Review: Love, Words & Puzzles

Today I am going to review two Impulse scents that I haven’t previously tried before. I had seen these when they first came out, but decided I wasn’t really interested in them! I happened to be shopping one day and saw them and just decided to pick them both up to try out. They also sound like they are part of the same line, so I thought it would be a good idea for me to review them in one post.
Loving Words
The can design I have is a kind of jade colour, which is the main base colour. Underneath the logo there are a lot of different coloured words making up a heart. All the permanent scents have since had their cans re-designed. This can is now white based with a jade green bottom design with lilac flowers. The new design is very girly and it is nice, but not as eye-catching as the design of the can I currently have! You get 75ml of product in the can.

The fragrance notes are:-

Violet & Raspberry

This scent smells really fruity, florally, sexy and fresh. The raspberry is definitely the dominating note. The violet does tone down the raspberry quite a bit and it is kind of woodsy. The scent makes me think of a tropical ocean. This does smell really nice and it is kind of masculine compared to Love Puzzle. This probably won’t last all day, but because it is one of the stronger scents it should stick around a while.

This is a really great scent and would definitely re-purchase it.

Love Puzzle
This can design is white based with a lot of different coloured words making up a heart shape around the logo. You get 75ml of product in the can.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Pear, Plum, Apricot & Mango
Middle Notes: Peony, Lilac & Violet
Base Notes: Blackberry, Musk, White Amber & Sandalwood

This scent smells really fruity, florally light and fresh. I can really smell the fruit notes and the peony. It smells gorgeous! This scent probably won’t last all day, but Impulse scents in general do last quite a long time. From experience, the stronger it smells when you spray it, the longer it lasts on your skin. This has a softer scent than Loving Words and is slightly more beach and summer smelling, but they really do smell completely different!

This scent was Limited Edition for Summer 2012, so you’ll be lucky if you manage to find a can. It is definitely now one of my favourites, I’m just sad it took me so long to try it because I may not be able to re-purchase it!

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
