Essence Polish 34 ~ Walk of Fame

Essence Walk of Fame is a creme mushroom taupe brown. This is 3 coats (I like to do thin coats so they dry faster, you could probably get away with 1 thick and 1 thin coat).

This colour looks pretty dull in bottle, but I was pleasantly surprised by the dimensions of the polish. Sometimes it leans to a more dark mushroom brown and sometimes it looks more taupe/grey brown.

This polish was S$2.80 from Watson's.

July-August Picked Ups! (Essence, Bioderma, Forever 21, Jewellery, Daiso)

Hello!

Here are the products that I have picked up in the month of July and August (so far :D). I may have gone a bit crazy...but it happens to everyone, right?

I'm going to start with Essence:

This is the Maximum Definition Volume Mascara in Black (8mL for  S$6.00). There is a wide range of mascaras on offer but this one drew me in because a) it's bright orange b) it has rubber bristles and c) because it has a flexible brush.

I've never had a mascara which was any of those things, so I decided to try it out. I got it in black because that was the only option.

Souffle Touch Blush in 030 Cold Wildberry (8mL for $6.10). This was the most nude shade out of the two that were in the display, I was surprised by the texture because the tester was all crusty and dried up. Also it has a really nice scent, fresh and minty but fruity. Yum! I'm excited to try this out.

Quattro Eyeshadow in 09 denim 4.0 (5g for S$6.50) This quad just stood out to me, especially the black. As soon as I saw it, I grabbed it.

 Single Eyeshadow in 30 happy hour - metallic effect (2.5g for S$3.50)

 Single Eyeshadow in 54 yes eye can! - shimmer effect (2.5g for S$3.50)

Single Eyeshadow in 60 kermit says hello - shimmer effect (2.5g for S$3.50)

Awwww kermit!



This two sized sharpener was only S$2.20!

Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadow in 06 Rock Chic (5.5g for S$6.00). This is so pretty it's a bluey-black with blue and silver glitter.

This is actually a repurchase and I haven't even finished my other one! This is the lipstick in 53 All About Cupcake (4g for S$4.30) This was my first lipstick I ever brought from Essence, and I loved it so much I didn't want to ever be without it! It's perfect for everyday.

 Colour to go quick drying nail polish in (L-R): 48 MEET ME NOW!, 72 Time for Romance, 76 Hard to Resist and 96 Sparkling Water Lily)

Nail Colour 3 in 01 Midnight Date. (L-R): Midnight Date, City that never sleeps. (2x4mL for S$6.10)

Lip liner in 07 Cute Pink (1g for $2.20)

S$2.20!!

Long lasting Eye Pencil in (L-R): 02 Hot Chocolate, 12 I have a green, 14 Think Khaki, 16 Coolest Chic (0.28g for S$4.30)

I have heard great things about these so I'm excited to test them out.

If you spent more than S$10 on Essence you got this free gift, which consists of a Duo Eyeshadow in 13 Rocking Diva (3.5g) and a XXXL shine lip gloss in 12 Soulmate (5mL). You also got a little book with all the available colours in each product range.

I popped into Guardian (a pharmacy/drugstore in Singapore) because I saw in a magazine they were selling the famous Bioderma Sensibio H20 makeup remover. I picked up the 100mL for S$15.90

Review coming up!

I also picked up some jewellery:

The top three are earrings from a stall in Northpoint Mall @ S$5 each.

The front two are from Forever 21 @ S$5 each.

These polishes were from the S$2 shop, Daiso. These look amazing over black!

Also from Daiso is this silver glitter with holographic glitters in it. Good for layering.

I had been looking for a pastel yellow polish for a while, and my mum picked this up for me from 7-Eleven for S$2.90 for 15mL!

Lastly, I got these polishes from Watson's, and they are Disney themed, awesomeeee!

These were 12mL for S$2.90.

That is what I've picked up recently, swatches and reviews will be coming up after I've tried these products out.

Thanks for reading! Please follow if you want to see the swatches and reviews and future blogposts (:

Essence Polish 38 - Choose Me! (Mermaid nails anyone)

Essence Choose Me! is a blue jelly with gold and green small glitter. This is 3 coats, however you can still see my nail line  (which I hate! grrr), and you don't really get the effect of the goldy/green glitter. I wasn't going to give up on this little polish so I thought maybe I should try it over a black, this is what happened...

IT'S AMAZING!! I totally felt like a mermaid with these nails...well, an evil mermaid hehe!

Again, Essence is only available right now in Singapore at the Ngee Ann City Watson's.  And you can pick up this polish for under S$4.


Do you have a polish which you refuse to give up on, if so which one?

Essence Polish 83 - Luxury Secret

Essence Luxury Secret is a shimmery gunmetal. This was opaque after two coats. If you haven't already noticed, I love the Essence brand as a whole. If you are looking for a silver/gunmetal colour polish that isn't too bright like normal silver polishes, then you should give this polish a try.

I can't remember the price exactly, I want to say it was S$2.80 or S$3.80 from Watsons. (The only Watsons that sells Essence is the one in Ngee Ann City).

For the price, you really cannot beat these polishes!

What's your favourite Essence polish?
