Essence Beach Cruisers Collection: Swatches & Review

Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in 01 sun, fun & copper! and 02 keep calm and go to the beach!. Blush in 01 i ♥ summer break Blush. And Bronzing powder in 01 life is a beach
The items retail for $4.99CAN for the Blush and Bronzer, $3.99CAN for the liquid eyeliners. The collection did not come the lip gloss, Wet to Dry shadows, one of the Nail polishes (04 life is a beach), or the Body spray in the Canadian displays those compared to the US. I wanted those shadows. *_*

I picked a few of the items that really caught my eye but I might go back and pick up the polishes. They look pretty but sand texture polishes have been hit or miss lately with other brands.

01 sun, fun & copper! and 02 keep calm and go to the beach!
01 sun, fun & copper! and 02 keep calm and go to the beach!
Daylight and Flash swatches: 01 sun, fun & copper! and
02 keep calm and go to the beach! One stroke and blocked out.
Product: These Waterproof Liquid Eyeliners ware really good. These do last with water exposure but if you rub them they will fake off when wet.

The pigmentation was spot on with the 01 sun, fun & copper shade being make with finner glitter which was smooth to apply.

The 02 keep calm and go to the beach! shade have larger shimmer particles and was a touch trickier to work with for that reason to get a thin line but not that bad. It also does stain the skin slightly so remember to use a waterproof makeup remover as well when removing it.

Colour:
01 sun, fun & copper is a deep almost bronze with fine shimmer
02 keep calm and go to the beach! is a vibrant green based turquoise with large Aqua shimmer

Wear: 16 hours.

Packaging: Standard ink well packaging wit a thin brush.

Verdict: 
01 sun, fun & copper and 02 keep calm and go to the beach! are great and such a steal at $3.99 for eyeliners.

Daylight swatches: i ♥ summer break, heavy and buffed out.
Daylight and Flash swatches: i ♥ summer break heavy and buffed out.
Product: 01 i ♥ summer break is a very nice blush for both pigmentation and texture. The gradient is also very nice as you can pull two tones from either side of the pan. The texture is smooth to apply and the texture is a Satin as well.

This powder smells like coconuts!

Colour: Blush in 01 i ♥ summer break is a bright warm pink (watermelon almost) that transitions to a peach pink. 

Wear: 12 hours with no issue left on it's own before noticing any sort of fading.

Packaging: Standard plastic compact with a clear lid.

Compare: MAC's ombre blush in Ripe Peach I use to own but I found this i ♥ summer break was WAY more pigmented which is a plus in my book.

Verdict: 
If you can find it grab i ♥ summer break! It have curved my craving for a ombre blush that packs a punch colour wise. I hope that make more of these in the future.

Daylight swatches: 01 life is a beach. Centre part outside part, and blended, heavy and buffed out.
Flash swatches: 01 life is a beach. Centre part outside part, and blended, heavy and buffed out.
Product: This bronzer powder in 01 life is a beach is not your typical orange based bronzer but a yellow one. The texture is silky to apply and the two shade blend together to create a dewy finish to the skin. 

This powder also smells like coconuts!

Colour:  01 life is a beach is a warm sand centre with shimmer with a warm camel satin finish outer ring.

Wear: 8 hours with no issue before starting to fade.

Packaging: Standard plastic compact with a clear lid.

Verdict: 
I feel like if you like the tone 01 life is a beach is a great fine in the drugstore price and for those that missed MAC Pro Longwear Bronzer in Nude on Board like me or looking for a dupe.

  1. I haven't seen this collection yet. I really like that aqua liner. Look how beautiful that is with the sparkles and then just the color alone is gorgeous. Essence has some really decent products at bargain prices.

    1. Yeah it seems that the collection has been out for a few weeks now in the US, but my Shopper's just got these in last week here in Canada.
