JUVIA'S PLACE The Tribe Palette

I just happened to be browsing on Twitter a few months ago and I saw a post from BeautyBay that said this palette was now available. I hadn’t seen it before, but I do already own a couple of Juvia’s Place Palettes, so I am aware of the quality. I bought it straight away and couldn’t wait to start experimenting with it. I have recently been incorporating more colours into my eye looks.
The packaging is just like the other nine pan eyeshadow palettes that Juvia’s does. It is square shaped cardboard and a bright lime colour with a beautiful African design on the front. It has a magnetic closing and when the lid is lifted it reveals the nine eyeshadow pans on a shiny green gold background. The eyeshadow pans are very large and the shade names are written in white under each pan. It is available for £19.50 ($20.00) from Juviasplace.com and BeautyBay.com.
You get nine 3.6g eyeshadows in matte (M) and shimmer (S) finishes.
Maasai - bold lime green yellow (M)
Oromo - bright tangerine orange (M)
Tutsi - vivid dark lime green (M)
Koro - gold champagne with green undertones (S)
Chaga - golden bronze with gold reflects (S)
Kuba - metallic dark emerald green with green reflects (S)
Ashanti - sultry russet tawny brown (M)
Kurla - bright rusty orange copper (S)
San - seaweed forest green (M)

The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented and blend effortlessly. It is cruelty-free and vegan.

This palette is gorgeous! The packaging and overall aesthetic is stunning. All of the shades are extremely pigmented, soft and blend beautifully. I still recommend using a primer for longevity and intensity. The shimmery shades are best applied using a finger or a synthetic dense eyeshadow brush. Not one of the shades is bad. My favourites are Tutsi and Koro. This is one of the most cohesive colour stories that I have seen from Juvia’s Place. Usually, they have stunning bright shades, but it is hard for me to create looks if some of the shades are not from the same colour group. My favourite look I created with this palette was with Maasai and Tutsi in the crease, Kuba on the eyelid, Chaga on the inner eyelid, Tutsi on the lower lash line with a bit of San and then Koro in the inner corner of the eye for highlighting. I cannot recommend this palette enough. I have my eye on a couple more JP’s palettes, but the colour stories may be too adventurous for me, but we will see.

The only strange thing was that this palette was first available on BeautyBay.com for £30.00, but as of 15th March 2020; it is now saying £19.50! I’m not sure if this means it is on sale or that they have now changed the retail prices, but there is no ‘discount sale’ notice anywhere on the product page!!

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...

Serial Sampler #42

I have wanted to try this fragrance for a very long time and I have seen the advertisements with Charlize Theron countless times over the years. For some reason, I just didn’t look for it to test so I thought it was about time I did. I decided to purchase a sample online.   It is J’adore by Christian Dior and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ J’adore’s original composition is a sophisticated harmony blossoming from Comoro Islands Ylang-Ylang and Damascus Rose Essences and Jasmine Sambac Absolute. ” Launched: 1999   Type: Floral Fruity / Feminine Notes Top: Pear, Melon, Magnolia, Peach, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot. Middle: Jasmine, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Tuberose, Freesia, Rose, Orchid, Plum and Violet. Base: Musk, Vanilla, Blackberry and Cedar. My assumption before testing this fragrance is that it would smell like an old classic (old lady) floral. It is very floral, but you do get the hit of the fresh fruity notes. I can mostly detect the Magnoli...
