I bought some new stuff from Essence and Alverde today. I don’t have much time to blog and since I haven’t actually tried any of my new stuff this won’t be a real review, but I have some quick swatches for you and some of my first and quick thoughts of the products.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I bought …<\/p>\n

\"Alverde<\/a>
Alverde – Feel The Summer TE and Baked Eyeshadows and Essence stuff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

… and here are the swatches …<\/p>\n

\"Swatches:<\/a>
Essence – Smokey Eyes Sets: So What?! and Punk Vibe, Blackmania carbon black liquid eyeliner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I love the Essence Smokey Eyes Sets – at least I love the brown one, which I have for quite some time now. The eyeshadow is highly pigmented and soft. The gel eyeliner is nothing to be very excited about but it’s OK for a base. The black set seems to be similar quality.<\/p>\n

\"Swatches:<\/a>
Essence – 14 Irresistible Metallic Effect Eyeshadow, Alverde Baked Eyeshadows – Silky Grey and Green Jewel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I tested the new baked eyeshadows by Alverde at the store I was impressed. These are soft and highly pigmented. And there are some nice shades to choose from. I bought two. And the Essence eyeshadow is also soft and pigmented. I was impressed really as I thought that Essence eyeshadows were crap. I bought this one mainly to try to include it in a smokey eyes look. <\/p>\n

Last swatch I have for you today is swatch of the Bronzing Mousse from Alverde. It’s from their new collection called Feel The Summer.<\/p>\n

\"Swatch:<\/a>
Alverde – Feel The Summer TE – Bronzing Mousse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s a very lousy swatch, sorry for that. I don’t have much to say about this product. It’s very very soft. Other than that … I have to try it first. It seems nice on the hand, but we’ll see how it’ll perform on the face. Oh and one thing … It has a coconut smell. Nice.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the first picture I also bought two gloss tubes from the Feel The Summer collection, but the swatches came out … let’s say “not presentable”. A few words instead of pictures. Glosses are very sheer and all are scented with different scents.<\/p>\n

I hope these items won’t dissapoint me in the future. For now I’m satisfied.<\/p>\n

Do you maybe already have any of these items? What’s your opinion? Do you like them?<\/p>\n

p.s. Click on the pictures to make them bigger. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
