Summer's Berzerk Shopping, Vol. 2 - Essence Haul and Mini Reviews

Hi again! I hope you're doing well! As the title says, this is volume 2 of my summer purchases. This time I'll show you the 6 shadow palettes that I got from Essence and I will very quickly review them for you. These are the 4 palettes that I found and bought.

As you can see they contain 6 eyeshadows (as mentioned before) and luckily none of the colors of one palette is repeated in another one. They cost - if I remember correctly - 4.50 euro which makes them very affordable. Let's see the quality of each palette and the pigmentation. 

all about CANDIES:

This palette contains 6 pastel colors, a sort of canary yellow, a white-ish pink, a pink-ish purple, a salmon, a baby blue and a minty green. 

This palette has the least pigmented colors and the hardest and weakest to swatch is the green.

all about NUDE:

This palette has cool toned earth colors and is probably the most "wearable" of the four.

It contains an icy white, a creamy pink/skin color, a light gray, a soft sort of champagne color, a medium brown and a dark brown-burgundy. 

This palette has a decent pigmentation and depending on your skin tone that nude pinkish color might not show up a lot on you.

all about PARADISE:

This one, not only contains the most intense and bright colors of the rest but also the most pigmented.

There is a frosty warm white-beige, a soft orange, a pinkish red, a golden yellow, a medium emerald green and a medium navy blue.

All of the colors swatch nicely and they are bright and easy to work with.

all about SUNRISE:

This palette, like the nude one, has earth-toned colors but on the warmer side. 

There is a frosty light beige, a sort brown-ish gold, a medium brown, a gold a champagne and a dark brown.

This palette is as well very pigmented and with quite wearable colors. 

Overall comparisons:

Pigmentation:    Paradise, Sunrise = Best                        

                            Nude = Good

                            Candies = Weak

Wearable:        Nude + Sunrise

Bright:             Paradise

Pastel/light:     Candies

Important  Note: ALL the colors of all 4 palettes that look shimmery on the swatches contain only an upper layer of shimmer. Like ALL OF THE ESSENCE SHIMMERY SHADOWS, after this layer is off the real shadow underneath is not shimmery anymore, so keep that in mind!
