The Makeup Post | Essence Trend Edition - Road Trip

Hey Beauties!

I love nothing more than a good bargain and when you present me with a makeup bargain, adding in my love of makeup, I get more than a little excited.

Makeup trends change quite a bit throughout the year so I can't really justify spending a tonne on makeup when I can be a little fickle with my product preferences.

Essence are a budget makeup brand that have long been a love of mine due to their good quality products, great pricing and regular releases.

It seems like Essence are always launching a new Trend Edition collection, this time it's titled Road Trip, so I thought you guys would like a sneak peek!

Essence are embracing that Summer spirit and are taking inspiration from the legendary Route 66 with this release.

I love that this collection features practical multi-use and duo products, making packing for Summer holidays easy and showing how true to Summer this collection is.

With a warm colour scheme consisting of yellow, pink, burgundy, beige, and blue, this collection ensures plenty of fun.

The first duo is the Eyeshadow + Eyeliner, with one side being a shimmering eyeshadow and the other a creamy eyeliner.

Coming in 2 different colour combinations, these duos are all you need to stand out from the crowd!

The next duo is the Blush + Highlighter, all you need to create a gorgeous, fresh complexion.

It's soft texture blends easily to give your complexion a rosy blush and beautiful shimmer.

Next up are the Mini Sheer Lipsticks, tiny sticks with a medium colour coverage that will colour your lips and make them feel wonderfully smooth with a velvet finish.

These are perfect for when you're on the go!

The next product is the All Round Balm, a multi-talent that will pamper lips, hands and nails as well as elbows and feet.

This little helper can be applied on any dry areas of skin, making it a festival essential this season!

For the nails, Essence know that colours and effects are an absolute must-have!

Four different shades are ready to launch in burgundy, blue, beige and pink with four different effects: leather, asphalt, gasoline and thermo.

For unique street styles!

Lastly, we have the styling set which offers everything you need on the road, a small blush/powder brush, an eyeshadow/eyeliner applicator and tweezers.

Coming in a practical zipper bag with mirror, you can touch up your look anywhere!
