At Essence's and Catrice's headquarters did it again. They revamped 1/4 of their assortment.
And here I have some new products to show you. In the second part, some swatches will be coming up. I got one of the biggest PR packages from these brands ever. Brace yourselves as it's a long post with some previews and a small review.
I talked about some new products I got and tried last time from Essence - here.
ESSENCE & CATRICE NEW PRODUCTS 2018 - UPDATE PT.1
I got a bunch of products that I wanted to give a quick try before I decided to talk in depth about them.
But since it only counts if you talk about it sooner rather than later, here's a preview of all the things I got.
I included some Paese products because I got them at the same time :P.
THE BUNCH FROM ESSENCE
Essence Velvet lipstick in a renewed packaging in 06
We love matte! The innovative texture unites matte colour with a pleasant feeling on the lips. Thanks to the high pigmentation, the lipstick has a strong colour-dispersion, while the creamy texture offers semi-matte results without drying out the lips.
Essence Instacare lipstick in 02 Daily Maybe
The lipstick combines the colour of a lipstick with the rich care of a balm. Vitamin E and 20 % shea butter oil pamper the lips intensively – for a supple, soft feeling on the lips. Shades like berry or brown ensure gorgeous colour reflexes.
Essence Mattifying + pore minimizing primer
Specially aligned with the needs of young skin, the primer mattifies the skin and minimizes pores. The airy, light texture with black clay has a mattifying effect without weighing down the skin.
The absolute highlight in the lash-cosmos and no more annoying lash glue residues. The innovative false lashes are attached to the own lashes with a magnetic strip. Carefully separate the false lashes and then simply apply one lash strip above the top lashes and the other below the top lashes. The magnets will instantly stick together to ensure natural or intensive volume – without the need for lash glue!
Essence Go For The Glow Highlighter Palette
The three holographic highlighter shades allow you to create a shimmering prisma glow effect on the skin. The two palettes – one with cool pastel shades, the other with warm bronzing nuances – can be applied solo, mixed or layered to allow trendy make-up for any skin type.
Essence Too Glam to Give a Damn Palette
The four “eye & face” palettes in a cool paper packaging are true multitalents: each palette offers eight eyeshadows with matt or shimmering finishes. There is also a perfectly aligned blush or highlighter to go with each eye make-up look. “born awesome” with cool statement colours, “not your princess” with gorgeous nude and taupe tones, “the future is me” with trendy holo shades and “too glam to give a damn” with glamorous metallic nuances.
Essence Glitter On Glitter off nail polish 02
The peel off nail polish in colours like rosé gold, purple and multi-glitter can simply be peeled off to remove after wear! Here’s how it works: it’s best two apply two thin coats. Once dry, the nail polish can be peeled off whenever you like!
Essence Be You Tiful Palette (this one I bought myself)
The eyeshadow palette offers nine colours – four shimmering and five matte – in light as well as dark shades with a powder texture and high pigmentation. No matter whether a natural daily look or dramatic smokey eyes: this is a palette for all eye make-up styles.
Essence #Instaperfect liquid makeup
I wanted to talk really quickly about this foundation as it's a product I was the most curious about.
The make-up in a practical drop-packaging ensures a matte and flawless complexion. The liquid texture is waterproof and the coverage is buildable drop-by-drop. Nine different shades can be mixed and matched to create the perfect colour for all skin types and are sure to make all girls #instaperfect.
It promises a flawless, matte complexion. But it's a very runny gel-like foundation that is also very silicone-y. It feels light on the skin but it doesn't cover redness well. It looks flawless and it doesn't set into pores or fine lines. It is waterproof and buildable (only with a sponge or brush but not with fingers as it's slippery), but it didn't survive my 8 hours of intensive work. But it did survive the heat of our summer. It does have a slightly matte finish, but I still prefer the Catrice's HD foundation. This one is good but not perfect as I am not a fan of such silicone-y foundations.
THE BUNCH FROM CATRICE
Catrice #peeloff glam nail polish
Shine bright. Innovative peel-off nail polishes in fashionable shades with effect glitter. Apply two coats and leave to dry well. The effect polish can be peeled off quickly and easily – without the need for nail polish remover.
Catrice ArticGlow Highlight Powder
Frozen Crystals. The iridescent highlighting powder is a must-have for the trendy cool Glow Look. The baked, soft texture with white, silver and soft violet colour pigments is ideal for strobing fans with cooler skin tones. If you love the High Glow Mineral Highlighting Powder, the Arctic Glow Highlighting Powder is the perfect counterpart!
Catrice The Black One Volume Mascara
Fashion Essentials: the little black dress as a mascara. Sophisticated, ellipse-shaped elastomer brush for perfectly separated, voluminous lashes. Elegant design in a leather look.
Catrice Brow Colorist
Pro Colour. The Brow Colorist – Semi-Permanent Brow Mascara is based on a longlasting gel formula enriched with fibres and has a tint effect on the brows. Applied regularly, it intensifies the natural colour of eyebrow hair step-by-step. Its ultra-precision brush ensures perfectly shaped brows.
Catrice Light correcting Serum Primer Morning Glow
Liquid Gold. Underneath foundation, the fine golden shimmer offers a subtle glow effect, which is even more intense when applied solo. The handy pipette applicator allows a simple and accurate dosage. Thanks to its neutral shade, the primer is suitable for all skin tones.
Catrice Prime And Fine Poreless Blur Primer GoodBye Pores
Instant soft focus effect for a smooth, visibly pore-free complexion. The light mousse primer prepares the skin for the application of foundation and makes it last longer.
I'm already testing some of them and I can't wait to share my thoughts about them.
Some of them are exciting, new and revolutionizing, some are in the "meh" spectrum and some, well, just are.
Stay tuned and let me know about which products you'd like to read first. :)
