More Essence... !!

The last time I went to the health store I litteraly spent 15 minutes in front of the Essence's stand...!

The saleswoman was looking at me already, maybe checking if I was trying to shoplift or something ;)

But I just couldn't go away... they have the most amazing things! And when you look at the prices your reaction is not Oh-my-heart-just-stopped-maybe-this-is-what-a-stroke-feels-like, like it happens when you check the price tag on some beauty products...their prices are not so expensive.

Well of course sometimes they have smaller products but even so, its less expensive and that is gooood :)

This time I left the store with 2 products: Multi Action Mascara (a best-seller) and an Eyeliner Pen (from the Sun Club Collection)

Here they are:

It cost me 2,79 €...! can you believe actually having a good quality mascara for under 3 € ?!

Well that's just insane I guess...

Its supposed to give volume, lenght and vitality to your eyelashes...or so it says in the description.

As you can see in the photo, the brush is not small and that got me wondering... I'm always hearing that small brushes are the best because they define each lash individualy, blah, blah... anyway, I tried it and it's actually very nice!

I was blessed with some long dark lashes but let me tell you that with the lenght and volume it added I almost felt like using fake lashes!

The only bad thing: I felt like it left a little too much product on the lashes... danger of getting those panda-eyes... but other than that is definitely a winner!

On to the EyeLiner Pen:

This was a first time for me. Never tried an eyeliner pen before in my life.

It was quite the experience. Felt like drawing on myself with markers :D

It cost me 2,99 €, actually more expensive that the mascara and only has a tiny amount of product. Not good! (within my essence's standards, of course)

I like the way it feels in the skin and the color is dark enough.

Easy to use and caused no irritation.

For something that says "100% splash proof" I would expect it not to come off so easily.

Overall it's quite good but I'm still deciding if it's something that I would buy again.

Have a Sunny Day!!

Essence's mousse foundation

I have heard so much about Essence's products...  "they are so good and they are so cheap"
that I decided to try them myself.

Well, not all of them, of course, they are less expensive than other brands, sure, but money doesn't grow in trees yet, well at least not in the trees I know...

The first thing I decided to try was essence's mousse foundation (Soft Touch Mousse Make Up)

And here it is!

 I have purchased it in the 01 Matt Sand shade for 3,99€... wich is an excelent price considering that a similar product (mousse foundation, similar size) in other brands would cost me 10-12€ (the less expensive ones).

 In my opinion, the mousse texture is its best feature. It feels really light in the skin, like you were not using it and yet it gives a good coverage without using too much product.

I have only used it once or twice but it's already a favourite!

Great texture, good coverage, not expensive - I'll keep using it and recommend it =)

Have a sunny day!
