Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are upto and welcome back to blog post number two of "affordable beauty week" where i am hauling affordable/drugstore makeup and beauty items all week. So for today's post i thought i would share with you some makeup pieces i picked up from the brand Essence, which if you haven't heard anything about them before... Essence is a affordable makeup brand from Europe, they have a huge selection of amazing quality products and they also never test on animals...

XXXL Nude Lipgloss in the shade Shy Beauty - £2.00

Single Eyeshadow in the shade Raindrops on Roses - £1.60

(How many of you just started singing "my favourite things" from The Sound Of Music right now? from the name of the shadow because i did ha ha)

Long Lasting Nude Lipstick in the shade Come Naturally - £2.30

DRUGSTORE MUST-HAVES UNDER £5

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! When it comes to makeup and beauty we all love a good bargain as well as splashing the cash on high-end makeup and the place to be for a good bargain is the drugstore. Like i have said before on various occasions, something that is cheap can certainly be just as cheerful as something that is more expensive. For today's post i thought i would share with you my "drugstore" must-have items and they are all under £5, which i would say is a complete bargain...

MAKEUP MONDAY: ESSENCE HAUL

Hey guys, i hope you all had a great weekend! So for a while now i have been noticing people posting pictures on social media of lots of makeup from the German makeup brand Essence and i thought to myself i wish they sold this in the UK. Then last week to my surprise i discovered that they have now launched in the UK at selected Wilkinson stores and my local store is one of them! Another thing that also impressed me is that all the products in the brand are super affordable with prices ranging from 99p to £3.99. So obviously after making this discovery i had to go and check out the stand, being honest i could of purchased the entire stand but i restrained myself and only bought a handful of products to try out before purchasing more. Here is what i picked out...

 Essence metal glam eyeshadow in the shade 03 frosted apple - £2.49

Essence eyeshadow in the shade 77 sandy says hello - £1.59

Essence superfine eyeliner pen in 01 deep black - £2.49

Essence xxxl long lasting lip gloss in the shade 3 very berry - £2.29

Essence xxxl shine lip gloss in the shade 04 rising star - £1.79

Essence xxxl shine lip gloss in the shade 26 bright side of life - £1.79

 Essence lip liner in the shade 12 wish me a rose - 99p

Essence lip liner in the shade 11 in the nude - 99p

Essence long lasting lipstick in the shade 09 wear berries! - £2.29

  Essence glossy lip balm in the shade mango ice cream - 99p

I am so excited to give all these products a try and let you all know what i think of them. I would love to know whether you have tried Essence and what is your favourite Essence product?
