wootwooot!! :DD

ok now back to the actual purpose of my post...


Total amount spent: $39.40


 
no shimmer or frost unlike the others :\
some were so frosty! bad bad.
but this had a nice smooth satin finish..


No.2 long beach.
i love that there have a matte brown shadow (top right hand corner of the palette)

Crease brush!





As for the base, i got the illuminating one...because now that i am using mineral makeup from bareMinerals...as i said in my earlier post i got the matte-finish foundation...and the primer that came with it, is also a silicone based gel type(matte)...

i also have two silicone based primers- ELF mineral primer, and Revlon Beyond Natural smoothing primer...but i do have a MAC primer which is cream based and has a shimmery finish, like this essence too. Since i only have one illuminating primer which is the MAC and its bloody 50 bucks, so i dont use it everyday...i got this for a wayy cheaper alternative!




i love collecting concealers...foundations too! but i dunno why...hahah! i just LOVE trying different types.. this to be used with my mineral makeup...

though my bareMineral foundation gives me enough coverage...but its not as full as the coverage from a liquid foundation, which im still getting used to...since im so used to wearing liquid foundation almost everyday!

so the days im going out...for events/occassions and i wanna look really flawless, then i use concealer under my mineral foundation...if not i would skip all liquid and cream foundations/concealers...its been 2 weeks since i used liquid foundations and concealers! been strictly using ONLY the bare minerals makeup, not even powder foundation!





Matte off-white/cream colour shadow.






01 black fever.


1. highly pigmented
2. awesome staying power


this pic above is, 4 hours after i swatched it...i came home and tried rubbing it off, and it didn't budge a single bit!!! by the way, this is not my first time swatching it...i have been searching high and low for this long-lasting eye pencil...trust me, its seriously LONG lasting...

many times, i swatched the tester of this at so many outlets, let it sit on my hand for a good few mins before i tried rubbing it off and oh am gee, it didn't move at all! but it was always sold out in the 2 outlets where i usually purchase my essence products...and finally one good souled Watsons outlet, re-stocked their items! so yayy!!!

yes the colour faded after some time...but it didn't smudge even after so many hours! and when i tried to rub it off with my bare fingers...it didn't smear!!! *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*


there you go...my essence haul! :)
hope you guys enjoyed it...now off to do my project! :P


The End
