Review and swatches: Essence Circus Circus TEOpis in ocena: Essence Circus Circus TE

Essence Circus Circus trend edition reached our country. Well, most of it. We’re missing one nail polish shade – no. 02 Don’t feed the tiger. :shock:

Creme part of nail polish duos are fantastic. They’re easy to apply and glide onto the nail, are one coaters and I didn’t need to use fast drying top coat at all. :bow:

In all swatches I used one coat of base polish and one thicker coat of glitter top coat.

Best one is black part of Essence My Sparkling Acrobat duo. Gold glitter? Mnjah – squares, hexagons … Now if the added flakies … :w00t:

Red combo was probably my favorite. Essence Applause, Applause glitter is more subtle and it doesn’t stand out as gold on the black does.

Essence Cotton Candy nail polish duo doesn’t have any large square or hexagon glitter, but seems to sparkle the most. :biggrin:

Stay all day eyeshadows I simply loved. My favorite color-wise is It’s Magic – gold shade. It spreads easily and works great as secondary primer on my oily eyelids.

Essence Raise The Curtain For … will probably be the one that I’ll use the most. Color is not as green as on the photo – it’s more brownish.

My Sparkling Acrobat I got for my birthday so I already wore it couple of times. I used 2 coats in the below photo, you can see how one coat looks at the video. This creme eyeshadow reminds me formula-wise of Ballerina Backstage Grand-plie in black, but it has longer staying power and lots of fine shimmer. I like it mainly because it deepens the color of the powder eyeshadows I use over it.

While It’s Magic is easily applied with the brush, other two seem to need little bit more heat to spread easily … I guess cold weather doesn’t agree with them. :silly:

See anything worth buying from Essence Circus Circus TE?Essence Circus Circus trend edition se počasi pojavlja tudi pri nas. Na žalost pa Mullerji niso dobili vsega. Manjka namreč lak št. 02 Don’t feed the tiger. :shock:

Krem odtenki v duo lakih so enkratni. Enostavno se nanašajo, za popolno prekrivanje zadostuje ena plast, za piko na i pa mi sploh ni bilo potrebno uporabiti hitro-sušečega nadlaka. :bow:

Pri vseh swatchih sem uporabila eno plast krem baze in eno plast bleščičastega nadlaka.

Najboljši krem odtenek je črni lak iz Essence My Sparkling Acrobat dvojčka. Zlate bleščice? Mnjah – kvadrati, šestkotniki … Če bi uporabili krpice, bi moj obraz izgledal nekako takole :w00t: .

Rdeča kombinacija mi je verjetno še najbolj pri srcu. Rdeče bleščice na rdeči podlagi so le malo bolj moj stil kot zlate na črni podlagi … Essence Applause, Applause.

Essence Cotton Candy dvojček nima velikih kvadratnih in šestkotnih bleščic, se pa zanimivo še najbolj lesketa. :biggrin:

Stay all day eyeshadows oz. kremna senčila za oči so me čisto navdušila. Moj najljubši odtenek (če govorimo o barvi), je It’s Magic. Krasna zlata barva, ki je enkratna sekundarna podlaga na mojih mastnih vekah.

Essence Raise The Curtain For … pa bo najverjetneje najbolj v uporabi. Gre namreč za zelo uporaben odtenek, ki pa ni tako zelen kot na spodnji fotografiji.

My Sparkling Acrobat sem prejela za rojstno-dnevno darilo, tako da sem ga imela že nekajkrat priložnost preizkusiti. Na swatchu sem uporabila 2 plasti, kako izgleda ena sama, pa si lahko ogledate videoposnetku. Senčilo me rahlo spominja na Ballerina Backstage Grand-plie in black, vendar je bolj obstojno in polno finega šimra. Všeč mi je predvsem za poglobitev barve senčila v prahu (ali stisnjenega), ki ga nanesem čeznjo.

It’s Magic sem brez večjih težav nanesla s čopičem, medtem ko preostali senčili potrebujeta malo več toplote … očitno jima nižje temperature ne ustrezajo najbolje :silly:

  1. Great swatches, I loved the nail polish in My Sparkling Acrobat and the eyeshadows as well! Which brush are you using on the video to apply them? I tend to apply my cream shadows with my fingers but it can get messy… :)

    • It’s one of the Abbamart Bubinga Toray Creme Eyeshadow brushes … not sure if it’s medium or large.
      I pretty much always apply eyeshadows with brushes … otherwise I’m bound to wear it somewhere else that intended. :biggrin:
