Essence Get Big Lashes volume curl Mascara

hello

welcome to my blog 

my recent growing obsession has to be mascara, i just love the look of thick voluminous black lashes
since mascara come with the shortest life span i like to try drugstore mascara.

essence has a vast range of mascaras having fancy, cute and bright packaging, even the brushes are designed with absolute care




Essence Get Big Lashes volume curl mascara is one of the recent addition to the range, 

so lets get into the review shall we???


Quantity:12 ml 


Price: 430 pkr 




Packaging:


its a very vibrant red fat tube and has a ''e''  printed on top of it. the wand is medium sized and has a very fat brush on the end which is curved from on side 



About the product:


the formula of this mascara is very wet and runny. i guess it will thicken  and dry up  a little bit after some time.  due to its large brush its a bit trick to use this mascara as i am afraid that i might smudge it on my face or lid.

the curled part of the brush is perfect to lift up the lashes giving them a nice curl. these lashes give good volume to my lashes but not too much lenght which is ok with me as i always look for volumizing mascara. this mascara does not has any noticeable scent .



one thing i noticed when removing this mascara is that its not easily washable. i know this not waterproof mascara but the formula is a bit stubborn to remove with just soap and water 








overall i like this mascara, which mascara is your favorite???


essence is available at all leading pharmacy, beautybar.pk and daraz.pk

Essence sheer and shine lipstick in BFF 03





 for the past few years the Revlon lip-butters have been quite popular among the you-tubers and the whole beauty community, despite the fact that Revlon is a drugstore brand the lip-butters are quite expensive in  here in Pakistan 

 a couple of years forward essence has come up with the sheer and shine lipsticks which are  similar in texture and pigmentation, also a lot affordable 

the sheer and shine lipstick has a wide variety of shades from sheer nudes to reds and pinks
i personally love wearing lipsticks having sheer formula as they require less effort during application, are hydrating give fresh and youthful look to the face 



Quantity:3.8 g


price 360 pkr


packaging:

this lipstick has a silver casing and a transparent lid similar to the shade to lipstick which makes it easier to locate in your makeup bag when in a hurry 
i feel that the casing  makes the lipstick look more expensive/ high end 

about the product :

BFF is a very beautiful watermelon pink/red colored lipstick. it is very sheer but the color is build able on multiple swipes, texture wise its like a lip-balm and hydrating 
the staying power however is poor it lasts for only two hours on the lips (average time a lip balm lasts on the lips) other thing that bothered me about this lipstick is the scent it has a strong vitamin E scent which is quite a turn off for me as i am quite sensitive to scents 





i purchased this lipstick from beautybar.pk 

you might like it:


if you like tinted lip-balms
you have chapped lips
you are starting out with makeup


you might not like it :

if you are looking for long lasting lipstick
you are sensitive to scents


i rate this product 3.5 out of 5

Essence kajal pencil in Teddy 08 and lipliner In the nude 11





When going for a natural makeup look black eyeliner can look harsh sometimes so using brown eyeliner is a good option. I have very sensitive eyes and eyelids as Essence manufactures dermatological tested makeup so for me this brand is best

I like my lip liner to be soft and creamy so when I saw this gorgeous nude lip liner by essence I decided to try it

Quantity: 1 g

Price 195 pkr each

Packaging: both pencils are just like a regular pencil and have a silver plastic cap on it. 





About the kajal pencil in teddy 08

the shade i chose is teddy (08) I expected it to be a matte brown color but imagine my surprise when I swatched it on my hand it was metallic copper-brown shade
This pencil is neither water proof nor smudge proof but it does not stings the eyes when applied on the waterline. It does not transfer on the upper part of my eyelids when I open my eyes so that’s a positive point
This pencil I feel can be used as an eye shadow (in the crease)
