Essence Twilight Collection Swatches!

Hey everyone!

Today I have swatches of some of the items from the new Essence Twilight Collection. This collection is available at Target. I really not a fan of the Twilight series but this collection seemed really nice :D

The colour cosmetics I picked up were 3 of the pigments and the highlighter.


Pigments in A Piece of Forever, Jacob's Protection and Alice had a Vision Again


Shimmer Powder in Bella's Secret



Pigments in Jacob's Protection, Alice had a Vision Again, A Piece of Forever 
and Shimmer Powder in Bella's Secret

These pigments are a little flyaway in nature. I think you may want to use a good base with these. The effect of Jacob's Protection and Alice had a Vision Again upon application is quite beautiful, very rich and metallic. A Piece of Forever is pretty much pure gold glitter with not much of a base colour. I can imagine patting this over a gold cream shadow to create a very glittery look.

The shimmer powder in Bella's Secret is quite subtle but very beautiful. This would be a great highlighter for every day wear, as it is not overly metallic or intense as some highlighters can be. The texture is very smooth.


I also picked up all four nail polishes in this collection.


Nail Polish in  Edward's Love, Jacob's Protection, Alice had a Vision Again and A Piece of Forever


Nail Polish in A Piece of Forever, Jacob's Protection, Alice had a Vision Again and Edward's Love.


Nail Polish in A Piece of Forever, Jacob's Protection, Alice had a Vision Again and Edward's Love.

The formula of this nail polish is a delight! It is a thicker consistency but it is very easy to work with and it is completely opaque in 2 coats :) I would highly recommend these nail polishes!

I would highly recommend the shimmer powder and the nail polishes from this collection :)

Are you planning on picking up any items from this collection?

    I purchased two of the polishes, and the highlighter! I'm tempted to go back and buy the pigments as the two darker colours look stunning!

    I was going to buys some of the pigments today... I really liked the one that had rainbow glitter (the only one you don't have) and A Piece of Forever... but they seemed super powdery and I was worried about epic fall out. I was thinking I may wait until they go on sale :P

    Lovely :) I love the polishes, especially Jacob's protection - magical. I'm not a big fan of the Twilight series but these look fantastic! I might have to pop into target!

    i am really liking Jacob's protection - both the pigment and nail polish. looking at the pigment, i did not expect the blue that showed up in the swatch. i'd really like to own the shimmer powder too. too bad this collection is not available in Canada!

    The nail polishes look so nice, especially the dark blue one! The shimmer powder sounds good too. Not sure if these are available in the US but I will have to check it out!

    I was about to head into Target today, but I'm glad I didn't, as I wouldn't have been able to resist! I've been buying too much crap lately, and I haven't even been working :(

    The purple pigment is amazing, but I never actually use any of my pigments so I must resist! The highlighter and the blue and purple nail polishes are tempting though. It's probably a good thing my local Target never updates the Essence stand, I think I could go a little nuts over this collection.

    My target did not have many things left when I visited last week, but I did manage to pick up Jacob's Protection in the polish and pigment.

    I loved the look of the blush and the highlighting powder but the only ones left had been tampered with, so I decided against buying them.

    Great review, thanks for sharing! :)

    Alice had a Vision Again nail polish looks really pretty! I also like the gold pigment. The names are a bit of a laugh though - really catering to the Twilight fanatics LOL

    I've never bought anything from Essence and quite hates Twilight, but these pigments look so great *running to the nearest DM*
    <3 I especially love "Alice had a vision again" <3 (sorry but I really laughed hard at those names)
    Would you like to follow each others? :)
    With love, Minnie

    I'm really liking the Alice had a vision again nail polish! I really like the whole collection actually. I want to get my hands on the blush, shimmer powder, the red lipgloss and maybe one of the eyeliners too. I'm going to give the pigments a miss because I'm horrible at applying them, otherwise I'd get Alice had a vision again.
    I saw them all in my local Target yesterday and the stand looked really well stocked but I didn't get any.
