Hi guys! How you guys been doing? Having a great week? Today I am going to review a foundation that i have been using for quite sometime now. It is from Essence. I'm not sure again where is this brand come from. I pretty much have heard about it a long time but never get my hands on their product. So that day, while looking a nice affordable foundation around Watson, I saw this. Of course, the first time i saw it, I'm attracted by the packaging.
Pigmentation: 8 / 10
It does have a true colors. What you see is what you get. As i blended, the color seems pretty nice. Not much of a change to its color. I might say it is a medium coverage foundation that is builable to a full coverage foundation. Leaving skin to a semi matte result.
Texture: 8/10
Blendable texture. The texture is a semi cream to liquid, not to runny not to creamy. Pretty light and easy to blend.
Scent: 7/10
It have this kinda cleanser type of scent if you know what i mean. Im not that good at describing scent. Haha! But it has a scent to it.
Longevity: 6/10
It claims to be a 16 hour long lasting makeup. After testing it for a week now. I might say, it is not 16 hour long lasting makeup. It pretty much stay around 6-8hours actively running here and there with our hot humid weather and cold air condition room. After then, it tends to fade and oil start appearing just like the other foundation i have used.
Packaging: 9/10
I really love the packaging. Especially the pump that the bottle comes with. The design of the bottle is pretty nice too.
Availability:9/10
You can easily get it at any participate Watson near you. It comes in nice 4 different shades that is quite different from others. Im surprise that my shade is the lightest shade that they have, because usually i have to get the middle tone of a foundation shade because i am not that fair. See picture above for the swatches and shade available.
Price: 10/10
I give it 10! Super cheap and affordable! Guess what? RM19.90! How cool is that? It is among the best drugstore foundation i ever use.
Overall : 8.2/10
I think this would be a great foundation for beginners. If you want to start your own makeup collection or just getting started with makeup. This foundation is an essential.Its afforable and simple.
What product from Essence have you tried? What do you guys think?
Hugs and kisses
Sabrina

brand nie dari Germany tak silap. tak sabar nak try, murah. thanks for the review ;) Love your blog !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ifo! :D Aw..thanks for the compliment! go get you some! <3
DeleteIt's a Germany brand. From what i heard, it costs less to the customers for the company didn't practice bombastic ads like many cosmetics brands. I've tried the mousse one and didn't like it at all. Maybe will give this a shot. thanks sab for the review! owh banyaknya nak try! :pppp
ReplyDeleteow.... thanks for the info syg! at first i wanted to try the mousse type. but it feels chalky. so i give this one a try. hehe... jadi beauty junkie ni susah kan! semua nk try... :p tgk la wishlist i...asyik bertambah, bukan berkurang...hehe....
Deletelovely swatches and I like your sections of comments on the product. I guess the only downside is the lack of darker shades like most foundations. It looks good but I've got too many foundations for now! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethank you! yep! its really hard to find dark shades foundation in our local market right. they need to take note of that.
Deletepernah try foundation maybelline, the body shop & silkygirl. setakat ni ok je x la wow sangat. maklum la kalau jenis oily skin. t'ingin nak try cover girl foundation tapi sukar nak dapat. essence nampak macam bagus. next time nak try la. thanks for the review. ^___^
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good foundation, thanks for the review! ^^
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Kati! <3
Deletewow its really cheap even more cheaper than my BB cream. im gonna buy this if after i finish my BB. Oh before that, is it can okay for oily skin
ReplyDeletei cant guarantee that. but my face tends to get oily after a few hours. the texture of the foundation is quite creamy, so i think it may suit for oily skin. give it a try, and i would love to hear your feedback. :)
Deletewait until my bb finish first lah.
Delete:D
DeleteHi Sabrina, thanks for the review :) Do you also know if this is an oil-free foundation?
ReplyDeleteGr. Lisa from the Netherlands
Hello Lisa! I do a lil test for you. I put this foundation on to a oil paper. There is a little oild spreading on the paper. But still, if you want a oil free foundation, you can always try a powder foundation and use it with a damn sponge. :)
Deleteto me there's waaaay too little colours.. each one of them is too dark for me. :(

ReplyDeletesoft honey from what i can remember.. :)
DeleteHai...may i know how to get this foundation?...i nak tahu kat mana je ada product nie...i mmg guna product nie....n susah nak cari ....ada sesiapa blh bg info?
ReplyDeletexsalah sab mmg ada product ni dekat watsons. :)
DeleteLooks interesting but I prefer a tinted moisturisers for daily basis.
ReplyDeleteGood review though!
i wanted to try tinted moisturiser! you must love it
DeleteIm using this in soft beige shade. I really like it sbb the shade fits me well. Im not on the fair skin side either but the shade fits me better than any foundation ive tried before. Kulit saya takde apa sgt just a few parut jerawat and blackhead and slightly visible pores tp with this foundation I think it covers well on my face. I would rate it 9/10 :) 1 point lack because they need to add more darker shades. Good review sabrina!
ReplyDeleteThnaks for reading dear! Yep, I have to agree with you! Its affordable and works well.
