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!

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

I decided to buy these and give them ago after hearing good things about them online, there is also a great shade selection. My current favourite lipsticks are the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and I wanted to see how these DOC ones would compare. Old Flame - warm rusty orange Camp Fire - burnt sienna These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan. My First Impressions The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind ...
