Essence Haul



Hello Lovelies!
So today I went shopping in town and I popped into Wilkinson's. For those of you who don't know, Wilkinson's is one of those shops that sells a bit of everything really. In the past couple of days though they have opened a whole new beauty section and are now selling drugstore makeup. One of the brands they stock is Essence, which isn't available in UK drugstores, and by the looks of their website Wilko's is the only store stocking their products. So with such colourful products and fab prices it would've been a crime to leave empty handed!


All Eyes on Me Waterproof Mascara 
As you guys know I'm always on the hunt for a mascara that's perfect for my short (barley there) lashes, so I had to try out an Essence mascara. I picked this one up for £2.00, as for me it always has to be waterproof. The description says this mascara gives extra volume, length, curl thickness and separation, so I can't wait to try it out.


Blush Up! Powder Blush - 10 Heatwave 
I picked up this blush for £3.50. The bright gradient colours caught my eye as I was looking through the products and I just had to buy this blush. When I swatched it I was really impressed by the quality and how pigmented the powder was too! I like the simple packaging, it's quite a sturdy compact so you can throw it into your bag.


Essence Blush Brush 
I feel you can never have too many brushes, so I picked up an Essence blush brush for £2.80. The bristles are lovely and soft and the angle of the brush will really sculpt your cheeks. The brush is a great size for putting in your bag for on the go touch ups, and again is such great quality for the price.


Colour & Go Nail Varnish - 128 Let's Get Lost
I got really excited over the nail varnish as they had so many pretty colours and styles. I picked up this lovely summery blue shade for just £1.60. I noticed they had some pretty professional stuff, and I would love to buy their gel nails at home kit.

Overall I am really impressed by what Essence has on offer and can't wait to try out what I have bought. What do you guys think about Essence? Let me know in the comments :)
