Every time I’m doomscrolling on Instagram or TikTok, my FYP almost always serves me some sort of childhood nostalgia. Whether it’s a throwback to those iconic Disney Channel shows, blasts from the pasts about our childhood heroes, or those oddly-satisfying posts about toys that newer generations will never truly understand, one thing is clear. Gen-Z is absolutely obsessed with nostalgia. Who else is out here double-tapping on clips from old Barbie films or laughing and feeling seen by the videos of people admitting they chew on Polly Pocket’s gummy-like doll clothes?
If you’re like me and these nostalgic flashes have you majorly yearning for the days when your biggest worry was what cartoon to watch next, then I have some amazing news for you.

Suddenly, we’re all 7 years old again. And if your inner childhood is screaming for more, here’s everything you need to know about Essence Cosmetics’s latest collection.
