Review: Ted Baker 'Origami' Body Spray

I was interested in trying this body spray and I needed to get some things from Boots and noticed there was a 3 for 2 offer on, so I decided to get this as my free product.

The bottle design is quite simple. It is a plastic cuboid shaped bottle with a spritz applicator. The cap is a gold colour and on the front of the bottle is a sticker showing various folded pieces of paper in shades of pink. You get 150ml of product in the bottle.

The fragrance notes are:-

Rose, Sandalwood, Raspberry & Vanilla

It is definitely a strong mature scent, but still very feminine. I can actually smell all the notes, but the sandalwood stands out to me the most because I quite like sandalwood as a separate note. I think the hints of rose tone down the sandalwood so it is not so strong. Although it is a strong scent it is not overpowering, which I like. It also means this scent lasts a long time on your skin. It is definitely a scent I like but the sandalwood comes across a bit musky, which I think is responsible for it smelling mature and although it smells lovely it is not really me. But by no means is this scent an ‘old lady’ scent. I think it comes down to personal taste.

I don’t think I will re-purchase this because the scent is not really me, but I do really like it regardless. Maybe in a few more years it will be more appealing to my senses.

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
