One of the things that's nicest about cheapy brand Essence is the fact it releases regular limited-edition trend-led collections, like the recent Into the Wild collection, which generally turn up at least one or two extra items of extremely affordable interest.
Safari was the theme of the last collection but we're heading to tropical climes this time around with the August-launching Return to Paradise. Tropical greens, oranges and purples are the forest and plumage-inspired shades and there's a couple of nice little bits in there too. Want to see what's what? Read after the cut, so!
