What do you think? Anything you would be interested in buying? As for myself I really don't like this design and colours. As for lip products, I like the lip scrub and red lip tint, will be definitely on my list to try them out, but the rest is just ehhh... Too much pink, the whole packaging looks rather too cheap even for Essence. The perfume might be also interesting but I have a feeling it's going to be a very sweet scent, which I won't like. Plus their perfumes have a tendency  to loose their scent very easily. The nail art polishes don't appeal to me at all. The chosen colours are too girly for me, plus  the nail stickers are just.. blaahh.. I bet a lot of teenagers will see this one as a very cute one, which it really is, if you are in this kind of colours :)

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend :)
