Every now and then, some beauty essentials are needed. The eyeshadow primer that I was using ran out, so it was time to check the drugstore offerings. While I was there, it quickly became clear that Essence was the main brand of interest thanks to the affordable price and the assortment of products available. On that note, here is a mini Essence essentials haul.
In recent years, drugstore makeup items have become far more expensive. Despite the increases seen across the board, Essence has remained an affordable and accessible brand. I was able to find all of the essential items that I needed for a reasonable price. To start, there were two Correct and Conceal products. The first was the Anti Redness Concealer and the second was the Under Eye Brightening Concealer. (It wasn't until later on that I realized I purchased something for deep skin tones, as I thought these were more colour correcting in nature. However, it all turned out well, because a small amount of the Under Eye Brightening Concealer underneath my foundation addressed my undereye circles well.) The Anti Redness Concealer is amazing and does an excellent job of tackling redness. This is something that I have been applying to the area around my nose and a little bit on my cheeks. The Under Eye Brightening Concealer may have been purchased in the wrong colour, but it works well despite that. A small amount on my under eye area before applying my foundation effectively combats dark circles.
Next was the Eyebrow Designer Brow Pencil, which is something that I have used and loved many times in the past. The last time that I visited the drugstore, this product was not available, so another brow pencil was purchased. Seeing it available this time around, it made sense to purchase one to use in the future. I chose the shade Deep Brown. The last product in this Essence mini haul is the Jelly Grip Eyeshadow Primer. Since my eyeshadow loves to crease on me during the warmer months, it was important to find something to combat that. This is described as long-lasting, intensifying, and crease free. The primer has a jelly consistency, but doesn't feel sticky or uncomfortable. It also prevents my eyeshadow from creasing on me, which is fabulous. It is definitely something that I would repurchase in the future. The primer is affordable and works as described.
Though many products at the drugstore are no longer affordable (some mascaras can be as much as $20 CDN), brands like Essence continue to deliver quality products for a reasonable price. The Correct and Conceal items were $5.99 CDN, the Jelly Grip Eyeshadow Primer was $4.99 CDN, and the Eyebrow Designer Brow Pencil was $3.49. Not bad for a handful of essentials.
