Look What Arrived!

Look what I found at my door this morning! My MIA e.l.f nail polish in Dark Glitter Purple! It arrived in the same size box as my other products arrived in together, a bit of a waste I thought? Anyway I am disappointed in this colour and I will tell you why.

It didn’t come in a product box this time (no waste), it was just wrapped in a plastic film, so you can tell if it has been opened or not, which is great! It also had a sticker on it saying, ‘Brand New Formula’, overall it looks like any other £1.50 e.l.f nail polish, but the colour is way off!

When I first saw it on their website it was a NEW colour and I was looking for a full glitter purple nail polish, like the Red Glitter by Barry M I have. The swatch on their website showed a full purple glitter colour, but when I received it this morning, let’s just say, it is not what I wanted! L

This is what I was led to believe it looked like,

This is what it really looks like,

- Sorry about the state of my nail, I just wanted a quick swatch!

It is really dark and it has more blue glitters in it than purple and the formula is very washy, you would need several coats, plus it looks too shiny/glossy, a glitter polish is not typically shiny/glossy. I’m grateful that they sent it me, but I just don’t like it, sorry!

It is partially my fault because I didn’t think to check swatches on Google Images, but the name and website swatch misled me for some reason, even though it does say Dark Glitter Purple, I was still expecting a colour more like e.l.f Purple Dream nail polish, but full on glitter! It is actually a nice colour, but just not my kind of colour and finish, better luck next time! J

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price · Released in 2007 (12 years ago). · Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. · Classed as a floral scent. · ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box. Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...
