Coming Soon: Urban Decay Oz The Great and Powerful Palettes

Photo: Blog.Debenhams.com Urban Decay has recently released these two limited edition palettes inspired by the film, Oz: The Great and Powerful. They have not been released in the UK yet, but from what I have read they should be released here in March! Both palettes look stunning but I’m mostly looking forward to the Theodora one because the palette looks more Wizard of Oz inspired and definitely my kind of product. I actually want it for the tin palette because the shadows are removable and I was going to buy an empty Urban Decay tin palette, but none of the current designs caught my eye until this one did. It is just an added bonus that the eyeshadows in this palette are neutral. When they are released Debenhams will have them, but if like me you rely on the Internet for Urban Decay, BeautyBay.com should be getting a limited amount of them on 7th February. They should be around £35 each by my estimates, but I could be wrong. Which one have you got your eye on, or ar

Perfume Power! - Diesel 'Loverdose'

Photo:  TheFragranceCounter.co.uk I received this perfume as a Christmas present and it was part of a gift set. This is the eau de parfum version of the fragrance. The bottle is very gorgeous indeed! The bottle is made of glass and it is heart shaped with amethyst colouring. If you look closely at the bottle you can see that the spray also acts as a sort of dagger, ‘a dagger to the heart’. Also the edges of the heart are not straight, which means the bottle can be stood three different ways, only two of the ways work for me because when it is stood on the longest edge it falls over, but once I've used more of the perfume up that might solve the problem! The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Mandarin & Star Anise Middle Notes: Jasmine, Gardenia & Liquorice Base Notes: Amber, Vanilla & Wood This perfume is described as being oriental with a liquorice heart. It is definitely more of a night time scent because it is quite strong and sexy smelling and

BIG NEWS: Next Paradise IS BACK! ❤

As you may have noticed from the title I am excited! I actually found out on Christmas Eve but forgot to mention it to you, are you ready? NEXT PARADISE PERFUME IS BACK IN BUSINESS! ! ! ! I’m not sure when it was re-launched and I don’t know whether it was temporary for Christmas, but from what I can tell the website still have it in stock, so who knows. I just hope that it stays so I can re-purchase it again. On the website it shows the perfume in its re-branded state and I must say the bottle looks lovely and it is now £10 for 100ml, instead of the previous £12 for 100ml, so even more WOW! Click here to read the review I posted on this perfume. £10 – 100ml – Click Here! So will you be picking it up? Because I definitely 100% recommend it! J

Christmas Beauty Haul #1

This post is a bit late I know, but I had to wait for the Vera Wang perfume to be delivered to my local store. I am going to share with you the beauty related gifts I received for Christmas, as well as a few extra bits I have bought myself. On Christmas Day I received the Soap & Glory Best Of All gift set, which includes nine full sized products, Soap & Glory Showers That Glee gift set, which includes five full sized products, Nivea All About Luscious Lips gift set, which includes four lip balms, BaByliss Limited Edition Exquisite Hair Dryer set, which includes a hair dryer carry bag, hair brush and two styling hair clips and PRO Beauty Tools Twilight Sparkle Ceramic Styler hair straighteners. Early on Christmas morning I discovered that the Boots.com Christmas Sale had started on Christmas Eve, so I quickly browsed and I found that everything I wanted was out of stock and I already knew my store didn’t do the gift set’s I wanted, so I was pretty annoyed! I managed
