Essence - Advent Calender: Winner

Hey!

So as you might know Essence is doing a funny thing until Christmas day, which is everyday they make a question and if you answer correctly you're able to win that day's prize. I was lucky enough to be one of the winners.
Honestly I had never won anything like this so I guess is fair to say Essence took my virginity in these kind of give aways.

Now to the prize:

From top to left to right:

• My Skin: Refreshing Toner
• My Skin: Cooling Eye Roll-On
• My Skin: Soft Cleaning Gel
• My Skin: Intensively Caring Cream
• My Skin: Tinted Moisturizer for light skin

As you can understand easily all the products belong to the My Skin line. I haven't tried any of these goodies so I'm soo excited to try now that I've time without school and all that stuff.

If you're curious about any of the products check this brochure. I'm sure it'll help you.

Thus I'll be writing my opinion on each one during the next days.

For now, I'm just thanking Essence for doing these give aways and picking me as a winner ;)

Essence - Glowing In The Dark Topper

Hi!

I don't know about you, but I frequently visit the Essence's little club - Beauty Friends. Well, there we can see first-hand all the future products that are going to make us spend all our money.
There's a few items going away but I'm hoping the ones coming to be pretty good, so I'm not too sad.

So far, the only product I can say I'm defenetly going to buy is the Glowing In The Dark nail polish.

Yeah, who wants glowing fingers at night?!

Huhm... I do.

The nail polish costs only 1.89€, ha... what's not to like?

Christmas Nails

Hello!

I was painting my nails with my classic black when I caught myself thinking we're almost on Christmas time and maybe was fun make a theme nails. Obviously I went online and found some pretty ideas that might inspire you as they did to me.

Are you going to paint your nails with something Christmas related?

Essence - Fall/Winter 2011

Heya!

I don't know if everyone knows but Essence has a little "club" where anybody can register and share some opinions with other girls around the world. I am one of those girls. But there we are informed about all the new products that will be available next season which is pretty cool and you don't have to be register to read anything which is pretty cool, too.
So, they are sharing one new product that will be out in September everyday. Every new day they will show a new goodie.

One of them was this mascara:

So far this is one of my favourites.
It has a mechanism that creates 2 differents looks just like the Maybelline one, but I bet this is cheeper.
Curious? Click here.

Up to now they showed:

• Cracking nail polish - "Crack me! Blue" <3
• Cracking nail polish - "Crack me! Silver"
• Changing colour lip glosses - Tint It! 
• Nail Art freestyle & tip painter
• Stay all day long lasting eyeshadows <3

I really want to try these 3.

Are excited about any of them?

Essence - 50's Girls Reloaded

Heya!

Essence showed already the new collection for Summer - 50's Girls Reloaded.

From duo eyeshadows, lipsticks, eyes-pencils, nail polishes and a special brush this collection guarantees that every girl can have a style just like the 50's.

I have to say that the 50's is my favourite style so I'm super excited about all of this but mostly about...

... the translucent loose powder. It provides your skin a matt effect and goes with any type of skin which is awesome!

I'm so gonna buy this!

Tell me your opinion about this collection in the comments ;)

Essence - You Rock!

Heya!

I don't know if I already said it here or not, but I don't like Summer. Yeah, I don't. But music festivals makes me forget all about that.
So, my friend told today about this thing called "You Rock!", which is the new Essence collection. The goal was to create products that you can wear at a Summer concert, I thought that was so cool!

If you may know or not, as many people, I'm going to 2 festivals this Summer, so this "popped" to my eyes.
I'm really happy to try the "Refreshing Spray". I think that's a great idea, because the normal refreshing sprays are a bit expensive and I kind of feel bad for using it on a concert.

Tell what you think about this ;)

Essence - Black Fatal

Hello!

Recently I bought the black Fatal nail polish by Essence.

I'm loving it!

I only paint my nails with black, the darkest purple I found, "black cherry" (if that is even a colour name) and any shade of blue. I don't like reds or pinks.

All my blacks were never shinny and I'd pass a thousand times just to be more "shimmery" which turned to be the worst thing ever because the polish chips faster that it normally would when you pass one or two times. But this one is awesome! It's super shinny and stays for days, mine is already 5 days and still looks great and most important thing: the price. Super cheap.

I think I found my black.

Girly Talk Again, Ups!

Heya!

Today I'm going to talk about very girly stuff, like make-up, skin products, I think you already got the idea.

So, I recently discover a brand called Essence.

                    

It's very cheap and the quality is great for the price of the products. And one awesome fact is they don't make tests in animals! It's great! I clap my hands to them!

It's a funny brand. Once in a while they have especial/limited editions and their packaging of every single product is soo cute. It's like impossible don't like anything. 

Some exemples:

They had the Denim Wanted in September 2010. Everything was denim/jeans related.

The Eclipse collection in July 2010.

Recently, in January to February 2011, the Black & White and I Love Berlin collections.  If you go here you can see all theirs previously collections.

Like MAC or any other brand they give names to lipsticks and eye shadows or whatever and so does Essence. I think their names are adorable! 

It's cool, because they change their collection sometimes, but they keep the basics still. Like if you go to the website and click on products, you'll will find this where is explained in a simple way every category and what exists in it. The site is very easy to search. 

And what I'm most exited to try is theirs skin products, because my skin isn't that good, I have some breakouts and scars, yeah, isn't good.

OMG! They have 3 categories about Pure Skin, as they call it, Clean, Care and Cover.  

• Clean - "a thorough cleansing ritual is the first step towards gorgeous, clear skin! Essence pure skin has developed perfectly aligned products that are especially aimed at the special requirements of young skin. Ideal for the care of your skin!"
• Care - "essence pure skin is a highly effective and thorough care programme for day and night! after cleansing, your skin needs some pampering. moisturizing is super important so that your skin can relax and effectively absorb all the active ingredients."
• Cover - "essence pure skin has lots of light anti-bacterial cover-up products so you can create a gorgeous and enchanting make-up looks without having to worry about bothersome spots and blemishes. thecover-up products give you a perfect matt complexion and guarantee reliable coverage for hours! these products won’t block your pores and they also prevent the appearance of new skin imperfections."

Like I said my skin isn't perfect so I'm really happy to, especially, try the Cover part, because I already have a routine for my skin and my skin is way better now, but sometimes I need something to cover that up.

Like the Pure Teint Mousse Make Up, I'm definitely exited to try that out!

Oh! And if you Sign In, you get Newsletter and belong to the Beauty Friends community.

I'm thinking to buy some stuff in the next days, so later I tell my opinion about them.
May be a big post but not that important, wow!
