essence Lights of Orient Review and Swatches

There is a new essence Trend Edition, and it is pretty! So, keep reading for the essence Lights of Orient Review and Swatches. I will keep the review short, and sweet so that you can get down to the shops before it is sold out!

I only bought three products from the collection, as I do not need any more nail polishes or highlighters. Also, the highlighter did look a bit too glittery for my liking.

There are two bronzers in the collection, and I bought the darker shade called Oriental Beauty (R63.50). It is a matte bronzer, with a golden shimmering center. And, it is the only bronzer I have been using since I bought it. It adds a warm glow to the face without being too harsh, too orange or too shimmery. Plus, how pretty does it look!

I also bought two of the three Matt Lipsticks (R47.95). Princess Jasmines Choice is a deep purple berry shade and The Sultan’s Daughter is a warm dusty rose shade. They are not fully matte, but they are comfortable, long-lasting and highly pigmented.

    The matt bronzer looks interesting..wonder if it would replace my Hoola bronzer 🤔
    The packaging of this collection is really pretty, specially the eyeshadow palette but they are just too shimmery, though fairly pigmented.

      I think it would be a bit of a mission to avoid the shimmer centre though. I think it is a bit warmer than Hoola.

      Thanks Reonette! I think they are stunning! And the bronzer is not orange, so you might prefer it to your Catrice one.
