I've reviewed the Essence long lasting lipstick in "07 natural beauty" (review here) quite a while ago, so I already new that I liked this lipstick formula. So I decided to get a few more Shades. 02 Glastonberry is a limited edition from the Love & Sound Collection, wich is currently still available on Kosmetik4less.de (ships internationally). 03 come naturally and 05 cool nude are from the Nude collection, wich is a permanent Collection within the long lasting lipstick range.

These may seem quite similar in the swatches, but I think they are different enough for me to actually be pretty happy about having them all. I love these types og greige mauvey nudes. And I love this buttery smooth formula. I definately think they are all worth checking out, if you are into these types of Shades. There are also some even lighter beige nudes, wich I don't plan on getting, and some reds, pinks and berry Shades as well. So I definately will be getting more colors.
I've done some swatches on mah face, so you can see how each color looks on me and how they are different from eachother.
My favorites has to be Glastonberry and come naturally, but I also really like the other shades. I would wear each of these shades as my everyday lipstick color and I often do. I may have to get myself a backup of Glastonberry before it's gone, although I'm not really a big believer of backups.
I love these lipsticks, and I love that Essence came out with a nude lipstick Collection, with some pretty modern takes on the nude lip. These are the types of colors you would find in high end brands, so I'm really really pleased with them and I hope Essence will continue expanding this line.
