A while back I was going through the shopping flyers for Shoppers Drug Mart and was quite excited that they were going to start selling Essence makeup products. I had heard a lot about essence, the quality of their makeup as well as their affordability. I finally had a chance to stop by at Shoppers and pick up the Essence Eyeliner Pen (Extra Long Lasting). I have been using this eyeliner pen for about 2 months now and its AMAZING. It has not dried out on me, it stays on all day, its super pigmented and best of all IT WAS ONLY $2 !!! I have become really into the eyeliner pen style of eyeliners as it makes putting on eyeliner a breeze !!
PROS - cheap, super pigmented, lasts all day, easy to work with, if you make a mistake you can easily use your fingers to wipe it off carefully
CONS - the brand Essence itself is hard to find in Canada :(
I also picked up the Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever and I am EQUALLY IMPRESSED. For the longest time I have been using MAC's eye kohl is smolder and it is great, I heard a lot of people talk about the Maybelline Lasting Drama as being really great as well especially for the waterline but when I saw the essence on sale for $1.49 I didn't hesitate to pick it up. I mean if it was bad I only spent $2 including tax and if it was good that was a steal !! So I decided to do a heavy eyeliner look for a wedding I attended last weekend and I used the essence eyeliner on the top with the eye pencil on the bottom and it lasted the whole evening.
PROS - rich colour, long lasting, twist up design no fussying over a sharpener, glides really easily
If any of you have access to Essence makeup, these two products are definitely worth a try !
