TAG - Colours Of The Rainbow

Today I am going to do a TAG to change things up a bit. I have seen this TAG floating around on YouTube and thought it would be interesting to do, plus it really gets you thinking and whilst you’re searching for colours, you may come across a product you forgot you had! You basically go through the colours of the rainbow and pick products you like that are the corresponding colour, to make it easier and more varied, the colour of the packaging also counts. RED ♥ Essie Nail Polish in Olé Caliente - This nail polish is described as being a red/orange shade with pink undertones, but I would say it is more of a bold scarlet red with fuchsia undertones and it is one of my favourites from my collection and the brand Essie overall. It was part of the Spring 2012 collection and I have it swatched here . ORANGE ♥ MUA Power Pout in Justify - I don’t know if this really counts, but it is the only remotely orange product I had other than nail polish. The actual stick of produc...

Soap & Glory sexy MOTHER PUCKER™ Plumping Lipgloss

Today I am going to review some lipgloss. I received them in two separate Soap & Glory Christmas gift sets and thought I would review them because quite a few people like them and I love Soap & Glory. I have two shades and they are Candy Gloss , which is a glittery nude/pink and Punch Bowl , which is a bright fuchsia pink. The packaging is your standard hard plastic tube and lighter plastic lid and the fonts used really stand out. The plastic tube is also translucent so you can see the shade clearly and it has a doe foot applicator. Each full sized tube comes with 7ml of lipgloss. “Fasten your seatbelts! It's Super-Colour™ Sexy Mother Pucker™ with SUPERFILL™ Lip Plumping Spheres and LIPSWELL™ Volume Boost Technology.  Britain’s hottest selling lip plumping gloss, Soap & Glory’s bestselling Original Formula SEXY MOTHER PUCKER includes ingenious PLUMPING MICROSPHERES that explode in volume up to 10x when they come in contact with water (they’re like tiny, ...

Perfume Power! - VERSACE 'Vanitas'

I received this perfume as a 4.5ml sample in the Glossybox March 2012 Harrods Edition box. The bottle is the exact same as the full sized bottle but in miniature form, but the bigger sizes have a spritz and the sample can be tipped onto the skin to release the scent. The bottle shape is a sort of cuboid with one curved edge and it is a very classic design and the cap is gold in colour with the VERSACE name inscribed on it with a leaf patterned border. The liquid colour is a tinted with a yellow/gold, barely noticeable but it makes a big difference in the way the perfume/bottle looks as a whole. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Lime Middle Notes: Freesia & Tiare Flower Base Notes: Virginia Cedar Wood & Tonka Bean This perfume is a mostly floral scent with a soft fruity lime twist. It smells really clean, fresh and feminine and is a perfect match if you are after a spring scent. It lasts quite a while on the skin and the more you spray the stronger the...
