Essence Products Review and color swatches . All the Nudes :) & the Gel nail polish.

After the last few excited weeks of playing around with the Lovely Essence products i have now finally almost finished with them, here are my thoughts on the following products 🙂

To start off with the i love Nude range of eye shadows , they are so lovely and soft to the touch and apply well, the two Nude colors i tried worked well for a nice basic winter nude look and are also great for mixing with colors to spice it up a bit. some of the shades i found were so close to my own skin tone that i couldn’t notice that i was wearing it but this is great if you want a nice wear it to work minimal look for the day. They lasted well on my eyes and made the day 🙂 so hip hip hooray!!

In order from Left to right in the pictures the colors are , 03 Creme Brulee , 05 My favorite touping , &15 Hazel me not (soft touch long wear)

Next up is the i love Nude lip items i tried out, i tested two of the long lasting lipsticks, one darker and one light as well as a Xxxl lip gloss in a Nude.  The lipstick wears well but i found the Lighter color (01 wear only a smile) to be a bit pasty on my lips and it also showed my dry lip skin and i would suggest if you want to wear this that you first exfoliate the lips cause it really does show up everything , it worked a bit better when combined with the Lip gloss! The darker shade lipstick in 03 come naturally was a lot more up my alley and wears very well! They do match well with the whole nude look 🙂 And the Xxxl Lip gloss is very glossy, like very glossy lol. not really something im in to cause its a bit too sticky for me but it does give the lips good volume and they stand out wonderfully with shine! but like i say its just too sticky for me!

Lipgloss and Lipstick colors left to right . Xxxl Gloss 01 shy beauty,  Long lasting Lipstick in 03 come naturally ! And Long Lasting lipstick 01 wearing only a smile.

Then by now i am sure you all know how much iv been enjoying the latest Essence nail range and the Gel nail polish! They are just so fantastic! long lasting and the colors are great. I also loved the Nude ones as well as the very fun Matt top coat that gives a lovely effect when combined with the shiny gloss look! you can read my previous nails post to check out more about the colors .

Then Lastly i have the Lash Princess false lash effect Mascara, this one i was actually rather impressed with! it gives very long thick black false lash looking lashes so that’s a great budget buy if you are trying to get that Effect!! Also i tried the silky touch blush, its very lovely, feels so soft on skin and the peachy pink ish color works well and blends easily! definitely worth a try and all these products are very affordable!

Worth going out and buying some, great budget buys and you can get a good few items for your money, most of the products range from R30 to R100 and are good quality!

My Essence all About Nudes review and Pics for a nice winter look .

Iv done two weeks worth of Trying out the latest Essence i love Nudes range i got and iv loved every minute of it!

here is a little look i did with a more lighter nude color and it really does look nice, it remind me of cold frosty , snow on the mountain winter days that are crispy and fresh. the light nudes stand out great on the eyes and lips and really is very nice for brightening up the face!! i took a few pics so you can see.

the Essence range is super cool for the price of it as all the items i used ranged between R50 to R80 and are available at dischem and clicks. the texture of the Nude eye shadow singles is very soft powdery feel and they apply nicely , i found its best to smudge a layer of color and then tap a second layer over to get the color going nicely , i think as they are natural nude shades it takes a bit for them to show up on skin.

the Essence Nude lipsticks come in darker and lighter nudes in a longwear , i used a lighter one shade “01 wearing only a smile” in my photos as it stands out more and i did a touch of the Xxxl lip gloss but im not fond of it as it is too sticky so i would limit over doing it with that.

its a very natural look and i find its nice to mix with a bright lip color cause then it really brings out the lips perfectly if you want attention to be on them or want to match your lip color to your shirt or scarf for the day. works wonderfully!!

This look also goes Fantastic with lash definition as the lashes stand out in front of the color so if you want attention on your lashes then nudes are the way to go!! the Essence lash princess mascara with false lash effect worked well. you can pair it with a colored eye liner on the lids for a touch of color or to maybe go with outfit or lips. so dont think your limited stuck with the completely white look of it.

For the price you can really go out and get yourself the whole range to play around with and it is nice for winter now!! try them out and let me know what you think 🙂
