Such an elegant design.

So nice! MrsTheDoll said this works. So excited to try it.

Hi jessica, yes, I have two of their mascaras, and I like the Multi-Action False Lashes one. They have so many it's actually quite hard to choose, haha.

I don't like essence products but I have to admit their nail polishes are fabulous! not to mention the range of different shades but their quality is pretty good and they are so cheap!

Jyoan said...

Hi caise, I won't say I like every single one of their products. haha, most of them are just bought as try-outs because of some rave. I guess they would do for the price. There are definitely flops in the brand, and some worth the rave. =)

Hi Cherry Berry, Essence is a hard to access brand even in US. I am so surprised that my little island of a country has imported it. And the funny thing is, only 1 single outlet of my country's largest drugstore carries Essence. Every time I want to buy Essence, I have to make my way down to the city area. I hope Essence make themselves more accessible soon, because they do have really great things for such low prices, so more people should be able to get some Essence. =)
