There’s a new budget beauty brand that’s landed on our shores and it’s made quite a splash. Hailing from Germany, Essence is a dream come true for the beauty junkie with a kaleidoscope of products at very affordable prices. Opinion is strong from what I’ve picked up on and that is Essence does not compromise on quality.
I’ve only dipped my toes (or should that be fingers?) with their nail polish called Roller Coaster* from Essence’s Colour & Go range, a stunning sea green with a subtle shimmer that is opaque in one coat. It comes with a large flat brush that makes for such an easy-peasy and neat application in one stroke. The proof is I didn’t clean up after (as I usually do with most nail polishes) – what you see is how I managed to paint my nails.
(That’s my cat’s fluffy tum, not a rug by the way.)
There is a total of 43 shades in the collection, which I am highly intrigued to explore on the back of how impressed I am with Roller Coaster. I wouldn’t rely on Essence’s website however because it gives no indication of what the shades truly look like – or their other products in fact – but at £1.99 each, it’s going to be tricky to resist filling up your shopping basket.
Essence is available nationwide in Wilko stores with two stand-alone mini stores in Westfield London and Manchester’s Arndale shopping centre.
