Essence From Russia with Love Eyeshadow – Review, Swatch, Photos

by Tavia

Hello beauties!

Today I want to talk to you about Essence From Russia with Love Eyeshadow that was released earlier this month part of Essence Kalinka Beauty Collection (info & photos) for spring 2014. The new Essence Kalinka Beauty Eyeshadow is available in a limited edition along with two other shades so if you decide that you want to purchase this shade then you should hurry.

Availability

International Launch Date – January 2014 exclusive to these countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Bolivia, Bosnia, Brunei, Greece, Israel, Kuwait, Italy, Oman, Palestine, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, and Uruguay.

Essence Kalinka Beauty Eyeshadow in No.01 From Russia with Love (€1.99 for 0.08 oz/ 2.5 g) is a light orange shade with warm tones. It has a soft creamy texture that is applied easily across the lid but is not so highly pigmented as it’s described. It takes a bit of effort to build up the color to a decent visible shade, otherwise only swatched or applied on the lid in one layer it looks a bit sheer.

It’s a beautiful orange shade, wearable by all skin tones and perfect if you want to create a colorful or a fresh, sun-kissed makeup look. Essence From Russia with Love it’s easily blendable but it has some fallout when I dipped my brush into the pan. It has a soft lightly creamy texture but somehow a bit powdery as well.

It comes in as a single eyeshadow in a plastic case with a transparent top and you can easily see the shade. The quantity of product is more than fair considering the small price.

I used this shade in several makeup looks and HERE you can take a look at see it for yourselves if you are interested. I have oily lids but the Essence Kalinka Beauty eyeshadow doesn’t crease with or without eyeshadow primer but it will begin to loose its color intensity and fade away after 6 hours.
