Essence favorites

Purple Star emoji 12 items
These are my personal favorites from Essence cosmetics. It is one of the cheapest brands you can find at the drugstore. I must admit, the shade range for most of the products is not impressive, but if you can find your shade, try them. If you are int...

Complexion products

When it comes to Essence complexion products, they definitely have some hits and some misses. This products worked for me, as i wore them as everyday makeup.

I really enjoy this foundation. I like to wear it when I know I will be out for 3-4 hours because if you don't set it properly it tends to break for longer wear.  It feels light on the skin. Gives a natural finish and glow, and medium coverage. 
Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation – Essence cosmetics

Comparing the price and the product, this one is a banger. I like to use it directly under the eyes, with a brush, sponge, powder puff, or whatever suits you the best. I would only recommend, using a smaller amount of powder, because it can dry your ...

If you are an oily type of girl, this will matte you down. Good powder for touch-ups. Go with a lighter amount first, because if you put too much, your face will look like a desert. Would not recommend it for under eyes.

Some people like it, and some don't. I really do enjoy it. I have mine in the shade 70\believing, and I adore it on winter days. It lasts, it's blendable, never had a problem using it.

I highly recommend this bronzer for those who can find the two shades they have work for them. It is scented but I don't mind it. It's not overwhelmingly scented. Smells like coconut. This is a subtle bronzer, buildable and gorgeous on the skin.

Beautiful lipsticks! They last me a long time before I have to touch up, and feel comfortable on the skin. Have a beautiful finish, and one of my favorite nudes is from this line. It is in the shade honey-stly 402.

If I tell you I have every single shade Essence ever made from this line, would you believe how much I love them and how great they are? This lipstick is comfortable and so nice on the lips, I personally can't even feel I am wearing it. Beautiful sem...

If you are looking for mascara on a budget that will give you volume, this is a nice choice. Wears nice throughout the day, doesn't smudge under the eyes. It's simple, it is a nice mascara for 5$.

This whole line of mini makeup palettes is great! This one is my favorite for every day, I used it a lot, and again you have some nice shimmer options if you want to spice up your look. Don't get me wrong, they are not Natasha Denona quality, but for...

In the Drugstore range of products, great Kajal pencils, I only use them on my everyday makeup, because they are 2$ and last me throughout the day. They are creamy and pigmented and they don't irritate my eyes. I use them on my waterline and for my e...

Again, a good and cheap product. The tip is small and precise, the pencil is pigmented, reminds me of Catrice Slimmatic Brow Pencil. Doesn't smudge, is long-lasting, and 3$!!!
Micro Precise Eyebrow Pencil - Essence

In my opinion, this is one of the best styling soaps you can find on the market, drugstore, or high-end. I have very stubborn brows, and a lot of products didn't work for me, including ABH Brow Freeze, and this one did. I think it's best to use it fo...
