Personally, I think that you can find tons of great quality drugstore products that won't cost you a fortune. I've been familiar with Essence Cosmetics for years now and it used to be my go-to drugstore brand when I lived back in Europe. I love that Essence Cosmetics stands behind the idea of inexpensive but innovative and high-quality products. I think that everyone should be able to afford to look beautiful and have fun with makeup! Spring is officially here and it is a perfect time to experiment with new colors, textures and new products and it is easy to do so with affordable and quality Essence makeup.
Essence Cosmetics offers many great products and I would love to share with you some of my favorites at the moment.

Spring Makeup using my favorite Essence Cosmetics products
I only used Essence makeup to create the look below. I wanted something fresh and fun for Spring with a focus on colorful and bold lips. This look literally took me less than 10 minutes to create and I love how it turned out! Check out some of the reviews of products I used below!
Essence lip liner in A girl's dream & Matt Matt Matt lipstick in purple power
Can you believe that this creamy and pigmented Essence lip liner is under $3? The color I used was A girl's dream which is a gorgeous raspberry shade. I applied Matt Matt Matt lipstick in Purple Power ($3.99) on top of it which is a bit darker but it helped to create this beautiful & unique shade I am wearing on my lips. I finished my lips with applying Volume On! Plumping lip gloss in Perfectly Dressed ($2.99) which smells amazing by the way!
Essence Pure NUDE highlighter & Rock n' Doll Crazy XXXL Volume mascara
I am all about highlighters and this affordable Essence Pure NUDE highlighter ($4.49) is the bomb. It creates a flawless glow and doesn't have any chunky shimmer or glitter in it. The shade is so universal that in my opinion, it will look great on anyone! Rock n' Doll Crazy XXXL Volume Mascara ($4.99) along with Essence new The False Lashes Mascara Dramatic Volume Unlimited ($4.99) are both fantastic products that provided my lashes with lots of volume and length. I used one coat of each to create my Spring makeup look and there was no clumping at all!
Essence All I Need Concealer Palette & 2 in 1 Eyeshadow & Primer
I was really impressed with Essence All I Need Concealer Palette which comes with 5 different concealer shades including complexion correcting ones. I used some of that green shade to cover few blemishes and red spots on my face and then I applied two lightest shades under my eyes, around my nose and on top of that green concealer. I was really impressed with how creamy and pigmented all of these are and I am glad that they offer decent coverage and blend easily.
Essence 2 in 1 eyeshadow & primer ($4.49) is my another favorite product from Essence. I used it underneath Essence Smokey Eyes Set ($3.49) and it really helped to bring out the colors. I also wanted to mention one more product that stole the show for me which is the Make Me Brow Duo Eyebrow Powder ($3.49) that I used to fill in my eyebrows. This eyebrow's duo powder texture was great to work with.
