essence Makeup reviews and discussion

Essence Eye Makeup Remover is gentle yet effective, it wipes off mascara and liner without tugging or irritation. Lightweight and non-greasy, it doesn’t leave a heavy film. Great for sensitive eyes and everyday use. Quick, easy, and budget-friendly, exactly what I want from an eye remover.

The product is worth the money, it definitely is a good option for those that don’t want to spend much on makeup, but it is somewhat clumpy and dries out after a few months of use so may require a more continued investment.

The Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara honestly surprised me! For such an affordable price, it gives dramatic volume and length that really mimics the look of falsies. 🖤 It can smudge a bit after long hours, but for everyday glam on a budget—it’s a winner. 👑

I was honestly surprised by how good this mascara is — super affordable and holds a curl all day. It gives my lashes volume without clumping, and it doesn’t smudge even in the heat. If you’re on a budget but want drama, this one’s a win. 💦👁️

This gloss gives an instant juicy shine with a slight plumping effect—without the sting. It feels smooth, not sticky, and adds a fresh, glossy look to any makeup. Super affordable and perfect for everyday glam💋✨💗

Lash & Brow Serum: I finished the whole thing but saw no results. Eyeliner: Really good! Super black, bold, and long-lasting. Clear Brow Gel: Holds brows nicely and looks natural. I like it. Makeup Fixing Spray: Feels refreshing but didn’t really make my makeup last longer.

Essence make up is a great brand for affordable make up. Recently I tried their “What the Fake” plumping lipgloss. It really does plump your lips but doesn’t sting it. Your lips will look full and shine all night. Definitely recommend especially at that price.

Essence makes a really nice eye shadow palette for a reasonable price. I like how they offer palettes in neutral colors. Too many competitor's palettes are full of colors that are fun, but not professional or appropriate for work. Essence offers the best of both worlds: some really colorful, glittery options (like the Welcome to Sin City palette) for $9.99 and some nice, earth-toned neutrals (like the Taupe It Up and Nothing Compares to Nude palettes) for only $3.99. You just can't beat the prices.

I finally bought this after reading so many positive reviews. I use it under my eye area. It helps to cover some of the darkness, but I still have darkness in the creases of my eyes so I usually dab a little concealer on that area alone and then use this powder on the rest of the eye. That usually takes care of the darkness under my eyes. I apply the powder with a curve bronzer brush, it fits the shape of my eye and I can use the corner if I need to get in the crease. Plus I think it looks less cakey with a brush rather than a face pad.

Again, another fantastic inexpensive line at the drugstore! Essence connects quality ingredients and formulas with accessible prices. I love their lip oils, mascaras, and this excellent brow glue. I do think their packaging could use some work, but otherwise they’re a 10/10 for me!

Essence is that girl when it comes to affordable makeup 💅🏼💖 Used their eyeshadows, mascaras, and so many of their products — and honestly? They deliver way more than you'd expect for the price! ✨ The eyeshadows are smooth, blendable, and surprisingly pigmented. 👁️ The mascaras? LEGIT. Especially Lash Princess — lifts, separates, and gives volume like high-end ones. Essence makes it easy to look good without breaking the bank 💸🫶🏼

**Today I’d like to share my impressions of the Essence Juicy Bomb lip gloss.** This is the first time I’ve come across a gloss in this format, so I’m excited to show it to you and tell you how much I liked it! **General Information** - **Name:** Essence Juicy Bomb Lip Gloss - **Brand:** Essence - **Volume:** 10 ml - **Country of Origin:** Italy **Product Appearance** **Packaging:** I really love the look of this gloss. Everything is designed beautifully—cute, pink, and compact. The gloss comes in a small plastic tube that feels soft to the touch. It’s very convenient to carry in a purse or makeup bag as it doesn’t take up much space. The front of the tube displays the brand and product name, while the back provides all the essential details, including the ingredients, country of origin, and expiration date. The cap is screw-on and seals tightly, so nothing leaks or gets messy—I can confidently carry it in my bag or makeup case. The **slanted applicator** turned out to be super convenient for application. The gloss spreads evenly and applies effortlessly. **Fragrance and Texture** - **Fragrance:** Delightfully sweet and pleasant—it never gets overwhelming. - **Texture:** Medium-thick, completely non-sticky. It doesn’t smudge and leaves a glossy finish. You can even layer it over matte lipsticks. I’d definitely call it a universal gloss that’s likely to suit almost everyone. There’s also a range of shades to choose from! ### **My Impressions and the Effect** I had an excellent experience with this gloss. I loved its convenient format and great quality. It’s very comfortable to use—the applicator glides over the lips, ensuring even application and economical use. On the lips, the gloss looks amazing. It visually enhances the lips, making them appear fuller, plumper, and more luscious. All shades look very natural, making this gloss perfect for everyday makeup. **Conclusion** I absolutely recommend this gloss! It impressed me with its fragrance, quality, and how it looks on the lips. There are plenty of shades available, so even if you’re unsure about this particular color, you’re bound to find one that suits you. Overall, this brand appeals to me for its excellent price-to-quality ratio, and this gloss is no exception. **Pros:** - Convenient and compact packaging - Soft, slanted applicator - Applies evenly - Natural and versatile shades - Moisturizes lips and visually enhances volume - Non-sticky texture - Long-lasting with color staying all day - Sweet candy-like fragrance and taste - Great price-to-quality ratio

This mascara is to die for! Super affordable, easy to use, great brush. The best part is that this product is waterproof - it’s game changer during winter and windy days 💐

The essence nail care polish helped a lot to strengthen my nails. I highly recommend it!

Their lip liners and pencils are the BEST. Also, for under $3 you can't go wrong!!! I've received so many compliments when wearing them too.

Truly cannot go wrong with any of Essence's lash princess mascaras. They were so popular and for good reason. They are affordable and good quality. Lots of product inside, not clumpy.

BEST mascara and affordable. 10/10 recommend.

Essence is an affordable brand with lots of vegan options. Nail polishes split off after about 2 days. Mascara and any other eye(brow) pencils have solid quality considering the price.

i love this brand, i think that it doesn't matter how much it cost a product, it has it good quality. perfect for everyone, perfect who loves makeup but doesn't want to spend a lot.

I’m giving 4 stars only because the price-to-value ratio is very good; otherwise, I would give 3 stars. The quality varies from product to product. For example, I like the matte liquid lipsticks the most. They are highly pigmented and stay on the lips for a long time (though they do dry them out a bit). I also have the lip scrub and the lip mask. The scrub isn’t exactly a proper scrub since it doesn’t have large enough particles—I have other scrubs that are much better. However, the mask has a sticky texture and stays on the lips overnight.
