Essence Breaking Dawn Part 2 Collection

Hi all,
The other day I went to the movies and watched Breaking Dawn Part 2. In my own opinion, I really liked it and thought that this one was the best out of the whole Twilight Saga! Essence has released a range inspired by Breaking Dawn Part 2. I have several products from the range to share with you today!
The first product is the Loose Pigments Eyeshadow in Edward's Love. These are loose pigments which are available in four shades. They can be used individually or combined which I quite like. The product comes in a little plastic jar. I like the packaging because it is nice and simple and you can see the product clearly. The pigment is nice to apply and also blend out. The shade Edward's Love is a smoky grey/black which is great for smoky eyes and creating vampire eyes!
RRP $4.95



Another product is the Lipstick in A Piece of Forever. I really like this lipstick. It contains fine gold glitter particles. The formula is nice and pampering and has a silky texture. My lips do not dry out when using this product. Also, the packaging, again, is simple and appealing. The only shade, A Piece of Forever, is a nice, natural gold colour. I think it really enhances the lips and gives extra shine and sparkle!
RRP $4.95



The next product is the Shimmer Powder. I love this product and found it quite innovative. This powder will give your face and body a delicate shimmer. Also I think this would be great as a highlighter. The packaging is nice and plain and you can clearly see the product, which is a plus. The powder is an iridescent gold. This is a superb product.
RRP $5.95



Another product is the Blush in Renesmee Red. The packaging of this product is nice, simple and sleek. The product has a nice, velvety texture and is super easy to use and apply. The only shade, Renesmee Red, is a great sheer red which really brightens up any look. I think this especially fantastic for fair skin.
RRP $5.50



The last product is the Nail Polish in Jacob's Protection. I like the simple packaging of the polish. Also the product is of great quality and lasts for quite a long time. There are four shades. Jacob's Protection is a beautiful dark, mystical blue with lovely blue glitter in it. I absolutely love this colour and think it is to die for!
RRP $3.95

Essence Review: Eyeshadow, Powder and more!

Hi beauties,
I really think Essence is a great make-up brand that is so cheap. It so does not lack is quality though. They have so many great products to offer including the following below!
Essence Mattifying Compact Powder
Powder is a make-up must-have for me since my skin is on the oily side. The packaging of the product is nice and simple and displays the product well. It is suitable for ALL skin types and is dermatogolically tested which is a plus. The powder applies on really smooth and provides nice coverage for a powder. I feel that Essence Mattifying Compact Powder is really mattifying and give my skin a non-oily, matte finish which I absolutely love. This product is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, to wear over foundation and even by itself for a natural matte face. It does its job really well and will be a powder that I definitely will use over and over again.
RRP $5.95
Essence Mattifying Compact Powder in Soft Tan


Essence Powder Brush
The professional brush is round and paddle-shaped. It is a great size making it easy to apply powder, blush, bronzer and highlighter. I find the blush really easy to control and use. Essence Powder Brush is so soft and nice. The packaging of the brush itself is so cool and attractive as the brush is purple but has a black tip. This gives the brush a nice pop to it. I really like this brush, especially for powder, and find it so portable and convenient.
RRP $5.95


Essence I Love Rock Gloss Eye Pencil
This eyeliner is a ultra black and glossy. The product when applied is thin but is buildable for a thicker line. The product is glossy but not glittery. It has cute yet simple packaging and is long lasting. The consistency of the eyeliner is really really nice as it glides on so well. This product is great like all the others as the quality is so fantastic.
RRP $2.55



Essence Eyeshadow Quattro
This product features four matching shades. The packaging is simple, nice and easy to see the product well. The eye shadows are really really easy to use. The eyeshadow shades really do go nicely with each other. They are all matte shades and actually is a new product from Essence. Over the Taupe features a cream shadow, a light brown/beige, a brown shadow and a dark brown. These are perfect for an everyday and natural look. This product is so portable and great for being on-the-go. I really like this eyeshadow quad because it has nice colours and is of great quality.
RRP $5.95
