essence trend edition ‘denim wanted’!

I can’t believe but this collection came to our drugstores on time! Usually they are quite late, like for a month or so. :D I like few things, but not that much to purchase them, if you get me. :)

Check out some photos!

essence ‘into the wild’ jumbo eye pencil #02 Zulu

Do you remember essence ‘into the wild’ collection? More than a month ago I noticed this collection in my local drugstore, and as I guessed previously, this is the only item from this collection that I *really* liked. The rest of the collection wasn’t really something, at least for me – e/s seem poor in quality, I didn’t like the nail polish colors (at least the ones I had the chance to see in person) and the shimmer was too dark for my skin tone.

I won’t write a long and detailed review on this one because this collection isn’t available anymore, but I just wanted to share with you my thrill about it! It’s a gorgeous neutral satin brownish shade which looks perfect! It has some teeny tiny particles in it, but these aren’t visible. Unfortunately, my swatches aren’t that great, they don’t show how beautiful it truly is, but you have to trust me on this one. :D

Did you get anything from this collection* What did you liked the most?

essence ‘the twilight saga eclipse collection’!

essence the twilight saga eclipse collection

I know this collection isn’t probably available anymore, but since I got this package this morning I just had to share it with you! I won this package  on another blog (Croatian) and though I didn’t win it initially, essence decided to reward other participants for their effort so, I got it! I already showed how I participated in that competition, but in case you’ve missed my post, you can check it out here – link.

So, to make the long story short – after seeing this collection in person and trying it, I have to say I’m so delighted with it! I was really surprised ewith the eyeshadows which seems to be much more improved than some other essence eyeshadows.

Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the *whole* collection – 2 nail polishes and lip glosses weren’t in the package, but I have all nail polishes because I got 3 of them previously thanks to Biba, and I don’t really care about lip glosses because pink isn’t my thing. :D So, I’m fine. :)

Of course, I took so many detailed photos and swatches so you can check those out if you keep reading this post! I hope you’ll like it as much as I did. :)

Beauty review: essence nail art nail polish remover ultra

Few months ago, in my local drugstore Muller I noticed this nail polish remover and I think it was a new one at the time (or maybe it wasn’t but I haven’t noticed it earlier) so I decided to try it since nail polish removers are something I spend really quickly.

To make the long story short, I’m quite pleased with it, especially with how well it removes darker shades without coloring my fingers! :D And I always had that problem with other nail polish removers (the ones I tried so far). It’s acetone-free. The packaging is simple and nice, with a screwing cap. It has a larger hole so I have to be careful when using it if I don’t want to spill it all over. :) The scent is really strong, but I like nail polish remover scents. Unfortunately, my dad didn’t, he was allergic to it. :D The only bad thing about it is that it dries the skin around the nails so I really have to nourish my hands. It’s not *that* drying, but just to warn you in case you wanna try this product. :)

I’m not so sure about the price, I know it’s somewhere around $2 or $3, but I think it’s probably $2. For that price you get 150 ml (5 fl.oz.).

Have you tried any essence nail polish remover? How was it if you have? :)

My essence collection!

This weekend I didn’t post anything because I was on a short trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and yesterday I did some crafts so decided not to post at all until Monday.

Last week, another Croatian beauty blog had a giveaway with essence products so for that opportunity I took photos of my essence collection, and though I didn’t win anything, I’m showing it to you now. It would be a shame not to show it. :D

I think you’ll get the idea about which products I prefer and with time, this collection grew. What does your essence makeup collection looks like?

All together

NOTD: essence ‘eclipse collection’ #01 Undead?

Of course I had to try this shade first and I have to say I’m loving it! I had no problem with applying it, the formula was just fine, you need to coats to get opaque color, and the shimmer looks gorgeous in the sunlight! This is definitely one of my favorite essence nail polishes!

I also tried essie matte about you top coat with it and though it doesn’t look promising in my photo, I like how it looks in person – definitely it looks much prettier than here.

Which version do you prefer more?

(2 coats)

essence ‘the twilight saga eclipse collection’!

Few weeks ago this collection arrived to Croatia, but I missed it so Barbara from Biba’s Beauty Corner offered me to send me these 3 nail polishes I really wanted, and with them, she also send me this red lip gloss!

I was so excited when I discovered her package in my mail this morning and can’t wait to try everything and you can expect my swatches really soon!

Have you got something from this collection? If yes – what? :)

Here are my photos. all together in the first picture, and after that you can see each item. :)

NOTD: essence crazy about colours #03 crazy me nail polish

The last few days I’m wearing this greenish nail polish called #03 crazy me from essence ‘crazy about colours’ collection! Though I love this shade, I have to say I’m not really thrilled with its application – the formula is thinner, and the brush is just not even worth mentioning. :( You’ll see on my photos those tiny bubbles that appeared after I applied it and that I *really* hate! But, since I do like the color I’ll try to apply it with another brush. :)

How do you like this shade? :)

indoor light, 2 coats

Beauty review: essence sun club all over shimmer for eyes, face & body

essence sun club all over shimmer for eyes, face & body#01 ibiza sun shade

Essence Sun Club product line is separate permanent product line for summer period and tanned skin. :) One of those products is this all over shimmer which is available in 2 different shades: lighter and darker shade. I also tried sun club lipgloss but will review that later.

Since my skin is lighter, I have the lighter shade called ‘blondes – lighter skin’ and when my skin gets some tan I find this product to be perfect during summer time! The thing that really gets me about this product is how highly pigmented it is but it can be applied softly so it looks natural and not dirty. I think the most used tripe out of these five is the lighter one which I find perfect to be used as a highlighter, and of course, I apply it with my fingers since blush brush isn’t going to work for only one stripe.  The packaging is really nice, non-typical essence packaging because it’s so solid which surprises me, but I have to say that essence improved their packaging lately.  This shimmer is long-lasting, especially if we consider HOT summer weather! I use this shimmer alone and over another blush to get different look. :)

I don’t remember how much this shimmer cost, but I think it is approx. $4-$5 which really isn’t much for such product and since it is also wuite large – it contains 8 g. Anyway, this product is really nice, cheap so I think it’s worth considering if you’re looking for an all over shimmer. :)
