This collection is available through Priceline in January-February (Unsure of dates) 2016.
This collection consists of 2 Eyeshadow Palettes, 2 Ultra Slim Eye Pencils, 2 Sheer Lipbalms, A Multi-Coloured Blush, A Contour/Highlight Kit, 6 Nail Polishes and a Nail File.
I purchased a few of the products in the collection and heres my review on each of the products!
Starting off with the nail polish, I didn't realise until I got back home that the formula of this nail polish is a Matte formula. I highly dislike Matte Formula's as to me the chip faster and I don't like the overall finish. But as you can see in this photo, I gave it a go, but I topped it with a Gel Polish (Also by Essence) to see how long it would last. And honestly, I wasn't impressed. Probably within the first 12 hours it chipped, and it just peels off. I even wore a base coat. So I wasn't impressed by it. The only good thing about it is the shade, which is in 'Happy Girls Rock' which is a silver/purple/taupe shade. I can't describe it. But its different. The nail polishes cost $3.70 AU Which is pretty good.
For the Eyeshadow Palette, its a hit and miss situation with it. Some shades are better than others. This photo was done with heavy swatches, and as you can see they have a fair bit of fall out. I haven't fully 100% played around with it but from what I can tell with a good primer they will last a while. The price for this palette is a bit over priced in my opinion. It is $7.15 for 5 shades, which considering their 'All About...' Collection has 8 Shades and is only $8.20 I think it could have been around the $6.30 mark. This palette is in the name 'Happiness Is...Following Your Heart'.
The Eyeliner....I hated this. It breaks like no tomorrow. Its so thin that with the smallest amount of pressure it breaks. And there isn't much product inside. I used this all up in one go because it broke so easily. If it was thicker it would be okay but its just too thin! Again I feel these are over priced because you don't get too much product and it breaks easy. This cost me $4.10 but I think it could have been around $3.50. I got mine in the shade 'The Choco Side of Life'.
The sheer lipbalm has to be my favourite. Its moisturising (A Little) And it lasts for about an hour, maybe more. Depending on what you are doing. And as you can see by the swatch, for a 'sheer' product, its quite pigmented! And thats just one swatch too. This is in the shade 'Pretty You!'. The other shade didn't have much colour to it. The price for this product is pretty good too at $4.70.
Would I recommend this collection?
I'd say get the palette and definatley the lip balm. The lip balm is one of my favourite products right now.
Overall:
I think its a little overpriced, but its okay.
