I love Spring & Summer. Longer days, the warm sun on your skin, driving with the windows down, music blaring, and of course, the new makeup releases/collections.
One brand that I'm always excited about is essensce. Whether they're coming out with an entirely new product in their line or adding additional colours, they always deliver. And you can't beat the price. Only recently has their max price gone from $4.99 to $9.99, but it's for box set items.
Today I plan on telling & showing you the new items, and I'll be going over a few standouts over the next lil' bit.
I attended the essence 2016 Spring/Summer preview party at Maman in Toronto with fellow bloggers and had a lovely time. essence always has great preview parties and excellent food.
Without further ado, here are the new items you can keep your eyes open for and some pictures from the event.
