It is crazy to think that it’s been 15 years since the brand Essence was launched<\/strong>. Essence has been featured on our blog many many times since the beginning. In fact there’s over 400\u00a0blog posts marked with Essence category on Parokeets<\/strong>. Crazy, right? I guess that shows that we have been obsessed with the brand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s\u00a0take a walk down the memory lane, shall we? I guess not a lot of our current readers remember the days when we started writing Parokeets blog. You know over\u00a08 years ago\u00a0not a lot of people in Slovenia were talking about Essence. Not a lot of people were stopping at the stand. Not a lot people had the faith in their products. Probably because of incredible low prices. And low prices usually mean poor quality. Well, I was also very skeptical at first. Back then\u00a0I was crazy into nail polishes. I bought almost every single nail polish\u00a0I could find around here. The stranger colors the better. And Essence was one of the few brands that actually had some fun colors to offer<\/strong>. And they were constantly bringing out new ones. That’s how and that’s why my love affair with\u00a0Essence<\/strong> started. I still have a big drawer full of Essence nail polishes. Here are just a few I took out of the drawer. Who remembers these?<\/p>\n

And the more nail polishes I bought, the more I wrote about them, the more people started to buy them. At least here in Slovenia. At one point it got a bit crazy. It was in those days when Essence was only available in Muller drugstores and Beauty World.\u00a0I remember days\u00a0when I was chasing down all the limited editions<\/strong>. Especially the nail polishes. And as soon as I got home I swatched them all and immediately started to write a blog post about my newest acquisitions. I am pretty sure that Parokeets blog was one of the main contributors\u00a0why Essence gained more and more fans in Slovenia<\/strong>. Limited editions were sold out immediately.\u00a0So, … many years later and Essence is still very popular in Slovenia. Luckily\u00a0nowadays it is easier to get all the limited editions as Essence is available in most of the stores where make up is sold. Huray! I am extremely happy that the brand is so successful. Last but not least I just have to mention our lovely\u00a0Natalija<\/strong>. She is the brand manager\u00a0for Essence here in Slovenia.\u00a0Her passion for the brand is admirable.<\/strong>\u00a0Working\u00a0with her is a pleasure. “Natalija, keep up the good work!”<\/p>\n
