Essence ''BRIT-TEA'' limited edition (first impressions & swatches)

Hi everyone!

After a looooong time here I am again. I am so busy latelly, so I don't have time to blog.
This colection is probably on many blogs by now, but I'm gonna write about it anyway.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with Essence limited editions, ecpecially if it's cute and girly. So I again fell for this one.


First I'm gonna start with these cute rose shaped earring set, which contains two pairs of earrings in rose and pink colour.

price: 2,19 €

Next one is lip balm, which is packed in a cute small box with a flower opening.

price: 2,49 € for 6g/0.21oz

What does Essence say?
- Beauty gift… the balm pampers your lips and gives them a subtle touch of pink at the same time. Thanks to the cute packaging with a flower opening, this lip balm isn’t just a care highlight - it’s lovely to look at, too.

What I think?
- For me it's very similar to Nivea lip butter raspberry kiss, both are exactly the same colour and the texture is pretty much the same. Nivea one smells like raspberry and this one smells more like vanilla with a little bit of raspberry and has sweet taste. It makes my lips soft and gives them nice light pink colour, as you can see on the swatch bellow.

I also bought two lipglosses. One is apricot and the other one is pink colour.


price: 1,99 € each for 4ml/0.13fl.oz


What does Essence say?
- Tea or coffee? Apricot and pink with iridescent shimmer particles create a cool, shiny finish on your lips. The long-lasting formula feels wonderfully pleasant and offers subtle color dispersion.

What I think?
 - They are very easy to apply and don't stick my lips togerther. I like the smell of both, but I prefer the pink one, because it has much less glitter and it's more milky.

So far I haven't had any illuminating base yes, so I decided to bought this one to try it.

price: 2,79 € for 30ml/1.01fl.oz

What does Essence say?
- Party glow… the illuminating base gives your face a natural, subtle shimmer and a beautiful, radiant complexion. It can be applied as a primer underneath your make-up or used on its own – either way, a subtle glow is guaranteed.

What I think?
- I like the smell of fresh roses. It's quite runny but it doesn't bother me that much. It blends out nicely. I haven't tried it under make up yet so I don't know how it works, but I did try it on my face and i like it. It makes my skin fresh and radiant and it doesn't dry out my skin.

 
Here is how it looks:


I love brushes from Essence, thats why I bought this one to try it and it's cute too.
 
price: 2,19 €

brit-tea eyeshadow brush 01 keep calm and have some tea

The brush has two ends, one thinner and other thicker. The bristles are very soft.


And the last but not the least, nail file with cute tea cups print.

price: 1,39 €


The nail file is small and practical to keep it in your purse and grab it whenever you need it. It's rough enough to easily file your nails with it.



Have you bought any of these products? Which one is your favorite?

Thank you for reading! :)

EMPTIES #2

It's been a while since my last post, so I decided to start blogging again.
Here's my second empties post:


FIRST SOME HAIR PRODUCTS:


1. SYOSS FULL HAIR 5 DENSITY & VOLUME BOOSTER SHAMPOO
- 5 things that Syoss promises with using this shampoo are density, volume, strength, anti-hair fall caused by breakage and root-stimulation. I was using this shampoo every 2-3 days along with the same conditioner for almost 2 months. I didn't expect a lot from it but I can say that this shampoo is totally waste of money. It didn't do anything to my hair, maybe a little bit of volume but that's all. No more strength or root stimulation and my hair still falls down like usually. Although I like the smell.

repurchase: no

2. PANTENE TOTAL DAMAGE CARE CONDITIONER
- I found this conditioner pretty good and it smells nice. It makes hair soft and smooth and easy to comb. I have split ends and I don't want to cut it yet and this conditioner helps me to ''hide'' them.

repurchase: maybe

3. NIVEA DIAMOND GLOSS CARING SHINE CONDITIONER
- average conditioner, it gives hair some shine but not as much as I would expected from it since it's for shineless hair

repurchase: probably not

4. BALEA TREND IT UP LOVELY BERRIES DRY SHAMPOO
- I always use dry shampoo by Syoss, so I decided to try another one and I found this one with cute packaging and when I smelled it in a store I had to buy it. When I first sprayed it on my hair I wasn't satisfied because my scalp started to itch. But after few days I tried it again in a smaller amount and it was great and makes hair fresh and clean for a whole another day.

repurchase: yes, but sadly it was a limited edition

5. SYOSS ANTI-GREASE DRY SHAMPOO
- my all time favorite dry shampoo. It smells nice and fresh, without itching and it doesn't leave white spots on the hair.

repurchase: always

6. ESSENCE ROAD TRIP DRY SHAMPOO
- perfect for traveling and very good dry shampoo, it cleans and refresh without leaving white spots.

repurchase: yes, but again limited edition

BODY PRODUCTS:


1. VEET IN-SHOWER HAIR REMOVAL CREAM
- This is the best hair removal creme for sensitive skin ever. I tried others but I always come back to this one. I don't use it while I'm showering so I don't know how it works in shower but it works great for my sensitive skin. It removes shorter and longer hairs gently after 5 minutes. After using it I don't have problems with redness or irritation.

repurchase: always

2. BALEA SHOWER CREAM COCOS & NEKTARINE
- I like every single one of Balea shower creams but this one is my favorite and the smell is just amazing.

repurchase: not yet, but I have to buy couple of them because it's going to be discounted :(

3. LE PETIT MARSEILLAIS FLEUR D'ORANGER SHOWER CREAM
- The cream has nice relaxing orange blossom scent. It moisturizes and makes the skin soft, hydrated and nourish.

repurchase: yes, but some other scent

4. BALEA STREET ART SHOWER GEL MIT BEERENDUFT
- I don't even know why I bought it, probably because of the berries scent, but the scent fades away while showering. It took so long for me to used it.

repurchase: no

5. CHILLY DELICATE INTIMATE DETERGENT
- We all know why is this for and I think every girl or woman should have one just to keep protected from bacterials, be clean and fresh. I particularly like this one by Chilly but there are so many of them to try it.

repurchase: already, but this time I bought the antibacterial one

DEODORANTS:


1. BALEA COCOS & NEKTARINE DEO ROLL-ON
- I bought this one after trying the same shower cream. I was in love with the smell and I also like it because it's alcohol free. The promising 48h protection is not reliable. Maybe couple of hours with some or none physical activity. I also don't like the white marks left on the clothes after using it and it's too liquid for me.

repurchase: probably not

2. GARNIER DEODORANT NEO INVISIBLE DRY-CREAM
- my favorite deodorant with nice fresh blossom smell without alcohol. You have to squeeze small amount of cream to come out and then apply it under the armpits. It dries quickly and doesn't leave marks on clothes. It's very effective while doing physical activities and the smell stays the whole day.

repurchase: always

3. DOVE ORIGINAL DEODORANT
- average deodorant with nice scent but not so effective as I would love to. 

repurchase: probably not
 
HAND & FACE PRODUCTS:


1. BALEA DIAMANTEN TRAUM CREME SEIFE & 2. BALEA ERDBEERE CREME SEIFE
- cream soaps by Balea that I always buy, just in other scents

repurchase: already did, just other scent

3. GARNIER INTENSIVE CARE REPAIRING HAND CREAM
- this hand cream is really good if you have dry or very dry hands. It gives a thin greasy film on hands to moisturizes them. After using it the hands are soft and gentle. The only thing I didn't like it is too fake scent.

repurchase: maybe

4. GARNIER MOISTURE MATCH CREAM FOR DRY TO VERY DRY SKIN
- I have very dry skin on my face, especially on cheeks and around nose and I've been looking so long for the perfect cream and I finnaly found it. This cream is everything my face needs, It hydrates my skin for the whole day and it doesn't feel tight and greasy. It's paraben free.

repurchase: always

LIP PRODUCTS:


1. CLINIQUE VITAMIN C LIP SMOTHIE 12 PEACH POWER
- good lip product for cracked lips, a little sticky, but I'm fine with that. I also think it's too expensive, it's nothing better then lip smoother by Catrice

repurchase: probably no

2. ESSENCE LOVE LETTERS JUMBO SHEER STICK 02 DEAR PEACH!
- another good lip product if you have cracked lips. I like that it's a little creamy and makes lips smooth and hydrated.

repurchase: maybe, but it was limited edition

3. BALEA MANDELTRAUM LIP BALM
- I didn't like the scent, but it's good lip balm and makes lips soft

repurchase: no

4. ESSENCE GLOW TINTED LIP BALM 03 BRIGHTEN UP!
- I really like this lip balm and it's hot pink color. It makes lips soft and smooth and what's interesting is that even the next day you can see leftovers on your lips.

repurchase: no, because I still have 2 more from Wave goddes limited edition

5. ESSENCE LONGLASTING LIPSTICK 11 NUDE LOVE
- I have all the colors of that lipsticks, except the black one (19 black gossip) and I love them. They are cheap and good. I mixed this lipstick with the Essence glow tinted lip balm mentioned above and got nice nude pink color.

repurchase: already did

RANDOM:


1. ESSENCE NAIL POLISH CORRECTOR PEN
- it's not great and it's not bad, it's something in between, but it does what it's supposed to do.

repurchase: maybe

2. ESSENCE STUDIO NAILS 4IN1 PROFI FILE
- I like this file a lot, it's so easy to shape nails with it

repurchase: already did

3. KISS 4-WAY NAIL SHAPER
- another good file, maybe even better then the Essence one. But they are both easy to do with them.

repurchase: maybe

4. ESSENCE EXTRA LONGLASTING EYELINER PEN
- It's really good eyeliner until it dries out. It eays and precise to apply eyeliner if you try.

repurchase: no, because I got one for free when I bought the Essence Lash princess volume mascara

5. NIVEA PURE & SENSITIVE BABY WIPES
- I use baby wipes all the time. For cleaning hands, refreshing, etc.

repurchase: always

6. BALEA FUSS BADE KRISTALLE
- I always soak my feet in salt crystals for softening skin before I do pedicure. I found this one really good and they also smell nice. After soaking for 10 minutes I do my pedicure and it's so easy to remove hard skin.

repurchase: already did


What about you, have you tried any of these products yet?


Thanks for reading and commenting!

Love,
Sanyd ;)

EMPTIES #1

Here is my first empties post:


First some make up products I've used up:


Essence I ♥ extreme crazy volume mascara

- I was always using L'oreal Paris double extension carbon black mascara and then I found this one and now I'm using it all the time

repurchase: yes

Essence eyeliner pen extra long lasting

- I bought this one after reading positive reviews about it on lots of blogs, but I was disappointed. It just didn't came out, like it was dr.

repurchase: no

Essence glow tinted lip balm - 03 brighten up!

- I like it, it makes my lips soft and it's really pigmented, even the next day I can see some leftovers on my lips

repurchase: maybe

Alverde color & care lipstick in shade 57 vibrant terra

- I like the texture and I like the shade

repurchase: yes

Balea Zucker Schnutte lip balm

- good lip balm, makes my lips soft and smooth

repurchase: yes, but it was limited edition

Other products I've used up:


Essence pure skin anti-spot micro peeling

- I thinkg I bought this 2-3 months ago only because it came with cleansing pad I wanted. It's gel with micro beads that gently remove my dead skin cells, just the scent is kinda medical for me which I don't really like. As far as blackheads I can't tell if it's effective or not, because I don't have problems with that.

repurchase: probably not

Essence my skin 4in1 cleansing cream

- I really like this one, it's soap free, for all skin types and the scent is nice too (pomegranate & bamboo). It says that the cream deeply cleans, refines, moisutrizes and mattifies skin and I agree with everytihng except with moisturizing ( I have dry skin and it doesn't do anything for my skin)

repurchase: yes

Balea handcreme Beautiful berries

- that cream smells amazing, that's all I'm gonna say

repurchase: yes, but it was limited edition :(

Balea soft & care perfect teint

- I bought it in shade naturell a long time ago, I don't remember if other shades were available. The texture is ok but it's too shiny for me. It has small glitters and when you put it on your face - it doesn't look good.

repurchase: no


Balea beruhigende hautcreme

- I always use this cream after depilation, epilation or shaving. It calms and moisturizes my skin.

repurchase: already did

Essence nail polish remover

- the only nail polish remover I always go back to

repurchase: already did

MIYO remove me!

- the worst nail polish remover I've ever had. It takes time to remove all nail polish.

repurchase: no


Balea deo roll-on mango vanille & Balea roll-on Zucker Schnute

- I always like deo roll-ons from Balea, they are alcohol free and the price is under 1€.

repurchase: yes, but those two were limited edition


Balea deospray Funky jungle

- average deospray

repurchase: no and it was limited edition I think

L'oreal Paris Elnett hairspray - normal hold

- one of my favorite hairsprays

repurchase: already did, but a bigger one

Intesa styling ecofix hairspray with nettle extract and panthenol

- average hairspray

repurchase: maybe
