Spring makeup haul: ESSENCE (lip glosses, mascaras, nail polishes...)

In Europe, Essence is known as a very affordable brand, and to my satisfaction most of their products are available both in Greece and Serbia. Target group are the younger generations, so the packaging is very trendy, simple and irresistibly charming!

Essence je u Evropi poznat kao vrlo pristupacan brend, i na moje zadovoljstvo vecina njihovih proizvoda je dostupna i u Grckoj i u Srbiji. Ciljna grupa jesu mladje generacije, stoga su i sva pakovanja vrlo trendi, jednostavna i neodoljivo simpaticna!

Half of the products you see in the pictures I bought in Greece and the other half in Serbia! Shopping list includes:

- XXXL lip glosses: two with glossy effect in coral and pink shades (spring perfection!) and one with a matte finish in nude shade. Glossy ones are very dense, slightly sticky, they smell great and remain long on the lips, while the lip gloss with matte-effect has a creamy texture and it's lighter than the first two glosses.

- Long-lasting lipstick in a light brown (better say nude) color, which is not quite as long-lasting as it should be, but it doesn't dry the lips and the shade is great. 

- Two "top-coat" nail polishes, one with sequins that matches perfectly with any base polish in a brighter color, and one with the "sand-effect" which I haven't tried yet.

- Two mascaras: one with an innovative brush that rotates (although I prefer to use it in the usual way), and one for "multi-effect" which is drier than the previous one and has a larger brush that very finely separates the lashes.

- Concealer that has a dry texture, which personally fits me perfectly because I don't have to additionally use pressed/loose powder in order to set the concealer.

Polovinu proizvoda koje vidite na slikama sam kupila u Grckoj, a polovinu u Srbiji! Shopping lista ukljucuje:

- XXXL sjajeve za usne: dva sa glossy efektom u koralnoj i pink nijansi (prolecno savrsenstvo!) i jedan sa mat efektom u "nude" nijansi. Glossy sjajevi su vrlo gusti, pomalo lepljivi, sjajno mirisu i dugo ostaju na usnama, dok je sjaj sa mat-efektom kremaste teksture i laganiji od prva dva sjaja.

- Dugotrajan ruz za usne u svetlo braon boji, koji nije bas tako dugotrajan, ali ne isusuje usne i nijansa je sjajna.

- Dva "top-coat" laka za nokte, jedan sa sljokicama koji se odlicno uklapa sa bilo kojim bazicnim lakom u svetlijoj boji, i jedan sa "pescanim-effektom" koji jos nisam probala.

- Dve maskare: jedna sa inovativnom cetkicom koja se rotira (mada ja preferiram da je koristim na uobicajen nacin), i jedna za "multi-efekat" koja je suvlja od prethodne i ima vecu cetkicu koja vrlo fino razdvaja trepavice. 

- Korektor koji je suve teksture sto meni licno savrseno odgovara, jer nakon nanosenja ne moram da dodatno koristim puder u kamenu/prahu da bih fiksirala korektor.
