  • “One product I feel like I will keep trying, but I initially I'm kind of thinking I'll probably pass on is the concealer. Under eyes are very particular though, so keep that in mind. Not bad. Like definitely tried much worse concealers”

Bright Eyes! Under Eye Stick
Brand note

Essence is the drugstore brand that keeps surprising creators with how good the formulas are for the money. The Super Peptide Glossy Lip Treatment comes up most often — a non-sticky, high-shine gloss with a smooth, hydrating feel that people compare favorably to high-end options. The Soft Touch Butter Bronzer also gets consistent praise for its soft, blurring, easy-to-blend texture. The main trade-off across the line is limited shade ranges, which creators note can exclude a lot of skin tones.
