Review Essence all – in - one CC cream

Hi there, the new collection of Essence is in store now. I had heard a lot about their CC cream, so I just had to test it. There was a sale and I got another foundation for 1 euro more. That’s when I figured it would be fun to review them in one article.

What they promise us:

“The future belongs to multifunctional textures that conjure-up flawless results instantly and pamper your skin. As the name reveals, the all-in-one CC cream clear & correct covers irregularities of the skin, spots and redness as well as providing a smooth and soft complexion. The formula is airy and light, yet offers a high coverage. With an SPF of 30, it is the foundation for a fresh complexion in the springtime.”

Well, that are a lot of promises. Let the testing begin.

What mostly surprised me about this foundation, is that there is a SPF 30 in it. That’s a full sun protection. This also means that this foundation is not suitable for a photo-shoot.

It only comes in the shade “10 Natural” and honestly it’s a little too dark for me but I can make it work . The coverage is high, and I get a beautiful healthy glow out of it. This foundation feels very soft on the skin, and blends in very easily. You have to powder it off because It’s shiny.

The package was supposed to be clever thinking because the tube is very thin. But unfortunately it’s not ideal, the hole is to big because the foundation is very liquid. Before you know it there’s a big puddle of it all over your hand (yeah, I speak from experience here).

Ingredients:

AQUA (WATER), DIMETHICONE, ISODODECANE, NEOPENTYL GLYCOL DIHEPTANOATE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (NANO), GLYCERIN, DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, HYDROGENATED TETRADECENYL/METHYLPENTADECENE, C15-19 ALKANE, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, SORBITOL, CETYL PEG/PPG-10/1 DIMETHICONE, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, SILICA, ROSA GALLICA FLOWER WATER, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) OIL, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) PROTEIN, BUDDLEJA DAVIDII EXTRACT, MANNITOL, METHICONE, MICA, ALUMINA, TALC, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE, CITRIC ACID, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM BENZOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXID.

When you need a new foundation with full coverage for a low budget price, you should definitely try this one. Swatch it before you buy, there is only one shade. I think this is a very good foundation for the price of € 3,99. You can buy it at Kruidvat (NL).
