Essence and Catrice makeup recommendations?

[Britpopbaby]

I have seen both brands are now available in Primark.

I use a lot of their products as they are sold at a lot of places where I live.

I only use Essence mascara, but if you use brown they are quite limited. They have so many good options in black.

I only ever use the wind up eyeliner for tight lining, it is absolutely the best for this. No smudging and it stays put.

I have a Catrice eyeshadow palette that is so good, the colours are well pigmented.

I also have a mulit use primer / highlighter, I will need to check but think it's an 8 in 1.

The new Essence foundation stick has just got viral I see, it's got so many reviews on TT.

I have lot of other items, primer, pencils, lip balms, nail serum, face wash, concealer, face powder you name it 😂

The only downside is that they discontinue items quite fast. So something you love, might only be available for a season, and then it's replaced with something else. So if you find something you love, stock up on them.

Catrice is like the big sister company to Essence, so linked brands.

My dd bought the essence primer and I tried it and really liked it so have ditched my much more expensive one for this instead.

I like the Catrice Glossin Glow tinted lip oil - the colour lasts much longer than other lipsticks.

TBH it's the only stuff I use now that I'm older and don't use all the gizmos anymore!

I am a huge fan of the Catrice HD Matte powder foundation. Great coverage and doesn't sink into the lines on my face. I also use their powder blush, lipstick, and nail polish.

I don't use eye stuff anymore, that's au naturel for me now.

When I think of the cost of some of the powder based foundations out there that I spent £££s on over the years, I can now get a brilliant one that works for me (but maybe not for everyone!) for a fiver.
