My brows (and a face without make-up … eek!)
If you have met me, you are probably one of those strange people to compliment me on my eyebrows. Cheers for that, but it is a little strange. Although I do prefer that over you feeling me and complimenting me on my soft skin. And speaking of soft skin, seeing as though I spilled the beans on my skin secrets, I thought I should do the same for my eyebrows.

Each month the beauty industry globally releases hundreds of new products, shades and collections. It can be really hard to stay on top of all the new pretty products that come out, even if you are the savviest shopper around. Starting now, I am going to attempt to make the process a little easier for everyone by posting my favourite new releases each month.
Think of this new series as a monthly hit list of items to keep an eye out for. As we are in the middle of March, it means a change of season and we see all the awesome new collections hit shelves. The first month of a new season is always the most exciting so without further delay, let’s get into the hottest products to hit shelves this March.
Just one of the new collections from M.A.C Cosmetics, aptly titled Shop MAC

Today I am taking a look at Essence Cosmetics, a brand that practically rules the German cosmetic market and have recently landed on Australian shores.
My instant feelings upon seeing the display units and the products was that this brand is going to be making waves. Australia, I am so excited for us!
The must have in beauty: trends, fun, unique – but never expensive! With a striking range of quality cosmetics, essence is the ultimate brand for all beauty queens.
Essence is a range of on-trend quality colour cosmetics, that’s as unique, creative and surprising as you are.
All products are made in Europe and offer excellent coverage, vibrant pigments, and super smooth textures that are easy to apply and blend beautifully.
The brand is number one in Germany, and represents a quarter of all cosmetics sales in that country. Think about that for a moment. A population of about 81 million people, over half of those being female. That is huge.
The big draw card for me with this brand has to be that it isn’t tested on animals. For a company to have such low price points (seriously, wait till you see them below) it is refreshing to see that they have a strong stance against animal cruelty.
In the USA Essence is stocked at Ulta and many other stores. In Australia, the brand will be exclusive to Target.
My knowledge of Essence Cosmetics was pretty limited. I had seen lots of their nail lacquers appear on beauty blogs, but I never knew how big and diverse their range was. Now that it has arrived in Australia, I am gobsmacked. The most shocking thing of all, the price points. Just look at the prices of these things!
The brand currently has 8 varieties in mascara. EIGHT!
Multi Action False Lashes Mascara – AU $4.95
I Love Extreme Volume Mascara – AU $5.50
2 in 1 Volume Mascara – AU $6.50Read the rest of this post
