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!

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.
