Essence Fall/Winter 2015 Collection Review

Essence Fall/Winter 2015 Collection Review

Subtle nudes and soft neutrals

I know we’re in the dead of summer, but it’s never too early to talk Fall. I attended an Essence Paint Night a few weeks ago and absolutely fell in love with the entire Essence Fall/Winter 2015 Collection. As much as I love fun, bright colours in the summer, I look forward to slipping into something more comfortable with subtle nudes and soft neutrals in the Fall. This season Essence brings a new member to the Royal Lash Family, gel manicures without a UV lamps, along with shimmery bronzers to help extend your summer glow right into September and October. Transitioning into the slightly cooler months have never looked so gorgeous.

Nails are still going to be a huge trend for Fall, but if you’re anything like me, you hate going to the salon to get a fresh gel manicure every other week. This season, Essence introduces an innovated nail polish formula that will provide you will an incredible long-lasting, gel finish without the use of a UV lamp. This will not only save you time, but its affordable price will let you experiment with an array of different shades based on your mood. It comes with a colour crush technology that ensures intensive colour, combined with perfect, opaque coverage in a single swipe. You simply apply the Essence base coat that’s formulated to help improve the durability of the gel polish by 60%, followed by the colour gel coat and set with the top coat to help protect, seal in colour and provide incredible shine. Best part, you can easily remove the colour with traditional nail polish remover. It’s available in 16 new and glossy shades for $2.99 each, along with the Gel Nail Polish Base and Top Coat for $4.49 each.

If you missed the Essence How To Make Nude Eyes Make-Up Box during the holiday, it’s back. It comes packaged in a sturdy cardboard box with large inside mirror and instructions on how to create a classic nude look in soft brown tones or a daring party look with a bit more color for the evening. It contains 6 shades in both matte and shimmer finishes with a soft and creamy texture that gives a subtle hint of colour to the eyes. Each shade blends beautifully together, although you’ll need to build up the colour to see any sort of colour. It’s more of a sheer wash of colour than opaque, but still gives a beautiful finish. Eye Light Beige is an extremely bright vanilla, almost white beige with tiny micro shimmer throughout it that would be as a highlighter. Go for Gold is a soft, shimmery gold. An Eye on Apricot is a pale peachy pink with a slight shimmer. All about Nude is a unique nude with a slightly lilac undertone and a slight shimmer. Nude Night Out is a shimmery chocolate brown, and the darkest shade in the palette. Finally, Team Nude is a reddish, shimmery bronze. It retails for $9.99.
