Perfume Power! - Justin Bieber 'Girlfriend'

I had wanted to purchase this perfume for years, ever since I had a sample of it. I held off buying it because I am not or never was a Justin Bieber fan and I thought it would be a little embarrassing to own something of his. Now I am a bit older, I don’t really care because I love smelling lovely and I remembered this scent being very lovely.
The bottle itself it made out of purple glass and it is heart shaped and quite long and narrow. The bottle is encased inside a pink and purple springy plastic sort of case. I’m not really sure how to describe the casing. You are able to remove the bottle from the casing. The casing comes in two parts (cap and cup) which fit together by two weak magnets. I think the bottle design is supposed to represent a real heart. The purple bottle would be the heart and the casing would be your rib cage. It has a regular button press spritzer to dispense the scent. It is available in 30ml (£20), 50ml (£29.00) and 100ml (£40.00). I’m not too sure if you can actually buy it anymore. For those of you that live in the UK, it can still be purchased from AllBeauty.com at a discounted price.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Blackberry, Big Strawberry & Pear
Middle Notes: Pink Freesia, Star Jasmine, Apricot & Orange Blossom
Base Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Musk & White Amber

The bottle design is ok, but the casing is ridiculous! I thought the casing would just be a nice 3D design stuck onto the bottle, but no. The casing is pointless. The bottle doesn’t fit snug inside the casing, so it wobbles about. The magnets that hold the cap casing onto the bottom cup casing are very weak, so they easily part and wouldn’t be good for travelling. The casing just makes the product as a whole unnecessarily large. I have actually thrown the casing away, it just bugs me that there is not a separate small cap for the spritzer. The scent is not original or unique. It actually reminds me of the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume, which I already own and love. The scent is very nice, fruity and fresh. You can really smell the floral and orange notes. It does last for a long time on the skin and it isn’t over powering, so you don’t have to worry about spraying too much. I would recommend this perfume if you like Viva La Juicy, but want a more affordable and juvenile design option. I most likely won’t re-purchase this perfume as I already own Viva La Juicy and they both smell the same to me on my skin. I would be more likely to re-purchase the Juicy Couture one regardless of the price because I prefer their bottle design and it does smell nicer and slightly deeper. On a whole, I think Girlfriend is supposed to attract the younger Justin Bieber fans, but although the design is a little juvenile, the scent isn’t and will complement anyone who wears it.

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

Anastasia Beverly Hills X Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

This palette became a cult favourite in the beauty sphere when it was first released as a limited edition product in collaboration with Nicole Guerriero (Beauty Influencer on YouTube), and there have been many calls to bring it back. In 2020, Anastasia Beverly Hills finally listened after three long years! I only actually heard about this palette after it had completely sold out and was no longer available. I must have been living under a rock at some point during 2017, because I completely missed this product! I am glad I finally got the chance to get my hands on this palette and I have heard nothing but raving reviews. There are six metallic highlighter shades, which should be highly luminous. They have a refined formula that should deliver buildable coverage with a smooth finish. The shades were created to flatter all skin tones and they can be applied anywhere on the face, eyes, lips and body. The palette is cruelty-free and vegan. You can purchase the palette for £42.00 (...
