AFFORDABLE AT ULTA: NEW Essence Makeup GRWM
Essence$6.99Balm of Sunshine Face & Body Glow Balmshade · 20 Séduction du Soleil- “It feels like a Jones Road Miracle Balm type of thing, like you push into it, you get things kind of liquefied and it feels actually sort of thin instead of balmy”▶ 1:20
- “Scent on this. Why does it smell just a little bit like vanilla? I like that”▶ 1:46
- “But there's a sheerness to this bronzer balm, too. Like I wouldn't rely on it to literally do a lot of contouring on my skin”
- “Feels hydrating, but the color payoff is pretty gentle here”
- “I think it's making that foundation stick just seem a little more at home on my skin”
- “The Balm of Sunshine Face and Body Glow Balm worked in nicely, gave my skin a little more freshness alongside a foundation stick that was probably a little light for me. So I think that did well”▶ 1:06
Essence$6.99Foundation Stickshade · 160- “I would say it's kind of like that medium coverage”▶ 3:41
- “Staying power that I've experienced here was actually pretty good, especially where it was set”▶ 3:43
- “It's a nice, really thin, easy-to-blend texture”▶ 3:50
- “When you think of a cream foundation stick, don't think thick, creamy drag. It's super easy to work with, but my skin seems to really benefit from a setting powder involved with it, too”▶ 3:52
- “My foundation stick and my concealer were not new products, so I knew what I was getting into there. Like medium coverage on the foundation stick”▶ 24:24
Essence$5.99Silky Blur Hydrating Longwear Concealershade · 100- “I've gotten along really well with this stuff”▶ 4:15
- “I feel like the coverage is nice. It does not feel too heavy on my skin”
- “I feel like a lot of people really love this concealer. It seems to have been getting some really good reviews”
- “Fair price, able to really cover well”▶ 5:41
- “I feel like it may not be absolutely as opaque. Like when I think about Shape Tape-ish concealers... It's like a small step down from what those are doing”
- “For me right now, I feel like this is plenty”
- “A solid I would say full coverage on the concealer. Just a little bit more lightweight on the skin compared to some of the other really full coverage concealer options”▶ 24:32
- “It is truly mattifying. I'm seeing that for sure”▶ 7:00
- “I'm not wild about the way that's sitting on my nose. The way it's setting the foundation, for some reason I'm seeing the foundation. Like it looks makeup-y on my nose”▶ 7:10
- “My under eyes feel really set”
- “I think this silky blur powder is a very mattifying powder”
- “The Silky blur translucent setting powder, just know this is a very matte powder and I think it can maybe add to a little look of dryness on your skin perhaps. Maybe I need to use it with just a little lighter hand going forward. I don't know. I'm kind of getting a little goes a long way feel with that thing”
Essence$8.99Radiant Light Face Paletteshade · Signature Light- “We are not short on pigment here. Gentle swatches and I've got loads”▶ 8:34
- “I think this is totally going to get the job done”▶ 8:46
- “To me, I mean in just touching and swatching them at first, they feel much more pigmented than Hourglass powders, more immediately like heavy-duty on color”▶ 9:58
- “Wow, guys. Watch out. I tapped off excess. I tapped off on my hand and I really only just gently dabbed it in, but I've got loads. I'm blending and blending, but I've got a serious cheek here now”▶ 10:43
- “Caution, caution, high pigment zone”▶ 11:26
- “The bronzer was great in here for me and the highlight's doing awesome, too”▶ 12:46
- “Extreme pigment with this palette. So, I got the darker of the two shades cuz it was the only one they had. You guys saw this went on with a lot of intensity”▶ 25:13
Essence$3.99Baby Got Brow! Eyebrow Pencilshade · Brunette- no stillColourPop$9.00
- “Sometimes it has so much gel on the tip when I take it out, but just brush up a little bit with that”
Essence$14.99- “Plenty of pigment. I feel like the light shade's going to totally hold its own. The shimmers seem very smooth. Nothing squirrely going on there”▶ 16:34
- “I feel like this formula might be even softer and better”▶ 17:05
- “The shadows are just nice and soft”▶ 17:38
- “I feel like it might be applying just a little lighter than it seems in the palette. Don't you think? Not saying it's bad, but it's just not quite as dark as I thought, but I can build it a little bit and see”▶ 17:41
- “I think it's good. I think there's so much softness really with these shades just in terms of the texture. You know, they're not hard to work with, not hard at all to blend. But I wouldn't have minded a little more intensity out of the that deepest one”▶ 19:18
- “I feel like the deepest shade in this rose quad ended up being a bit softer than I anticipated, but it still turned out a really pretty and I think flattering look”▶ 25:47
Mono Eyeshadow Pearlyshade · Bronzed Espresso- “The texture is incredibly good here. And look at that shade. Oh, I just feel like that would make an amazing one shadow look”▶ 16:00
- “I'm very excited to do a one shadow look with that”
Essence$4.99- “My immediate thought is that it looks like it is wanting to define everything. It's not applying tons of product right out of the gate, but it's not clumping anything together at all, which is kind of nice to see”▶ 20:35
- “I'm seeing a lot of length. I'll get close in in a second, but wow. That second coat is giving me a lot of additional length over here. I don't feel like it's dropping my curl”▶ 21:40
- “If you get this and you go on with that first coat and you feel like, 'Ah, it's just one of those natural religious defining mascaras.' Please continue on with another coat because that's where the magic starts to happen”
- “I just feel like compared to Elf Lash Extender, it's giving me a little bit more of a big lash look, you know? It's definitely more lengthening”▶ 22:15
- “Honestly, the mascaras really jumping out at me. I love how lengthening that turned out to be. Um, just really tremendous length. Did not totally drop my curl”▶ 23:52
- “I feel like perhaps what impressed me most in this video and just immediately knocked my socks off most was probably this mascara”▶ 25:54
Essence$4.99Juicy Bomb Shiny Lip Glossshade · Choco-Lot to Handle- “Ooh, it's going to be real brownish. Real brown. Okay, I'm going to blend that in a little bit. Kind of liking it though”▶ 22:50
- “That's super cute with this look actually”
Essence$4.99Hydra Kiss Lip Oilshade · Pink Champagne- “Smells good. Real shiny. Oh yeah, that's good. Nice thickness to that too. It feels comfy but yet I don't feel like it's going to just slip right outside my lips”▶ 23:34
