First Impressions - ESSENCE Lights Of Orient LE

Hello! I have a couple of first impressions for you today! I got my hands on a couple of Essence Lights Of Orient LE products! I bought Lights of Orient bronzer in shade 01 Sunkissed Beauty and matt lipstick in shade 02 Princess Jasmines Choice. Along with it Natalija from Dominur team added these lovely  body & cuticle tatoos in 01 Magic Carpet Ride.

The limited edition has already been spotted in our drugstores  (Slovenia) such as Muller, I was checking DM stores as well, but haven't seen this one yet. I like the design of these products very much, the oriental vibe and the colour selection is amazing and it immediately became one of my most wanted products, top on the wishlist! 

Lights Of Orient - Body & Cuticle  tattoos  01 Magic Carpet Ride

Along with my purchase came these lovely body and cuticle tattoos! I actually got kinda hooked on these last summer when they got really popular, and I still have a couple of those as well. I must say these look even better than the ones I wore last summer as they have a bit of a light blue added in the mix.  They can be used on your cuticles as well, especially the smaller ones, but the lasting power depends what you do with your hands all day. If you wash a lot of dishes and such these won't last long. On my arms, back and legs these lasted very well! Application is easy and the same really as with all similar products, you cut the design out and aplly it on your cleansed skin, press damp cloth on top of it, hold for at least half a minute and then remove the paper and it's done. If you guys have any tricks how to keep these longer especially on your hands and fingers, let me know!

Lights Of Orient - bronzer in 01 Sunkissed Beauty

I am not a huge fan of bronzer and I don't use them regulary, but when I do, I prever lighter shades, if possible without any added shimmer and of course, without the orange undertone. I might just have found the perfect one yet! The shade is very light and can be easily built up if needed. It suits me at the moment as I don't have a tan, but it could work as well with a tiny bit of tan in the summer. It's a bit dusty, but it's really just a bit, so the use is still easy. It's nicely pigmented and easy to use, I just need one good swipe of this and then blend it out and I'm done. The highlighter in the middle has a tiny bit of a shimmer, just as much to give you a silky smooth finish. I love this one as it's great for my already oily and shiny skin. The lasting power is good as well, also depends on your skin type and other makeup you already used under it, but on me it lasts well for about 6 hours, before I notice it fading along with my foundation. The design of the product is amazing, however I wish they also made the packaging a bit more luxurious, but oh well, then the price wouldn't be the same anymore. You get  8g for about 2,94 euros.

Lights of Orient LE - Matt lipstick in 01 Princess Jasmines Choice

There are three lipsticks available in total, but I decided to go with the most interesting shade called Princess Jasmines Choice. The other two shades are a more classic brown-red-ish shade and a more pinky-nude shade. This one however felt a bit unusual for a spring/summer limited edtition, however the shade is amazing! It's a mix of mauve and purple, I can also notice some hints of browny-red colour. The formula is very smooth, but not creamy, so I feel like I need a good prep before application. The finish is matte, but I would say this on me looks more like semi - matte, possibly because I use a lot of lip balm under it. Otherwise the formula shows all my dry patches and the lipstick doesn't look flattering at all. It survives drinking but not eating and leavse a nice stain even when it wears off. The packaging is super slim in black and golden writting on top. It can be applied as a lip stain or as a fully covering shade, but it needs two to three layers to achieve a nice and even application. You get 1,9 g for 2,29 euros.

Hope this post was helpful to you! If you got yourself anything from this collection and you have a recommendation let me know, I would love to read about it! I hope to get my hands on the blush as well and maybe another lipstick or glittery body spray!

Thanks for reading!
