Good makeup doesn't have to drain your bank account. There are more and more drugstore releases that are not only noteworthy...but give high end brands a run for their money! One example is the Bonjour Montreal eyeshadow palette from Essence. It was shockingly impressive. And shockingly inexpensive. It included nine buttery eyeshadows with intense pigmentation for only $12 CDN. Though Essence has had an awful lot of hits and misses, this themed eyeshadow palette is without question a must-have. In fact, it is the best Essence product I have ever tried. Ready to take a look inside the Bonjour Montreal eyeshadow palette? Find out what makes it so special? Here is everything you need to know.
Now for the fun stuff. Those shimmer shades! They totally shocked me with how incredible they are. The texture is smooth and buttery. It has a really high end feel. The colour payoff is also stellar. They have an intensity that is truly remarkable. Though I love all of the shimmers, my favourites are the two golds. They apply so effortlessly and make a real impact. Honestly, this is an eyeshadow palette I would take with me during travel (whenever we are able to travel again) because the quality is high, it has lots of versatility, and each shade serves a purpose. This is an absolutely incredible drugstore palette.
The Bonjour Montreal eyeshadow palette is close to perfect. The only misses? I wish there were names given to each eyeshadow shade. They could've had cute Montreal-themed names to really tie in the theme. It also would've also been wonderful if those matte shades had a little more intensity. That way, they would've been on par with those incredible shimmer shadows. Want to see the palette in action? Below is a makeup look putting those gold shades to the test.

DeleteOh wow! This palette sounds awesome! I was just at Shoppers the other day and was so tempted with the Essence line...will keep an eye out for this palette for sure. Thanks for the heads up, Shannon:) And yah....too bad they didn't name the shades after Montreal places. That would've been even more awesome:D
