Quick post: Essence Oktoberfest

October 8, 2014

I spotted one of Essence's many fall collections over at Chic Profile and was a tad smitten.  Their 2014 Oktoberfest collection brings back the deer motif and gingham pattern we saw last fall

This year they added a carousel design, which was very cute (although I still think Paul & Joe's Carousel collection from spring 2013 has the lock on that).

My favorite though was the pretzel.  I think this is the first time I've seen a pretzel on makeup.  In fact, it's rare to see a savory treat on beauty products.  Most of the time it's desserts

How cute does it look on the blush?!

If Essence were available in the States I would snatch these up.  I just love the novelty of having a blush or eye shadow with pretzels on it.   Maybe next year Essence will have a frosty beer mug embossed on their Oktoberfest collection.  Ha!

  1. It seems in Texas nowadays, they would only release one limited edition every year (around Halloween) and I have snatched the blushers and highlighter both (a twilight one from 2012 and Bieber collection for last year). They were great products for the price and the Bieber highlighter has SWAG allover it…
    Anyway, I have seen bloggers from Seatle having much better luck (on the LE releases) though, maybe it’s because it’s closed to Canada.
