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:
- Adorable (10)
- Babydoll (20)
- Life’s a Cherry (60)
- Autumn Peach (80)
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:
- Volume √
- Holds the curl √
- No fall-outs nor flakes √
- Smudge proof √
- No clumps √
- Ophthalmologically approved √
- Affordable √
- Lengthening – OK (not a show-stopping-length but not disappointing)
- Waterproof – No – (but it stays on really really well and very easy to remove)
- Great for an everyday look √
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:
- Waterproof √ (literally WATERproof)
- SMUDGE PROOF √ (Smudge proof on WATER or on dry surface of your skin)
- Affordable √
- Good for OILY EYELID
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.
If you want to know more about essence Cosmetics click HERE, reading their story is very uplifting and it makes want to support them even more.
Any eyeliner recommendation guys?
I love the range of colors that they have, the formulation looks really good too and the packaging is just elegant. That made me so excited to buy them (aside from the price of course), now I cannot wait to try them very soon.
The wand looks really tiny and seemed like it can’t even give you volume or length, but hey! don’t get fooled by it because this tiny wand is AWESOME! I love how it makes my lashes look long, black and with more volume. This mascara stays on and keeps the curl really well for a long time. It doesn’t flake and didn’t irritate my eyes too. Great for top and bottom lashes. I love this!
