    Congrats on your 9 year blog anniversary and closing in on 2000 subscribers on Youtube.
    The Essence eyeshadow palette was very disappointing, but the lipsticks are very nice.

    Congratulations on the 9 years of blogging. I’ve been blogger for almost 2 years and I’m really loving it. I have to admit that I’m not super impressed with new Essence fall/winter 2019 collection. I thought that there is going to be more exciting products. But I think they’ll bring out a lot of products for next spring/summer collection as they always do. Enjoyed the video. xx

    Maaike, I discovered so many geest products thanks to your YouTube and Blog. I always love your Essence and Catrice hauls and reviews since you pick the products yourself. Have been loving all your colourful eyelooks though I would never do it myself.

    Wow congratulations that’s a long time to have a blog! I absolutely love affordable makeup and Essence and Catrice are among my favorites! I wish they would release more new products in the United States we hardly ever see new stuff and when we do it’s never the same products you guys get.

    Maaike, I found you thru your videos discussing the differences between warm, cool and neautral pallets. I learned so much from them! I enjoy all of your videos and that you never have a bunch of drama garbage going on! Even tho your channel is a smaller one, it’s one of the ones I appreciate the most! Keep up the good work! Here’s to (at least!) another 9! 😘
