or long lasting one, I have tried both and they stay on longer than the others and also don't bleed out to the edge. I am totally hooked. The bonus is that these are only around $4.50 but I would be willing to pay $40 if I had to. How do they do it?
