New at ULTA? (Or maybe just new to me??) - Essence
8:31 AMWhile wandering through Ulta this past weekend, I noticed an end-cap in the "drug store" section for a brand called essence. Now, either I haven't been to Ulta in a while (which is true!), or else there is a new brand in the house! Their webpage is great and gives alot of detail about each of the products. There is even a page dedicated to their new arrival at Ulta! My favorite part of all, though, would be the fact that they don't test on animals!
Talk about a bonanza! There were so many bright and shiny colors on this display I didn't know what to do! And, the prices...talk about a steal! The nail polish run at $0.99 a piece, and I think the most expensive thing I saw were some of the eyeshadows and quads which ran around $2.99-$3.99. This display was full of fun stuff to try out - there were over 15 colors of nail polish, liquid eyeliners, pencil eyeliners, glitter eyeliners, eyeshadows, baked shadows, eyeshadow quads, approximately 4-5 different types of mascara (from volumizing to length, to both!), foundations, blushes...*phew*...the list goes on!
Now, obviously since I haven't tried this brand, I had to pick up some things to play around with. I chose a glitter eyeliner, lipgloss, and mascara. I am anxious to give them a try, and will post about them here shortly. The mascara reminded me of the DiorShow tube, so I'm hoping that is a prelude of things to come (at a fraction of the price!).
Have any of you lovelies tried this brand essence? If so, I'd love to hear!

Essence was there at my first trip to Ulta, during March. I really wish I had picked up more stuff! I'll have to when I move in August, there's an Ulta where I'm going :D
ReplyDeletehere in belgium we've had essence for a couple of years now. the prices are unbelievable!
ReplyDeletesome products are not very good, but others do work fantastic. But at those prices, you can experiment a bit and find out what works for you!
