And they have a delicious strawberry ice cream fragrance, too! Available in 01 i scream ice cream.



My opinion: Hmmm.. no way. This is way too pinky for me, the colours are too pastel and bright. Also the only product I am at the moment interested in is the cream blush, but I won't buy even that. Lately Essence is releasing trend editions I mostly don't like. Which is weird, because there is always something I like.. This edition also appears to me more appropriate for spring time, because of the colour choice... not so much summery as the rest of the trend editions they have released in the last couple of months. Otherwise I think the baked eyeshadows may prove a good product, but with Essence you never know. Sometimes their eyeshadows are a hit and sometimes a miss. The lip balms - I'm sceptical they are good care for the lips, I would go for more natural and more varified brand that has lip balms. Hand wipes are a nice touch, especially in hot summer, but you can get a similar product almost anywhere. The shimmer pearls also look like a good product, so I'll maybe try it when it comes to stores :)
 What about you? Do you like this trend edition?


Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly
