essence…NOT the Magazine!

Sometime this year my local ULTA began carrying UK beauty brand essence which turned out to be a match made in heaven! At first glance you may think its for the teeny boppers, but when you try the products you soon find out its nowhere near it. I also love the price points for this beauty line which has its most expensive item at $3.99…scoooooore!

I have tried a few of their products and figured it was time to share the wealth. I’ve found a favorite mascara and 2…yes 2 eyeliners.

essence – liquid eyeliner…waterproof: this product is great. It has a brush (not felt) tip which I prefer as it gives you a precise line. Its also a matte black!…which I love most of the time. I did not have any problem with cracking or smudging like other liquid liners. Price $2.79!

essence – eyeliner pen: I was skeptical about this product since I had a bad experience with a pen liner before. Being that it was so inexpensive I figured that I could splurge a little to try this out and boy am I happy I did! This is a great “marker”, it didn’t tug at my eye or dry out halfway through lining. This is also smudge proof and dries quickly…which allows you to quickly complete your makeup process! It does have a slight gloss though nothing over the top. Price $2.49!

essence – maximum definition volume mascara: this is a great mascara that really separates lashes and adds volume. Its not clumpy like some cheaper products…which is a MUST. Price $3.99!

I will do another post once I pick up more products which I plan to do ASAP! Be sure to leave me a comment if you pick any of these products up.

Love and hugs,

now that i'm actually wearing makeup i'm finding products that i absolutely LOVE! I used to be a MAC only girl but then i grew up and gained responsibilities, which actually worked out for me because i've had the chance to try multiple brands. the following products have made it onto my favorites list this month.

essence extreme definition mascara - i bought this some time ago because i needed to buy something to use my ULTA coupon...little did i know it would turn out to be a jewel. i normally use this as my 2nd or 3rd coat to really separate my lashes. it retails for 2.99 at your local ULTA.

rimmel super great lash mascara - this was another mascara that i stumbled upon at my local Target. i almost went with Sexy Curves but being the frugal person i am i decided to try the cheaper mascara and again i'm happy i did!

i'm lovin' the new Wet n' Wild Coloricon palettes. i can't believe the quality of this drugstore line. i remember when Wet n' Wild used to be the crappy .99 makeup you bought in high school. that is definitely not the case with these new shadows. i originally bought Vanity and Lust but bought Greed and Pride on bogo.  these shadows are very pigmented, blend well and versatile. i've been able to do natural and bold looks...i love it!

L-R: Greed, Lust, Vanity, Pride

whelp...as this post comes to an end i hope i've been able to give some of you insight into a few products. i really hope you try some of them and that you love them as well.

happy reading,
