| Essence Ticket to Paradise Collection: Shimmer Powder in 01 tropical heat & Long-Lasting eyeshadow in 01 dive with me to the island and 03 tropical heat. |
I've got two tickets to paradise!!! Our at latest that's the first thing that poped into my head when seeing the name of this collection. All the items here retail for $3.99 each at Shoppers Drug Mart. Essence had been doing close to seasonally collections or some special promotional ones (Twilight). I was particularly excited to see the shades in this one.

| Shimmer Powder in 01 tropical heat ingredients |
Product: Shimmer Powder is a fine miller shimmer particle highlighter. The texture is smooth to apply.
Colour: 01 tropical heat is a light gold shimmer that appears lighter on he skin.
Wear: 12 hours with no issue left it on it's own before noticing any sore of fading.
Packaging: Standard plastic compact with a clear lid
Compare: Reminds me of TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer (but slight more gold tone) and MAC Whisper of Guilty has a similar tone (but this one is slightly lighter).

Verdict:
Shimmer Powder in 01 tropical heat is a lovely drugstore price highlighter that reviles a lot of mid end highlighters (and some high end ones).

Product: These Long-Lasting eyeshadows do not live up to there name. The product is a moose/damp gel similar to the of a Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush, but there is littler to sheer pigmentation, the colour is not build able and when i tried to layer this i was lifting off the under layers.
The colour just do not bind which is a bonus of gel based products but I get the selling this is just a wet moose. It also very transfer prone and the shimmer to to fall out rather quickly.

| What comes off in one wipe... all of the product! |
Verdict: Major fail! Just ignore these, I've been a fan of their gel products in the past but this is reminiscent of MAC's Big Bounce eyehadows but only sheer. >_<
