Essence Fairytale LE Haul

Good morning beloved followers!

I was in Lower Austria last weekend with my boyfriend and we drove to a Müller and there was a full!! display of Essence's new Fairytale collection. It's so crazy how no one seems to give a damn for Essence except beauty addicts in Vienna *gg*

I bought the shimmer powder, one nail polish, one lipgloss and one eyeshadow:



Such pretty sparkle.. Swatch will follow soon!



It's doesn't have that weird yellow undertone it has on the picture


It is a cute peach and I thought lets try it


And on to the swatches:


One gotta admit that the lipgloss is very unpigmented but it is still cute, no staining either.
During swatching the eyeshadow felt a bit crumbly, we'll see how it works on the eyes. The shimmer powder has a quite fine and smooth texture. :-)


So what about you guys, getting anything??

Love,
Guinevere

i don't think I'll buy anything from this le.. maybe if the things are on clearence at DM, but the polish colors aren't that unique that I'd hunt them down. (but I love the cute packaging)

I'm a sucker for cute packaging too but I don't buy anything from Essence anymore. The quality of the products isn't great as far as I think. I was let down by their gel liner from the denim wanted collection (dried out product after just 2 weeks), the nail polish and the lipgloss I bought from the twilight collection was sh** too. oh and let's not forget about the shimmer powder from the return to paradise collection. such a waste of money. their nail polish chips on me after just one day of wear and basically everything I ever bought from essence disappointed me :/

@Lilly I understand your disappointment.. :-( I hate it when products dry out..

@Anonymous: there is a swatch beside the eyeshadow, if you enlarge the pic you can see the gold shimmer on the back of my hand, it is very subtle gg
