Hi all,
I recently started trying out a couple products by MiEssencia that were being sold at my favorite organic restaurant, and the hype the waitress and owner gave was enough to get me to buy the mascara and the lip balm in one shot. Turns out these two items were some of the worst formulas I've ever seen - the mascara was super-liquid so it didn't cling to your lashes and it would splatter all over your face, plus the packaging fell apart right away. And the lip balm had a really grainy texture and had too much wax in the formula so it would barely come out of the tube if it hadn't been warming in your pocket - I saw the seam starting to split at the bottom from having squeezed it so much. All in all, I was SO unimpressed.
But I don't want that to be the be all and end all, I'm interested in finding out more about the brand and anyone else's experiences. I believe it's an Australian brand. Has anyone else tried their stuff? I'm very picky about ingredients and the actual contents of the stuff seemed very high quality, but without the formulation to match I just wasn't thrilled! I'm all ears, though. |

Hm, I searched before I posted, but I probably spelled it wrong.  I'll Google first and try again. Thanks! |

| Hi, i've heard bad reviews about the mascara too and i personally tried the lipbalm. Dont like it. It separates and becomes very oily. I've thrown mine away. However, their skincare is quite good and mild. I've tried their Facial Serum which is very good and absorbs well. The moisturisers, toners, scrub, body wash, shampoo and conditioner are very light so you may get bored with it after a while. i love their blush, very pigmented and natural. Hope this helps. |
