Essence Cosmetics have got to be one of the most affordable brands available at the moment that produce high-quality beauty products. I have been a fan of Essence since I first tried one of their blushes and mascaras and always love seeing what new things they bring out. Each season they release new, on-trend products and everything in their range is less than NZD $10 each! Here are some of their latest releases for Spring/Summer.

With Summer well on its way, it is finally time to bring out those brighter lipsticks and lighter foundations and change up the routine from Winter. I generally stick to similar products throughout the year, but I always like going for a lighter base (I generally end up sweating it off anyway) and cast aside the dark berry lipsticks for something more on the nude side. My blushes get pinker and of course, I whip out a lot of highlighters! Collection has some great products that are not only affordable but will boost your makeup collection to get you set for the warmer months ahead.
