Since Essence cosmetics arrived in the UK at Wilkinson stores nationwide, there's been a bit of a buzz about them. From what I've tried of the brand, their overall quality is pretty darn good. These are a few of my favourites from what I've tried of the brand.
Essence's mascaras are pretty darn good. I've tried 4 in total so far, and for me, these 3 are pretty stand out. They're £2.30 a piece, and each mascara is in the black colour. Mine are Lashmania - which claims to give a "false lase effect", and it really does. My mum asked me earlier if I was wearing falsies, and this is the mascara I'm wearing today! The I Heart Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara - I like this one, but it's a mascara I'll only wear when I'm wearing quite dramatic eye makeup as it can look a little too much otherwise, but it is quite lovely. Finally, the Get Big Lashes, this is my favourite one for almost every day kind of use. It gives the perfect ratio of volume to length and blackens the lashes really nicely I'd recommend trying an Essence mascara or two if you're in the market for one.
The lip products Essence has to offer are another of my favourite things. Since taking the photos for this post I've also tried their matte and regular XXXL glosses, and they're something I'd really recommend as well! Their lipliners are an absolute steal at £1 a piece, and the texture of them is lovely. They're both creamy and hold well to the lips, and their colour range is really quite nice. Even though they only have subdued, more wearable colours, I'd still recommend purchasing a few of these if you need some liners. Their Lip Glow tinted lip balms are lovely. They offer a pleasant tint of colour on to your lips - they're not exactly moisturising, but they don't dry yours lips out at all, and the packaging is pretty darn cute! Their long-lasting lipsticks are some of the best I've tried, particularly for their price (£2.30!) and the shade 13 Love Me is my absolute favourite daily pink colour. You can't go wrong with the texture of these, either, they're quite emollient, but they're not too slippy at all.
Finally, some things from the All About Matte range. The blotting papers are fairly standard of blotting papers. They just soak up any excess oil from your skin as standard. It's the packaging of these that I like, you pull open the box slightly and just pull the paper that'll be sticking out. It negates the mess that most blotting papers make, because the cardboard packaging doesn't always shut right! These are £2 for 50 sheets, absolute bargain. The All About Matte powder is nice for setting makeup, and for touchups throughout the day. The powder is £3 per pan, and worth absolutely every penny of it.
Essence products are available from Wilko stores and Wilko.com. They're all relatively cheap, with the most expensive product I've seen at £4. Have you tried any Essence products yet, and if so, what are your favourites?
