REVIEW: Essence Long Lasting Lipsticks

Essence is a brand that has me extremely curious for the longest time. I have read countless beauty blogs that offered rave reviews on the brand and from what I gathered, the price point is much lower than NYX. It got me wondering if that is even possible? Can anything that cheap be that good?

I received these 2 lipsticks in my beauty swap with Amy (read here) and I was so happy to finally get the chance to try it. I did recently notice Essence is available here in Shoppers, no idea why I didn't notice it earlier but nevertheless, let's talk about these babies. And oh yes, they are good.
