I know, I know, it's almost been a month since I've last posted, and I'm so sorry!
I've had a lot of videos (hauls, getting ready, the such), and photos taken, but I've been really sick/busy/lazy to do anything with them.
But today, here I am with a haul :)
I know that the USA, Europe and probably Australia are quite familiar with the brand Essence as, almost, being like another e.l.f- cheap priced make-up, with good quality results.
To better myself from dizziness and a bad headache, I went shopping and discovered that Essence has finally come to Singapore, and boy, was I surprised by the incredibly low prices.
Normally, make up from the drugstore would certainly be at least $11.90SGD, but Essence has taken the prize for being the cheapest stuff I've come across.
So without further ado, here are some lovely additions to my collection!
(I must apologise now for some of the photo quality.)
Essence Colour & Go Quick Drying Nail Polish in "Viva la Green":
My eye was caught on this gorgeous mint/teal colour, that goes by the name of Viva la Green. I did have a photo of a swatch, but it was horrendous. The brush is a standard brush, but the application and the dry-time is absolutely wonderful! As it says on the bottle, it is a "quick drying" nail polish, and it certainly delivers on that part. You only need a good two coats to get a lovely opaque colour that is exact to what the bottle shows. As for chipping, I'm not sure yet, but time shall tell! The price of this was mind-blowing at $2.30SGD only.
Essence Lipstick in "(52) In The Nude":
Lipstick next! This lippy is the most perfect nude colour for my skin tone. It doesn't wash me out, nor does it look too dark. The packaging is very similar, if not the same, to the e.l.f Essential lipsticks, plastic, with a clear strip in the middle with "Essence" printed in silver. The only downside with the packaging is that the lipstick does not go all the way down, so you must be careful when putting the cap back on, or you must slice/nick some of the product! From what I saw, you don't get too much product, but if you have an extensive collection of lippies and such, that wouldn't be too much of a bother, and if you don't, the price is so low, you wouldn't be breaking you bank trying to repurchase! Application is heaven. It slides on like butter, and it's so moisturising to the lips. I personally recommend, though, to apply on already mositurised lips as the lipstick might highlight chapped lips (as you can see in the picture, aha!) Lasting power, not sure of quite yet, but will surely update on that! Price: $4.30SGD
Essence Tip Painter in "White":
I was quite interested when I saw this, as I've never owned a "striper" before, and I love doing my nails up, when I feel bothered to. As someone who appreciates a good classic French mani, but who doesn't always do a great job in regards to doing them on themselves, this product was something I thought I would try out. As you can see from the picture, the tip is very skinny, which would probably be very good for just lining where the white should begin, not so much to paint the entire tip. Plus, it could also be used for the design seen on my thumb, and other cool things as well. It comes up pretty opaque and it dries quickly as well! Price: $3.30SGD
Hope you enjoyed this post, and there will be more coming! I have a "birthday" haul filmed, with a getting ready video from that night, plus more in store!
Thanks for reading guys :)
