Catrice and Essence Makeup from Marilou
I recently got the most exciting package in the mail from the lovely Marilou, a fellow blogger and YouTuber. Her blog is My Precious Nail Polish and her YouTube is named the same. Last month I helped her with her blog’s design. As a thank you, Marilou decided to send me a surprise gift. I was blown away by her kindness! The fact that she decided to send me anything at all was amazing, but to top it off she picked some lovely items! The package included products from the European brands Catrice and Essence. I had always wanted to try their products but they are nearly impossible to get where I live. Thank you so much, Marilou! The lip products are so creamy and the brush was just what I was looking for. You’re such a sweetheart! Please have a look at Marilou’s blog and YouTube channel, she’s gorgeous!

It's soo funny to see lovely posts about products I see every day in drugstores and they don't excite me so much. Yet I'm in the same position for UK and US brands ahaha ๐
She really picked out the best – I have almost all of them and I'm quite picky when it comes to local brands.
Coco
20th Apr 2013 - 9:53 pmHaha it's always funny in perspective because I don't get excited about US drugstore products but see that others do. It makes me go back and check them out xx

19th Apr 2013 - 4:40 pmCatrice Made To Stay Cream Eyeshadow in Mauvie Star – this I had and used as my everyday go-to product. It's amaazing, although so shimmery. But can also be used lightly. It was stolen from me by my mum once showed.
I also have several nail polishes by Catrice & Essence. They're very nice budget shades. Have fun)))

19th Apr 2013 - 7:16 pmI've been wanting to try the Essence Stay Matte for such a long time! Essence products a bit hard to find in the US. At Ulta they only carry certain items. I do have the regular lipglosses though, and I love them.
Can't wait to see reviews on these items ๐
Coco
20th Apr 2013 - 9:57 pmI did see some Essence products at Ulta.com recently but I've become wary of ordering from Ulta because they have slow and pricey shipping to PR so I just order from Sephora instead (although they have different products)

19th Apr 2013 - 7:40 pmIts very funny to read the other side. We always want something from american brands. I dont know that Essence and Catrice are so famous….:)I dont like Catrice-products (but the mauvie star is my perfect base for smokey eyes)
Essence is one of my Favs….since I was 14 I used products from Essence.
You should try the new Essence 3D Eyeshadows….they're amazing!:)
Lovely Greetings

Coco
20th Apr 2013 - 9:58 pmHaha they are popular in the beauty world for being good and affordable ๐
I hope I can try the 3Ds
