Essense 3D duo eyeshadow in 04 irresistible caramel cream 09 irresistible chocolates, 03 irresistible first love, 02 irresistible purr-ple 06 irresistible mermaid kiss, & 07 irresistible smoky eye 

Product:

This is you budget friendly version of Estee Lauders Gelee eyeshadow formula and the MAC Extra Dimension eyeshadow. Sadly Essene doesn't have the exact same formula in terms of finish and wear. These are mostly high shine with a few frost/satin finish.






Colour:
02 irresistible purr-ple is a split pan pales silver/lavender with a red based medium purple. The silver/lavender shade is almost metallic

06 irresistible mermaid kiss is a split pan pale turquoise with a true turquoise stone shade. The shade are not that different in shade but the pale turquoise has a high shine.

03 irresistible first love is a split pan of pale baby pink shimmer and light silver. Both shades are shimmery

07 irresistible smoky eye is a split pan in a gunmetal shimmer grey with a deep charcoal black that is more satin in finish.

04 irresistible caramel cream is a split pan in a light shimmer beige and warm medium metallic brown.

09 irresistible chocolates is a split pan in a warm rose beige with a shimmer finish and a deep cool brown with a frost finish.


Wear: 5 Hour wear before noticeable fading one me on their own.

Packaging: Simple compact with a clear lid, I'm not sure why the type on some are Silver of black. The WOW are stickers. lol

Verdict:
These are great! the preform just as well as the high-end versions which are also made in Italy and preform better wet as well.
