Once again, please know that this video is not to brag or to show off. I just really like watching other “Haul” videos too, so I thought I’d share one.
ESSENCE WAS STARTED IN 2001 BY CHRISTINA, A FEARLESS ENTREPRENEURIAL WOMAN, WHO WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENT COSMETICS BRAND – A REALLY FUN BRAND THAT OFFERS BOTH GREAT QUALITY AND EXCELLENT PRICES.
I’m sure it’s not new to you that I love me my essence LashMania mascara and the essence Silky Touch blush too! So I had to explore and found a few more. (Isn’t that a rhyme? HAHA)
“Soft as silk! The Silky Touch Blush has an ultra silky texture that blends evenly and easily. Add a touch of natural freshness and radiance to your complexion. Available in four glowing shades”
I am in-love with this essence SILKY TOUCH BLUSH not just because of it’s affordability ($2.99), but because of its formulation. From the name itself Silky Touch, this blush is very soft, highly pigmented and super smooth. With just a tiny product on the tip of your blush brush, you will definitely have a naturally glowing cheeks.
Shades:
It’s unfortunate that my favorite essence LashMania mascara might have been discontinued. I had to search the web and found this site indianproductsonnet that sells essence LashMania mascara for $21.95 each?!? aahhmm no thanks!! LOL
I found the ALL EYES ON ME MASCARA with high hopes. It cost me $2.99 at Target as well as on their site.
The brush is very different from what I’m used to. It has a short brush, tiny and thin. This makes it easier to reach those bottom lashes, buildable and applies smoothly. I’ve tried this a few times and so far I’m impressed!
VERDICT:
Eyeliner?!? I am still looking for the perfect eyeliner that is WATERPROOF, SMUDGE PROOF and AFFORDABLE too!
This EASY 2 USE JUMBO EYELINER has a large tapered felt tip which is great for your ideal cat-eye look.
You can do a thin or thick line on your lid depending on your mood.
VERDICT:
Would I recommend this EASY 2 USE JUMBO EYELINER? If you have an oily eyelid like me, I will never recommend this at all. This eyeliner melted on my lid on my first application and with one swipe, it vanished. I have read mixed reviews on this eyeliner and majority of the reviews are 
. BUT! If you don’t have an oily eyelid then you might want to give this a try. I washed my hand after I swatched this and it stayed on like a glue! (I will share a quick video on Instagram showing this eyeliner on my hand)
To sum it all, I still love the essence Silky Touch Blush and the All Eyes On Me Mascara. Essence Cosmetics are not tested on animals, majority of their products are made in Europe with a very high quality in a super affordable price.

Any eyeliner recommendation guys?
A few weeks back I thought why not do a “$20 Makeup Haul Tag” so I decided to tweet about it and luckily, one of our WordPress buddies Stash Matters (Thanks Stashy) wanted to do this tag with me or else, I will be doing a Makeup Haul Tag all by myself.. HAHA is that even possible??😂
Anyway, I am so excited to share with you what I bought with my $20 dollars (tax excluded) mainly makeup products no skincare or etc. Fortunately, I received an awesome deals from CVS Pharmacy which made my purchases even more exciting!
So without further adieu let’s begin.
Oh how I love to say this words… and I hope you had a wonderful Holiday too because I had an awesome one. 🙂
Every year, my husband asks me to create a wishlist (5 items) for Christmas and rank them from 1-5 (5 is the least) but this year, I couldn’t think of 5 items that I wanted because I’m so confused and I admit, I am very indecisive when it comes to things for myself. So he ended up buying me presents without my list. 😦
If you followed me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen a quick snap of what I got last Christmas day.
I love watching youtube videos and other blogposts about what other people received on Christmas day or on their Birthday and I thought I would share too. Please know that this is not to brag or anything but I am just sooo happy and excited with the things that I got and I felt so blessed to have them. All of the things that I got are from my husband except for one.
Now, let’s start!
The very first item I got is the La Prairie Midnight Rain Eau de Parfum Spray and if you’ve followed me since day 1 you should see a post about this perfume Is it the scent or the bottle?? it’s been a year of having this on my wishlist but hey! it’s worth the wait. I am sooo happy when I got this.. ❤
The next gift that my hubby handed me is this Too FacedThe Chocolate Bar Eye Palette. I never really thought that my hubby listens when I talk especially about makeup (LOL) but I guess I was wrong. I now finally have Too FacedThe Chocolate Bar Eye Palette and I LOVE IT! As you noticed, I couldn’t help myself but feel the eyeshadow and I can’t wait to use this palette. 🙂
This next item is from my brother-in-law and soon to be sister-in-law and OMG!!! I’m so happy and I don’t know how to describe this beauty! I never thought I will have this palette this soon. ❤ NARS Nars Steven Klein Collaboration One Shocking Moment Cheek Palette is a must have in your collection.
OK… OK!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW THIS NEXT ONE. I guess there’s no introduction needed.
OMG! OMG! OMG! never in my wildest dreams that I will have my own Macbook Air. I felt like this is just a “want” and not “need” so I never really asked for it but hubby said he knew that deep inside I really really want one ever since and so he got me this. I LOVE IT! I couldn’t ask for anything else and I couldn’t contain myself when I opened this present and it brought me to tears (not too much though) but yeah, I was teary eyed.😳😭
And who said that this is it?
There’s one more! Or this is what we call Bonus?
YES! Maroon 5 concert tickets….. I CaNnOT wait to watch them live.. 😱😱
And last but not the least, I also got myself a gift from my own pocket. HAHA. Can I still tell you another long story? A week before Christmas, we went to New York City for a few days, I went inside ZARA at 6th Ave. and saw this bag. But I thought I would check the other ZARA stores as to maybe they might have another bag that I might like, but I ended up leaving with nothing. So I ended up going back to the first store but it’s GONE!!!! I picked up my phone and bought it online instead. It actually worked out best so we didn’t have to carry a lot of stuff going back home AND way better than the one in store coz no one touched it but me??hehe✌🏻️
Yeah..that’s it! I guess not giving my hubby my top 5 Christmas list is better huh?!?☺️😍
To end this post, I am just so Blessed and So Thankful for everything. With or without these presents, I am still very happy because I have my hubby, my family and friends and of course you guys for the continuing support in this blog world.😘
Thank you for dropping by.
Happy Holidays and OH! Advance Happy New Year!!!🎉
