Natasha Denona Cranberry Palette

This palette has been around for ages and I always loved the look of it. I finally decided to pick it up. I did use a £5.00 off voucher on my order.
The packaging is made of plastic and it has a long and thin rectangular shape. The base is white and the lid is clear, so that you can see the eyeshadows. It has the logo in white font printed on the bottom right corner. The lid just lifts up to reveal the shades. The pins that attach the lid to the base are tightened, which gives you a pressure opening/closing, instead of having a magnet or clip. You can purchase it for £41.00 ($48.00) from NatashaDenona.com or FeelUnique.com.

You get five 2.5g eyeshadows in Semi Matte (SM), Satin (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.
Swatch Stencil: Stripes 7 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk
DAISY - medium pink with warm undertones and glitters (ME)
SAKURA - medium red with warm undertones (SM)
BOTANIC - duo-chrome medium orange with yellow undertones (ME)
BLOSSOM - rich berry with cool undertones (S)
NUDE - golden peach with warm undertones and sparkles (ME)

These eyeshadows should be soft and buttery, blend seamlessly, and be long lasting and ultra-pigmented. The palette is cruelty free, but not vegan as some of the shades contain Carmine.

The packaging is simple and clean cut, but I wish the opening/closing was different. It doesn’t quite feel secure enough and after a lot of use, the pins could become loose and there would be less pressure on the opening/closing, which means the lid could just flap about. The colour story is very attractive to me. The eyeshadows are very pigmented and Sakura does blend very nicely, but Blossom is a little patchy. The metallic shades are stunning and they are my favourites of the palette. I would recommend eye primer and glitter glue. You can use the metallic eyeshadows wet for a more intense look. You can also apply them with your finger or a stiff flat synthetic brush. There is obviously a little kick-back in the eyeshadows pans, but I didn’t notice any fallout. I did enjoy this palette, but there are only so many looks you can do as there are only two sort of matte shades and one of them is patchy. I kind of wish Natasha Denona would release a Cranberry Mini Palette (15 shades). That way you would get this colour story and I would include these metallic shades, but just do better with choosing mattes and include more of them. I think her bigger palettes are probably better quality than these five shade ones. It is a nice palette, but I would save your money and get a mini palette (15 shades) instead. New colour themes of them will be added over time, which I cannot wait for!

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
