Review and swatches: Essence – Eclipse Trend EditionOpis in ocena: Essence – Eclipse Trend Edition

Yay! I can finally present you swathes of the Eclipse TE. I have to say that it was a lot of work, because I wanted to show really good pictures and some ideas. Let me show you what I prepared for you. I have to warn you that there are tons of pictures included in the post. I hope you’ll like them. :wink:

First the picture I already showed you. All the things I swatched for you. :wink:

Let me start with nail polishes. There are five different shades in the collection.

Ready To Be Bitten? is a true surprise for me. It’s very nice semi sheer polish with glass flecked shimmer. I love it!

With one coat it’s a nice sheer polish …

… look at the nice glass flecked shimmer …

… with three coats it’s more opaque but you can still see the VNL. It doesn’t bother me. It’s so lovely, shy but noticeable, that you just have to love it. :wub:

Hide Bella Hide is another one that surprised me. I thought I wouldn’t like it at all, but I think it’s nice. It’s a frosty metallic silver shade. When you apply this shade, have in mind that you apply a frost and metallic shade. But for a metallic it’s really easy to apply. There are two coats shown in the picture below.

Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me is a berry shade. You say, another berry shade? Yes, but this time it isn’t a dupe of anything I have so far from Essence. This time it has a purple shimmer, which is hardly noticeable. Two coats shown in the picture below.

Thirsty? is a jelly dark red shade. Very pretty! Two coats shown in the picture below.

Last shade from the Eclipse collection is a shade everybody was excited to see. It’s a jelly black base with silver and purple glitter. Lovely but very dark, almost black. The glitter is of course more visible in the bottle, but it’s also noticeable on the nails. Let me present you Undead?

These were the polishes. Nice shades and no application issues.

Next are four lip glosses.

All are nice. My favourite is the red one, which is the most pigmented of them all. The applicator is bigger and very nice. I forgot to take pictures of the applicator. Sorry. But I’ll make it up to you with the first picture of my lips here on Parokeets. :blush: My lips are nothing to show off with, but I really wanted to show you this beautiful red lip gloss called Lunch At Cullen’s.

Ok, these were the lip glosses. Next are the swatches of the baked duo eyeshadows, which you can apply wet or dry. I swatched them dry and wet and over a base for you.

The eyeshadows are the biggest disappointment in the collection if you ask me. These are hard as a stone. I wouldn’t recommend using these without a base. These are OK over a base and best when applied wet. They also have some bigger silver particles, which I don’t like. All in all, I’d say that these aren’t worth buying unless you are going to use them wet.

Although I’m not fond of these eyeshadows I wanted to see if I can make a decent make up with them. I applied all of them over a base and the liner is applied wet.

OK, the make up isn’t bad, is it? The eyeshadows aren’t useless I guess, but are nothing to rave about.

I think the Eclipse collection is good. It has some really nice products. My top picks are: Lunch At Cullen’s lip gloss, Ready To Be Bitten? nail polish and Undead? nail polish.

Please let me know what are your thoughts about the collection?

I hope you liked my presentation. I have to say I’m exhausted. :fju:

p.s.2: We hit 300 GFC followers! :w00t: Thank you! We will soon start our huge giveaway. Be prepared. :wink:Juhej! Končno mi je uspelo in lahko vam pokažem fotografije najnovejše trend edicije znamke Essence z imenom Eclipse. S to kolekcijo sem si zadala resnično ogromno dela, saj sem vam želela kolekcijo čim bolje predstaviti. Upam, da boste s predstavitvijo zadovoljni. Naj vas že v naprej opozorim, da je tale prispevek prav nabasan s fotografijami in resnično upam, da vam bodo všeč. :wink:

Za začetek fotografija, ki sem vam jo že včeraj pokazala. Fotografija vseh izdelkov, ki sem jih za vas preizkusila in jih bom v tem prispevku predstavila. :wink:

Najprej vam predstavljam lake za nohte. V tej kolekciji je kar pet različnih odtenkov.

Ready To Be Bitten? je bil zame pravo presenečenje. Gre za srednje prosojen odtenek z “glass flecked” šimrom. Torej šimer, ki spominja na drobce stekla. Izredno mi je všeč!

Z eno plastjo izgleda čisto luštno in prosojno …

… poglejte si te “drobce stekla” …

… s tremi plastmi dosežemo sredno prosojnost, a ne popolne prekrivnosti. Začuda me srednja prosojnost ne moti. Izgleda prav lutšno, nežno, a vseeno opazno lesketajoče. Zelo mi je všeč! :wub:

Hide Bella Hide je naslednji odtenek, ki me je presenetil v pozitivnem smislu. Ko sem ga videla, sem bila prepričana, da mi pod nobenim pogojem ne bo všeč, a sploh ni slab. Gre za srebrn odtenek s frost kovinskim finišem. Ko ga boste nanašali, vseeno ne pozabite na previdnost, saj nanašate kovinski odtenek s frost finišem. A za kovinski odtenek se izredno lepo nanaša. Na fotografiji spodaj sta dve plasti.

Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me je temno malinast odtenek. Zagotovo ste že naveličani malinastih odtenkov pri Essence trend edicijah. Tudi jaz. A tale vsaj ni dvojček katerega koli odtenka, ki ga že imam od znamke Essence. Tale vsebuje vijoličen droben šimer, ki je sicer zelo neopazen. Na fotografiji spodaj sta dve plasti.

Thirsty? je temnejša rdeča z jelly finišem. Lep! Ponovno dve plasti na fotografiji spodaj.

Zadnji lak iz Eclipse kolekcije je odtenek, ki smo ga vsi nestrpno pričakovali. Gre za odtenek s črno jelly bazo in srebrnimi ter vijoličnimi bleščicami. Lep, a zelo temen. Skoraj črn. Bleščice se v steklenički zelo opazne, na nohtih seveda manj, a vseeno jih ni treba iskati z lupo. :thumb: Naj vam predstavim … Undead?

To si bili laki za nohte. Luštni odtenki in nobenih težav pri nanašanju.

Naslednji so na vrsti glosi za ustnice.

Vsi so mi všeč. Nekateri sicer manj kot drugi, a v splošnem so kar posrečeni. Moj absolutni favorit je čudovit in dobro pigmentiran rdeč glos. Aplikatorji so nekoliko večji, kot smo jih do sedaj vajeni. Meni so zelo všeč. Žal sem aplikator pozabila fotografirati. :blush: Se opravičujem! Poskušala se vam bom oddložiti s čisto prvo fotografijo mojih ustnic tukaj na blogu. :blush: Moje ustnice so popolnoma podpovprečne in čisto nič, s čemer bi se hvalila, a kaj naj? Takšne pač so. Majhne in funkcionalne. :biggrin: Torej, resnično sem vam želela pokazati tale čudovit rdeč glos z imenom Lunch At Cullen’s.

Sledijo fotografije in opisi dvojnih senčil, ki jih lahko našate z mokrim ali suhim nanosom. Za vas sem pripravila fotografije vsakega senčila z suhim in mokrim nanosom ter nanosom čez bazo.

Priznam, da so skoraj največje razočaranje te trend edicije prav ta senčila za oči, saj so izredno trda. Res, skoraj kot kamen trda in za moje pojme so za suh nanos brez baze popolnoma neustrezna, saj od sebe ne dajo čisto nič barve. Z njimi se da doseči zadovoljiv izgled, če jih uporabimo čez kakšno bazo. Najbolje in najintenzivneje pa izgledajo, če jih uporabimo z mokrim nanosom. Prav tako mi niso všeč nekoliko večji srebrni delci v senčilih. Ne vem, ali bi jih lahko že imenovala bleščice, a vseeno gre za nekaj večjega, ki se ne oprime dobro podlage in frči naokrog. V splošnem nakup senčil ne priporočam. Oziroma jih priproročam le, če jih nameravate uporabljati z mokrim nanosom.

Čeprav nad senčili niti približno nisem navdušena, sem jim želela dati eno “fer” možnost in sem z njimi ustvarila “make up”. Vsa senčila so nanesena čez bazo. Črtalo (liner) je nanesen z mokrim nanosom.

OK, “make up” je celo dokaj vredu izpadel. Kaj menite? Vejretno senčila le niso popolnoma napačna, ampak niso pa čisto nič strašno zanimivega ali posrečenega.

Sama Eclipse kolekcija sicer ni slaba, a ni zelo veliko reči, ki bi me do onemoglosti navdušile. Moji favoriti so: Lunch At Cullen’s glos za ustnice, Ready To Be Bitten? lak za nohte and Undead? lak za nohte.

Prosim, v komentarjih mi napišite, kako se VAM zdi kolekcija? Izredno me zanima, kaj si mislite o njej? Ali jo boste lovili ali se vam zdi, da tega enostavno ni vredna?

Upam, da vam je bila moja predstavitev všeč. Priznam, da sem zdaj resnično izmučena. :fju:
