Essence Makeup Review & Swatches

Hey everyone! I have been hearing about Essence Makeup for quite some time now and I wanted to share with you my thoughts as well as some swatches of 3 different makeup products by them! I have seen Essence at Shoppers Drug Mart and Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS) for all you Canadian shoppers. You can of course purchase them online on their web site or at Walgreens and   Ulta if you live in the USA. If you live in Europe, check out their European web site. 

Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder - $4.99 CAD

I have very oily skin and I am instantly drawn to any product that claims to help mattify my skin. This along with all their other products, are very affordable and this powder was very soft. You have to be careful not too apply too much because this can leave a white cast if you overdo it and can make you look cakey! 

Essence Sun Club All-in-One Bronzing Highlighter #01 Sun Light - $4.50 - $5.99 CAD (Approximately) 

This claims to be for blondes and lighter skin. I am very fair right now and although I am not blonde, I can still get away with wearing this. It also mentions that it is for: eyes, face and body. The shades are quite pigmented and you can use a smaller brush if you want to be more precise when using just one colour, or you can take a fluffy brush to get a mixture of all the shades!

Essence Longlasting Lipstick in #10 Cotton Candy - $2.50 - $2.99 CAD (Approximately)

When I swatched it, I noticed that it was rather creamy, it was pigmented and it had a typical lipstick smell to it (which I do not mind.) This is a fun shade for the Spring and Summer which I will definitely get much wear out of!

I have a friend that loves their Express Dry Drops ($2.99 - $3.99 CAD - approximately) and I have seen her use them in front of me. They make such a difference and they are great for when you are in a rush or when you need your nails to dry very quickly. They do work and I want to pick up a bottle of this next time I visit the drugstore! I also heard that their I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base is great and doesn't crease!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
