Essence Eyesdaow Palette,Eye Brushes,Hand Cream-Review

I have been wanting to write the reviews of  essence products for quite a long time and finally managed to write this blog post, 

I like sharing cheap and cheerful thrills :)

I picked up an essence eyeshadow palette in glamour to go 'sun club - 02 long beach' (a permanent collection palette). Its a gorgeous inexpensive eyeshadow palette for everyday use, it has eight eyeshadows and a dual sided applicator.

This shimmery eyeshadow palette includes warm colours - a  shimmery gold,bronze, a deep semi matte brown , a light brown, a light shimmery pink, yellowish highlighter, a copper colour and last but not least a grayish taupe to finish a beachy look.

I paid Rs.450, not a bad price to pay for a pretty little palette. Eyeshodows  have a good staying power if used with a primer. Shades in this palette work very  well together.

essence 24h hand protection balm  has a non greasy texture and it absorbs quickly leaving my hands soft and smooth. It has coconut oil and shea butter to repair damaged dry hands. I can't say much about the 24 hour claim because I can't  keep away from washing my hands for this long.

I also picked up two eye brushes form essence and I am loving both brushes. One is a smokey eye brush round, fluffy purple which I use to blend my crease eyeshadow precisely...it is very soft and just the prefect size for cease area.
The angled brush is a blue haired synthetic fibers gel eye liner brush  but I use it it apply my normal liquid or cream  eye liners. It is a perfect brush for an amazing price...it applies my eyeliner very smoothly and evenly. Both brushes didn't shed after washing. 

I paid Rs. 200 for each brush. Both these brushes are quite good quality at this price.
Essence products are available at Target and Priceline in Australia.

MUA Makeup Academy Single Eyeshadows-Review,Swatches

Before I start the review let me share the exciting news that MUA cosmetics has recently launched their cosmetics in Pakistan,You can order their cosmetics only from  www.just4girls.pk

I got the eyeshadows almost 8 months back when a dear friend was visiting UK,I only got myself 4 eyeshadows mainly because I have super sensitive eyes...my eyes easily get irritated,watery, itchy.so when it comes to eye makeup I can't take risk and thats one of the reason I dont wear and buy alot of eye makeup:( so I bought 4 eyeshadows just to see if it works fine..and it did:)  to my surprise non of the four single eyeshadows irritated my eyes.

The four single eyeshadow I got are shade No.3,9,7 and 12 and all of these are pearl finish, MUA also have matte finish eye shadows in singles.All of these colors are very smooth,easy to blend,super pigmented.they are not as frosty and metallic as they look in the swatches but they are shimmery,each eyeshadow contain 2 grams of product which is alot for just 1 pound (Rs.200),I dont use an eye primer with them because they don't  crease and are very pigmented. 


MUA  Eyeshadow 9 (pearl) This one is the most loved and most worn out of all four colors...its a gorgeous bright purple with magenta hues,very smooth and pigmented.


MUA Eyeshadow 12 (pearl) Most people describe it as a dupe of Mac's club...Mac's club is more brownish and taupe ish (duo chrome). MUA shade 12 is a very deep brown with taupish and reddish background.


MUA Eyeshadow 7 (pearl): Its a frosty smokey deep green and it has gold shimmer in it.


MUA Eyeshadow 3 (pearl) A very deep gun metal silver and it has silver shimmer.
