A primer designed for sensitive skin. It contains no fragrance, alcohol, silicones, parabens and mineral oil, while it does have the goodies glycerine, lactobacillus ferment, vitamin E and aloe vera. It's a medium thick, creamy moisturising primer that applies easily, doesn't feel greasy, most of it absorbs fast (on my dry skin) and is a nice base, but it's only hydrating/nourishing and that's it. There's no blurring and I also don't notice any prolonged staying power. It's just a simple face moisturiser called a primer, but a nice one, it might also be for all skin types, since it doesn't feel heavy on the skin, but for oily skin that Milky Face Moisturizer below will feel nicer.

This promises to blur the skin and a matte finish, it's also talc free. This is softer than your average powder, so you can grab a lot at once. When I applied a ton on my face because I wanted to see if it has any coverage (it is translucent, but there is a tiny bit. Only this shade exists), this never looked too much or cakey. So this is a powder you can really go to town with and not worry about over application or a fake powdery finish. Blurring is minimal, more a consequence of mattifying and reducing shine that can emphasize pores, but that's it and it doesn't make you skin look like a you used a filter. As far as mattifying goes, though my skin isn't oily, this didn't hold up that well. After 6 hours mat finish was gone, so I have serious doubts this will hold well on very oily skin, but it's hard for me to say, you'll have to find other reviewers. It's a nice powder for dry skin and for those who hate very flat, matte and obvious looking powders because it's one of the most natural powders I've tried, but staying power is not impressive.

There are two versions of these palettes, the other is a in a green packaging, but also with natural hues. There are 12 eyeshadows ranging from matte to glittery, more specifically 3 glitters, 3 mattes and the rest are shimmery/frosts. Like usual for Essence they vary in quality. Like we've seen in the Witch Side palette, they make fantastic creamy matte shades and their shimmery/frosts are also excellent, a little bit on the too dense, but still very pigmented and easy to pick up with a brush. You get a lot of colour payoff quickly, usually no more than two coats are needed and I don't use a primer. It's the glitters that are again problematic and I don't know why exactly they insist at using this formula in both Catrice and Essence palettes. It's too creamy and too hard, so very difficult to pick up with a brush and unless you want sparse glitter, it takes a while to get the intensity going to the eyelids. They aren't useless, but they could be a lot better. Overall though, it's nice palette, especially if you love neutrals and rosy shades, thought this one is mostly neutral and it has a nice range of depth of shades.
