I'm a big fan of cosmetics and getting pampered (who isn't?) so when essence invited me to their pampering night at Dashing Diva to check out their new Fall/Winter collection of cosmetics and nail polish, I couldn't pass it up! Everyone got to enjoy some cocktails and munch on snacks while we got to choose the nail polish for our pedicures!
Essence is the #1 value cosmetics brand in the world and is known for high quality, on-trend products at value prices (range from $.99-$4.99). They had a full line of fashionable items including lipsticks, mascaras, concealers, powders, nail polish , pencils and brushes.
The popular European brand is already distributed in 55 countries and has recently expanded into North America. The brand is for all women although based on its bright color schemes, I felt it was more aimed towards the younger audience- teens to early 20s. Of course that didn't stop me from wanting to get my nails colored a bright coral color! I refuse to think summer is over!
Focusing on their nail polish, Essence launched 18 completely new and innovative nail polish colors (so many to choose from!) that are designed to have long lasting color and brilliant gel-shine effect with a very short drying time. Big plus is that the polishes are free of harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, toluene and emollient phthalate.
Besides the cool new colors, the bottles have color coded lids that match the color of the nail polish and the polish has a new patented professional brush which is like double the width of a typical nail polish brush so you can paint your nails faster with fewer strokes! All the nail polishes retail for $1.99!
At the end of the the pampering night we got to take home some items from their fall/winter cosmetic line to test out. I haven't tried everything out yet but some of my favorites so far is the Stay All Day Concealer to get rid of my dark circles under my eyes from the lack of sleep! I think this cosmetic line is great for anyone that is looking to keep up with the latest color trends and likes to play with different looks using quality products without breaking the bank.
Essence is currently sold at ULTA, HEB, Fred Meyer and recently launched into Canada as of March 2012, where it is featured in over 900 Shoppers Drug Mart stores nationwide.
