Obsessing over Essence | Beauty
It's no hidden fact that I'm a huge fan of Essence beauty products. Not only are they super affordable, the quality is insane. I previously did a post on my favourite Essence beauty products (I'll link it down below), but I've purchased some new single eyeshadows to add to the list.
Purchase:
I purchased the Essence single eyeshadows from Clicks. They are available at multiple other stores in South Africa. Costing just R37 per eyeshadow, these are insanely affordable (not to mention, the pan size is huge!)
Selection:
I personally am a huge fan of neutral shades, and most of the shadows I've purchased show just that. The range does, however, come in a huge variety of shades to choose from. The eyeshadows also come in a variety of finishes- from matte to shimmer, Essence has it all!
Application:
The Essence single shadows can be used to create just about any look. Since there are multiple colours and finishes, application is easy. For the crease, I apply the shadows with a blending brush. For the lid, a flat eyeshadow brush works best.
Overall thoughts:
For the price, these eyeshadows are extremely worth it. Not to mention, great pigmentation and incredible quality. Being able to choose the shades you want saves money (you don't have to buy whole palettes). I definitely recommend adding these to your collection if you're an eyeshadow lover!

this is quite an interesting colour for eyes but it is quite sheer so its not too bright for everyday. Something new to play with, I found it in a sale bin at Clicks so I think it might be discontinued but if you do find it, give it a try.

A lovely glitter shadow ( I think it is the same one in the picture actually!) which is soft and easy to apply and gives a lovely sparkly effect. Not very long-lasting though - despite the promise on the package that it is!

I have this product in"09 Get Ready!" which is a shimmery taupey grey colour. I love this eyeshadow as an all over wash of colour on my lids when I'm too busy (or lazy) to do a full eye look. It gives me a defined eye that works with many different lipstick colours. It does have some fall out when applied but I always tap of the excess eyeshadow before applying and use a base (MAC Paint Pot) to hold the shadow on my lids. I like carrying this eyeshadow in my hand bag as it wouldn't be a big deal if it broke or got lost. Its great for amping up a day look for evening time with a little black eyeliner. I highly recommend this product.

I love this eyeshadow for its quality and the super affordable price. It costs R24.95, and it comes in so many colours. It’s perfect for those who would love to experiment with colourful eyeshadows that you normally wouldn’t be able to use every day. The one that I purchased is pigmented and has a slight bit of fall out (which is expected when you use any type of glittery eyeshadow). The eyeshadow is super silky and soft. I love applying this shadow on the inner corners of my eyes, or otherwise on the center of my eyelids for a pop of glitter.
On the packaging it says that it is long-lasting, but I think the particular colour I bought it in wasn’t as long-lasting as I hoped for. I would recommend using a primer and a base so the glitter has more to stick to.
