The Best of Essence Makeup
One of my new loves from the color correcting range is the dark circle correcting liquid in pastel yellow. I actually use this in place of a concealer because it's not super thick and it's really brightening. I find that it doesn't crease the way every other liquid makeup has under my eyes. This is a super affordable corrector and it's one of my faves.
Another face product that I would recommend is the soft-touch mousse makeup foundation. The color selection is not great, but I was able to find my shade (matte ivory). This foundation is very lightweight and smooth. I do have a little bit of cakeiness between my brows and around my nose, but if I take a damp sponge to those areas everything blends out nicely. It is a lighter coverage foundation that is great for natural days and people that don't need a lot of coverage. I also find that it's not tacky and it would be okay if you didn't set it with a powder. Overall, I'm quite impressed for the price.
The eyeshadow in "Shrimp me up" is unfortunately not available anymore, but I still wanted to mention it. I've been using this as part of a more festive eyelook during the holidays and I really like it. The downfall is that it takes a little while to build up and the pigmentation isn't great. However, I think Essence has probably upped there game with eyeshadows, so I would check out the new ones they have.
Essence's Make me brow in "brownie brows" is probably my favorite brow product ever. It is a really affordable dupe for the Benefit Gimme Brow (I mentioned both of these in the blogpost here). You can use this on its own for a natural look or with pencil/cream products to set the brows. I highly suggest purchasing this product if you're on a budget and need a trusty brow gel.
Lastly, there's the Long-lasting lipstick in "Très chic". I can't speak from personal experience because I haven't used this product yet, however, it is $2.99 with a 4.5 star review. This color looks like a gorgeous shade for the winter and I am excited to use it. I will let you know my final thoughts after I have used it.
Side-note: The Essence advent calendar that is out now is amazing!!! It's really affordable and has something nice each day for 24 days. I am opening each day on my Instagram story. Check it out! My username is rainbow_roll4
