Beauty Brand Spotlight-Essence Cosmetics Part 2

Morning all!

This is part 2 of my focus on Essence Cosmetics.  This is about the nail polishes and other miscellaneous items.

I've found Essence does great nail polishes.  There are some misses (i've found 1 or 2 that are streaky and don't last for long), but normally i know i'll love anything i pick up from the brand.  They have a range of effects and they try to keep up with the latest trends.  Limited Editions (LE) can get repetitive at times (same colours) but the regular range (RR) have a great range of colours and styles.  Any way, i'll let you make up your own mind.

Essence Gel Nails At Home Kit - I won't go in to too much detail, as i've already reviewed it.  However it's quick, easy, and you can use any Essence nail polish with it.

Colours to the side so you can see some of the glitters

As you can see, Essence do a huge range of coloura and styles, and you can find something to suit almost everyone.

Essence also bring out a few different things in Australia, like....

Perfume!  This came out with the Circus Circus LE, and is called (surprisingly) Circus Circus.  It's in a gorgeous bottle, with a beautiful maroon spray thingy (yep, very technical here), and is a very sweet, fruity perfume.  It was sold for $9.90 here, and for the price it is a great perfume (overseas there are more perfumes). 

There have also been handcreams here, which smelt beautiful and were non greasy.

So there you go, Essence as a whole.  A great budget brand, with something for everyone.
