The Canadian Beauty Blogger brand of the month is essence! The brand has been kind enough to sponsor a giveaway for several of the CBB blogs and I was one of the lucky ones chosen to be a part of this fantastic giveaway. Having never tried any essence products before, I was excited to play around with some of their products and find out what I thought about the brand.

First up is my own Face of the Day using products from essence‘s Fall line. See below for giveaways details and how to enter.

Having never been one for subtle makeup, I knew when I saw the All About Paradise eyeshadow palette that I had to do something fun with it.

And have fun I did! I managed to use all of the colours in the incredibly vibrant six-pan palette. The end result is exactly what I wanted – something moderately tropical, semi tie-dyed and just all around fun!

So here’s how I did it:

Eyes

I first layed down a solid white base using NYX‘s Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk to ensure that the colourful shades would pack a punch. I then used essence‘s All About Paradise eyeshadow palette:

1. Yellow all over the inner corner and around the tearduct.
2. The pale green on the middle of the lid.
3. Blue in the outer corner and the outer half of the lower lash line.
4. Pink through the crease.
5. Champagne to highlight the brow.
6. Peach on the inner half of the lower lid.

I then used Tarte‘s black gel liner to create the wing and then tightlined and lined my lower water line with essence‘s Black gel eye pencil. On my lashes is essence‘s get BIG! lashes mascara.

Rest of the Face

• Foundation: Boots No7 Instance Radiance foundation in Cool Vanilla
• Eyebrows: Anastasia‘s Dipbrow Pomade in Blonde
• Bronzer: NYC‘s Fire Island Tan
• Blush: essence Silky Touch Blush in Autumn Peach
• Highlighter: Champagne shade from essence‘s All About Paradise palette
• Concealer: essence Match 2 Cover! cream concealer
• Lips: essence‘s Wear Berries!
