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.

Impulsive Spraying....

Spray me, I’m Impulsive.... This is a review on canned body sprays I have tried and some I still have because I love them. I was initially going to just review the Impulse ones, but I decided to include the Wilko’s ones too as a less expensive option, plus I love one of them. Impulse Impulse is a perfume deodorant/body spray brand, which is part of the Unilever brand of products. It was first launched in 1972 in South Africa, but only launched in the UK in 1981. They have a wide range of scents compatible for all females of all ages. I have also tried Very Pink , but I used it up a while ago and didn’t want to re-purchase it just for this review, but it was a very nice scent, but not one I would re-purchase. I have also tested a Hint of Musk , when I was younger and I didn’t like it! I have also got two other one’s to try, which I will do a separate review on and they are Loving Words and Love Puzzle . True Love I first knew of this scent when I received it in a gift...

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow Duos

I have previously owned two Colourpop Super Shock Shadows (Sequin and Weenie) a few years ago and I remember not really liking them (I decluttered them in 2017). It was probably the shades I chose, but I don’t know if the formula has changed at all over the years. I decided to purchase two duos from two different collections and I received a third duo as a free gift. I know people tend to use the metallic and glitter ones as sort of toppers, so I decided to choose lighter shades so that they would pop more on the eyelids and inner corners.   ABOUT THE PRODUCT You get 2.1g of crème to powder eyeshadows in Matte (M), Ultra-Metallic (UM) and Ultra-Glitter (UG) finishes. They are housed inside little pots with a transparent twistable cap.   ·         Crème-Powder Formula ·         Bouncy Texture ·         Insane Pigmentation ·         Bold Met...
