Essence Tribal Summer Collection

Essence released its Tribal Summer Trend edition at Target just a few weeks ago and I bought a few products to share with you guys. I did not go overboard this time and just bought the products I would use.



The Trend Edition came with

Liquid Blush - 01 Waka Waka $4.25
Pigments - 01 Na-Rock, 02 Waka Waka, 03 Inti Inka and 04 Copper earth $4.25 each
Nail Polishes - 01 Waka waka, 02 Inti inka, 03 Ta-la-ra, 04 Tipi-ya-yeah and 05 Na-rock $2.75 each
Long Lasting Lipsticks - 01 Na-rock and 02 Waka Waka $4.10 each
Bronzer - 01 Inti Inka $5.35
Oil Blotting sheets - 01 Matte Me Pacha Tulum $3.50
Feather hair extension - 01 Inka's soul $4.25
Tip Painter Set - 01 Aztecs Ceremony $5.35


I picked up the 4 pigments and the bronzer from this collection as everything else did not appeal much to me. I used to be a pigment hater almost a year ago because they are messy to work with. But I have found how versatile they are and I love playing with them now. Pigments are not cheap so when I saw these I had to buy them all. They are gorgeous colours and if I don't want to use them I could always press them into eyeshadows (or blush for the pink one)


Pigments in Na-Rock, Inti-Inka, Waka Waka and Copper earth.


What is a trend edition with out a powder, be it highlighter or bronzer. The Tribal Summer edition came with this bronzer which I think would make a better highlighter  for most skin tones. It is not dark enough to be a bronzer and its orange. When used with a light hand it picks up enough colour to be used as a highlighter for the cheek bones for my skin tone.

Copper Gold Eye Makeup recreating Niesha Jeenwal's look

Hey guys,

This is my take on Niesha Jeenwal's Copper Gold eye look that she posted a few days ago. You can see her look here. It is a very versatile look for Indian festivals as it incorporates the metallic colors of gold, copper and red. Also instead of eyeshadow I used pigments as I wanted to try something different. Pigments are very messy to work with but I used Duraline to keep them from falling everywhere.

Products I used are :

Inglot Pigment in 78 which is a bronze gold in the inner 1/3rd of the lid
Inglot Pigment in 25 which is a copper on the middle of the lid
Inglot Pigment in 54 which is a maroonish red on the outer 3rd of the lid
Inglot Duraline
MAC Texture eyeshadow to blend the eyeshadows in the crease
Maybelline Stiletto eyeliner in Black
Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara
