Essence Fruity eyeshadow sorbet review

Essence has a new limited editoin line for this spring. It's named Fruity. The whole collection exsist of 5 colors of nailpolish, a cream blush, 3 colors of eyeshadows, a sealing top coat, a scented topcoat, 2 lipbalms and little fruity figures for on you nails. The lipbalms and fruity figures are the only ones I did not buy.



In this  review I will talk about the eyeshadows. They come in a little glass jar with a pastel colored cap that represents the color in the jar. Price: € 2,79

Here you see all 3 Fruity eyeshadow sorbets



They  all have a little wet mousse structure. The green and pink are a bit more wet then the gold one.
The first one is the peach colored one. It wears the name: 01 peach beauty. It's a pink/peach with metallic shimmer. When looking at it  the metallic gives some kind of pink gold shine.

The second one has the name: 02 banana Joe. This one is my favorite(even got a compliment today about this nice color). It has a yellow/gold color. The shimmers in this one are a bit more bigger. Like mini flakes. Om the eye it gives a combination of silver with gold. That depends on the light.

Number three, the last one, is named: 03 one kiwi a day…. A very light green with a metallic shimmer in it.  That gives it a green/gold metallic shine.

What I absolutely like about this eye shadow sorbet collection is the nice sparkle they all have. Also they do dry very quickly when you put them on. So you do not have to wait to blink with your eyes or to put another layer of it on your eye. It does not smudge or run away. It stays on your eyelids all day. Even when you  touch or rub it  with your finger it will stay on.
To put in on your eyelids, just use your fingers.
For me as a wearer of contact lenses this sort of eye shadow is fantastic. No powder in my eyes. And  fab colors, like these three to wear. They really  give me that feeling that summer is on his way to grey and cold Holland.

Here are some pictures of the eye shadow sorbet on my hand. I've tried  to make them in different angles so that the effect of the metallics and shimmer will be viewable. On all the pictures, from left to right: Peach beauty, One kiwi a day..., Banana Joe
