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, orange and lemon notes stand out the most and it is slightly strong, but not too overpowering. I think it would appeal to any age, because the floral notes balance out the fruity ones. It does last quite a long time on the skin and it is an overall lov
