I was recently sent a whole bunch of products from Essence's Autumn/Winter collection to test out, and I have been enjoying everything, so I thought I should give a quick run down of some of the products that will be soon releasing.
Essence's Autumn/Winter collection provides a wide variety of cosmetics, from eyeshadows, concealers to nail polish. Everything is such great quality, but is so affordable, with the most expensive item in the collection being $8.20 AUD.
Customise Your Own Palette
Essence have created an awesome drugstore option for those that like to buy their eyeshadows in singles. They will now offer the option for you to buy an empty 4 colour palette, and 20 different eyeshadow colours, which will be sold individually. This allows you to custom make your own palette, with colours that totally suit you. I received three of these shadows, and I was totally impressed with the quality. They are very pigmented, blend well, and come in the most gorgeous shades!
Volume Stylist 18H Lash Extension Mascara
This is one of the best drugstore mascaras I have ever tried! It gives my lashes so much volume and length, and lasts all day without smudging, flaking or transferring.
I Love Colour Intensifying Eyeshadow Base
Eyeshadow primers are great for improving the wear of your eyeshadows, but most are really expensive. This affordable option helps the eyeshadows I apply on top not only appear more intense and pigmented, but also helps them stay longer and without creasing.
This palette provides 5 different colour correcting shades to tackle and disguise redness, darkness, and mattify the skin. These are surprisingly easy to apply and blend in, while still having enough coverage to make a difference. This palette is one of the better concealer palettes I have found in the drugstore for a while.
Camouflage Full Coverage Concealer
I have been loving this concealer lately as it looks so lovely on the skin; so natural and doesn't crease under the eyes, even without setting it! I use this under my eyes and on blemishes, and I can't say enough good things about it!
Luminous Matt Bronzing Powder
Firstly, the embossing on this bronzer is so gorgeous, I didn't want to use it at first! This bronzer is easy to blend on the skin, and leaves the skin with a sun kissed glow. I love this for my pale skin as it isn't orange in the slightest, and is a change from the matte bronzers I typically reach for.
Shine Shine Shine Lip Glosses
These glosses leave a wet looking sheen on lips, and are available in the cutest shades. I received two sparkly glosses, which are non sticky and hydrating on the lips, and great as a lipstick topper. I need to pick up some nude shades.
Nail Polishes
Essence is releasing two new types of nail polishes, in a modest range of on trend shades. Their Colour Boost High Pigment Nail Paint gives an opaque smooth finish with just one coat, while their Glow and Care Luminous Nail Polish contains kukui oil to strengthen and protect the surface of your nails. At $3.70 each, these are a great option for those looking for a new polish to add to their collection.
