I was curious how the eyeshadow brush is going to be. I didn’t expect much and I think I didn’t get much either. First off, the brush is soft and it’s not dense. When I washed it, it shedded a bit too much for my liking. When I used it to do my make up, it lost another hair. We’ll see how it’ll hold in the future. Next thing is the performance “on the field”. I tried to do a make up with it and it was almost impossible to do a nice make up just with this brush. I noticed that it’s almost useless for applying eyeshadows (it’s OK for applying eyeshadow all over your lids), but it’s very good for blending, because it’s fluffy. It’s soft, but it’s not dense. The hair is pretty long. I’ll say perfect for blending and applying highlighter eyeshadow.

There are two shades of lipsticks in the collection.

  • Back To The 50’s is a nice creme (no shimmer) red lipstick . The texture is creamy. The color on me is tomato red. It’s nicely pigmented and the application is easy. I’d say that with this one you’ll need a lip pencil to line the lips.
  • I’m Sailing is a nice light orange-y shade . Maybe it’s even light salmon shade. The texture is the same as with the red one and it also doesn’t contain shimmer. Though it’s a bit less pigmented than the red lipstick from the collection. It’s a nice everyday lipstick.

There are three eye pencils in the collection. All of them have shimmer (not glitter). These are nice, but a bit to hard for my taste. I’d love them if they were softer.

  • Love Me Tender is a nice olive to old gold shade.
  • I’m A Marine Girl is a dark blue.
  • You’re A Heartbreaker is grey with blue undertones.

There’s a translucent loose powder (for a flawless, matt finish) in the collection as well. I tried it on my face and I liked it. It has silky finish and it didn’t dry out my face too much. It has a soft pleasant (maybe powdery) scent. I like it.

Five nail polishes. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen 15ml bottles by Essence!!!

  • Ahoy! is a creme white. I had to trim my brush. Otherwise I think it’s a nice white.
  • Back To The 50’s is a creme (cherry) red.
  • I’m A Marine Girl is a dark shimmer blue.
  • Love Me Tender is a frosty champagne with a bit of pewter to it.
  • You’re A Heartbreaker is a grey shade with tinny multicolored (silver, blue, green) shimmer.

I also prepared a short video of every product that I bought. There’s a better view of the brush and translucent loose powder as well swatches of the eye pencils and lipsticks. At the end there’s also a nice view of the nail polishes. I hope you’ll enjoy “the view”. :biggrin:

My conclusion: The brush is OK for blending, not for applying eyeshadow. Lipstick are nice. One is great everyday shade and another classic red. And no shimmer. Thumbs up. Eye pencils are too hard. Nice colors though. Translucent loose powder is a very good powder. I recommend it. Nail polishes are nice and a huge plus are the big bottles!!!


Gejba bought the eyeshadows and here are her swatches and her thoughts on them.

Swatches are made over the eyeshadow base – I used two different bases for the darkes part of the duo.

01 I’m A Marine Girl: This is duo that I like the least from 50’s Girls Reloaded LE. Lighter shade comes in nice beige color, but is too shimmery for me. The biggest shimmer is limited only on the upper layer of the eyeshadow, so I’ll probably use it once in a while. Blue shade is blurple at best. It looks almost warm purple on KIKO eyeshadow base, while Rival de Loop Young brings out the cooler toned purple.

02 You’re A Heartbreaker: I liked the gray part of this duo. It’s finely milled and has slight blue undertone to it. The white eyeshadow is way too shimmery for my taste.

03 Come On Board Captain!: gray-green-beige eyeshadow was the main reason I stopped in front of the 50’s Girls Reloaded stand (that and I had to check out lightest lipstick :silly: ). Very useful shade for me + it isn’t very shimmery. Darkest eyeshadow looks like mix of black-blue base and blue shimmer. KIKO base does nothing for this eyeshadow while Rival de Loop Young brings out the shimmer to the front.

Essence – 50’s Girls Reloaded. Nova omejena izdaja, nov review. Pa začnimo.

Zelo me je zanimalo, kakšen bo čopič za nanos senčil. Pričakovala nisem veliko, dobila pa prav tako nisem veliko. Vsaj tako se mi dozdeva. Najprej, čopič (oziroma dlake) je puhast, kar pomeni, da je mehek, a dlake niso goste. Ko sem ga oprala, je spustil nekaj dlak. Za moj okus oz. moje pojme, je spustil preveč dlak. Nato je spustil še kakšno dlako, ko sem ga uporabila za nanos senčila. Zanima me, kako bo v prihodnje. Zna se zgoditi, da čopiči na začetku spustijo nekaj dlak, nato pa nobene več. Bomo videli. Naslednje je, obnašanje “na terenu”, torej pri nanosu senčil. S čopičem sem poskušala narediti celotem make up, a sem se preveč mučila na nekje na poti obupala in pograbila svoje čopiče. Enostavno je čopič preveč puhast (fluffy) in ga je skoraj nemogoče kontrolirati, ko prideš do natančnih linij ipd. Meni osebno se zdi čopič neuporaben za nanos senčila (dober je, če želite nanesti senčilo čez celo veko, za kaj bolj natančnega je pa že neuporaben), je pa super za blendanje in nanos osvetljevalca na veko oz. pod obrvi.

V kolekciji sta dve rdečili za ustnice.

  • Back To The 50’s je lepa klasična rdeča brez šimra. Tekstura je kremasta. Šminka je lepo mazljiva. Nanos enostaven. Rekla bi, da je s to šminko zelo priporočljivo uporabiti svinčnik za obrobo ustnic.
  • I’m Sailing je lepa nežna svetlo oranžkasta šminka. Morda bi jo lahko opisala kot svetlo barvo lososa. Tekstura je podobna rdeči. Prav tako je brez šimra. Tale je manj pigmentirana kot rdeča. Zelo uporabna vsakodnevna šminka.

V kolekciji so trije svinčniki za oči. Vsi vsebujejo šimer (ni bleščic). So luštni, a zame pretrdi. Veliko bolj bi mi bili všeč, če bi bili mehkejši.

  • Love Me Tender je olivne barve s “primesmi” barve staranega zlata.
  • I’m A Marine Girl je temno modre barve.
  • You’re A Heartbreaker je siva z modrim podtonom.

Ahoy! prosojen puder v prahu (za lep mat videz). Včeraj sem ga preizkusila na obrazu. Naredi dejansko lep svilen finiš. Kožo dejansko zmatira, nisem pa imela občutka, da bi izsuševal ali da bi mi obraz po nanosu zategovalo. Ima nežen in prijeten vonj. Všeč mi je!

Pet lakov za nohte. Mislim, da se je tokrat prvič zgodilo, da vidimo 15ml stekleničke od Essence!!!

  • Ahoy! je kerm bel lak. Moj čopič je potreboval frizerja. Sicer pa dober bel lak.
  • Back To The 50’s je krem (češnjevo) rdeča.
  • I’m A Marine Girl je šimrast temno moder lak.
  • Love Me Tender je frosti lak barve šampanjca (in malo kositrnega pridiha).
  • You’re A Heartbreaker je siv lak z drobnim šimrom raznih barv (srebrn, moder, zelen).

Za vas sem prav tako pripravila kratek film o vseh izdelkih, ki sem jih kupila. V videu se bolje vidi, kakšen je čopič in kakšen je puder v prahu. Prav tako so v videu narejeni swatchi svinčnikov za oči in šmink. Na koncu pa še lep pogled na lake za nohte. Upam, da boste v “razgledu” uživali. :biggrin:

Moj zaključek: Čopič je OK za blendanju (zabrisanje prehodov). Šminki sta luštni. Ena super vsakodnevna, druga klasična rdeča. In brez šimra. Svinčniki za oči so pretrdi. Prosojen puder v prahu mi je zelo všeč. Priporočam. Laki za nohte so mi všeč. Velik plus so velike stekleničke!!!


Gejba je kupila vsa senčila. Sledijo njene fotografije in misli …

Swatchi so narejeni čez bazo. Za temnejši del dueta sem uporabila 2 različni bazi.

01 I’m A Marine Girl: je mogoče duo, ki me je še najmanj navdušil. Svetlejša senčka je sicer lepe bežkaste barve, vendar je preveč šimrasta za moj okus. Večji šimer je samo površinska zadeva, tako da je senčka še vedno uporabna. Od pričakovane modre je ostalo bore malo – modro-vijola bi bil bolj pravilen opis tega senčila. Čez KIKO bazo je prišla senčka ven skoraj toplo vijola, medtem ko je Rival De Loop Young potegnila na plan več modre.

02 You’re A Heartbreaker: senčko sem v bistvu kupila le zaradi sive senčke. Všeč mi je bila struktura, ki je skoraj perlasta ter siva barva, ki rahlo povleče na modro. Bela polovica je čisto preveč šimrasta zame.

03 Come On Board Captain!: sivo-zelenkasto-bež svetlejša polovica je bila prvotni razlog, da sem se sploh ustavila pri 50’s Girls Reloaded stojalu (poleg svetlejše šminke :silly: ). Krasen odtenek in struktura, ki sem jo enostavno morala imeti. Temnejša senčka izgleda kot črno-modra baza z modrim šimrom. KIKO baza ni uspela poudariti šimra, je pa to uspelo Rival de Loop bazi.

  1. I can’t even explain how happy your positive responds for this review made me. I’ll do my best to do such reviews in the future as well. :wink:
    Thank you very much for all your comments!

  2. Barve šmink so mi zelo všeč zato sem jih tudi jaz testirala in ugotovila da sta zelo slabo obstojni pa še cez robove ustnic se mi razlivata. Bom pa na podlagi tega prispevka preizkusila še puder…

    • Se strinjam. Obstojnost je bolj švoh. Tudi meni se je potrdil sum, da se bosta razlivali čez rob. Pri svetli še ni problem, pri rdeči pa je liner res nujen. V glavnem … šminki čisto v stilu Essence kvalitete šmink. :D Puder pa mi je res všeč!
