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.

Oden's Eye Norn’s Mesmerizer Highlighters

When I saw that Oden’s Eye posted on their Instagram page about their new Norn’s Series Collection, I knew I would be making my second purchase of their products. The collection as a whole includes four eyeshadow palettes and three highlighters. The palettes all looked beautiful, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of them and I didn’t just want to buy them to swatch and post about and then not use again. I did want to buy all three highlighters, but I settled on the two that I would get most use out of. The one I didn’t choose is a stunning blue and silver shade and I just knew I wouldn’t wear it as much as the other two. I already own a few other blue highlighters and I hardly ever wear them. I believe only the three highlighters are limited edition and the eyeshadow palettes are all permanent. ABOUT THE PRODUCT In Norse mythology, three sisters (Norn’s) weave and guard the web of fate. They also attend the spring of life that supports the World Tree. The highlighters reflect the ...

ZOEVA Rose Golden Palette

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...
