essence cosmetics my must haves palette $3.49

essence cosmetics has come out with a nice palette and refillable items that you can put in the 4-piece palette called the my must haves palette. It is a great way to mix and match items, take in and out new items and play with color. There are my must haves eyeshadows, my must haves blush colors, a my must haves highlighter, a my must haves bronzing powder and a my must haves fixing powder. The items that pop inside the my must haves retail for $1.99 each. It is a great way to build up a makeup wardrobe at a wonderful price. There is also an 8-pan my must haves palette available for $4.99. 

Here are the eyeshadows I have for my must have palette:

go goldie

all i need

brownlie'licious

miss foxy roxy

Here I want to show you pictures of the other items I received to put into the palette and use:

highlighting powder

fixing powder

hello sunshine bronzer

rosy glow blush

Do you think that these sacrifice quality in any way because of their size? No they do not. These have the same wonderful quality that you have known to come and love from the essence cosmetics brand. My only concern is that while building this palette is nice and makes it easier to get exactly what you want, it actually makes it more expensive than what you would usually pay for an essence cosmetics product. It is worth it, no doubt it. The eyeshadows are well pigmented, smooth and creamy. The blush has good pigment, stay time and doesn't oxidize. I love the fixing powder, it is my favorite white matte one. And the highlighter powder is like a regular powder on me, it is the same color as my skin tone so on me it isn't really a highlighter!

Here are swatches of the eyeshadows, blush and bronzer:
