New Summer Collection: Essence Prismatic Rainbow Glow Highlighter Swatches + Review!

Hi beauties! This is the last item in the collection that Essence gave me for review this summer! I will now be reviewing the Essence Prismatic Rainbow Glow Highlighter!!! First of all, I have 2 of these because I was given one back last year! This year they gave me for review. It contains 10g of product--- That is a lot! See the pictures below

Prismatic Rainbow highligher : 10 Be a Unicorn

On a broad brush.

Swatched on my arm

Erm... Excuse me... Girl.... erm.... From left to right on my arm is a swatch from the brush to my arms, is from Blue to pink. However, I cant see no nothing on my arms!!!!! Wheres the blue yellow orange and pink on my arm? I was expecting something since i can see it on my brush. I swiped 2 times on my arm from the brush but there is nothing.... HOWEVER, when you swirl your brush all over and swipe on your face, this is what you will get:

Its just a light sheen on my face. I think I could use more product on my face, but definitely this is not a in your face kind of highlight. I prefer the Essence Soo Glow Highlighter than this as that is more impactful.

WHEN you put many layers on the rainbow on your face, it does look quite weird... Blue streaks on your face?-- Perhaps for a dress up party but not for a regular outing.

All in all, the rainbow trend is just a gimmick-- Do not fall for it, just go with a regular highlight. I won't fault them for this gimmick because all cosmetics go with the trend after all.. right? I will rate according to the product itself and what I think about it
Rating: 3/5
Price: You will know when it is released in Guardian and Watsons probably in July (For Singapore)

This concludes the last item of the trial packet that they gave me. Any other reviews are solely bought by myself. All my reviews are purely genuine and not because it was a gift from them. Thanks for your support in reading my blog posts!

Bye for now!

New Summer Collection: Essence Glamaxy Top Coat

HI Beauties! One more nail product from the packet! Its the Essence Glamaxy Top Coat!  They gave me in the shade 34 Glamaxy far, far away. First of all, this top coat is almost transparent with iridescent flakes which is sooooo cute!

It contains 8ml, which is the same amount as its regular line of nail polish.

I love the brush on this! And the cute sparkles! I love it so much

I used the Essence Glow and Care nail polish

If I had flexed my finger up and down, the sparkles will be more obvious and will shine more obviously. The only negative thing is that this top coat is not so shiny like those of the Seche Vite. Not too glossy. The only nice thing is the sparkles. I have put this nail polish on for about 4 days and not yet chipped. Wonderful!

New Summer Collection: Essence Fade Your Shade Lipstick Swatches and Reviews!

Hi ALL!!! I'm back with another Summer Collection 2017 Product to review today! It will be the Essence Fade Your Shade Lipstick! Its meant to either darken or lighten your lipsticks, depending on whether you get the nude or the darkish colour. I was sent the darkish colour and hence I will review the dark shade! I understand that it is a dark lipstick fade lipstick which mean you should put it in the middle of your lips and then put another colour outside to show the popsicle effect like those korean lip trend!

The amount of product in Fade Your Shade Lipstick

With its cap back on

This lipstick is actually just a really dark vampy red lipstick in itself. It feels like a lipstick and applies like a lipstick. On me it looks like I've just held a Activated Carbon Pill between my lips, check out the picture below

With just this lippie on

Then I added my favourite NYX lipbutter pink lipstick on and the result is as below

Sorry the lighting was different so i brightened the image

As you can see, the product got a little messed up after i added another cream product on it. It also doesn't really suit the lip colour I added to my lips. I have to give credit to the product that it does darken my lips... Although its just another regular lipstick. For me I would rather choose colours like Pink or reds that make me look like I have a popsicle lip. If you are going for a vampy look, I suppose you can use this as a lipstick on its own or do it like me.

Personally I do not find this product looking very nice on me and maybe I wont use it regularly as the colour is too dark for my taste.

My rating is: 3/5

Price: Will be known in July!-> Go to Guardian and Watsons to find them! (Singapore)

New Summer Collection: Essence Blushplay Blush! Swatches + Reviews

Hi Beauties! Today I have another summer collection product to talk about and its the Essence BlushPlay Sculpting Blush Palette! I have mixed feelings about this palette. BTW, I did not do any face swatch is because my skin looks bumpy due to pimples and it will not justify the product! I will do good swatches on my arms!

See the pictures below for the product!

Essence Blushplay blushes

Essence Blushplay Blushes

First of all, remember in the 1980s people do contouring with blushes and its called "drapping"? Last year I saw a few Youtube videos about some high end products starting to go back to this trend of selling blushes for the drapping look--- This is what I think Essence is trying to produce as well--- Then you see now... the trend already died down.

I would not personally do the drapping looks but I will use these individual blushes as blush and the lightest colour as a highlighter! See the swatches below!

left to right: Highlight, Sculpt, Define

First of all, the Define colour is very very nice as a good blush! I love it so much. Next, the sculpting colour is not pigmented at all! I tried to run my fingers on my arms 2 times and that's the best i could give. Lastly, I LOVE the highlight! It is pigmented and so beautiful! I do not blame the Sculpt colour for being not pigmented because I don't like to use dark colours as blush, but now it being unpigmented-- I can finally use it as a blush! Woohoo!!! I love this so much and it flaunts my looks.

New Summer Collection: Essence Volume Stylist Review + Swatches!

Hi Beauties!
I will be reviewing the Essence Volume Stylist 18h Last Extension Mascara with Lengthening fibers! Personally, on first use, I am honestly surprised because of the length it gave me!!! Also, although my lashes are naturally sparse and downward going, I could actually see a few strands going upward after I used this mascara! First time having such a good effect with mascaras!

Essence Volume Stylist 18h lash Extension

I think this mascara really packs the impact the instant i put on the first layer! I think 1 layer is already enough for a significant effect.

This is how the brush looks like--Regular looking

My eyelashes are naturally straight and short

See the impact with 1 layer??

This is the first time I see a bit of my lashes sticking above my eyeliner with just 1 layer of mascara! That is of course, with some effort to brush it upwards

I think pictures says a thousand words-- I really like this mascara

Ratings: 4.5/5

That's all for now!

Essence Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour Review + Swatches!

Hi Beauties! This is one of the products that Essence has sent to me for review (I am not paid in anyway, I reached out to them to request for some products to review... Was a bit of hard work lols). If you are really interested in getting makeup for review, you can set up a blog like me and show your interest to companies to get some products for review too! (good luck!) I feel its good to share good stuff with all of you and that's why I am sharing my experiences and also tips in makeup and extra stuff. Haha enough said on my life journey, let's head on to the review!

Essence Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour Applicator

First of all, let me compliment them on the well done up applicator. It was really easy to use and manipulate! Not hard at all. However, the product was a little difficult to get on. Partly because they gave me red, but there is another reason. See the pictures below

Essence Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour

See that this is a little bit patchy, there is a reason why. This product is exactly like a Korean liquid lip tint that does not dry down! This is just like a liquid lip tint, so watery and gel like. I put 1 layer and I tried to use the applicator to make it even. But it end up like this. I do not blame them for it, for, it is red after all. I do have another colour in pink, given by someone else. I will review that later on. That colour should be easier to handle.

As I don't usually wear red out, I decided to tone it down by wiping it off on a tissue. This is the result:

Look at that! It is easy to remove, so it is not like a tint at all! Neither is it like a lip gloss because it is not in the least bit sticky! It is just like a gel consistency. I prefer how it looks after i wiped it off. A litle hint of red-- Looks younger haha-- Although almost all gone.

All in all, I like the consistency as it is light weight and gel like. Just that it is slightly patchy, I am not mad, because red is after all, a hard colour to pull off.

My rating is: 4 /5 ( High score for the texture and applicator)
Price: To be announced in July 2017! Look out for them in your nearest Guardian and Watsons! (Singapore)

Love yall!
XOXO
