I know that certain limited edition Essence collections do make their way to regional retailers like Fred Meyer in the Pacific Northwest and HEB in Texas, but for the most part we don't see them in wide distribution here in the US. Now, these products I'm about to show you are NOT limited edition but they're NEW, and that's exciting, right?

Thanks again, @mmullins35, for this sighting and pic. I really appreciate it!
There are 2 top coats in this display - the second is a holo top coat, reminds me of the Northern Lights one. It's also 2.99
ReplyDeleteI bought the princess mascara. I've only used it once but it wasn't half bad. Fred Meyer 97005.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with essense while being in Germany. I put myself through the same torture every day.
ReplyDeleteI've heard their lipsticks are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe mascara is amazing. It everything my wimpy lashes need!
ReplyDeleteYAY I need the 3D eyeshadows! :D
ReplyDeleteI was at Ulta yesterday and they apparently were getting ready to put this out... The display was on the counter behind the registers and the products were next to it. I too, torture myself by following their cute limited editions :(
ReplyDeleteI went back to get the mascara but couldn't bring myself to buy it because none of them were sealed at all! I was able to open it and see the brush. For all I know someone could have used it like a tester >_< Maybe if I ever place an online order or they start sealing their mascaras, I will try it.
