NEXT Paradise Wardrobe

I thought I would review a perfume set. One of the scents in the set is already known to me, but I was mostly interested in trialling the other two scents and seeing how they differ.

The bottles are small glass cuboids with silver plastic lids. They all have the regular perfume spritzer. Each one has a different colour theme; Blue (Escape), Pink (Paradise) and Green (Island). Each bottle holds 15ml of the eau de parfums.
Paradise Escape

Top Notes: Bergamot & Verbena
Base Notes: Musk & Sandalwood

This scent smells quite fresh and you definitely get the hint of musk, verbena and rose. It also kind of smells masculine, but not really noticeably. It does remind me of an ocean type scent.
 Paradise

Top Notes: Apple & Lemon
Middle Notes: Magnolia & Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Musk

I love this scent and I have for years. Next keep discontinuing this scent and then a couple years later, they bring it back. I got my first bottle when I was quite young and I have bought it on and off since then. Each time it is brought back, it has a new bottle and new theme, but the same classic scent. It smells really bright and fruity and you get the subtle floral notes. I can mostly detect the magnolia and apple with the sandalwood.
 Paradise Island

Top Notes: Mango & Guava
Middle Notes: Coconut Water & Pineapple
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Musk

This one smells quite fruity and you really get the hints of the coconut and pineapple. The coconut makes it smell slightly softer and it reminds me of a tropical beach.

I thought I would like Island the least because it contains coconut water and I don’t like coconut scents at all. The Escape was my least favourite and was kind of disappointing; I thought it would smell more floral. The original Paradise is of course my favourite of the three and I kind of already knew it would be. All of the scents do last a while on the skin, but I find Paradise to be the longest lasting. This is a great set if you want to try before you buy a full sized bottle, which is why I will not be re-purchasing this set.

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters

A few posts ago I mentioned that I purchased a Kaleidos Space Age Highlighter from Depop and I said I really wanted the whole collection (8 highlighters) and was considering purchasing the whole bundle. The bundle was and is still out of stock, so I caved in and went for the second best option. I ended up purchasing The Six Highlighter Bundle, where you choose six of the shades and you get their Precision Highlighter Brush, all for $76.00 (£60.70). With this option I would only be missing out on one shade. My order was shipped from China and took 10 days to get to me. The shipping was FREE as I spent over $70.00 and I wasn’t charged any customs fees. Inside the main package is the bright bundle box, it looks like a present/gift. When you open this up, the highlighters and brush are inside the metallic padded envelope. I already own the shade Ray Rider (N03) (champagne sheen with a peach hint).

Urban Decay Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes eyeliner. I am going to review the product as a whole, even though I only have it in the one shade. This product is a jumbo/chubby lip pencil with a black plastic lid. It is just like the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners, but bigger. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Theodora is a bright, creamy, glossy cherry red shade and is Limited Edition, but it is part of the regular line and is instead called F-Bomb . You get 2.8g of product and it is full size. You also have to sharpen it to dispense more product. The formula is smooth, creamy, glossy and slightly tacky, but not sticky. This product is supposed to give your lips an opaque, saturated and pigment rich colour with a glossy finish. It is also mean’t to be quite creamy so that it glides onto your lips. The product is also said to contain plant derived ingredients, whi
