Essence Nail: Movie Star and Fabuless

I couldn't decide and choose to have dual nails. Fabuless (thats how its spelled on the bottle) is black with silver specks. Movie Star is a nice grey. I've gotten many comments about it. I love the combo. The last picture is with flash but it doesn't show up like that during the day. Don't forget to subscribe!!! Hope you are enjoying your week. ^_^

Essence Skin Care Review

I picked up Essence at Rossman a few weeks ago. I need a new face wash and cream in my skincare regiment. I usually use Clean & Clear products, their sensitive skin care line is really good. I've used it ever since I was a teenager. Now, I think that it's not doing it for me anymore. I bought Essence on a whim, because it was affordable and my cousin (who also has sensitive skin) has been raving about it.


Text on the back says:

this especially gentle-yet pore deep cleansing gel reliably removes make-up, dirt, and impurities without drying out the skin, the precious active ingredients lime and cucumber clarify refresh and energize for deliciously soft, refreshed skin, and an amazing fresh-fruity smell that makes the daily skincare routine fun

-Apply morning and evening on wet face and gently massage in with light circular movements. Avoid contact with eye and mouth area. Rinse off thoroughly.

-After the cleansing routine, use the refreshing toner and cream from Essence My Skin.

My thoughts:

I don't wear foundation so I don't know if it washes it away. It doesn't dry the skin, it is quite moisturizing. The lime and cucumber smell isn't overly powerful like some products. It's a nice smell, very refreshing. You'll want to gently massage this product with your middle and ring finger in circular motions all over your face, these two fingers are your weakest and you should be gentle with your skin not harsh. That's just the way I've always washed my face. This gel is probably one of the best products I've used in a long time. It leaves your skin feeling cool and refreshed and very smoothe to the touch. I couldn't find the refreshing toner for "All skin types" I have sensitive skin so it has to be an all types or sensitive product. Overall, I love this product and I'll be buying it again.



This is the moisturizing cream gel. On the back it says:

This energizing cream-gel is intensively moisturizing and the light reflecting pigments inside let the skin glow.

-Use morning and nights after cleansing the essence my skin products, apply even on the face and neck area.

My thoughts: This cream is amazingly smooth and moisturizing. You don't need a lot. Just dab with your middle and index finger and apply with soft circular motions. You'll need to take time to work it in because if you don't blend it in, you leave white streaks on your face. The light reflecting is true, if you don't want to look shiny like a disco ball then I wouldn't use it during the day. If your in a building you won't see it, but in the sun oh yeah. Its not a overly powerful glisten but you can tell. Also, the scent is just like the face gel not overly strong its just right. Your skin will be so soft afterwards. I will be buying this again. I'll have to find another facial moisturizer for the daytime.

That's my review on the essence my skin. I would suggest it to a friend these are 1.95 Euro a piece. Great quality for a great price. Until the next review. Take care.
