Essence is a brand that proves that you can keep prices low, and STILL create high quality products! I use their Dancing Green eyeshadow palette so often.... love using the green matte as an eyeliner. My brown eyes POP!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I love your official video.

[@scorpion-lg4ic]

i agree. i have stopped buying elf products... not because I don't love them but their prices have just skyrocketed & it's ridiculous. it breaks my heart a bit because that's something that I used to count on but Essence is queen now

[@paulinepotts9976]

I absolutely love essence, the fact that they can be cruelty free and affordable should make high end companies take notice. Btw their lash primer is insane . It is a great combo with the lash princess mascara.❤

[@larahalfmann5961]

[@jenniferstijfs5188]

Essence has been getting better and betterrrrr

[@amelinevillalobos9345]

[@annamariah.1615]

Ja weil zb als ich mich angefangen habe mich zu schminken habe ich auch eher essence gekauft und mittlerweile habe ich zwar viele high end Produkte aber liebe essence trotzdem noch und werde für immer deren concealer und deren Mascara nachkaufen weil ich da einf noch nichts besseres gefunden habe

[@dliz4019]

I love essence one of my favorite affordable brands. They still keep there prices fair. I like elf too, but they are getting up there with their prices like lots of other drugstore brands.

[@Christina-wk6tm]

Love your content Laura , and essence is such an affordable brand, I adore their products 😊 Keep up the awesome videos 👌🏻

[@changeeyecolor3891]

[@breezybebe8]

[@tnjoyride2583]

[@penelopehalle2010]

They have such good products I live in Czech Republic and every time I go to dm or rossmann I have to stop by the essence section even if I don’t need anything I end up leaving with at least 2 products from essence

[@mariegarfias4482]

As soon as you mentioned something about your eyebrows.. I immediately had a flashback of that exact makeup video 😂😂 Never a dull moment with Miss Laura Lee Rock with it 😂💕

[@annatully6394]

Gotta love a theme song throw back! Me feeling the familiar beat.. instinctively claps along. 😂💜🙃 I can't help myself! Lol🥰💜

[@lindseyday4084]

Ok, so I have a lot of high-end products and a lot of good drugstore products, and i think I fully understand how to apply them. But whenever I try, I feel like it's not coming together. Im kind of embarrassed. Im just looking to find out what im missing, i guess? Maybe Im doing it wrong? This comment will probably be missed but...its worth a shot. Love your channel. You always look beautiful.

[@tracyhoweler2519]

Girl you got me wanting to try the foundation! Beautiful!! And lip liner! 😊 keep shining bright

[@Lesly0122]

Loved the throwback subscribe song. Essence is such a good affordable brand.

[@allietheparanormaladventurer]

Their sunkissed powder bronzer is my favorite product. I love the lip liners and their lipsticks. You can dupe almost any brand with them ***cough*** pillow talk.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

So pretty.

[@sameerahkhan5042]

I've gotta pick up that foundation!! Been using that gloss for ages and its so good ❤

[@marccolomayt82094]

You are the cutest & nice Essence Makeup skills, Laura!❤❤

[@lisammyers]

I'm very pale and the pure nude highlighter leaves a gray cast on my face but thankfully the brightening powder is light enough because that works so well.

[@ediedodson6902]

I love Essence Cosmetics ❤

[@zoeharber5987]

[@icestyler001]

😮 no setting spray

[@andyandbee]

I wish they were on the Canadian Amazon... I am disabled and can't go out often. So online shopping is eeeeverything

[@vhayek68]

Essence mascara is good for 5 minutes, then it breaks apart and drops on your face and eyes . Truth

[@carmenrm5620]

2:10 Kruidvat in the netherlands 😂

[@yammillopez366]

i love uuu

[@savvie-marie]

💗💗💗

[@ovnimoon5]

[@fitbeaut609]

Anyone saying hmm funny never seen u using essence 💀 then you ain’t a true watcher and don’t pay attention

[@taylorcampbell9087]

Essence out here sponsoring the best of the best!!! ❤ love you Laura!!!

[@laura88lee]

i love you guys

[@Vickyy_]

Essence, the brand where my make-up journey began. Still love a lot of products of them, even the skincare products.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

This made me smile. Love it.

[@lanaatkins3872]

I love the fact that unlike ELF, Essence has stuck to what their image was intended to be, and hasn't swayed when it comes to creating quality products for affordable prices. Elf is getting a little bit big for its britches to be honest.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

The design looks so cool.

[@Skibidi89272]

You cut off the part where you claimed to have “done your brows”? Yeah, I have the essence brow gel and it’s not very good for brows. You used a different product. Also, essence has a lash curler but she didn’t use theirs. More proof of this is that she did not state the names of the gel she used for her brows OR the name of the eyelash curler. She named every other product.

[@brittanyp9334]

Essence has become my fav brand. I had no idea about the whole EU guidelines they follow! That is great to know. I love them even more now!

[@meremorris2013]

Essence has always been that brand; affordable, reliable quality, holy grail products, and underrated.

[@just_caitlin]

essence is my all time FAVOURITE makeup brand! Such good quality at ACTUALLY affordable prices! I've been using them for years and essence comprises most of my makeup

[@alexisbinstock2797]

Dang. Essence out here dropping a bag on all these influencer sponsorships 😂

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Please continue this series...

[@shaynaleann1054]

Their sin city palette is all metallics/shimmers and it's absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Awesome. Thanks...

[@lisaportala8130]

I love your finished look! I need to check out more Essence products!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

All about our love.

[@hellfire_rxse7512]

i refuse to support essence due to their shade ranges not having darker shades, or pretty much anything for dark skinned people.

[@illise]

Love essence products. I worked for a makeup store and they sold Essence and fell in love with some of the products. Some of their mascaras are my favorites and their retractable eyeliner is a must for me. Their blushes are super cute and I love their matifiying powder

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Love fashion and makeup...

[@fabiayala8892]

You look amazing Laura! Love the natural look!

[@jillianburke2]

Agreed!

[@laura88lee]

Thank you!!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

So perfect...

[@aundrealauzon]

Being a babe on a budget, I love Essence!
Gorgeous look Laura!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Really informative...

[@khawlabeautiful1340]

Laura please do a video of products that didnt work out for you that you dont like.❤love u laura❤❤

[@Xoxo_Sydney]

She made one not to long ago!

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Amazing ! I learned so much.

[@NepzBabe]

Omgg i love your vibe and happiness in this video! I can see how much you loved recording this video and i love this makeup brand too has an affordable price for our pockets 👛❤️

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I am motivated thank you.

[@sarahpie91]

I love love love the Brighten Up under eye powder. SO good!

[@hardshell9236]

What’s the point of concealing under eyes with foundation and then going over it with concealer?🙄

[@hqneymoons]

brightening and extra coverage?

[@jadedjadejay]

I’m surprised you didn’t use one of their eyeshadow palettes considering they have a bunch. Also, isn’t Essence a UK company?

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

She stated that it's a u.k. company which is why the company has strict ingredients rules they must follow by the European union standards

[@rubysummerpapercraft7794]

It is German

[@wanderlust2638]

When I go to Germany I buy a lot of Essence product. Because some of them are not available in Brasil

[@nihantopcu5392]

i love you so much laura you are so sympathic i love to wath you when ever i feel bored you are kinda person i would be great friends with

[@huskymom5799]

Hey, I just want to tell you that I loved your aura in this video. I think for a while, the beauty review videos got to be oversaturating, and influencers were experiencing burnout. This video you could tell that you were genuinely having fun filming it. Love to see it!

[@thetabascogirl]

Yay Essence! I love extreme shine clear lip gloss as a topper for my lip liners. I definitely want to try out more of these products after seeing this finished look 😍! ❤

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I really liked your video so much.

[@Bunnymum333]

So hard to find Essenes in Australia. All out of stock 😅

[@lidiakuhn6505]

Are those tow mascaras easy to remove. I got one of Essence mascaras and it did not say waterproof, but it was so hard to remove. Can anyone tell me if the one with green or purple are hard to remove ? 🙏

[@klara_0307]

i have the green one and with make-up remover it's easy. Hope it helps! :)

[@tinakitchens4032]

We only have a small section of essence at our cvs and its almost empty. I wish we'd get more

[@KatherynMartinez87]

Ok, am I the only person who doesn’t care for the mascara?! I do enjoy some of their other products, but the mascara ALWAYS transfers on my lid/under eye throughout the day. That being said, the mascara brush is on point.

[@mariainman3618]

I am so glad you did this video. I discovered essence make up about a year and a half ago, and I use it, especially the waterproof mascara.

[@Lalaa_girll]

You are soooooo pretty I’m crying ❤

[@Salenanotselena]

Love essence and Laura!! The best combo!💜

[@sameerahkhan5042]

JUST WHAT I NEEDED!❤

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Awesome job.

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

I loooooove Essence products! I’ve used their green, purple and pink curling mascara over 5 years now, plus their green tinted lash primer is wonderful. (Amazon $5). With the primer, then 2 coats of green my lashes look fake, super thick and long. I’ve only tried one of their blushes, I guess it’s too light for me, but I’m going to order more of the deeper pink ones. Haven’t tried their foundation or concealer yet or their lip liners, but I will be soon. You are gorgeous btw. Your makeup looks high end, you’d never know it was Essence.

[@smay1281]

Thank you Laura. Makeup gets expensive and this is helpful. Looks so pretty on you.

[@Xie_TINEnadhana]

I just bought my concealer, bye bye panda eye mascara, and shimmer lip gloss. I love it! I was contemplating if I’ll be getting the lash princess or the bye bye panda eye, I ended up buying the later. I’ll try the lash princess next time! And I got the wrong shade of concealer, the staff choose the shade for me, it’s more lighter than my skin tone.

[@simplyellenxo95]

Oh girl, first of all congrats on your sponsorship with essence. I actually have a blush from essence.

[@taylornicole8131]

Be my sunlight is my #1 FAV highlighter ever! I’ve repurposed many times.. also I’m obsessed with the Bold Heart blush! Such a beautiful formula.. love Essence so much.

[@jenicakiara]

TH SUBSCRIBE SONG!! missed that haha thanks for the throwback

[@carlabryan449]

Even though it’s all essence … it was so great to see a makeup tutorial from you dollie🙏👏👏👏❤️🥰😘😘😘😘thank you so much!

[@eliethgiron3962]

This type of videos make me feel so happy lol I am so ready for this

[@laura88lee]

yayyyy

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Love your garden...

[@dioramills6139]

I don’t get how you can use a brush around your nose and chin, I’ve tried so many techniques and it’s always streaky 😭

[@virginiabushnell3042]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos lately. Good stuff ❤

[@its_sarandipity]

Laura the design of your cute top matches the design on the lass princess mascara!! 😍

Essence also have a brow pencil that it's tiny tiny tiny , and it is really good and pigmented and not waxy. Just fyi 😉

[@ConradIsFamous]

I would love to try their products!! ❤

[@ConradIsFamous]

I have used their mascara and LOVED it, but nothing else.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Wonderful...

[@Mae11549]

Do not curl your lashes after mascara!! That’s a really great way to rip them out or damage them lol.

[@sameerahkhan5042]

The subscribe song ❤

[@SGmr-fh1py]

Can you do your skincare routine with only hello good stuff pls.
