Cookies & Cream Trend Edition by essence - haul & swatches

I have been on the hunt for this limited edition ever since I saw the press release photos but whenever I finally found a store that had put a Cookies & Cream display everything besides some nail polishes was sold out. Yesterday was my lucky day - I eventually found everything I wanted from the collection! It took me forever but I did it P 

essence Cookies & Cream TE eyeshadow 01 So hot, donut!
This is the color I wanted the most! I really don't know how to describe this shade besides it actually reminds me of a donut :D I honestly cannot even tell your whether it has warm or cold undertones.

Applause to essence for those names - I love them. I was hesitant about this buying this eyeshadow. Not because of the quality but because this feels like exactly the kind of shade I buy all the time. The color does not look that special but the finish does. Just looking at the color I would say it is definitely warm but when I take closer look I am not sure yet again.

Yeah well, there goes my new year's resolution about not buying any more blushes in 2014. But honestly, how could I pass this up? It is so pretty and unique! I adore the color and the finish. It is not shimmery or glittery but has more of an satin finish.

These swatches were done without a base and after just putting my finger in the product ones.

Left: No base.
Right: Urban Deckay Primer Potion
I don't know why but in the picture it looks like the side with primer underneath has lost all its sheen. In reality that is not the case. They are a little less satin but they basically look exactly like they do in the pan.

I have not had these products for very long, so I cannot tell you too much about them. But if you are lucky enough t find them in stores go get them! I like the quality, the shades the finish and the price is great as well. I am really happy I found these! <3

Did you get anything from the Cookies & Cream collection? I thought about getting the other light eyeshadow too (it looked really nice and I was impressed with the swatches) but I could not justify buying another highlight color.

Oh, and by the way:

Happy Easter! <3
