Essence Wanna Be My Sunshine is a fantastic lemon yellow shimmer that leans green. Ya'll have seen it here already, but here are the swatch pictures.
How about an ultra close up macro shot? See the pretty shimmer? It's the same color as the polish but it's noticeable up close in the light.
With flash. See how the edges turn a little green. It's mostly lemon yellow but there is a touch of green in it!
I really liked this polish (as I do all my Essence polishes - thanks Theodora!) and it had decent wear time. 1-2 days before it started chipping. I love the color selection of these and this was the best yellow I've used! Honestly.
Essence Quattro eyeshadow in 01 XOXO is a lovely quad of four silver/purple shades. Very nice to have color coordinating eyeshadows if you're going for a monochromatic look. It includes a silvery white, silver, lilac, and black. All colors have a shimmer to them, and the lighter colors appear more frosted.

The silver one gave me the most trouble in terms of color. Even a heavy swatch didn't give me much color, but the silvery white and lilac were awesome. The black I bet would be best to give a touch of depth to the crease or wet as a liner. Good wear time, but I always wear them over primer, so I can't attest to wear time on its own. Yet! =P
Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadow in 02 Glammy Goes To... is a gorgeous shimmery taupe cream eyeshadow. It comes in a pretty tub with fun labeling (I'm such a sucker for cute packaging)

Gorgeous shimmery taupe and ya'll know I LOVE my taupe eye shadows. I'm not so much a fan of cream shadows because my lids are so oily, but this one fared well over the course of the day (with primer!). I do like this, and it makes for a great quick smokey eye with some smudged black liner (or brown if you want to go lighter) or a great quick eye for work or going out!
Hopefully I'll get an Eye of the Day up soon using these so you can see them in action!
I love how the polish looks, lovely and creamy. A gorgeous colour too xx
ReplyDeleteLove the color of the nail polish, perfect for a tend skin!
ReplyDeleteI love Essence products! The polishes are only a buck - so they're hard to beat!
ReplyDeleteEssence is an easy-to-get brand in my country, and I like that the poish is cheap. I sometimes have to be careful not to buy the whole display, that wouldn't be so cheap anymore :-p
ReplyDeleteI've awarded you with a fabulous blog ribbon! This means I love your blog and I think you're great =D Find it here: http://bit.ly/Lz5g7D
Nice products! Love the nail polish shade!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous I can't get essence anywhere in the UK! I used to own a beauty blog and another blogger always had essence products they look so lovely especially the nail varnishes!
