Essence Fruity Blush sorbet review

Last, but absolutely not least, the Blush sorbet from the Essence Fruity collection. I never used blush because i  did not know how to use it well. after some tutorials  i do know now. I usualy use my pink blush from MNY.  When i saw the blush sorbet in the store, i liked the color with the golden shimmer in it and it has a nice scent. It has a mousse structure and you need a really tiny bit for your cheeks because it smears well.The name of the blush sorbet is: 01 Smoothie operator.

here you can see the shimmer
When putting it on your skin just smear it over your cheecks with your fingers. That works the best for substances like these. It dries quite quickly You will get a healty light pink glow on your cheeks. I like it on my face. It is not to dark or to much when you use a little bit. Perfect for a nice summer day or evening  for the ultimate summer feeling. because it looks and smells like summer in a jar.

You can buy this one at  your local drugstore where they sell  essence. It's not very expensive: 3,29 euro. Be  quick, limited editons from Eccense are not there for a long time.

Here are some pictures from my  cheecks:

Essence Fruity Nailpolish collection review

The Fruity Collection from Essence  contains  five colors of nailpolish, a fruity topcoat, a sealing topcoat and fruity figures to  put on your nails.  The only thing   for the  nails that i did not buy where those figures because they where sold out.

From the 5 colors of nailpolish, 3 are with sparkles. The other two are shiny pastels. In the picture you can see them with the names.


If you out on 2 layers, it gives a semi transparant color. I like that, because it looks  like sumemr should do: light, and sunny. When you put on 3 layers It gives a high opaque and matches the color in the  bottle. To give you the idea about the 2 and 3 layer difference, i've made some photo's with 2 and 3 layers.

05 mashed berries

04 one kiwi a day…(two layers)

04 one kiwi a day…(3 layers)

02 peach beauty

01 banana joe

03 very cherry


Then there are the 2 top coats. The Fruity smelling top coat  smells sweet as in tropical lemonade syrup sweet. If you do not like sweet smell that will stay for  more then one day. Do not use it. Else just enjoy the sweet smell.
The  sealing  topcoat is actually made to seal the  fruity figures on top of your nails. But you can use it also as a normal topcoat on the nailpolish, like i do.

Still available at stores where they  sell Essence. In the Netherlands  you can  buy it at Kruidvat. The nailpolishes you can buy for €1,79. the topcoats are €1,99

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
