Essence Cosmetics Makeup Collection: swatches and lots of photos!

My current Essence Cosmetics makeup collection❤

Essence Cosmetics is one of my favorite makeup brands. I love their trendy, high quality and super affordable products. Many of the products from my collection are already discontinued, because they renew their range often and have limited editions regularly, but some are still available online or in stores😊

Essence Satin Touch Blush in the shade 10 ‘Satin Coral’

I love this blush! It’s a good shade for summer. The other shade named ‘Satin Love’ is also very pretty🌷

Essence ‘I Love Stage’ Eyeshadow Base

It’s a good basic eyeshadow base that holds your eyeshadows on all day👍

Essence ‘Make Me Brow’ Eyebrow Gel Mascara

This eyebrow mascara has a convenient little brush and sets eyebrows pretty good.

Essence Pure Nude Highlighter

It’s a subtle highlighter for every day makeup, that gives your face healthy glow without being too shiny and noticeable.

Essence ‘All About Matte’ Fixing Compact Powder

I like using this powder to lightly set the foundation, or on top of the creamy lipstick to make it matte😉

Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen

It’s a nice black eyeliner pan✔

L'Oreal Pure-Sugar Smooth and Glow Grapeseed Scrub Review

I got this mini-size of the L’Oreal Pure-Sugar Smooth and Glow Grapeseed Scrub with the purchase of L’oreal Pure-Sugar Clay Mask.

The scrub has a pleasant sweet smell.
The consistency looks like a real sugar mixed with cream.
It glides onto the skin easy and gently exfoliate.
Only a very small amount needed for the entire face, so if you buy a full-size it will last for a long time.
After rinsing it leaves skin smooth, soft, exfoliated, pores are visibly clean.

But for me there is something, that’s not really convenient – you have to apply this scrub on dry skin with dry hands, then rinse. And it makes sense, because it’s sugar, and it will melt right away if there is water on your face or hands. I prefer use scrubs while I’m taking shower, so it makes it very not comfortable to use this scrub. But I like the result it gives👍

So if you don't mind applying face scrub on dry face with dry hands, you should try this L’oreal Pure-Sugar Smooth and Glow Grapeseed Scrub, because overall it works great!

Shades: 02 – Wild Rose and 03 – Electric Mauve❤

Olay Facials, Deep Hydrating Eye Gel and Regenerist Whip Samples Review

Recently I’ve gotten a sample set from Olay, which included: Olay Daily Facials, Olay Deep Hydrating Eye Gel, Olay Regenerist Whip. In this post I want to share my opinion on these products.

Olay Daily Facials Cleansing Cloth

The pack included one dry cleansing cloth. It says that it’s “5-in-1 cleansing power of a makeup remover, scrub, toner, mask and cleanser”. You need to wet the cloth to activate the product, and then use it to remove makeup or just to cleanse your face, then reuse it again for final rinse.

I did everything according to the instructions✔

The cloth is big enough for the entire face and neck.
It removed my makeup fast and easy, but for eye makeup I used my regular two-phase eye makeup remover.
It lathers pretty good and got enough product for makeup removing and cleansing (I didn’t use any face wash, the cloth was enough for everything).
The smell is also very pleasant.
After rinsing my skin felt very smooth, soft and deeply cleansed.

I liked this product👍 I think it would work very good for travel skincare, because one cloth can be a makeup remover and a cleanser, which saves you time and luggage space😉

Olay Deep Hydrating Eye Gel

It was my first time ever trying this product and I really really loved it!😍

It got a clear gel consistency.
The sample pack lasted me a few days, so the full size will sure last 3-4 months👍
After applying it melts into the skin and absorbs right away.
Under eye area feels comfortable throughout the day.
Fine lines become less visible😊

I will definitely purchase the full size!❤

Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer

It was my third time trying a sample of this product and I’ve already purchased a full size!

It’s great for oily skin! It gives enough moisture while keeping the face matte.
It feels very light on the skin due to its whip-like consistency.
It absorbs right away, doesn’t leave any stickiness and works good as a makeup primer👍

This product became one of my favorites for oily skin and I recommend you checking it out as well!😊
