Essence You Rock Collection - LOVE, PEACE, AND PURPLE

This really caught my eye in the store when it came out ages ago. I loved all the purple shimmer in it.
However it sadly didn't transfer onto the nail so well..... or at all....... :( It looked mostly like poo on my nails, with a hint of purple shimmer at just the right angle..... Another failed mani.......

French Mani Fail :(

I just cant get a French Mani to look good..... It just looks so bad on me..... But i put the effort in, so i thought i should share the fail lol!

Essence - Gold Rush

This looked so pretty in the bottle..... But turned into a frosty, streaky, disgusting fail on my nails :( Thinking i might just chuck it, i really hate it that much.... Bleh!

Essence on clearance at Target!

To all the aussie ppl out there, i went to Target yesterday, and saw heaps of the Essence core line with clearance stickers on them. Quite a few nail colours, also alot of the baked eyeshadows, normal eyeshdows, some of the mascaras, blushes, and also some eye pencils. Worth checking out i think. I picked up two nail polishes for $1 each! Score!

Essence - Vampire's Love - 04 The Dawn Is Broken - Nail Polish Swatches

I almost didnt get this one, but i caved (as i so often do). I have never worn a grey polish before, so i had no idea what this would look like on...... This polish is pure beauty in a bottle. One of my favourite polishes to date. I cant get over how great this looked on my nails :)
This is 2 gorgeous coats of Essence The Dawn Is Broken

Essence - Bondi Beach Sun Club - Haul - with swatches of - 04 BBC Orange Sunset Nail Polish

So when i saw Essence Au put this up on their FB i went straight to my local target....... To find it not there :( But the Essence FB team are great, they checked in store for me to see what was going on, and let me know where i could find it. So off i went to Target again, and there it was :) So i resisted from getting everything (this week.... don't tell hubby.....) and just got 3 polishes and one eyeliner. I decided to start off with Orange Sunset Nail Polish. This is my first ever orange polish! I have had corals, but never orange. Now the application was not all that flash. Bald spots and dragging was a bit annoying, but the colour was worth it :) My camera went mental trying to pick up this colour. It really is more neon than i could get. The pictures are either too dark, or too washed out :( But i picked the best of the 35+ photos i took. So my pictures are a bit to dark here, they are more neon irl. This is 3 coats of Essence - Bondi Beach  Sun Club 04 Orange Sunset

I will also have a review of the Gel Eyeliner up in the next few days :)

Essence - Into The Dark

This is a really beautiful colour :) I LOVED it! However it was deceptive because it looked lighter and had alot more glitter in the bottle. On the nail you really couldnt see much glitter at all, and it dried quite a bit darker. But i really did love the end result. I tried to get some pics when i had it on, but there was no sun at all, it was so dark outside all day :(

Essence Nail Polish 78 Blue Addicted

This is a beautiful polish. I wish my camera wasnt broken :( Im using my phone camera at the moment till i get a new one. I couldnt even to begin to capture the amazingness of this polish. Im going back to Target this week to pick up a backup or two :p I used 3 coats, and even thought it was thick, it dried quite quick.

Essence is here in Australia!

Im so excited :p You can now find full stands of Essence Cosmetics in Target stores all around Australia! I died when i saw the prices.... SO CHEAP! $2.55 for a 5ml nail polish. Heaps of other stuff too, eyeshadows, mascaras, eyeliners, lipglosses, foundation, blush, ect... All of them crazy cheap. So i started off slow and only bought 4 nail polishes :)

I shall be doing swatches off all of them over the next week :)
