I recently made three online orders and I thought I would share with you what I bought. From FeelUnique.com, I purchased three Urban Decay Single Eyeshadows in Chopper , Verve and YDK . I already have these shades in palettes, but I am going to declutter a few more palettes and these were my favourite shades from the palettes I am getting rid of. From MAC, I purchased three Liptensity Lipsticks in Brick Dust , Doe and King Salmon . I also received six free samples with this order; Neoprene Bag, Upward Lash Mascara , Prep+Prime Natural Radiance Base , Cleanse Off Oil , In Extreme Dimension 3D Lash Mascara and Strobe Cream . I actually had an issue with this order because they sent me the Matte Lipstick in Viva Glam III , instead of one of my Liptensity lipsticks. They let me keep the Viva Glam lipstick and then they sent out my missing Liptensity. A similar thing has happened to me before. It is annoying, but at least it can be easily resolved. I also decided to...

I bought this perfume a while ago because I couldn’t find a sample of it anywhere and I thought I would just blind buy it anyway. I like a lot of other Britney perfumes and I thought I would like this one too. I was a little wrong! The bottle is a transparent glass hexagonal diamond shape and it has a very simple, yet elegant design. The brand and perfume names are printed in gold across the front of the bottle. The cap is made of light pink plastic and shaped like a diamond. This perfume has the regular perfume spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Coffee, Whipped Cream, Nectarine & Clementine Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Orange Blossom & Dulce de Leche Base Notes: Amber & Musk The bottle design is very nice and sleek. This scent is really light and sweet; it would make a great candle scent. You can smell the musk and warm cream and coffee notes too and it kind of reminds me of Midnight Fantasy for some reason! It does last quite a while on...

I have another mascara sample I would like to share with you today. It is Upward Lash by MAC and it is a 1g sample of the full size mascara. It is supposed to give your lashes high-rise volume, length and curl and be very easy to apply with the effects being noticeable within seconds. It has a moulded brush with a hollow centre which is supposed to retain a lot of the mascara product. The brush is smaller than a standard mascara wand and it should make it easier to apply. This mascara does add quite a bit volume to your lashes, as well as length, separation and definition. It is very easy to apply and after a couple of coats you are good to go. I also found that it slightly curled the tips of my lashes. The effects hold all day and I do like the brush. I would definitely be interested in purchasing a full sized tube, but it will have to wait as I have quite a few mascaras still to test! You can buy the full sized tube for £19.50 and it is available for sale at MACc...

I have seen the HUDA BEAUTY Textured Eyeshadows: Rose Gold Edition Palette before and only some of the shades appealed to me, which is why I decided not to purchase it, let’s face it HUDA BEAUTY palettes are a little expensive! When I saw a photo of the new palette they were dropping, I instantly fell in love. All of the shades appealed to me, but I was mostly interested in the shimmery shades. I actually wasn’t going to get this palette, which is why I bought the CR Queen of Hearts Palette, but I just couldn’t resist! The packaging is quite simple, made of black cardboard but it has an Arabian woman on the front (It might actually be Huda) and the eyeshadow and headpiece she is wearing is reflective. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and eyeshadow pans. You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 25.2g and in four different brand new finishes; Matte, Pressed Pearl, Duo-chrome Topper and Pure Glitter. DESERT SAND -...

I thought I would share some swatches of the last three MAC lipsticks I bought. I bought them quite a while ago and when I put them side by side in the tube, it was funny how similar they looked, but when swatched you do notice the difference. The lipsticks retail for £16.50 and you get 3g of product in the tube. The Velvet Teddy version I have is in the Shadescents packaging, which means you can also get a MAC perfume inspired by the shade. The shade is also available in the regular black packaging, but I chose this packaging because it was the same price and it looks more special. FAUX (S) - muted mauve pink TWIG (S) - soft muted brown pink VELVET TEDDY (M) - deep tone beige My favourite out of three is Twig and it is the perfect shade for the autumn/fall season. My MAC lipstick collection is coming on quite nicely and I can’t wait to buy more shades. ♥ ♥ ♥

I recently did a declutter of my cosmetics and I thought I would share with you how many products I got rid of. I decided to do a declutter because I haven’t done one since March 2016 and I also recently had my bedroom re-decorated and I bought everything brand new, a lot of IKEA furniture! I wanted to sort through everything and then organise it into my new furniture. I bought the cult IKEA Alex 9 Drawer unit for my make-up products and I have to say I am a little underwhelmed by it. I bought some inserts to use in the drawers and they didn’t fit, so I was annoyed at that anyway. You can only pull the drawers out two thirds of the way, so you have a little wasted space at the back that you can’t reach. I suppose you could modify it, but I’m not messing about. I had to buy some cutlery trays to store my make-up in and I am not overly happy with the results, but it will do for now! The unit is a lot smaller than it looks and I always wondered why bloggers tend to have more than o...

I have been purchasing and testing a lot of Christina Aguilera perfumes and this one was next on my list. The bottle has a yellow gold glass rounded hourglass shape with a black lace flower design near the neck of the bottle and the name is written in red font across the front. It also has a plastic diamond shaped cap and a regular perfume spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Peach, Star Anise & Orange Blossom Middle Notes: Freesia, Lily-of-the-Valley, Heliotrope & Jasmine Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber, Musk & Benzoin The bottle is very nice and the scent does last quite a long time on your skin. You can mostly smell the musk and floral notes, which make it, smell deep and kind of mature. When I first smelled it, I didn’t like it. It is not my typical kind of scent, but it is ok. It kind of reminds me of Loverdose by Diesel, which has liquorice as a note. I personally wouldn’t re-purchase it, but I would recommend it. ...

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...

This review has been a long time coming because I have been wearing this scent for over two years. I saw it on television adverts, but first smelled it in Superdrug and instantly fell in love with it. I find the scent iconic and when I smell it anywhere, I know exactly what it is. It is one of my favourite smells in the whole world and I always close my eyes when I first smell it. Sometimes I just sit there sniffing the bottle, that is how addicted to the scent I am! The bottle is sort of diamond shaped and made of glass with a gold shiny plastic lid covering. There is a gap near the bottom of the bottle where the spritzer is. The part where the perfume name is engraved is where press to dispense the fragrance from the spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Neroli, Amalfi Lemon & Raspberry Middle Notes: Jasmine, African Orange Flower & Gardenia Base Notes: Patchouli, White Honey & Amber I do like the bottle design as it is simple and compact. ...

I thought I would share with you my thoughts on a FREE lipgloss sample I received a while back from an online Debenhams order I made. It is Sweet Peach Oil Lipgloss in Pure Peach by Too Faced and it is a 1g sample of the full sized lipgloss. It contains peach oil, coconut oi and vitamin E. These ingredients soften and moisturise the lips. The lipgloss is available in eight different shades and they all smell like peaches (they are supposed to taste like peaches too). The shade I have is described as a peachy pink. It is quite pigmented for a lipgloss and it does apply very smooth. It doesn’t feel heavy on the lips and it does feel moisturising. It also smells amazing! It is not as sticky as your average lipgloss either because of the added oils. You can buy the full sized tube for £16.00 and it is available for sale at Debenhams and TooFaced.com. ♥ ♥ ♥

I first saw this palette online last year and there was no way of me purchasing it, plus it was limited edition. I just loved the name of the palette and the eyeshadows looked beautiful. I was on Facebook not so long ago and I came across a BeautyBay advertisement that showed this palette and it said now back in stock and permanent. I bought it without hesitation! I didn’t even know that BeautyBay stocked Coloured Raine products. I was looking at getting the HUDA BEAUTY Desert Dusk Palette, but it is quite expensive and it has a few similar shades to the Queen of Hearts Palette, so I don’t think I will bother purchasing it now I have this beauty. The packaging is very simple and elegant. It is a matte black, thin rectangular shape with gold detailing. It has a magnetic closing which you just lift up to reveal the palette. There is a small mirror surrounded by reflective gold covering. The twelve eyeshadow pans are decently spread apart (they could be closer together to waste l...
