Essence New Products

Essence is always bringing out new products all the time. It has been featured several times here on my blog and as you know it is a very affordable brand. A few weeks ago I was sent some new makeup products to tryout and review. I had to giveaway some products as they were super light for my skin tone. Anyways , below is my take on the products.

I need a miracle mascara

I am quite liking this mascara. It is quite natural but it gives length and volume at the same time. I do not think it is water proof but it did not smear or smudge throughout the day so it is somewhat long lasting.

Mattifying + pore minimizing Primer 

This primer has black clay which is what makes is Mattifying. It has a light almost creamy gel consistency which I do really like. It doesn't have that slippery texture and I find that it goes really well under my usual foundations.

Too Glam to give a Damn palette

I have actually tried all the shades in this palette. The photos do not do it justice as some of the shades are really gorgeous. I really love the golden shade on the left and the purple and green above it. The shades are a mixture of mattes and satins and metallic/shimmery shades. I expected some shades to be of better pay off like the pink one on the left. But on the whole the palette is quite good. The shade on the far right is like a golden peach shade which is your highlighter and it is a really good one!

Go for the Glow palette 02 the warms

This is a highlighting palette with 3 shades - one being a golden shade, the middle one is like a duochrome pink and the one on the right is like a soft pink colour. I am particularly drawn to the far left shade (see below) as I tend to prefer golden/peachy shades rather than pink shades. All the shades are quite pigmented and metallic almost too. 

Colour Boost in 04 mad matters and Melted Chrome in 03 copper dropper

Talking about good liquid lipticks with a very good price! The Colour Boost range is honestly a very good liquid lipstick. It is super matte and super pigmented. It tends to be a little bit drying, as all liquid lipsticks tend to be. However, it is transfer proof and lasts for quiet a number of hours.

I am not a big fan of the Melted Chrome. Although it is very pigmented and it looks gorgeous, however, when applied on top of a lip product it tends to be a bit overpowering. You should apply it with a very light hand and at the centre of the lips to create a subtle metallic effect. I am not a fan of using it alone.

Have you tried anything from the above?
