Manicure Monday: Essence Color & Go in "38 Choose Me!"

Hello there ladies: 

So we are officially in the Seasons of Fall and the weather temperatures is letting us know that now a sweater to be worn is a must, but I've seen brave people to wear tank top and shorts in 10°C.

Essence is a brand that we all know to be very affordable, but with all that; we expect for their products to suck and when you find something it kind of good it just makes your day. 

38 Choose Me!: is a greenish, teal aqua-ish foil 

 

Wow! This color has become my third polish of all times is just so good that you have to stare at it and be amazed every second. The name "Choose Me!" Is just so fitting, really you have to get this polish is just so stuningly beautiful. 

The color is so hard to describe at some point you might even think it has some sort of duochrome but it could be a foil finish as well. For picture above is a three coat manicure without top coat, overall it dried super fast that a top coat is not necessary as i didn't use it at all.

This is the older version of their polishes which was priced at $1.49, now with their new bottles I am not sure if the color is still available. 

Thank you so much for reading please come back for more reviews, looks, etc. take care xoxox

Mani Monday: Essence Color & Go in High Spirits

Hello There Ladies:

Finally hot weather is here and is scorching hot, we have a heat wave going and I like it!

Today's polish is a nice color is just a toned down color more like your neutral winter shade. 

High Spirits: is an olive green with a noticeable  and somewhat hidden shimmer haha! 

I like this color is quite neutral that blended with my skin color. 

Application: photo above has two coats with top coat. The formula was a bit thick but manageable, it dried relatively fast in between coats which impress me a lot which leaves up to its name of Colour & Go Quick Drying nail polish, buts that's about it because it lasted 4 days on me than it chipped completely. 

I have a love/hate relationships with polish like that because it gives me the chance to change my manicure but also I don't like it because I have to do it again and I don't have a chance to do so! 

Bottom line I recommend this brand/line if you change your manicure ever so often if not go for other brand. 

Essence is sold at participating Shoppers Drug Mart. This is an old bottle that was sold for $1.49 but now they re-designed their bottles and change price for only $1.99 (which is still a bargain)

Anyways thanks for reading and take care xoxoxo 

Essence Blushes: Limited Edition Review

Hello There Ladies:

Today I have a trio of blushes that are limited edition. Essence is a brand that put a lot of effort to make the quality of their makeup seem to be pricier than what you actually pay. Essence usually launch limited edition products all the time like every 3 months or so. You can never keep up with their collections. Essence as a whole was introduced to Canada more like two years ago. 

Since i am so happy to make this post lets start with the first blush. This blush is from the 'twilight breaking dawn - part 2' collection called Renesmee Red. This is a deep red with a Burgandy feel to it. In the pan looks scarily pigmented but is not like that at all, This blush is build able you  just have to barely touch it and gives a very good flush of color quite naturally. If not careful you can end up with clown cheeks. 

The second one I have is 'Cherry Blossom Girl Collection' called Asian Sensation. The name is quite funny I kind of like it. This blush has a nice design embossed into the blush with the cherry blossom flowers. One side is darker which is the blush and the lighter color is a highlight which it can be used to highlight your cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. You can also swirl your brush into the whole blush and get a nice shine look to your cheeks, so you look fresh and you look radiant like you just woke up shining. 

The last blush I have is the coolest one from the Vintage District collection called It's Popul-Art. What can I say?! Lets start by saying that this is one of the most good looking blush at such a low cost, is so good looking that I'm afraid of touching it, using it or looking at it lol, Ok maybe not looking at it since is gorgeous with that detailing of the flower. The background is reddish pink and the flower is more like a golden peachy pink, I just can't imagine how will it look like swatched and swirled together

.

Essence is available at selected Shoppers Drugmart which carry regular items from Essence and they come out with the limited time collections as well, blushes has been purchased for $3.49 CND which is $1 more than their regular line. 

We have reach to the end of this post and sorry if I don't have any swatches just because I did this post in a hurry but I hope you have enjoyed this review of this limited edition blushes from Essence. Take care and thanks for reading xoxo.

FOTD: Walking On Eggshells Feat. Wet n' Wild Trio Palette

Hello my lovely readers:

Today is the first day of spring! I was very excited for this day until I saw outside the window and it was snowing. Snow? Are you kidding me? Ugh I'm so disappointed at our dear groundhog for miscalculating.

Anyways due to my dissapointment I wanted to do a more clean very wearable makeup since most people are able to try it out mostly. This is my first time trying it out and I quite like it.
For this look I used the Wet n' Wild Trio in Walking on Eggshell. This is a super duper affordable trio for just $2.47, I bought mine at Walmart.

**Sorry the photo below shows a crappy wing liner but that's not the case because I was in a hurry and I applied a sloppy mascara application and it went toward my liner on my left eye ... Please disregard my boboos :)

Products Used:

EYES:

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance
2. Maybelline Metal Color Tattoo in Barely Branded.
3. Wet n' Wild Trio

5. Gosh Eye Liner Pen in Brown

So I hope you have liked this post I think it's good to go nude on in a while with makeup I also think this could work for wedding makeup as it is soft I also paired it with a nice fushcia bluish pink lipstick for a pop of color.

Manicure Monday: Essence Color & Go 116 Gorgeous Bling Bling

Today I have this gorgeous nail polish color that is so unique and is by essence. I noticed as well that they changed their bottle design and made a little bigger and a bit fancier. The cap also reflects the polish inside very well, and I'm also loving the brush is wider, making application easier and have more control to maneuver.

116 Gorgeous Bling Bling: is a burnt orange with noticeable gold flecks.

The formula was good making it easy to apply and only needed two coats and it lasted throughout the whole week, of course it was top coated with Seche Vite Top Coat.

Essence is only sold at selected Shoppers Drugmart because I've been to a few of the stores and I've only seen them in a couple so you have to check around your area to see which store carries Essence cosmetics. This brand is very affordable and is gained so much popularity for how good they're products are at such a cheap cost.

The nail polishes are sold at $1.99 each but just before the bottle change they were sold at $1.49. I really don't mind paying the difference.

So what do you guys think of the brand Essence? How many of their polishes do you own?

Until my next post, take care and don't forget to follow me on Instagram for the latest nail polishes or like me on Facebook @ canadianbeautyfinds ... Thanks in advance!!!

FOTD: Valentine Strawberry Shortcake Makeup Look

Hi lovelies,

Happy Valentines day!!! I made this look thinking of valentine and out of all the looks I've done I really like this one, this is a more subtle makeup look, a little smokey but very daytime wearable that can be worn to go to school, work or if you are running for errands. This is a look thats very easy to achieve. I also did a wing so it could elongate my eyes and not make it to appear to have smaller eyes. As well I did fill in my eyebrows but it was in the color blond so it kind of washed out my brows a bit. This reminded me of a valentines look because of the light peachy pink eyeshadow, also it reminded me more like a strawberry shortcake just because of the light pink frosting they use haha.

Products Used:

EYES:

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance
2. Lise Watier in Pêche Melba
3, L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Forever Pink (used on 3/4 lid)
