Essence Cosmetics: Metal Glam Eye Shadow #Review in Coffee to Glow (02) #ExpressyourEssence

IMAG0821


With Spring in full swing and experiencing close to 100 degree weather in California, the heat has definitely arrived. A new season means a new look and time to play with colors. Essence Cosmetics offers you to play with beauty products at a very economical price point. Affordable does not mean you should overlook this brand because it does deliver performance and I’m always for less “ouch” on the pocketbook and more glam added to my beauty box.


Pictures are untouched and I did not even put foundation on or any eye primers. I wanted to test the colors and products on their own, so I could attribute quality and performance 100% to the product I was trying. No fake lashes and just some brow gel and pencil because a girl must have tamed eyebrows :)

This is the lightest when it comes to pigmentation but I love the color. You see the silver and brown tones that graduate up as you apply more. I even played and applied wet to get a darker tone towards the eye that lightened as you went up to the crease area. I love this color and it's mostly because it's so soft and not loud like I expected. I thought it would be too silvery but thankfully I trusted that the name said coffee, so think of this color like a cappuccino!
