NABLA Coral Cutie Palette

I have always wanted to purchase a NABLA palette, but I was never sure of which one I wanted. I recently watched a NikkieTutorials video and she used this palette and I felt in love with it. It is smaller than the usual palettes that NABLA do.
The packaging is quite small and compact. It is made out of cardboard and it has a little weight to it. It has a lovely pink and coral design on the front, it almost looks like clouds, but it is mean’t to represent sea coral. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the inside of the palette. On the underside of the lid, there is a small mirror and the other side has six decently sized square eyeshadow pans. The pans are bigger than the ones in the larger NABLA eyeshadow palettes. The inside of the palette is nude pink and the shade names are printed in brown font. It is available for £21.00 ($24.00) from NablaCosmetics.com, Morphe.com and BeautyBay.com.
You get six 1.41g eyeshadows in Super Matte (SM), Metal Foil (MF), Fluid Metal (FM), Celestial (C) and Satin (S) finishes.

 I Got You - magenta and coral duo-chrome (MF)
Red Shape - coppery fire red (S)
Anyway - deep espresso brown (SM)
Mandarin - pink-orange duo-chrome (C)
Feelings - coral pink (SM)
Coral Amber - coral amber with bronze reflects (FM)

The eyeshadows should be intensively pigmented and blend easily. The palette is vegan and cruelty free.

I am amazed to say that the super mattes are indeed super! It is the best matte formula I have experienced for a while, but there are only two of them. All of the shades feel buttery and soft and they swatch quite well. They can be a little dusty (kick back in pans), especially the mattes but they are extremely pigmented and finely milled, so it is expected a little. I didn’t notice any fall out on my face though. I do recommend that you use a primer/base and you shouldn’t pre-set the base as it will set as you apply the eyeshadows anyway. They are easy to blend and I find that the shades that are not matte are better applied with your finger and are more intense when wet. The only shade that I find disappointing is Mandarin, but only because I do not like formulas like the Celestial formula. These types of formulas look amazing and foiled in the pan, but it is like shiny grease on your finger. There isn’t really much colour pay off, but there is plenty of glitter. I managed to get the colour to show in my swatches, but it doesn’t really transfer to your eye. I hate it when brands use this type of formula in palettes, what’s wrong with your standard metallic foil formula? Also, the shade Red Shape loses it's red intensity a little throughout the day. Overall, I am impressed with this palette and all of the shades are beautiful. I would definitely recommend it and I am now looking a purchasing one of the full sized NABLA palettes.

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!

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.

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.
