This months essence collection focuses on a ballet vibe, with cute shade names and pops of pale pink colour. I picked up a few key items including the 3 lipglosses and the bronze eye souffle, but somehow managed to miss the gorgeous cheek souffle that is also on offer. Fear not, I managed to nab it once I realised my mistake, and will pop it on the blog soon.
The essence eye souffle in pas des copper is a stunner, no doubt about it. I didn't have high hopes and to be honest bought this for the hell of it, but once I swatched it my expectations grew.
The jar feels nice and sturdy, and I love the font they've chosen to adore the lids of this collection.
A golden shimmery deep brown shade that is far too pretty.

Cute shade names!

Wear Your Litle Tutu is a pale pink that makes my lips look icy. It has silver shimmer running throughout, and is pretty sticky on but less so than a MAC Dazzleglass.
*
On Your Gracile Tiptoe is the coral orange offering from the Ballerina Backstage collection, and also contains shimmer and is quite a sticky formulation.
*
Do A Floating Pirouette is such a pretty purple toned raspberry shade, and is of the same formulation as the other glosses.
I adore the little touches that essence has put into this collection, the lace detail and shoe images on the tubing is a really sweet idea. I personally don't mind having sticky glosses in my collection (I adore Dazzleglasses, though Chris doesn't) so I quite like these. The icy effect of Wear Your Little Tutu is something that surprised me but I am happy to have this in my collection, but I think the real must have from the collection is the pas des copper eye souffle, just an amazing texture and wearable shade.
The prices in this collection sit around the $3-6AUD mark, and are available in Australia from Target stores.
Have you picked up anything from this collection?
What do you think of Essence?
I went to a Target store yesterday and resisted buying ANYTHING from Essence even though I was looking at their Ballerina collection. I think I need to take a closer look at Do a Floating Pirouette and the souffles!
ReplyDeleteOh aren't you controlled! The souffles are amazing, so impressed with the quality. x
DeleteLove On Your gracile Tiptoe! Looks like some great colos in this collection!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a nice coral lip ;P xx
DeleteI picked up the cheek souffle, it is so damn pretty :)
ReplyDeleteTegan that cheek souffle would be stunning on your gorgeous face, you must post it!!
DeleteNice collection! I'll be interested to hear how well the eyeshadow stays on. I always have problems with creamy eyeshadows creasing on me :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Vita! I wore the eyeshadow the other day and no creasing-will put it to the real test soon and let you know:) I was so impressed considering it's a cheap cream prod, but I was wrong!
DeleteI've got the cheek souffle and two of the cream eyeshadows, they're very cute :)
ReplyDeleteThey are so adorable Stacey :) The essence collections just keep getting better and better I think.
DeleteI went to Target and picked up some essence items yesterday too... They have 25% off not that essence isn't cheap enough.
ReplyDeleteI picked up the fix and matte translucent powder to try.
For some reason I smelt the cheek souffle and it smelt horrible. Let me know what you think
Hey Lynette I didn't know they had that sale on, thank you for letting me know! I want to try that mattifying powder...I will sniff my souffle and see how it is, haha but I haven't noticed anything weird yet. xx
DeleteAgree with you about the eye souffle, it's such a great product for the price. The coral lip gloss looks lovely as well :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the feel of the eye souffle :) Coral lip gloss is a great colour but quite sticky, not sure how much I could wear it
