Essence: new products – make up (fall 2010)Essence: novi izdelki – make up (jesen 2010)

Today I’m going to show you the new Essence make up products that we got for review. Here is again a video Gejba prepared. It shows all the new stuff that we got. Today’s stuff is at the end of the video (from 1:53 onwards).

Smokey Eyes Set – Show Off is a set of a grey powder eyeshadow, grey cream eyeliner and an applicator. I already wrote about the other smokey eyes sets by Essence and Show Off is similar than the other two. The powder eyeshadow is very pigmented and it has a metallic finish. It’s not very dark. The cream eyeliner is as the other two not very pigmented. I wouldn’t use it as an eyeliner. It’s better as a cream eyeshadow. I compared the Show Off set with the black So What?! You can see the comparison below.

Eyeshadow Party All Night has a strong metallic finish. It’s very pigmented. See swatches below.

Next is a make up I did with Show Off and So What?! smokey eyes sets. For highlighting I used a white eyeshadow I’ll show you shortly. :wink:

Quattro Eyeshadow – Oh-So-Cute is a palette of four eyeshadows. I don’t think the shades in this particular palette work together well. The other thing that bothers me is the large silver shimmer. I just don’t like shimmer like that. Otherwise it’s a nice palette, just not what I would buy for myself. Here’s the white I used for highlighting in the make up above. The white is actually nice, but I rarely use a plain white.

Another make up. I used the Oh-So-Cute palette for this one.

Multi Colour Blush – Fashionista is a very nice looking blush. It consists of five different shades ranging from light pink to brown. It looks really really nice and the shimmer is tiny. If it would have been more pigmented, it would have been a great blush. Unfortunately it’s rather sheer and too light for my skin tone. The blush shows up on me only if I pick up a lot of product (and layer it) and only if I pick the darker three shades. But for “blush shy” people with lighter complexion it would be probably great. Here are the swathes (applied over a base) of all the different shades in the blush.

These were the things I got to review. My conclusion is:

  • the eyeshadows crumble a bit
  • my favourite product is Show Off smokey eyes set
  • blush is for “blush shy” people with lighter complexion

Next are some products that were tested by Gejba and Goga.


Goga tested the bronzer Love To Be Matt.

It was the first time I tested a matte bronzer. I only tested it twice as it’s a bit too dark for my not very tanned skin. Despite the fact that it’s a bit too dark for me at the moment, it isn’t a bad bronzer. I would say it’s worth the money. It doesn’t crumble a lot. The transfer to the brush is just right. I blended it a little more than I usually blend my bronzers. I touched it up with a bit of a highlighter and the end effect was perfect. The down side is that the bronzer will hit the stores in the fall. I mean, who needs a dark bronzer in the winter? Well, I guess it’ll have to wait until next year, right?

Gejba tested the Stays On and On! volume mascara.

The mascara is black. It has a rather narrow brush, which does a good job. It separates the lashes well. The mascara extends the lashes and it gives them a little bit of volume. It doesn’t crumble, the removal is easy.

I swatched mascara on a “naked” eye wit a purpose – I wanted the eyelashes to be in the spot light. The mascara is applied only on the top lashes.

Smokey Eyes Set – Show Off je set sivega senčila, sivega črtala za oči v obliki kreme (morda bi mu lahko celo rekli kremno senčilo :undecided: ) in aplikatorja. O smokey eyes setih znamke Essence sem že pisala in Show Off je zelo podoben prejšnjima dvema. Senčilo je sivo s kovinskim finišem. Kremno črtalo ni zelo pigmentirano. Sama ga ne bom uporabljala kot črtalo, ampak kot podlago za ličenje oči in za poudarjanje oči. Za črtalo je premalo pigmentiran (kot tudi kremni črtali iz ostalih setov). Spodaj je fotografija, kjer sem primerjala seta Show Off in So What?!.

Senčilo Party All Night ima močan kovinski finiš. Je dobro pigmentirano.

Sledi make up, ki sem ga naredila s setoma Show Off in So What?! Za osvetljevanje sem uporabila belo senčilo, ki vam ga bom kmalu predstavila. :wink:

Quattro Eyeshadow – Oh-So-Cute je paleta štirih senčil. Menim, da odtenki v tej specifični paleti niso ravno posrečeni. Enostavno ne sodelujejo najbolje. Poleg tega pa niso ravno “moji” odtenki. Najbolj sta mi všeč bel in temno moder odtenek. Senčila imajo malo večji srebrn šimer, ki mi ni preveč všeč, saj leti naokrog. Na veki ga skoraj ni zaznati, pod očmi pa ga je seveda preveč. V splošnem paleta ni slaba, le kombinacija barv mi ni ravno pisana na kožo. V paleti je bela, ki sem jo zgoraj uporabila za osvetljevanje.

Sledi še en make up. Tokrat je narejen s Oh-So-Cute paleto.

Multi Colour Blush – Fashionista je rdečilo za lica, ki je sestavljeno iz petih različnih odtenkov (od svetlo roza do rjave). Rdečilo izgleda zelo privlačno. Vsebuje zelo zelo droben šimer. Če bi bilo rdečilo bolj pigmentirano, bi bilo skoraj perfektno. Žal pa je slabše pigmentirano in še presvetlo je za mojo polt. Na meni je rdečilo opazno le, če ga nanesem v večih slojih in le, če uporabim temnejše tri odtenke. :ermm: Verjetno pa bo rdečilo super za ljudi, ki imajo raje slabše pigmentirana rdečila, in za tiste s svetlejšo poltjo. Sledijo swatchi vseh petih odtenkov v rdečilu.

To so bile reči, ki sem jih dobila v testiranje. Moj povzetek je:

  • senčila se rahlo prašijo in drobijo
  • moj favorit je Show Off smokey eyes set
  • rdečilo za lica je za ljudi s svetlješo poltjo in za tiste, ki imate raje manj pigmentirana rdečila

Sledijo izdelki, ki sta jih testirali Gejba in Goga.


Goga je preizkusila Love To Be Matt.

Prvič sem imela priložnost sprobati mat bronzer pa še to samo 2x, ker je precej temen jaz pa letos nisem bila nič kaj preveč na soncu in je moja koža na obrazu precej svetla.
Ga moram pohvalit, da je kar dober za tako ceno, za malo denarja boste dobile veliko muzike :wink: Se ne drobi preveč, na čopič se prime ravno pravšnja količina za nanos. Jaz sem ga sicer malce bolj blendala kot ponavadi in dodala pikico HL in na koncu je izgledalo super. :thumb: Malce pozno smo/bomo dobile ta izdelek v prodajo, bi bilo fino, če bi ga imele spomladi oz. pred poletjem. :yes:

Gejba je preizkusila Stays On and On! volume mascara.

Maskara je črne barve z dokaj ozko krtačko, ki lepo razčeše trepalnice, jih podaljša ter doda nekaj malega volumna. Se ne kruši, odstranjevanje je nezahtevno.
Swatch je narejen na nenaličenem očesu, zato da pride maskara bolj do izraza (maskaro sem nanesla le na zgornje trepalnice).

  2. Od komplet novih izdelkov imam željo le po Choose me! lakcu. Set Show off mi je tudi zelo všeč, vendar zelo podoben izgled – podoben odtenek – dobim s Smokey Eyes triom od Bourjois, če uporabim svetlejši dve od senčk. Pri Oh-So-Cute četvorčku se čisto strinjam s tabo, kombinacija je čisto mimo, ne vem, kaj bi počela s takim četvorčkom.  Prav tako mi niso všeč ostali izdelki, ne vem … Essence me žal redkokdaj impresionira, že to, da so ustvarili Choose me! kot dvojnika hit odtenka se mi zdi zelo impresivno. :yes:
