Brisbane’s awful weather has really upset my plans for clear photos, so instead of my very exciting post about a high end dupe, we have some swatches of Essence’s latest trend edition, Metal Glam.
I was very excited to getting my paws on this collection as it features both a liquid blush and a highlighter!
As you can see, this trend edition also features nailpolishes $2.95 (including one glitter topper $3.50 ), lipgloss $3.50, some stick on beauty accessories and nail stickers/polishes $3.50 and new metal glam eyeshadows $4.25.
Miss K grabbed the nailpolishes, but I had eyes only for that blush ($4.95) and the highlighter ($5.35)
Our little haul!
Here we have the blush in shade Glam-me in artificial light, it comes off as a peachy/coral tone with quite a bit of shimmer. I think pairing this with a dewy look would be a bad idea, as i could give the appearance of oily skin. Its a gorgeous colour on my pale skin, and would give a nice flush of shimmer to darker skintones
The highlighter in Gold-Digger is just as gorgeous, the powder is finely milled and applies like a dream. Like any highlighter with heavy shimmer, you need to be careful with application, but for the price, I can definitely recommend this one.
Last but not least, the nailpolishes. These suprised me, as you can see in my swtches below, the glitter topper looks very green toned, but when applied over a base colour, it turns true gold. I am currently wearing the bronze colour:Steel-ing the Scene, and am happy to report that it is opaque in one coat. The brush size on these is excellent and I had no application issues.

Add in one dodgy mani for effect
Overall, I am very happy with my purchases. Metal Glam is Priceline exclusive and limited edition, so get them while you can!
Let me know if you’ve purchased these and loved or hated them
