Hang Ten With Essence Cosmetics
Germany may have just missed a shot at the World Cup finals, but its bargain beauty brand, Essence Cosmetics, which landed on our shores in April, is a winner stateside. While the nine-year-old company typically introduces 18 themed, limited-edition lines per year at home, that number has been whittled down to four to six for the U.S., the latest of which is called Surfer Babe. A wave-riding-inspired array of aquas, lavenders, grays, melons, pinks, and whites, the range includes a six-colored eye palette, three waterproof liquid eyeliners, an eyeliner pen, three lip glosses, and a powder blush. Most exciting, though, are its four spot-on nail varnishes, which pretty much cover every shade of polish we like to dabble in for summer-exclusive of neons, that is. The two pastel shades are the perfect complement to sun-kissed skin while the gray and fuchsia offer slightly darker, transitional options that will serve you well as fall rolls around. Also, they cost $1.99 a piece-$1.99! Pick up all four for under $10 at an Ulta store near you while supplies last.
