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 crease-resistant. They should also layer together perfectly or look great for just an accent colour. The palette is also paraben free, sulphate free, phthalate free and dermatologist tested.

These eyeshadows are amazing! They are extremely pigmented and foiled. They are also really soft, buttery and the consistency is not thin so they last for ages on your eyes. I always recommend using eye primer and I would recommend that you do your base make-up after applying these as there are a lot of fall out glitters with these shades. You can apply them wet, you don’t need to but it might help with the fall out. I find that using a stiff synthetic brush applies them better. I tried using a regular eyeshadow brush and the bristles were just too soft to pick up the pigment. I used the Sigma Short Shader - E20 brush to apply the Star Light shade to my inner corners and it looked absolutely and incredibly stunning! Star Light is definitely my favourite shade! I can’t stress enough how much I love and recommend this palette. I wouldn’t say it is for everyday casual use, but it sure is a treat to wear for special occasions. This palette is out of this world!

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

KALEIDOS Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palette

This was the futurism palette that I was the most excited about trying. It’s the one that has the most cohesive colour story to me and I do love me some warm neutrals! I still have three more futurism palettes to test out and I can’t wait. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and coral city skyscraper theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside. The eyeshadow shade names come printed on a removable plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Multi-Chrome (MC) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smooth as Silk Application ·   ...
