Essence

[xoxoline]

this Germany drugstore brand is first known for their gel liner, which has been a fav for some of us! i have a lot products from essence, and the quality is quite good being a drugstore product Hidden Content

sayang, skarang di MP udah ngga buka lapak untuk ULTA lagi jadi bingung mau pesen essence dari mana. but i heard from tika89 essence is available at selected watsons SG!
lucky me, at the very last chance of ordering from ULTA at MP, I managed to buy their latest matte lip creams:

Hidden Content

so far warnanya yg aku tau cuma baru ada 3:
(atas-bawah)
Smooth Berry
Silky Red
Velvet Rose

texture wise, dia ini enak banget dan ringan..tp ga bener2 nempel dan TRANSFER like crazy..but you only need very little of product for a full, opaque lips coverage!

okay, ada racun essence lainnya? i'm eyeing on their blush and lipstick series! Hidden Content

Xoxoline yaaaaay akhirnya ada thread iniii! I also have the matt lip cream!!! It glides on smoothly, haven't opened the berry and the red one thou..

The mascaras!!! The black one, the pink one and lso the 24 hours mascara. They. Are. Simply. Amazeballs!!

I have tried their single eyeshadow yang 3D warna purple. Its buildable, a bit powdery but for 3 or 4sgd,this is a bargain.

They also have cover up concealer that looks like bobbi brown one. Again, i do have it tapi blm colek..

essence! Hidden Content their blushes are pretty good, my mom already hit pan on one! kemaren ibuku nyari di watsons SG, stoknya pada kosong huhu too bad.

what i've tried from essence:
- nail polishes: cute colors, super cheap, quite thin and runny though so you need to layer a few coats
- blush: good color payoff, good staying power, basic color selections though
- single eyeshadow: aku beli edisi spesial Oz, it's so good! soft and buttery, great pigments too!
Hidden Content
- eyeshadow palette: good color payoff, decent staying power and blendability, good for the price
- lip creams: Hidden Content smooooothh, ringan, opaque
- sharpener: my favorite product from essence!!! disebut2 dupe nya UD grindhouse. this works so well!!!

sayangnya yg buka PO jarangggg... padahal they have cute LE and seasonal collections!

btw xoxoline, lip creams ada satu lagiii yg nude gituuu

my favorite products from essence are gel eyeliners and matte compact powder. seriously, give 'em a try! gel eyelinernya udah dipake hampir setahun, masih se-creamy awal beli. sama kaya tika89, aku juga suka sharpenernya.
yg ga berhasil dipake adalah si quad eyeshadow, powdery dan dry. yah.. namapun harga di bawah 50rb ya.. punya juga beberapa brushnya dan ga suka. kasar dan cepat rontok. heran knapa banyak yg review bagus. *oops OOT.
I'm lucky to have access to these beauties karna mereka available di selected watsons KL. gara2 dititipin lipstick dan lip cream, jadi colek2 juga dan suka teksturnya tapi belum nemu shade yg disuka. I think I'll try their blushes and mascaras. thanks for the recommendation!

nayzu,
eye primernya belom dicoba ya nayy? ah iya, match to cover udah ada di wishlist ku sejak lama tp belom kesampean Hidden Content skarang udah susah banget cari si essence hiks. kapan2 kalo ada kesempatan boleh deh coba mascaranya hihi,maybe the pink one Hidden Content

o yaaa as promised, here's stay matt lip cream in smooth berry (on me!)
Hidden Content

OOT dikit, but i'm amazed to death how great your self-control is, bisa tahan ga buka makeup! aku sih udah langsung colek sana sini, ga tahan sumpah Hidden Content

tika89,
itu gara2 tikaaaa jadi aku pengen blush nya! Hidden Content sayang skrg yang buka PO ulta ga ada, dan belom sempet ke SG lagii.. nitip juga susah, di watsons mana sih tik yg ada essence? lupaa, kayanya di ngee an once you told me..benerkah? eh print oz nya lucuu!
noted, the sharpener is on the wishlist now!

rieda,
compact nya yg putih itu bukan? oke ya? Hidden Content lipsticknya essence aku penasaran, you should really give a try deh buat lipcreamnya. transfer sih, but the color payoff is damn good!!

Xoxoline ah ga di sebelah engga disini, gw keracun lippen elo deh. Itu lippennya semacem slmc n*x gitu ya? Ngeringin kah? Suka banget merahnya, bikin stunning.
Essence yg pernah gw pake ya eyeliner gel nya, puaaaaas bgt. Engga smudge n awet di gw. Baru nyoba yang item, tertarik nyoba2 warna2 lain.

[shopaholic]

Essence juga di jual koq di watson KL. Suka liat di watson bukit bintang dan keliatannya produknya lengkap juga

[tika89]

xoxoline

Hidden Content

[v1n4_blue]

xoxoline & tika
cakeepp warna lippennya, jd mupeng nih

ada yg pernah coba mascara essence sama eyeliner essence yg model spidol ga? bagi reviewnya dong kalo ada yg pernah coba Hidden Content

[nayzu]

Vina I wear the i love volume mascara yang warna hitam itu. This is my everyday mascara. Kadang2 aku ngerasa brush nya yang gede itu ngambil too much product dan suka kena lid kalo lg apply mascara krn brushnya gede gtu.. not exactly volumizing, tapi lengthening jadinya di aku. Mungkin kl bulu matamu tebel kmu bakal suka banget ama mascaranya. Nah, yang backstage mascara ini ada warna pinknya dan banyak yg ngerave si pink. Sayang waktu ke SG kmrn yg pink abis Hidden Content jadi grab yang kuning yg stays 24 hours which I haven't opened..

Oot dikit but xoxoline sometimes I have the urge to open every single makeup that I bought but i'm TRYING not to so hardddddddd cos aku trauma trakhir ada concealer yang aku suka jadi basi karena digilir sama yg lain hahaha :P

[xoxoline]

lulupeds,
huehehe maaf jeung Hidden Content but essence is really pretty IRL too! iya semacam smlc brand sebelah, tp yg ini lebih transferable deh, and IMO it doesn't really set down. e tapi warna2 essence ini ga ada di brand sebelah lho, i've think of some dupes, tp here's the swatch below for us to judge Hidden Content
(satu dulu ya, si smooth berry, nanti yg merah ama pink nyusul)

Hidden Content

n*x is more muted, warmer medium pink, while essence is redder, fresher!

tika89,
thanks darls Hidden Content duh, i hope this holiday bisa ke SG, huhuhu penasaran bgt ama blushernya, mascaranya juga, jd googling stelah nayzu bilang, reviewnya bagus2!
eh tik warna essence ini true bgt ya.. i mean, it still looks pretty much the same, meskipun tone fotoku agak kuning while yours is more true to IRL color, tp masih sama aja tuh payoff nya, amazing berry red! Hidden Content

vina blue,
iya cakep banget, kudu coba deh kalo ada kesempatan icip essence Hidden Content
ehh si nayzu punyaa, mari kita tunggu reviewnya deh *duduk manis*

nayzu,
i feel you! nyesek emang kalo sampe ada yg rusak..i feel you, nyesek banget. request review mascara yg udah dibuka donggg nayy!

[pinkyrose]

Waaaaa... Ada tret ini.Yang pernah dan sedang pakai :

Creamy lipstik : punya yg shade creamy nude.. Tekstur nya oke banget, imo lebih oke daripada milani color statement ato CG .. Super smooth tapi gak sebenyek nyx rls, pigmented, decent staying power, dan gak bikin bibir kering.. Dan warna nude nya cakep sangaaaat.. HG lipstick ku sekarang..tapi make nya di sayang2.. Soalnya kalo abis bakal susah beli nya,kecuali pas ada yg bisa d titipin

Silky touch blush: punya shade secret it girl .. Warm orange gitu.. Gak powdery, smooth, staying power nya okeee.. Dulu sering d pake ke venue musik soalnya buat tes staying power.. Cuman warna nya emang standart banget.. Ya cuma orange peach gitu..kurang greget..

Mattifying powder : udah d pakai sampe hit pan, alternatif yg oke supaya gak boros2 mac blot.. Hidden Content , imo efek matte dan oil controlnya dapet , tapi teksturnya sedikit powdery..

Hmmmmm.. Sekarang lagi pengen banget lipgloss nya, mozaic blushes nya, kenapa seller FD pada gak buka ulta.. Syediiiiih..hiiiks..

[nayzu]

xoxoline here it isssss JRENGGGGGGG the I love extreme volume mascara

Hidden Content

This is the mascara I've been talking about. As you can see it's kinda GEDAY dan LONG yah dibandingin Benefit they're real. in terms of the brush as well. look at that tiny benefit brush LOL.

here is my bare lashes
Hidden Content

here is with one coat
Hidden Content

two coats
Hidden Content

I haven't tried three coats but I can imagine that my lashes would be too spidery if I try three coats. So far I really like to use this as an everyday mascara because of the cool effect and also the price tag. (I ran out of benefit and I'm thinking thrice to repurchase it..) So, that's my two cents about essence mascara Hidden Content

[Galulu]

ada racun baru :3
dari dulu udah liat2 mascara essence tp blm mantep buat beli. baca di sini kayaknya mascara nya oke yaa, dan teracuni dengan blushernya Hidden Content

[tika89]

good news!! ada yg buka PO Ulta di MP hihi aku langsung nanya harga bronzernyaaaa karena dia matte dan kayanya ngga orange Hidden Content and also lip liners. aku lupa review lip liners nyaaa! they are very creamy. aku punya yg nude, too pale for me sih (as usual) but it makes for a good base for other not-so-nude lipsticks Hidden Content

oiya btw nayzu, mascaranya waterproof nggaaa?
