Zoella Beauty 'Secret Scenta' Mist Set

I was watching Zoella’s video about her new and upcoming Beauty and Lifestyle collections and saw that this gift set would be on offer for Christmas. I thought it would be perfect for me, as I have already tried two of the scents and I was interested in testing the other two and I didn’t want to risk purchasing a full size bottle of either straight away. This set actually shouldn’t be for sale yet, but apparently Superdrug have some sort of test sale policy where they can sell items a while before they are officially released to see how well they can sell. I find this arrangement a little odd, they must just want to be the first to sell stuff and get the exclusive! Either way, this policy allowed me to buy the gift set this month, even though it is a Christmas release. It’s name is also a play on the tradition, ‘Secret Santa’.
The bottles are the same as the full size versions, but smaller and cuter. They are square shaped and made of glass with plastic caps. They all have the regular spritzer applicator and each bottle has a different design back drop. Blissful Mistful has a white polka dot backdrop with a rose gold cap. Let’s Spritz! has a white lace backdrop with a metallic turquoise and white polka dot cap. Sweet Inspirations has a light pink backdrop with a gold shell like pattern and it also has a gold cap. Bake My Day! has a white diagonal gingerbread man backdrop and a bronze cap. It also has a white inscription on the front which reads; “A super indulgent warming gingerbread and vanilla scent, with top notes of cinnamon and chocolate. It’s delicious!”. Each bottle contains 15ml of liquid.
Blissful Mistful
“A beautiful soft, feminine fragrance with notes of Strawberry, Grapefruit, Violet, Jasmine and Gardenia”
I have had a bottle of this scent before and I wasn’t too keen on it, but I think I have changed my mind. It is a nice delicate and fresh scent and I like it even more every time I spray it

Let’s Spritz!
“A fresh and fruity spritz with delicate notes of Raspberry and Cassis”
I have also had a bottle of this one before and I love it. It smells so fruity and sparkly and you really get that raspberry note.

Sweet Inspirations
“A delicious gourmand fragrance with notes of Sweet Almond, Creamy Vanilla and Honey”
This scent is a more recent release and I loved the idea of the collection, but I wasn’t sure about the scent description. It is delicate, but it reminds me of coconut and there isn’t coconut in it, so it must be the almond and honey mixed. I dislike the scent of coconut and I’m not overly keen on this scent but it is ok. I probably wouldn’t wear it, but I wouldn’t rule out using it as a room spray.

Bake My Day!
“A warming indulgent fragrance with notes of Ginger, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Chocolate”
This is a brand new scent for this Christmas and should be available separate to this set. You can really smell the ginger and cinnamon and it smells just like Jamaican Gingerbread Loaf. It’s not really the type of scent you would think about wearing and I am not overly keen on this scent either, but it would be nice maybe as a room spray, but the cake smell is quite strong. It is definitely more suited to the winter months, rather than an all year round type scent.
All of the scents last quite a long time on the skin, but as they are mists they won’t last as long as regular perfumes. Overall I think we can conclude that I do not like the food related scents. I don’t really like Sweet Inspirations, which is supposed to smell like macarons or Bake My Day!, which does smell like gingerbread. I do like the other two scents though, but they are just fruity and floral. Let’s Spritz! is my favourite out of the four. This is a good little set to give as a gift to someone or you could split them up and make your own little gift bundles for your loved ones. It has cured my curiosity about the two new scents, but I am left a little disappointed by them. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Zoella Lifestyle collection, which should be released soon.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

Make-Up Declutter 2022

This is the last ever declutter post I will be sharing with you. I have lost interest in really experimenting with my make-up looks so I thought it was time for another declutter.

The brands of products I have decluttered are; BECCA, Benefit, Kaleidos, MAC and theBalm.   EYES Single Powder Eyeshadows - 9 Single Cream Eyeshadows - 3 Single Liquid Eyeshadows - 1   That is a total of 13 eye products.
