Essence TOO GLAM TO GIVE A DAMN eye shadow palette review/recenzija

IMG_5556

Essence is definitely stepping out their game lately. They have been doing some incredible limited edition collections and their new fall/winter 2018 collection is just amazing. I’m sure you already saw some of their new products, I was impressed by most of their new products. This eye shadow palette looks really pretty and just the packing itself is so on point. I really like the overall look of this palette and shades in this palette are definitely not your everyday shades, but they are definitely perfect for glam looks.

Essence je definitivno brend koji konstantno upotpunjava svoju kolekciju. Nekoliko posljednjih limitiranih kolekcija od Essence-a su bile apsolutni pogodak, također njihova regularna jesen/zima 2018 kolekcija je za divljenje. Sigurna sam da ste već vidjeli nekoliko proizvoda iz ove kolekcije, ja sam bila impresionirana sa nekoliko njih, već ih koristim u svakodnevnoj makeup rutini. Ova paleta sjenila je tako divna. Sviđa mi se kako izgleda, pakiranje je izuzetno lijepo. Nijanse koje dobijete u paleti definitivno nisu neutralne, ali se sa njima može napraviti nekoliko različitih glam izgleda.

Packing is really pretty, I’m in love. They say that this palette is eye and face palette, because you do get one highlighter in this palette. You can read on this palette: “You’ve got great style with this palette of the latest trend shades. You get eight fashionable eye shadows ranging from mattes to high impact effects plus one highlighter. Layer them or use alone each day of the week. You decide the look!”. You get 11 g of product or 0.38 oz.

Pakiranje je vrlo lijepo, meni se baš sviđa. Essence tvrdi da je ovo paleta sjenila za oči i za lice, zato što dobijete i hajlajter u paleti koji možete također koristiti i kao sjenilo za oči. Na paleti možete pročitati: „Možete napraviti različite izglede sa ovom paletom i to sa posljednjim trendy nijansama. U paleti dobijete osam trendy nijansi uključujući mat i šimeraste nijanse, plus jedan hajlajter. Možete ih koristiti zasebno ili ih kombinovati zajedno svakog dana u sedmici. Vi odlučujete koji ćete izgled nositi!“. Dobijete 11 grama proizvoda.

I was really excited to try this palette, because I thought that Essence totally changed their eye shadow formula and look. Shades are absolutely gorgeous, I don’t own any colorful palettes so this is the only “colorful” palette that I own in my collection. I’m usually all about neutrals and basic colors, but with this palette I’ll experiment more. Glittery shadows which are yellow gold, green and purple are really pigmented and packed with shimmer. They look gorgeous all over the lid and definitely they can glammed up every look. Mat shades are not that pigmented, but you can build them up. If you apply two to three layers you will get opaque color. Obviously in the palette you don’t have transition shade, but you can use bronzer that you use on your face so it’s fine. Highlighter in this palette is really gorgeous, it’s golden but with peachy under tone. It’s not intensly pigmented but you can build it up easily.

Bila sam vrlo uzbuđena kada sam vidjela ovu paleticu u PR paketiću od Essence-a. Essence je promjenio mnoge formulacije proizvoda koje imaju u svojoj kolekciji, tako je isto sa sjenilama za oči. Nijanse koje dobijete u ovoj paleti su vrlo lijepe, ja nemam ovakve nijanse u svojoj kolekciji. Ja inače samo imam palete sa neutralnim sjenilima, ovo je moja prva paleta koja ima neke neobične boje sjenila. Šljokaste nijanse u ovoj paleti su vrlo lijepe i formulacija im je super. Sjenila su vrlo pigmentovana, lijepo se nanose i sa četkicom i sa prstima. Šljokaste nijanse u paleti su zlatna, zelena i svijetlo ljubičasta. Ove nijanse su idealne za posebne glam izglede, lako naprave od običnog izgleda jedan glam lijepi izgled na očima. Mat nijanse nisu pigmentovane kao šljokičaste, ali se lako mogu pojačati ako se nanesu dva do tri sloja sjenila. U ovoj paleti nema neke prelazne nijanse za sjenila, ali za to možete koristiti bronzer koji inače koristite na licu. Hajlajter iz palete je vrlo lijep, ima zlatnu boju koja ima malo narandžastog podtona. Hajlajter nije pretjerano pigmentovan, ali se može intenzivirati ako nanesete dva sloja.

I would recommend this palette. It’s not something you can find in Essence offer all the time, so make sure to grab this one if you like the colors. Glittery shadows are absolutely stunning and they work beautifully all over the lid. I think this palette is really nice, you should try it. That’s all from me today. I hope you enjoyed this review. Let me know did you try this palette maybe? What do you think about shades in this palette? Would you love to try it if you didn’t already? Thank you for reading. Have a nice day! xx

Ja bih preporučila ovu paletu. Mislim da ova paleta nije nešto što nalazite stalno u Essence ponudi, tako da je trebate nabaviti dok još možete ako vam se sviđaju boje koje dolaze u paleti. Šljokičaste nijanse u paleti su vrlo pigmentovane i izgledaju prelijepo na očnim kapcima. Mislim da je ovo kvalitetna paleta sjenila, ja je preporučujem. To je sve od mene za danas. Nadam se da vam se svidjela ova recenzija. Recite mi da li ste probali ovu paletu? Da li vam se sviđaju nijanse sjenila koje dolaze u ovoj paleti? Da li biste probali ovu paletu ako već niste? Hvala vam na čitanju. Želim vam lijep dan! xx

  2. Essence has impressed me so much lately, especially with their new eyeshadow palettes. The same thing with the packaging, as you said. I’ve seen so many pictures and read so many reviews and I’m so thrilled about everything. This palette reminds me a lot of the MAC cosmetics palettes that were released a few months ago. I love the pops of colour and the glitter shades sound really good. I haven’t had the opportunity to go to the drugstore but you have convinced me that I must go and buy or swatch new Essence products. I really want to try this palette because it looks really nice. Amazing post, as always! xx

  3. They definitely stepped their game up with this new collection. I waited for them to bring good eye shadow palettes for really long and I have to admit they are getting better at eye shadow formula. I got one eye shadow palette from limited edition collection and it’s incredible, such a good quality. I can’t wait to see your thoughts on new Essence realeses, I think you and me are the only bloggers on wordpress that talk about Essence goodies haha. xx

  4. Great post. I actually thought that was a M.A.C palette when I first saw the pic because they have palettes with that exact layout. I enjoy Essence as a great affordable brand but I haven’t been super impressed with their eye shadow formula. Maybe I should give it a second chance.

  5. Yes, it is definitely very similar. They were definitely inspired by MAC palettes. They changed the formula quite a bit, so definitely give these a swatch in drugstore, they are much more pigmented and smooth than before. xx
