Hiatus! #2

Hi everyone, I have decided to have a break from blogging for a while. I’ve really not been feeling it lately and I have been struggling for time. I thought I would end it here for this year and then carry on in the New Year, where hopefully I will be feeling more refreshed. See you in the New Year! ♥ ♥ ♥

Urban Decay TEN 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set

I just couldn’t resist buying this little gem! As soon as I saw a picture of this set online, I knew I had to have it and I am extremely glad that I am now the proud owner of it. I already own three of these pencils in the shade Zero, so I knew I already loved the formula, but I just wanted to try a brown and some bright colours. In this set you get nine sample size pencils (0.8g) and one full sized (1.2g) pencil. You get your standard black and brown, but the rest have an added extra to them. I personally like all of the shades and I can’t wait to start experimenting with them! Perversion - Blackest matte black Glitter Rock - Metallic light pink sparkle Moonspoon - Metallic grey/silver sparkle Vacancy - Bright metallic teal blue Faint - Matte warm taupe Gonzo - Matte electric blue with shimmer Smokeout - Rich black satin taupe Mugshot - Metallic light pink taupe Stargazer - Metallic gold with sparkle Voodoo - Bright metallic purple with sparkle ...

Mini Review: SEVENTEEN Wild Metallic Cream Eyeshadows

I have finally got around to mentioning these babies! I bought them a while ago when I was obsessed (still am) with potted cream eyeshadows and I very interested in trying them because they are a lot cheaper than the Benefit and MAC versions. I decided to only by two because I wanted neutral shades and these were the only two neutral shades in the line. Wild Nude (shimmery dark nude beige/champagne) Wild Bronze (shimmery dark bronze) I actually really enjoyed using/wearing these eyeshadows. They are really creamy, pigmented and just glide onto your eyelids. They last quite a while, but they do eventually crease. You can wear powder eyeshadows over the top if you wish for them to last longer or they are fine on their own if you don’t mind only wearing them for a short period of time. Although I like them a lot, I’m not too fussed about picking anymore up because they don’t beat the Benefit ones in my eyes! PRICE: £3.99 WHERE CAN I BUY THEM?: Boots (No lon...

Glossybox #12 - October 2014

I have been looking forward to this box for a while now because I knew the design would be cool! It is inspired by Pop Art and there are four different colour boxes. I received the yellow version, but the base of the actual Glossybox is pink. I hoped to get the blue one, but it is what’s inside which really counts! NUXE Crème Fraîche de Beauté Masque | £19.50 – Uk.Nuxe.com | At first I thought this would be a hair product, but I was wrong. I am actually interested in trying this product. It is also a full size product at 50ml and NUXE skincare products are supposed to be very nice. être belle Liplift Peel | €12.95 – être-belle.co | This is another full size (15ml) product and the brand is completely new to me. It is a lip exfoliator, but it has a creamy texture as opposed to the regular sugar scrub types. It will be interesting to see how well it works compared to a more abrasive exfoliator like the e.l.f stick one. So Susan Flutter Mascara | £14.95 – SoSus...

Urban Decay Ammo 2 Palette

This palette has been around for years and I didn’t really have any interest in it, until they re-vamped and re-launched it! The newest version has already been around for a few years and I still told myself NO, but this year I finally caved in and bought it. The design of this palette is very small and compact, but it does have some weight to it. It is made of a hard cardboard type material and it is a slightly gunmetal silver shade with purple detailing. It has a magnetic closure and when you open it, a small mirror is revealed. Inside the palette there are ten mini eyeshadows and a small eyeshadow brush. Separate to the palette, but included in the set is a mini primer potion. The ten mini eyeshadows are 0.8g and are of the amazing quality Urban Decay is renowned for. They are velvety soft, pigmented and blend really well. There is also a good shade selection in this palette and the brighter shades are not too out there, so the selection is perfect for the safe neutra...

CARGO Let's Meet In Paris Palette

I was browsing FeelUnique and came across this palette and I had no idea it existed! I am in love with anything French/Parisian, so I just had to have this palette. The design is very French and classy. It has a black fabric covering with a gold damask chandelier print all over it, which covers the whole palette. It has a magnetic flip opening, which reveals a mirror and a black plastic base which houses twelve eyeshadows. Also included inside the palette is a dual ended eyeshadow brush. The eyeshadows are very pigmented and soft. Each one is 0.8g and there is a mixture of different shades and finishes. You have very wearable shades and then pops of colour. Even though they are much pigmented, I would still use an eye primer because it will just add to the pigmentation and quality.

Perfume Power! - Britney Spears 'Hidden Fantasy'

This is the fifth Fantasy perfume I have bought, and mostly in aid of the Fantasy post I have planned for you. The bottle has a glass red spherical shape with icy pink diamantes. The band around the neck of the bottle is a ruby red shade and the cap is rounded and made of translucent red plastic. Lastly, it has the regular perfume spritzer to dispense the liquid.                                                     The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Orange, Tangerine, Lemon Verbena & Neroli Middle Notes: Clove, Sweet Notes, Lily & Jasmine Base Notes: Vanilla, Wood, Sandalwood & Amber The bottle, like the others from the Fantasy range, is very well designed and lovely to look at. The vanilla, tangerine...

Zoe Sugg a.k.a Zoella has now launched her brand new beauty/girly collection! When I first heard she was going to launch products, I instantly thought it would be make-up, I was wrong.

Serial Sampler #3

As soon as these perfumes were released, I knew I wanted to test them. They are both by Britney Spears and called Fantasy - The Naughty Remix and Fantasy - The Nice Remix . The Naughty Remix sample is 1.5ml eau de parfum. The sample packaging is a deep dark theme with pink, purple and black. “For moments when you are feeling dangerous and daring” This one smells really woody and musky and is the sort of scent to give me a headache. It’s just too musky for me! The Nice Remix sample is 1.5ml eau de parfum. The sample packaging is a light girly theme with pink, white and black. “To keep in touch with your softer side” This one smells really light and dainty and you can really detect the kiwi note. It does smell musky, but in a sort of tropical way. Overall I really prefer the Nice Remix , as it is lighter and more feminine smelling. It is also the closest to the original Fantasy fragrance. The Naughty Remix is just too much and just smells sickly! ...
