I'm an american living in germany. When our drugstore brands are sold in other countries they are expensive because they are subjected to import tax because they are imported. I love essence. They also have a skin care line which, I absolutely love!! Since seeing your review, I'll try out a set of lashes. I use the gloss, eyeliner (kajal and gel), nail polish and nail polish remover and I own one lipstick.
i have been using theyre quad called to die for " for a year now and i jsut finished the champagne shade after using it everdya i love it ! and i got some nailpolisehes but the brush is too small for me to use so i use another bush with it
I was visiting my family in slovakia and i lived there for 6 months so i had to get some new makeup and i got their mascara in brown. It was only a couple of euros and its AMAZING for the price! the only negative thing i could really find was that i would get fallout after a while. Then i found it on the ulta website and im totally going to go and buy some!! Great review btw!
Love it! Here in Holland I can buy it in every drugstore :D It's great for daily make up but for longer lasting make up I still like expensive brands a lot more
If only the Masses knew that ALL these "Chemical" Cosmetics ($'s) are Owned by Zionist/Jews and I'm NOT Racist, this is just a Fact that WE are ALL being Deceived; Conned and Taken for TOTAL FOOLS! Look at: "Who Owns What" on: wake-upbeforeitstoolate(dot)com you are going to be SO Shocked that you are ALL giving these Parasites YOUR MONEY!! LOTS of IT!! YOUR Beauty Does NOT NEED Chemicals!!
I actually really love Essence, they sell it pretty much every drug store in Ireland and I'm TOTALLY addicted to the nail polishes, they're about 1 euro here, maybe 1.20. Do they do those limited edition collections in the US?
I'm from The Nederlands (Holland) we have essence and its a lovely brand, i have a lot of them.... Even a lot of the things your showing that is so funny to see... I love there powders, nailpolishes, and lipgloss best, i have a few eyeshadows of them. But if you can get the other German brand 'Catrice' thats even a better brand i think, and there so in white the fashion colour, more on the price then essence but still a good price....
@JolandaHeaven I absolutely agree! I like lots of Essence stuff (usually their collection items are better quality than regular ones) but Catrice is much better pigmented, stays better and feels nicer. However, they cost at least like 20% more (though recently I find essence has raised their prices a bit, so the difference became less). Also, many of their offers duplicate Essence ones, so I feel a war coming soon between these two :)
@JolandaHeaven oh, just noticed Catrice and Essence come from the same company- cosnova. Then I just don't get what they are trying to do with their pricing policy -_-
Hey i live in ireland and in the last 4 months ive been using so many essence products i love them, think theyre really great for the cheap price, essence has become more popular here recently, but my favourite essence products would be-
the mattifying powder
i love stage - eyeshadow primer
i love extreme volume mascara (alot of volume reallly good)
i love rock gloss eyeliner pencil
colour and shine eyeshaow in no. 10 (black)
forget it concealer and ballerina backstage lipgloss in 01
Essence it's a cheap priced brand - according to the swiss standar prices- but people love it, specially teenagers and me hahaha. I like very much the nail polishes and the glosses. Some of the duo eye liner pencils can be too creamy and the lipsticks are pretty regular, I don't like them much because I feel that there are full shimery and zero color.
I'm sorry if i sound rude but the eyeshadow isn't worth the price? compare $2.00 to $14.00 mac eyeshadow.. Totally better! and they last just as long! and you should try the essence gel eyeliner! i have midnight in paris and i love it! :)
thank you 4 this helpful vidio...you should try the blush brush, and essences line "blossums ect" face powder stufff...it works wonders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have it here in Sydney from Target and i love it!
Yesterday i got the Essence stay with me longlasting lipgloss, and i have to admit, its sticky, but after it "absorbs" it literally becomes a lip stain. Pretty cheap for a lipstain :P
And i love their products. I dont really mind that much if it doesnt work cos its cheap (:
@ShivisF They don't do it in the UK. I looked after I got a couple of lip glosses when I was in Germay 2 years ago. So the nearest place is Germany. It's annoying that we can't get the brand.
Essence is also sold in Italy, quite cheaply. I love the lipglosses and the lipsticks, but I really hate the eyeshadow, they are horrible to work with! I'm not a fan of the nail polishes.
I am using essenc for some time, and i have to say that for the price the quality is veeery good. But it's like other brands (revlon, nivea, deborah,...) some things are good same of them are not. I just bought today a new concealer long-stay 16h and i have to say it is more than great, creemy smoth easy to apply.
i love essence, but i don't buy their regural stuff(except for nailpolishes), because they come with new collection every month, and in every collection is so different in shape,colour, etc. so i'm more in love with their special editions, than regular ones.but they came out with TONS of new stuff in regular line, and the new stuff is soo goooooooood!
I live in Germany and Essence is pretty good for "Make up starters". I really their mascaras. They are bettern then some 15 euro mascaras. They also make really nice brown eyeshadows. And their Powder and Blush brush is amazing. I use the brush for blush and it looks great because the colour isn't an "over do"
I have a lot of essence make up, just because it's so cheap. Maybelline, L'oreal and brands like that are the expensive kinds of make up here in Holland and that's why I just stick with Essence and Catrice (kind of the same brand).
I love essence cosmetics,I have been using it for about half an year now and i am very pleased with it.I mainly use essence eyeshadows and lip glosses.
I know this video was made a while ago and you've moved, but I would be SO grateful if you would do a tutorial especially on your eyes. Blended and placed SO beautifully. You have the most amazing smooth skin...would love to see you do your foundation/bronzer/blush/contour/etc. tutorial too....
Hi! Okay so I have been using essence for about 2 years now and I have to say:
You are correct about the eyeliner pen. I was raving about it b/c it was so long lasting and then on my lid it just failed. I tried fixing the tip but it still didn't work. I also don't like the essence coverstick. I find it chalky and can show your fine lines. But I am absolutely in love with their mineral powders, soft touch foundation, and kajal eyeliners. It's great for teens and beginners.
i live in germany. here it is kinda popular like 80% from the girls from 8-18 year old girls use really a lot of essence products i have to say the eyeliners aren't good but the nail polishes are great and the lipglosses are okey
The think is, that you said in our countries Maybelline and stuf for uss are realy expensive; that's totally true!.Whatewer, you should try essence's 3 in 1 concealer; everyone i know love it! go check out on youtube for it ;)
Nice reviews! I have some essence nailpolishes, they're really good! i have not tried anything else yet as i just recently found them in my country, and they're inexpensive but for some reason they're more expensive here in my country, in Europe, then in US! they also cost from 1.30 to 5 euros, but euros cost more than dollars! it's so different, also other drugstore brands like maybeline here are twice as much as in the US! mascaras cost 15 to 17 usd :( anyway, essence is good!
I'm from Germany and essence does have some really nice products sometimes .. but i was surprised that you have essence in america as well, since it's a german brand ;)
Essence is cheap so you can experiment :) I adore the kajal pencil in "cool breeze" (turquoise) and the longlasting retractable eye pencil in "seventh heaven" (blue). Love the metal glam tube in brown and metal glam eyeliner in "pretty cool" (green) as well as the eyeliner made with love in "in love" (shimmery black). Bought some more eyepencils, powders, blushes, eyeshadows and nailpolishes as well as lipglosses and mascaras (but haven't tried all of them yet). Good for beginners :)
I live in Germany and I'm also doing beauty related videos but I really do dislike essence. Many German Gurus are raving about essence but the quality of their makeup is really bad. The eyeshadows aren't that pigmented and the nail polishes are normally too liquidly. The packaging - as you might noticed - seems to be really cheap. One good thing are the testers. I was in Chicago last year and I noticed that you really don't have testers for yo makeup. ;-)
anyone used L'Oreals new product line?! their very good i keep on purchase more and more :) did you know you can get free of cost trials from "GratismakeupSamples". i my samples on 19/09/2010.
any of you sampled Max factor's most recent line of products?? they're very decent - i keep on buy more and more :) u can receive free of cost trials through "Gratis Makeup Samples". i the samples on 15/09/2010.
You actually happen to be fairly beautiful, thanks for your video clip. it is unfortunate im living in Lemoore simply because i aren't able to get hold of high-quality makeup, however i get hold of cost-free cosmetics samples from "GratismakeupSamples". i absolutely adore Olay makeup!
I'm from switzerland. Essence is one of my favourite make up brands, because as you said in Switzerland Mac, Revon etc. is inceredibly expensive and defenetly not afordable for teenagee girls. I think essence is a pretty good brand, but of course the quality isn't as good as MAC is or somthin', but I like it and it has good packaging and the Limited editions are eally cute.
@LafaHeadshot yes i keep hearing how awesome they're limited edition stuff is - i agree it's not high end quality but i think it's still really good :)
anybody tried MAC's latest range of products?? there very good i keep on purchase more and more :) did you know u can get hold of zero cost samples from "Gratis Makeup Samples". i the samples on 09/09/2010.
Their waterproof liquid liner DOES NOT COME OFF! It's a great product but you can't make mistakes with it. I went swimming with it on and it didn't come off (:
any of you used Maybelline's newest range of products?! there quality , i keep get more! did you know u can get 100 % free samples from "Gratis Makeup Samples". i received my samples on 07/09/2010.
any of you sampled MAC's most recent line of products?? theyre excellent , i keep purchase more! did you know you can receive free of charge samples of makeup through 'Gratis Makeup Samples'. i received the samples on 06/09/2010.
You are somewhat cute, thank you for the video tutorial. it is actually unfortunate i'm located in Greendale because i can not receive very good makeup, nonetheless i get free of cost cosmetics samples from 'Gratis Makeup Samples'. i really like Sally Hansen cosmetics!
@pecktv haven't yet, though my overall opinion on milani is quite positive...maybe i'll get that together eventually - i'd like to but don't think i really have enough from the brand to do a video on it..i like the drugstore diaries brand reviews to include a little bit of everything :)
You actually are somewhat beautiful, thanks a lot for your video clip. it is pathetic i live within Bausell and Ellis for the reason that i can't end up getting excellent cosmetics, nevertheless i find free of charge cosmetics samples through "GratismakeupSamples". i love Sally Hansen makeup!
just subscribed :) Essence have some great products. I'm from Slovenia, but i've lived in Germany too. In Europe Essence is popular, you can get it in almost all european countries in several drugstores. It's cheap and they have some great stuff. Not everything but the mayority is ok. The limited editions are quite desirable, they allways sell out quick. Great videos! :)
You are righ,for eg. in my country we do not have anything revalon,MAC or NARS no famous stuff like that, that most of the youtube make-up gurus use. We have all those Maybelene and blah, but it's sooooooooooo freaking expensive,it's 4 times more expensive than any essence product.
@Sasumiwo The same is in Bulgaria, although we have MAC and Sephora, but the majority of people can't afford to pay 50 leva for a brush, which is almost the same as paying 50$ (and those are for sephora brushes, the MAC ones are even more expensive).
Thanks for the review. I've tried the LLEPs in both Almost Famous and brown (I'm sure it has a fancier name, but I can't remember). I really like them...they last throughout the day.
cool :) the stamp set is really cheap i got something like that in Aust is around $25 but with 2 little nail polish !! Maybe try some really thick nail polish when u use the stamp will be easier to use :)
the first things that i bought a few months ago were nail polishes
i love it so cheap and they have some pretty colors then i went back to but some more cosmetics stuff but i dont like it. i just stick with nail polishes for this brand!
I like this brand. I am living in Switzerland for a while and this is the only brand I can afford. Everything here is super expensive, even drug store brands. For instance, L'Oreal Voluminous mascara was 25 swiss franks (it's a little over 1:1 for the exchange rate now). Anyway, we're so lucky to live in the states... Things are much cheaper :)
U are right when applying Seche Vite nail polishes tend to last for a much longer time. Stage Beauty looks really pretty! Might try that one today! For the price, might buy and try alot of these products! Great review, never tried this brand..always passed on it.
I bought the face powder products (mosaic highlighter, bronzer, mineral compact powder, all of th blushes and the Forget it! 3 in 1 concealer). These are great products for the price (ranges: 99 cents, $1.99, $2.99, $3.99).
The blushes are th least impressive for me, but I love the Forget it! 3 in 1 concealer palette. I use the pink corrector to touch up under my eyes at my desk at work. The eyeliners are ok, still get smudging after =few hrs. Next I will try the mousse foundation.
@KdashRina ahhh i know..i tried the blush testers and was not that into...i was interested in the mousse foundation as well, but none of the colors were a good match for me :( if u try it lemme know how it wears!
@carebears010 hmmm not sure..if u like it i'd say just use it on the t zone, but at that point i guess you're better off w/ another powder entirely :)
The stamper thing for the nail art does work. However when it's new it has a slippery surface so it's hard for the design to transfer, so you have to like rub it on a semi rough surface, like jeans. (:
I've tried the long lasting pencil in Almost Famous as well. It is ok on the waterline but I like to use it as the inner corner highlight - works great that way :)
so glad you have this line, I was going to do a online order because ultas are not too close to me.But for this line I need to go and take a trip down there!, thanks for the pen liner review. My fave pen eyeliner is jordana's incolor fabuliner......it lasted me before and through my pregnancy and my baby is 10 months now and it finally gave up and i repurchased 2! for a pen liner thats super the cover girl one dried up in weeks! and so expensive! thank goodness I found this one. 2.99!! thanks!!!
@MissNazal yes been loving the jordana fabu liner as well...it's always sold out whenever i go to walgreens though! i bought the only one left and then a few days later i went to another walgreens and there was only 1 left again!
@ennosenze25 yes def give it a shot...i mean get a few products and if u don't like it, it's not a huge loss..overall i don't think there's anything that would absolutely suck :)
I like essence very much, but they dont ever have the best Nailplishes.The NP in the LE s are better and there are better NP at our drugstores like catrice and P2 .The other essence stuff is good !
you know, you should check out the essence liquid eyeliner in waterproof. its actually pretty good. The staying power is amazing for the price and the color payoff is pretty good too :) just a fyi :DD
@kragey yep i got the Q of A in a NYX haul a month or two ago and love it! yes essence is really easy to write off b/c it's so cutesy but seriously those glosses are the stand out...IMHO :)

fashionismycrush 1 year ago
Essence is cheap so you can experiment :) I adore the kajal pencil in "cool breeze" (turquoise) and the longlasting retractable eye pencil in "seventh heaven" (blue). Love the metal glam tube in brown and metal glam eyeliner in "pretty cool" (green) as well as the eyeliner made with love in "in love" (shimmery black). Bought some more eyepencils, powders, blushes, eyeshadows and nailpolishes as well as lipglosses and mascaras (but haven't tried all of them yet). Good for beginners :)

I live in Germany and I'm also doing beauty related videos but I really do dislike essence. Many German Gurus are raving about essence but the quality of their makeup is really bad. The eyeshadows aren't that pigmented and the nail polishes are normally too liquidly. The packaging - as you might noticed - seems to be really cheap. One good thing are the testers. I was in Chicago last year and I noticed that you really don't have testers for yo makeup. ;-)

I'm from switzerland. Essence is one of my favourite make up brands, because as you said in Switzerland Mac, Revon etc. is inceredibly expensive and defenetly not afordable for teenagee girls. I think essence is a pretty good brand, but of course the quality isn't as good as MAC is or somthin', but I like it and it has good packaging and the Limited editions are eally cute.

just subscribed :) Essence have some great products. I'm from Slovenia, but i've lived in Germany too. In Europe Essence is popular, you can get it in almost all european countries in several drugstores. It's cheap and they have some great stuff. Not everything but the mayority is ok. The limited editions are quite desirable, they allways sell out quick. Great videos! :)

You are righ,for eg. in my country we do not have anything revalon,MAC or NARS no famous stuff like that, that most of the youtube make-up gurus use. We have all those Maybelene and blah, but it's sooooooooooo freaking expensive,it's 4 times more expensive than any essence product.
Sasumiwo 1 year ago 17
@Sasumiwo The same is in Bulgaria, although we have MAC and Sephora, but the majority of people can't afford to pay 50 leva for a brush, which is almost the same as paying 50$ (and those are for sephora brushes, the MAC ones are even more expensive).

I like this brand. I am living in Switzerland for a while and this is the only brand I can afford. Everything here is super expensive, even drug store brands. For instance, L'Oreal Voluminous mascara was 25 swiss franks (it's a little over 1:1 for the exchange rate now). Anyway, we're so lucky to live in the states... Things are much cheaper :)

Hi,
I bought the face powder products (mosaic highlighter, bronzer, mineral compact powder, all of th blushes and the Forget it! 3 in 1 concealer). These are great products for the price (ranges: 99 cents, $1.99, $2.99, $3.99).
The blushes are th least impressive for me, but I love the Forget it! 3 in 1 concealer palette. I use the pink corrector to touch up under my eyes at my desk at work. The eyeliners are ok, still get smudging after =few hrs. Next I will try the mousse foundation.

The stamper thing for the nail art does work. However when it's new it has a slippery surface so it's hard for the design to transfer, so you have to like rub it on a semi rough surface, like jeans. (:

My fave pen eyeliner is jordana's incolor fabuliner......it lasted me before and through my pregnancy and my baby is 10 months now and it finally gave up and i repurchased 2! for a pen liner thats super the cover girl one dried up in weeks! and so expensive! thank goodness I found this one. 2.99!! thanks!!!
