Blogmas #18 | Soap & Glory Loved & Glossed™ Gift Set

I was in Boots the other day and I saw this gift set and I knew I had to have it. I have wanted to try these Sexy Mother Pucker™ Gloss Sticks for a while now, but I wasn’t sure which shade I wanted. This gift set has three shades and because the set is £16, you are getting one shade for free. I would have waited for the half price Boxing Day sale, but I didn’t want to risk not getting them.
The packaging is made out a hard black plastic and is barrel shaped, like other chubby sticks. The typography and colouring make the packaging look very sleek. To dispense the product you need to take off the cap, which is very secure and twist the bottom of the pencil. Soap & Glory say that the formula is a mixture of their Gloss-Fix Finish™ and Ultimelt™ Lip Shine & Shaping Technology. You get 2.72g in each stick and there are currently five shades to choose from. In this gift set you get three of the shades, which are Nudist, Fuchsia-Ristic and Plum Jam. They are packaged inside a cute little tin.
Nudist is a beige toned nude, Fuchsia-Ristic is a slightly neon, light fuchsia pink and Plum Jam is a nude berry, slightly plum purple in tone.
This product is supposed to feel light, hydrating and moisturising. The texture should be creamy and glide on effortlessly. It is also mean’t to give your lips a wash of colour that can be built up and add lots of shine.
I really love this product. It is definitely my type of gloss because it is not sticky and it is in a twistable stick form, so I am in love! The formula is really light and creamy, which makes it glide onto your lips like a dream. It is hydrating, but the moisture only lasts as long as you are wearing it. It adds a slight wash of colour and you can build it for a full colour look. And like a lipgloss should be, it is very glossy and packed with shine. It will last for around two hours on your lips without refreshments and it has a really nice slight vanilla scent.

Overall this is a brilliant gift set and the product for me is perfect. I am not one for lipgloss, but in this form it is just like lipstick, but shiny. The only problem I have it that it can be a pain to get the products out of the tin, but this will not trouble me for long because their new home in my make-up collection awaits them!

Perfume Power! - Christina Aguilera 'Woman'

I decided to buy this perfume as it was on my test list on Fragrantica and I saw it for a decent price. I have been struggling to find places to buy perfume samples lately, so I took a gamble and bought the smallest bottle size I could. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle is made of glass and kind of an hourglass shape, just like some of Christina’s other perfumes. It has a yellow gold flower design on the thinnest part of the bottle and Christina’s name is printed in hot pink and the perfume name printed in yellow gold. It also has yellow gold banding around the neck for the cap to sit on. The cap is clear plastic and kind of diamond shaped. It has a slight yellow gold spritzer to dispense the scent. On the outer cardboard box it had this description; “A sensual combination of golden amber and white flowers - radiating femininity the way a woman does”. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Litchi & Pear Middle Notes: Magnol...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
