So last week I posted about one of esssence’s latest trend edition ranges; the ‘Valentine – Who Cares range’ which can be viewed here.
Today I am back with another one of their trend edition ranges. This time the ‘Happy Girls Are Pretty Girls’ range. You have probably seen this raved about already but I have been on a bit of a blogging low these last two weeks – but I am back better than ever and its better late than never!
Instead of just copying and pasting a press release I decided to highlight the items which took my personal interest.. AKA the items which I will be shoving into my basked with vengeance the next time I am in Clicks or Dis-Chem!
Happiness is the key! We all know that a smile is the most gorgeous make-up, so the new essence trend edition “happy girls are pretty” is going to underline the natural beauty of all girls from February until March 2016. The colour scheme consists of delightful pastel shades complemented by brown nuances that are sure to flatter all beauties. The ultra slim eye pencil with an extra thin mine creates fine, accurate eyeliner styles, while the contouring set accentuates the facial features and adds expression. The nails shine in six cool colours with three different effects. Loving designs with a knit-look reminiscent of the cozy time of year decorate the blush as well as the nail file. Be happy, feel pretty … with essence!

Pretty beautiful. The eyeshadow palettes are available in two versions with five colours each: vanilla, apricot, pink, grey and beige or apricot, beige and three different brown shades. A matching colour for every single happy moment! The ball of wool with “knit” lettering dances across the entire palette and is a cute eye-catcher. Available in 01 happiness is … seeing your smile and 02 happiness is … following your heart. Around R67.50*
The apricot shade is screaming out at me to BUY BUY BUY!

Okay so this one I am SO getting. It is my favourite pick of the entire range. The perfectly mattified powder looks like that universal shade that can work for nearly any skin type. And I am still way too obsessed with the contouring craze.

I have mentioned time and time again that I am not a nail gal. I have horrid hands and horrid nails and I never use nail polish so I will be giving these a miss. However, I ADORE these shades. Anything pastel has me by the heartstrings!

Cute file… the 2 in 1 nail file keeps nails in shape in a flash as one side gently shortens while the other shapes. And nail styling sessions are sure to be twice as nice with the cute heart print! Available in 01 keep calm and be happy. Around R34.95*

Thats what I love most about them! 🙂 xx
I bought the eyeshadow palette (01) and I find the texture to be a bit chalky. I may play around with it…I have dark eyelids, so chalky definitely is not a good look for me. lol. The colours are so pretty though, I really had to buy it when I saw it. Please do a review if you get the palettes. Perhaps I’m clueless.
Got a few of the nail polishes which I’ll be trying out tonight 🙂
