Essence make up review (Wilkos)

Recently I took a trip to wilkinson'a (wilkos) I didn't realise they had make up stands such as Maybeliene, Rimmel, Collection, Maxfactor and Essence. I was so excited have a browse and swatch at the Essence products. Heres what i brought and what i thought…haha rhymes ;)



Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow 18 - £2.50

I love eyeshadow actually I'm obsessed with eyeshadow and when I saw these metallic glittery goodness I had to swatch! They are very glittery more than metallic but I assumed that was because I was sticking my fingers in it in the shop and not using a brush. 

 I choose to buy the shade choco chic because it was a brown/bronze colour and those are my favourites.  Above I have taken a picture after just applying it. I used flash because you couldn't quite see the colour payoff without. The glitter in the pan seems to disappear after you used the eyeshadow a few times which is a little disappointing because I like the glitter. I do you really like this Eyeshadow, it seems to have little fallout which is good for the price and bonus it's very long-lasting I don't really use a primer with it and it doesn't seem to crease so thumbs up for that!! 

Essence Make me brow 02 - £2.50

I have been looking for something less pricier to replace my Benefit Gimme Brow (£18.50).  I've tried a few "drugstore" alternatives such as the Rimmel Brow this way Gel..its awful! However this Essence eyebrow gel is a little closer to the Benefit one, the brush wand is pretty much the same thats why i like it because its a small applicator. I use this for ease and quickness...you know those days!

Essence longlasting lipstick 07 - £2.30

I loved these lipsticks when i swatched them in store. I'm obsessed with brown and pink nudes at the moment so when I swatched these two lipsticks they were perfect colour wise. They claim to be long-lasting however I found they only lasted a couple of hours... if eating not at all! I tried them with a lip liner also and that didn't seem to make a difference. 

Essence Longlasting Lipstick Nude 05 - £2.30

The finish of these are quite sheer, they feel a little bit like a balm. What put me off the most when wearing them is the smell. They smell really cheap...well I suppose they are only £2.30! They definitely aren't my favourite but probably worth a try if you're starting out with makeup or experimenting with lipstick shades, this way you're not spending too much money.

Essence Lipliner 06 Satin mauve - £1.00

This was my bargain buy at £1.00 it's a blooming good liner! It's one of those Kylie Jenner shades actually it's a perfect Kylie Jenner shade! It's creamy and easy to apply it also sharpens well which In the past I've found some liners don't. I wouldn't say it's very long-lasting which is something that I do like in a Lipliner/base, but then I wasn't expecting much for £1.00. I'm definitely going to buy more shades and see how they go because I like this one :). 

Let me know if you have tried anything from essence and if there's anything you recommend...
