I've been wondering how their new products are, I swear by your reviews. I appreciate all the hard work and dedication you put into your videos and reviews. Thank you so much! Love to you and your family. 🥰

[@AndreaMatillano]

That honestly means so much to me! Thank you for your kind words! 🥰💗

[@mochi_mochi-zd9mi]

@AndreaMatillano please review the Moira Duochrome eyeliners. Perhaps even a video like this with all Moira products would be something others would enjoy as well. They seem to have a lot of good quality products and are affordable. I'm a new subscriber and I really like the way you review products. Thank you! 😊

[@carriekennedy5903]

Thank you for disclosing your commission on the products talked about. Too many creators aren’t doing it and it is definitely nice to know you are. ❤

[@bulbul276]

Andrea I watch you regularly from Baghdad and I LOVE your videos. Essence makeup is very popular in Iraq and the new Call Me Queen mascara is a game changer for me. I LOVE your videos🥰

[@AndreaMatillano]

That honestly means so much! Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos! I’m so glad to hear that you love that mascara. 🥰

[@elisa-beary]

If anyone puts liner in their waterline the essence stay & play gel liners are INCREDIBLE! I wear the nude every time I do makeup, last super well in my extremely watery eyes & is brightening. They also have black, brown & some gorgeous jewel tones.💕

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh yes! I totally forgot about those and now I’m wondering if I misplaced them when I was pulling them out to film for a video because I haven’t used them in a long time! Thank you for sharing- I need to find mine now. 🙌

[@daniellecombs]

I LOVE the formula of those liners, but I always struggle sharpening them 😢

[@WendsSc]

I love that you did this essence video. It is so helpful. I sometimes feel like I have piles of useless drugstore makeup just because I didn’t know what I was buying or how to use it lol.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh I understand! I definitely have products like that my collection too. 😂💗 I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@bombshell.13]

I had to go take a peek at the new Essence products you had in your video. I don't buy much makeup anymore because I have so much, but when I do it's either Essence or ColourPop lip stuff. I love your reviews and trust your thoughts on them. While I was looking through the new arrivals on the Ulta site, I noticed there were a bunch of new, LA Girl stuff. No one ever reviews this brand except you, but it's been awhile. Can you please do a whole face of new LA Girl. Their palettes looked pretty, I know they can be hit or miss, but I've loved mine and have even given them as gifts to family members who like makeup, but rarely buy it and don't know about these types of drugstore brands.

[@chiaravc6228]

I like how you always try to explain the formula and use of products, makes it so much easier to choose based on our own preferences!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! That means so much!

[@tanyad7073]

Whoo hoo! Andréa always comes through on the amazing drugstore vids!! ❤❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

You’re so kind! 🥰 Thank you SO much for watching!

[@jemsopp7125]

I’m so happy to see this review. I swear we have the same taste in makeup. Essence is one of the first drugstore brands I turn to when I’m needing new makeup. They very rarely let me down. Thank you for more great reviews! 🫶🏼

[@AndreaMatillano]

Oh my gosh yes! They really make so many of my staples. I’m so glad to hear you love them too! 🥰

[@rachelkramer156]

QUEEN of the back-and-forth-windshield-wiper-motions 😊

[@jessicawhite3893]

Your hard work s much appreciated. You're very thorough and describe the products very well. I'm loving the other mascara by essence you held up in brown❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

That means so much, thank you! 🥰 That is definitely one of the best brown mascaras I’ve tried!

[@lynettewalsh4918]

Love the look. Like Essence products especially the stay & play gel eye liners (my go to) and the mascaras (cause after about 3 months you need to get another one and they're inexpensive). A good way to try new products without spending a lot. I love subtle blushes so will have to try those new ones. Love your drugstore review videos. Keep them coming.

[@onewhisper22005]

Essence did already have one like that jelly primer - it was the Fix & Last Jelly Gripping Primer. It was a pink color but didn’t have a scent at all. But you described it exactly with lightweight, not too sticky but enough tackiness. I love it! So I’ll have to try the new green one!

[@AmayaRodrigo]

Hello from Spain! Love your reviews, so thorough! ♥

[@monicapatton1405]

Such a beautiful look. I love how pretty and subtle you stay with your makeup. It looks perfect ❤

[@hollysullivan1349]

You should try the Juicy Pang K-Beauty liquid blush! It is the perfect light/medium blush with a very light formula!

[@natalierussoniello6250]

The liquid blush looks beautiful! I have to try it. I think it looks much more natural and I love the light pigmentation. The ELF camo blush is nice, but it is one that is SO pigmented and dries very fast. I like how easy the Essence blushes were to blend. Thank you!

[@champagenroses]

I've purchased many products from the Essence brand - the quality of these cosmetics are amazing :) The first mascara I tried from this brand was the Lash Princess Sculpted Volume it has a curved wand. I purchased this mascara for years until I decided to try something different. I recently tried the Call Me Queen mascara - the wand is different than what I'm used to ... this mascara is abit wet but it does dry quickly - no issues with any clumps or flakes. I like this mascara so far 😊 The Volume Boost Lash primer is another favorite too. Thank you Andrea for sharing the new gems from Essence. Take care everyone 🌹

[@AndreaMatillano]

Oh I love that mascara so much! I haven’t tried that specific one in a little while because I’ve been using the lash princess false lash effect but now I want to repurchase the sculpted volume one. I’m excited to use the new mascara a little bit more now, but I know it’s better to let it dry a little bit in between coats! I like the fact that there are no clumps too. 🙌 Thank you so much for sharing your opinions! I appreciate you!

[@simplyellenxo95]

Always nice to rely on your reviews💕

[@louisesharpy]

Thank you for reviewing this. I actually love their blush and mascara. I haven’t tried the rest

[@clcarrer3038]

Loved this! ❤❤ J Cat has some multichrome eyelines, Chromatic Shock, that I find fantastic. Really multichromatic with a beautiful shift and apply easily. ❤

[@kailyncorey8267]

I have an essence highlighter pallete that I LOVE but I know is from a a few years ago so I love seeing you try out these new products!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ooo I think I know what you're talking about and I love that palette! I still have the bronzer palette from around the same time!

[@ElizabethRas]

The Blush Crush powder blushes are amazing - we got them a while ago in Europe. I have all colours and most are matte and a few of them have a glow. The combo of the one you used + the one called something with rose is an amazing combo.

[@sydeezy17]

I love their Good Stuff Watermelon Serum Primer. Good dupe for the Glow Recipe ❤

[@valeriekingsbury3394]

Same! I’ve bought that one multiple times!

[@idalarsson4729]

Thanks for sharing all these products! You look summery and absolutely stunning! 💕

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! That’s so nice of you! 🥰

[@stacyzaimi8535]

I have the blush in the lilac color and it is perfect for my light skin with cool undertones. I also love the slim lipstick in brickroad and baby got blush. Shape is perfect for smaller lips and wore beautifully until lunch.

[@EnvyBlu]

I LOVE that lip combo you started with! That Choco-holic shade was so pretty! I have to get it now

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh thank you! Honestly I feel like that will be a fall/winter staple for me. The formula feels so nice too!

[@Korrina-g3w]

Ooh, that blush crush is gorgeous!!!!

[@AndreaMatillano]

I’m honestly so impressed by the formula! I definitely want to try more shades. 😍

[@dianawalter1446]

So excited for this have been eyeballing the new products, was thinking of placing an order. Love your channel. Thank you for this video. Take care and stay safe. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

You will have to let me know if you grab anything! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@JMW969]

Hello Andrea...if you haven't yet,, you should try the Moira Supernova Multichrome Gel Liner. They are beautiful! My favorite is the 009 Buzz color. 😊

[@lisainfantes6583]

Hi Andrea. I have the Colourpop Multichrome BFF Crème Gel Liner in Wild Idea (green) and I really love it. Not a liner, but I have the Catrice Space Glam Chrome Eyeshadow in Galaxy Lights (also green) , and it is a winner for me. The other colours for both look really pretty, but I haven't tried them yet.

[@rachelkramer156]

Love your GRWMs!! 🥰

[@ElizabethRas]

Honestly, the chrome liners from Sheglam are really great. I know some people find them controversial, but they just have a lot of great makeup.

[@michelle1879]

Great video. Those essence blushes look awesome. New releases take months before we get them in Australia 🇦🇺. I'm still waiting for nyx butter blushes and elf soft glam to arrive

[@AndreaMatillano]

I hope you’ll be able to get your hands on them soon! I’m really impressed by the essence blushes. 😍

[@kimberlylovellette5117]

Love Lash without limits mascara. Have to use their waterproof on top and a tubing mascara on the bottom (due to the blazing 🥵). Thank you so much for your reviews.

[@Sharischreiber451]

MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME GLOSS IS THE ESSENCE EXTREME SHINE AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM IT SAYS VOLUME. IT'S FABULOUS AND ABSOLUTLY GORGEOUS ON THE LIPS. IT LASTS PRETTY LONG IF YOU'RE NOT EATING. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

[@chericoffman6321]

I just got the Chilly Vanilly shadow palette and I like it. Nice little everyday palette.

[@AndreaMatillano]

The shadows in that palette are really pretty! I don’t know why I didn’t grab anything from that collection but it looks like there are some really pretty products!

[@RiseandSHINEdailyinspiration]

Love essence so thank you for this. 😊

[@michellebarak3873]

Moira and Colourpop have wonderful multi home liners!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for letting me know! I am definitely going to check them out!

[@ginnycm2611]

Hi Andrea! Long time warching your videos 😊 I would like to see a video on great products that have been discontinued like the Essence Pretty Natural foundation 😮

[@AndreaMatillano]

I would love to film that video! I almost used that foundation in this video. The formula really is so nice!

[@topkat8268]

What good would seeing products you can no longer purchase?

[@valeriekingsbury3394]

That was such a good foundation 😢

[@shanak1975]

Hiiiii!! I love the final look!! Seems like a solid bunch of products! I love essence. My one local CVS that carries essence is always so picked over. Guess I'll have to venture into Ulta... What a shame. 😂💕

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much! 🥰 I used to have a CVS that carried essence but I can’t find their products there any longer. 😭 it looks like these new products are actually in stores at Ulta! I think I might need to take a trip there to see what else has arrived. 😂

[@shanak1975]

@@AndreaMatillano I always try to avoid going in store to Ulta because it's like my version of Disney world... I always lose control. Lol

[@AndreaMatillano]

Literally so accurate. 😂

[@laurielaliberte5873]

If you are looking for a great, vibrant duochrome eyeliner, check out the Colourpop BFF liner. I have it in five colors, and I love them all. BTW, I bought the Essence Pure Nude naked blush on your recommendation, and I'm in love! Thank you for your honest reviews. ❤❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

I don’t know why, but I didn’t realize they had duochrome eyeliners! Thank you so much for letting me know! 😍 I am so glad to hear that you are a fan of the blushes. 🙌 Thank you so much for watching my videos!

[@verysabi]

I recently tried the blush in the same shade and I feel like its very similar to hope from rare beauty but the formula it's just like a random blush i bought from shein years ago before it was like sheglam and i loved it so much but it wss discontinued and then i tried many liquid and cream blushes but nothing like it and this one is exactly like that and I love it

[@threadsketch7267]

Kaleidos makes incredible multichrome eyeliners, and through today (July 18th) they've got a 15% sale going on! So right now their liners are $13.60. They're all gorgeous, but if you're specifically looking for something blue/purple I suggest the shade Night of Creation.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you! I’m heading over to their website right now! 🙌

[@LeahCary78]

I have my notebook out and ready I love essence ❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

🙌 essence seriously makes some of my all time faves!

[@rachelkramer156]

Makeup is FLAWLESS

[@clairekiefer]

I was at Ulta in person last week and they did have the blush crushes--I bought the one in strawberry flush--it's SO PRETTY!--but it literally crumbled in the bag as I was walking to my car, I guess. LOL. I was able to just smush the product back into the pan (didn't even have to use alcohol) and it works just fine (and is beautiful!) but I wish they'd worked on the texture a little more so that they didn't break so easily. I'd order all the other shades if I weren't sure they'd arrive crushed!

[@jessicawhite3893]

Also, I love your necklace! ❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you! 💗

[@donatella4536]

I am truly not a fan of blush. I like it on other people, not on myself. But these essence liquid blushes are truly gorgeous. I don't wear foundation, but it still looks so pretty on the skin. I got the very pinky shade and it looks so good on the skin. I might buy the dusty rose one also 👀. But I must set it with some powder or else it will fade in a few hours. Honestly, the eyeliner on the waterline looks gorgeous on you, it gives the most subtle purple effect. It makes your eyes pop! I might have to check out these lipsticks 🤔. They look like a very good "on the go" product.

[@janetparson4995]

Andrea have you tried the new liquid blush from ColourPop? If you have do you think it's safe for acne prone skin? I can't remember if you have Persona cream blushes what do you think about those? Would those be better for acne prone skin? Sorry I'm asking so many questions. I just hate my skin breaking out.

[@AndreaMatillano]

I actually have it set aside to try in a video that I’m going to film tomorrow! I will definitely keep you posted about it! Is your skin oily or dry? I personally don’t have any issues with the persona blushes breaking my skin out and it does tend to be acne prone!

[@janetparson4995]

@@AndreaMatillano my skin is combination I think. I know it's more oily in summer time. Yay I can't wait to see that video. By the way you are one of my favorite KZbinrs. I take your recommendations and try things because of you. Thank you for what you do.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That seriously means so much to me. 🥹💗 Thank you! I’ll definitely keep you posted on the ColourPop blushes!

[@TMCEH]

I’ve never found an essence mascara that didn’t flake or smudge. I don’t understand the hype. I do love the dramatic look of the 18hr stylist if I’m just going out to dinner and coming back home but would never trust it for a full day.

[@sero0716]

I agree, they always smudged on me.

[@staceyrybka5496]

Ok that concealer reminds me of the nyx bare with me which is my favorite

[@AndreaMatillano]

I love that one too! I recently rediscovered it, and I can’t stop using it. 😍

[@shandel499]

Does anyone remember, oh about 4+ yrs now the Essence lip gloss from a mermaid? collection? They had multi-chrome lips before anyone else I swear. There was 2 glosses. 1 was orange with a pink shimmer flip and the other one was a purple base with a greeny-flip shimmer. I loved them

[@erinj1526]

Andréa, would the Catrice True Skin foundation work well on someone with normal skin but fine lines (45+)? It’s on sale, and I have it in my cart (because of your many raves).

[@AndreaMatillano]

Yes! I honestly honestly think you would love it. I would recommend priming with a good hydrating or even smoothing primer and then going in with a light layer and really blending into the skin. I think that will give you the best results based on your skin type! 💗

[@erinj1526]

@@AndreaMatillanoOrdered. I’ll let you know!

[@melindarodriguez2807]

Hi there, if you have dry skin, moisturize your skin super well. I’m 50 and I ❤love❤ that foundation, I do have dry skin so I do some good moisturizing prep and it stays on all day. Hope this helps. 😊

[@jennthern5330]

I love the Essence Lash Princess mascaras but they don't love me :( I have tried a couple of different ones and for some reason they flake on me, which makes me sad because I love how they look on my lashes. I wish that eyeliner was more pigmented because those colors are so pretty! I bought the orange duochrome eyeliner from Colourpop and I can definitely recommend those!

[@AndreaMatillano]

I hear that a lot! I feel like they are so hit and miss for a lot of people, but the people who don’t like them really say they end up flaking and smudging on them. 😭 Ahhh I know I’m so sad about the eyeliner. I don’t know why, but I didn’t realize that ColourPop had duochrome liners! 😱 I will be definitely be checking them out.

[@denise8791]

Oh my gosh they are the flakiest flakers on me!! My teen daughter loves them though. Not sure ifbtheyvjust don't flake on her or if she just doesn't realize? I also hate mascara in general because I swear the all flake on me. But essence flakes the worst. Lol

My Ulta has the blush crush blushes in stock today. I went in to get the thick and wow and saw them. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try yet. Didn’t get any.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Oh good to know! Thank you for letting me know! I’m going to have to check out the shades in person!

[@GeminiGlitters]

I love that essence 16 hr powder foundation. I don’t find it look super heavy on the face .

[@tanjas5375]

It contains no nasties, this is great.

[@romy8891]

Essence is a german brand so it makes sense that it's cheaper in Germany. But the US prices for Essence are crazy hight. I am used to pay less than half of what you mmentioned. And german prices always include tax already.

[@virginiaandrade8009]

So sad you didn't try on Over the Nude lipstick color 🙁 I feel like that would've gone better with your look.

@@AndreaMatillano looked beautiful on my skin but the smell was off putting. Has that cheap foundation smell

[@AndreaMatillano]

Oh yeah I agree. 😭 The scent really is so strange!

[@itsdonuttime7729]

I think essence and catrice need to be cracked down on for the lack of shade options for POC. Their main foundation and concealer has orangey shades in the medium+ range. Their bronzer and blush is basically only for a light medium skintone and barely scratches a medium. They are a cheaper brand so people give them passes but it's not fair, why should POC not have to products for low prices. It's a another piece of the systemic inequality pie where POC are sidelined in any way that's convenient to others. I believe both sister brands are from Germany in what world are they representing the diversity in Germany let alone the U.S or the rest of the world that they are clearly trying to sell to.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Their foundation/concealer launch last year was an absolute mess and definitely unacceptable. It was good to see they did end up expanding after consumer feedback but that should have definitely been the shade range from the launch. Hopefully that will be the case for future complexion launches. I agree that inclusivity goes beyond complexion launches though which is something a lot of brands and consumers tend to gloss over. Thank you for the reminder!
