  • Essence Cosmetics Eyeshadows Review











    I have been such a huge fan of Essence Cosmetics lately! I recently received a package from them filled with their new collection and I’ve fallen head over heels for all of their products! I will have a bucketload of more Essence posts in the future but today, I will be talking all bout their new eyeshadows!

    The first palette I tried out is the Essence All About Chocolate palette. I have tried Essence eyeshadows in the past, but I have never been wowed about them, so they must have changed their formula because this palette is so beautiful! It’s a six-shade palette filled with neutral shades. I actually brought this palette with me to a four-day business conference with no other eyeshadows and it was perfect! It had all the shades I could need! I absolutely love the lightest cream shade for all over my eyes and the middle greyish taupe for the crease! It created such a natural, pretty eye look!

    The next shadow is the Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow in the shade #07 Golden Up. This is such a pretty shadow! It’s heavily packed with glitter so I will probably reserve this eyeshadow for special occasions, the pigmentation and formula is absolutely fantastic! It applies so smoothly. This will be the perfect New Year’s Eve eyeshadow for next year!

    I also got to try out the Essence All About Paradise eyeshadow palette. At first glance, I was a little intimidated by the shades. The yellow and orange shades just seemed a little bit too crazy for me. But once I swatched them, they turned out to be so much prettier than I originally thought. The yellow turned out to be a gorgeous warm-toned gold and the orange was more of a golden coral. I think these shadows will create such a fun eye look! Plus, their formula is just as smooth and beautiful as the other Essence shadows!
