Essence 3D Eyeshadow in Irresistible Mermaid Kiss

Hello dears!

Hope all of you are safe and dry. 
The typhoon is really scary. It's the strongest one ever recorded! Manila (where I'm from) experienced some wind and rain but not so much that would cause flood or fallen trees. But places in the Visayas region are devastated so let's include them in our prayers and hope that everything will be better soon.

So let's add a bit of cheer to this gloomy weather and talk about this eyeshadow from Essence Cosmetics...



Essence 3D Eyeshadow in Irresistible Mermaid Kiss


Some info from at the back.
Only 6 months shelf life? :(

More info from the website:

innovative and unique: the essence duo eyeshadow with a 3d look and a 3d effect is here! the 3mm-high relief design offers an ultimate 3d look and the ultra-light eyeshadow texture creates a cool finish with a 3d effect – from satin to metallic to shimmering - upon application. the excellent color-dispersion and high coverage leave nothing to be desired. applied moist, the 3d duo eyeshadow guarantees even more intense results.

A closeup of the eyeshadow.

I super like the detail! It suits the name and it just looks beautiful. I also like that the cover is clear so that you can see that gorgeous detail!

Below are the swatches:

They are pigmented and sparkly. I think too sparkly for my liking... but hey, I think it would look great for a mermaid-inspired makeover!
Lasting power is pretty decent and with the right primer, it can last the whole day on my oily lids. It's not powdery and the texture is okay... the glitters are fine and soft but not to the point that it feels silky. 

So that's that for my post about Essence's 3D Eyeshadow in Irresistible Mermaid Kiss.

Keep safe, guys!

Cheers,
DAWN

  4. Soooo pretty. I'm a huge sucker for teals and navy blues on the eyes. I have a base of this color but not a shadow! I love it!
