Perfume Power! - Hilary Duff 'With Love'

I bought this again after being without it for a couple of years.

The bottle design is very simple and lovely looking. It is a twisted shape, with gold metal banding around the neck. The cap reminds me of a sort of gold bar, but it is plastic with a tint of colour. The bottle design is sort of oriental, which was what Hilary was going for so it suits the scent perfectly.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Mangosteen Fruit & Spices

Middle Notes: Cocobolo Wood & Mangosteen Flower

Base Notes: Amber Milk & Amber Musk

This fragrance is described as being oriental and it smells really light and woody. You can smell the wood and musk, but they are not overpowering notes and you get the slight hint of fruit and flower. I really like this perfume and I think it is suitable for any age of woman as it is light, fresh, clean, fruity, florally and not overpowering so it can be universally marketed.

Sadly I have heard this perfume has been discontinued, I’m sure you can still get hold of it from eBay, but I currently can’t find an official stockist. Hilary is ready to make a comeback next year, so maybe she will treat us with a perfume number three?

Hilary also has a second perfume called Wrapped With Love, which is a take on this perfume, but inspired by the Spring season. If you are interested in Wrapped With Love, I have heard it is harder to get a hold of than the With Love scent, so maybe they have both been discontinued together!

BY BEAUTY BAY New Romantic Palette

I first saw the tease post of this palette on Beauty Bay’s Instagram page on 29 th January and it was a black and white photo, so you couldn’t see the colour story but some of the shades names were a little bit of a giveaway to some possible shades (Raspberry, Flamingo and Khaki etc). On the 31 st January, they posted another tease photo of the shade Queen and this really when the colour story was confirmed. The full reveal post was on 1 st February, the same day as the palette launched. I bought it on launch day; I half expected it to already be sold out, but luckily for me it wasn’t. The formula of the eyeshadows looked like in the NikkieTutorials Palette, which I hoped the shimmers would be as they are stunning. Beauty Bay also had two other palettes that are the same sort of concept; Sunset Horizons and Book of Magic (discontinued). I decided not to purchase these two as I wasn’t completely sold on the colour stories for the usage I would personally get out of them, but they did...

Serial Sampler #11

Today I have a mini mascara to share with you. It is In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash by MAC and it is a 1g sample of the full size mascara. It is supposed to give your lashes extreme volume, a deep black colour and give them a slight curl. I didn’t reckon much to this mascara at all! It coated my lashes in black pigment, separated them, made them look defined and gave them a slight curl, but no volume! I don’t know if the formula just doesn’t like my lashes or whether the brush is different. The brush kind of looks different to the full sized tube from photos I have seen, but I don’t know why they wouldn’t use the same brush for the sample because the brush makes the formula work. I’m guessing I would have to purchase the full size to find out, which I will not be doing. This was my first ever experience with MAC mascaras and it hasn’t put me off. You can buy the full sized tube for £19.50 and it is available for sale at MACcosmetics.co.uk and MAC stores. ♥...
