I really like a lot of products from Essence BUT my problem with the brand is their colour range or should I say lack of. It amazes me that in 2023 they still haven’t improved after so much complaint from their customers. Another problem I have, and this is not the brand’s fault, is that here in Sweden we can’t buy the whole range. So if there’s a product that comes in a shade/colour that shows up on me, it’s not available here. All and all I really like the brand, and I’m definitely going to buy the two primers you recommended. Thanks for a great video! 💕

Yes I definitely agree! I saw some responses from the brand that they promised to do better after their most recent foundation/concealer launch. We’ll see if that’s the case but I was surprised to see a lack of range since their Pretty Natural foundation had a significantly better range than previous launches.

What I find annoying is that they only sell the other foundation shades and other products online. Some of them aren't even available anymore. Those six pan eyeshadow palettes are not available in Austria and Germany anymore, and I don't get it. 🤦♀️

I don't think they stock their full collection anywhere, it's a strategy to limit the space they need to take up (and thus pay for) in stores. But I agree, it's really annoying having to guess your shade online!

@@NadiaLevy-sc1ix Nadia dear, sorry! My son’s kitty just jumped on my iPad screen! She misses him so. They are so intuitive! I was just starting to tell you that I wrote the above comment before I lost my youngest son last November. I really haven’t bought a lot of anything since I lost him! So glad to hear that you work for Catrice! What an amazing brand. I tell all my friends and family about your concealers, which are, imho, better than some of the high end brands! I tested your under eye brightener next to the Becca/Smashbox under eye brightener and I liked the Catrice one much better because it lasted longer, never settled into line and wrinkles at a fraction of the cost. Your foundations are beautiful! Your powder blushes are amazing. They blend out beautifully by themselves or over cream/liquid blushes. You can layer them where they go from a pretty flush of color to a vibrant hue. The only thing I wasn’t excited for were the mascaras. But I haven’t tried them in years, almost 10, when I purchased them in Rite Aid. Thank you for letting me share my memories of happier times. My son knew how passionate I was about makeup and skincare and would buy me subscription boxes all the time. Enjoy the rest of your summer, your reply made this old lady smile! Thank you so much and bless you!🙏🏻🥰💄🪽

Hi Andrea, great video! New, very happy follower. For a drugstore brand, could you look at Neutrogena? I'm 50, but I was a huge fan in the 90's and then moved on to department store brands. In the current economy any additional drugstore brands would be appreciated. I've also liked quite a few of the Believe Beauty brands products at Dollar General. Not that you asked for other ideas, but :) now that we're in July could you suggest some humidity proof make-up? I'm in Florida and there is no escaping it. Finally, again, I'm old, you've mentioned your family and friends you gift makeup to, any chance we could get some recommendations for mature skin? And a guest mature make-up session would be awesome. Thank you again, you have really provided me some wonderful entertainment and relief over the past several months. I appreciate your clarity, vulnerability, and honesty.

GREAT VIDEO! I'm so glad you did this video on Essence. I have a couple of items from Essence but I was curious about their other products. I just bought the new blush, but I haven't tried it yet. The one item I can't get enough of is The Blush "Bespoke". I've never really gotten into bronzers. When I started using this blush, I realized that it was the perfect color to go up higher to my temples. It's kind of like a blush/bronzer. It does last a decent amount of time but I've tried to find this color and finish in a longer wearing product and I can't find it. This is my most favorite blush I've ever worn. I probably discovered it from your channel. Thank you so much for mentioning scents and taste. It matters so much to me. Cosmetic fragrances cause me to have horrible headaches. Thank you again. Have a wonderful week.

Yes they still make the Pretty Natural liquid foundation, and it is still $7. It has been my foundation for 5 yrs now. I feel like everyone looks for certain things in their foundation, and we're not all the same. Something this foundation gives me that is hard to find is that it doesn't oxidize (or very little). Also it has great staying power- even w/o a primer.

I am patiently waiting for a local store to stock the water stains and restock the little green eyeshadow palettes, but i may have to order them. Our town had a mega boom and you can tell that beauty purchases here arent matching up with our new demographics (they forgot that we have a rural vibe, every demo buys way less makeup here). so most stores are being very cautious about restocks, essence doesnt refill the display til over 75% is sold. And I miss their chrome liquid eyeliner so much!! All of those formulas, regardless of brand, have a short shelf life, but I got the absolute most out of that product. Sadly, I seem to have bought the last one in town and never could track it down - even online - again.
