    Beauty Haul : Essence @ Watson’s

    Beauty Haul
    Essence Cosmetics
    @Watson’s Singapore
    Ngee Ann City

    It’s CRAZY! I just shopping around in Watson’s at Ngee Ann City today after visiting my dentist and I spotted this German Brand of cosmetics that is unbelievably affordable. Every single product in the counter sells less than S$10 !

    When I saw that the black pencil eyeliner was priced at $2.20, I thought it was some cheap, lower-end cosmetics like silkygirl cosmetics. But no, I was wrong! I tested the eyeliner and did a light swatch on the back of my hand and I was so amazed at how high pigmented the eyeliner is! It glides smoothly and gently on my skin and the pigments adhere pretty well to the skin. Well, I thought, there must be other goodies from this comestic line!

    Other goodies : Nail polishes, French manicure set and accessories, Eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip glosses, make-up brushes, mascaras, concealer, foundation, blusher, bronzer…well, pretty much everything !

    Essence’s Matt Bronzing Powder
    Sun Club
    For Blondes : Lighter Skin
     S $ 7.60

    This bronzing powder has a matt finish and that’s what I need as I don’t really want my skin to appear too shiny or glittery. Besides, a natural matt-finished look is in for this season. They have both matt and shimmering bronzing powder for two different skin tones : Brunettes ( dark-skin tone) or blondes (light-skin tone).

    Stunning prices, isn’t it? Based on the testimonials of other essence’s product users on YouTube, the make-up brand is comparable to Wet N Wild and L.A Girl cosmetics.

     Essence’s Smoky Eye Set
    Duo Eyeshadow Palette 
    S$ 5.00
    Shimmering light grey and Matt deep grey.

    Eyeshadow Applicator and brush.

    I choose the smokey eye set that has a darker grey undertones instead of the colour black which could appear too harsh against my skin tone. There’s also a deep brown smokey eye palette available at the counter. According to the instructions given, the brush is used as a eyeliner brush to line the eyes while the sponge is used to smudge out the dark eyeshadow. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft the brush applicator is thought it might look pretty stiff on camera.

    Essence : Forget It – 3 in 1 Concealer
    S $5.00

    This is an interesting product that make use of colours to neutralise redness or lighten blemishes to fully conceal the imperfections on the skin. The texture is slightly creamy so I advise that one should use it sparingly as creamy-textured products can easily clogged pores.
    Essence Long Lasting Eye 
    $3.30 (Pink)
    Essence Metallic Eye Pen 
    $2.80 (Gold)
    Essence Kajal Eye Pencil 
    $2.20 (White)
    These 3 eye pencils/pen took me by surprise because the quality is comparable to Maybelline’s and L’oreal’s eye pencils. It’s dark and highly pigmented. I must say this has to be one of the best buys! Eye pencils and eye liners of other cosmetics drugstore brands usually ranged from S$7.90 to S$25. But Essence’s eye pencils only cost a fraction of the above mentioned prices!

    Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow and for the rest of the days! I will keep you guys updated!Chao!
