ATTENTION Essence fans! A full, permanent wall display of Essence cosmetics has been spotted at WALGREENS! Huge thanks to reader T. of the blog LacqLustre for this sighting--you can check out her pics HERE!
I spy polishes, face products, shadows, lip colors and even the new I Heart Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara (which I'm in the middle of testing for review!) in this display. And as T. mentioned, this display has more products than many Ulta stores carry!
If YOU have spotted this display at your local Walgreens, please leave a comment and let us know! Hopefully this will be a new addition to Walgreens stores nationwide!
Another huge thanks to reader T. for this sighting (and for making my day)!
PS: T. has swatches of the new Sinful Colors Diamond Lust collection on her blog!

REALLY?! This is awesome news! The Ulta near me has barely any Essence products and they don't keep them well-stocked. Nobody else around here even sells it. I hope this comes to my area!
This is so exciting!!! :)
I agree...this would be fantastic if all Walgreens started carrying Essence, but I'm not gonna hold my breath! I live in a small town and my Walgreens is kinda lame. :(
I think it's time I go stalking my local Walgreens!!!
Yay! How exciting! My Ulta is 30 minutes away! Now if only I could have an NYX display near me!!
I just went to a Walgreens last night in East San Jose that had Essence products. The items were not out in an organized display like what T. spotted, but there were still many things there that I never see at Ulta!
The photos are awesome! Not holding my breath though that they show up where I live!
G, do you have reviews on Essence? i've never tried them, but they're so cheap and i never know where to start!
what's good from Essence?
I do! You can click the "Essence" tag at the bottom of this post and all of my Essence reviews will come up (look for the line that says "TAGS" above). I'll also be reviewing the mascara I mentioned in this post, along with their new eyeliner pen, very soon. :)
Essence is the brand with the peel off base coat, right?
Lipsticks, glosses, and polishes. I also like the Stay All Day eyeshadows.
I have only tried a couple of eyeshadows.. the closest Ulta to me is two hours away and their Essence display is a sad sight.. but the ones I tried were very good.
Yes, but it's just thinned Elmer's glue.
I am so excited to hear this!
Fan-freaking-tastic!!
My closest Ulta is about an hour away so this is great news! I've been hearing raves about their gel eyeliner so I can't wait!!!!
Thanks for the heads up! Hopefully it will pop up at my closest Walgreens! (:
Woohoo, I love their waterporoof mascara and always feel so silly going to Ulta when I run out just to buy cheapie $1 mascara and nothing else. lol
This news makes me SO HAPPY! I am lucky enough to live in between 2 Ultas, but they don't carry the trend editions. I LOVE their nail polishes. Great quality for such a low price. They are a great little guilt free pick me up.
This is AWESOME! My Ulta essence display is always 9/10 empty and what's there is either the ugliest shades they have or is broken, it's a sad sight. I'm so looking forward to seeing what they actually have to offer.
Where was this sighting? As in, what part of the country? (I always go nuts over these "spotted first" posts because I have no idea if they're anywhere near me...)
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard of ;_; I'm so excited!
Blush. I absolutely love their blushes!
Can you tell me which one? I want to check it out~
I just died of excitement. Meanwhile my bank account and subsequently my bf went NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this news! They never have much Essence at the Ultas I go to, and I love their nail polishes and automatic eyeliners. Fingers crossed these pop up at all Walgreens, and soon. I hope this means their LE lines come to Walgreens, too. I have a nearly impossible time finding those anywhere!
The Stay All Day glosses and Stay Matte lip creams are awesome. :)
The gel eye liners are outstanding. Last longer than MAC or Bobbi Brown. Try the one called London Baby - it's a taupish gray. I love it.
I agree. I am happy to not have to go to Ulta and to have a better (and probably less tried-on) selection of items...but I also really really hope their LE stuff shows up. I've almost never seen the LE stuff at Ulta (does a blush laying around without a display count? lol) and it's almost always really cute *crosses fingers*
It's the Walgreens at Capital Square, near the Sally's Beauty, Target, and Marshalls. It's on Capital Avenue right off the McKee Road exit of 280.
I'd love to know if anyone has seen them in the LA area. I'm 30 minutes from the nearest Walgreens, so I'm a bit hesitant about jumping the gun.
I second the gel liner. Inexpensive and lasts incredibly long. I'm never going back to liquid liner.
