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.
MACARON - metallic light gold shimmer
EIFFEL TOWER - true metallic gold
LOUVRE - metallic blue based silver
CRÈME BRÛLÉE - metallic gold copper
BONJOUR - dark brown with gold glitter
CAFÉ - dark chocolate brown with gold glitter
BAGUETTE - soft matte beige
CROISSANT - duo chrome brown with green hue
VERSAILLES - dark metallic forest green with glitter
MADAME - dark metallic purple with glitter
BASTILLE - metallic gunmetal with glitter
BERET - smoky metallic black with glitter
The brush included is dual ended, with one end being a slanted eyeliner brush and the other being a small shading brush. It is a very handy inclusion in this palette.

I love the design of this palette so much and the eyeshadow names are so cute. The design is simply beautiful and you get a good mixture of eyeshadows. They are also decently sized and the only disappointment is the shade Bastille, which barely swatched at all and it has a strange texture which is different to the other eleven, so I would call this the dud shade of this otherwise stunning palette. The brush is quite handy, but I prefer using my favourite eye brushes. The magnetic fastening is very sturdy and the overall palette feels very durable. The inside plastic base can get dirty, but you can clean this with a small damp cotton bud if you like.

Overall this is a great palette and it is extremely versatile. In truth I probably wouldn’t get much use out of it, but the Parisian theme just sold it for me. As I was quite late getting this palette,  I don’t believe it is widely available anymore.

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Farewell!

Hello everyone, As you can see from the title of this post, I have decided to quit blogging!. Blogging has been a part of my life for over 11 years and I have enjoyed it a lot and it has also been a form of therapy for me. But it’s now time to leave, my life has evolved so much this last year and a half and I am now looking forward to exploring new things. I have also closed my blog e-mail address, Twitter account and Bloglovin account. I will be leaving up all of my posts, but I have turned off new comments. Take care and thank you for all your support over the years. ♥ ♥ ♥

Dose of Colors Liquid Matte Lipsticks in Old Flame & Camp Fire

I decided to buy these and give them ago after hearing good things about them online, there is also a great shade selection. My current favourite lipsticks are the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and I wanted to see how these DOC ones would compare. Old Flame - warm rusty orange Camp Fire - burnt sienna These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan. My First Impressions The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind ...
