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.

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...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
