Anastasia Beverly Hills X Jackie Aina Palette

This palette is in collaboration with Jackie Aina, who is a Beauty Influencer on YouTube. It is mean’t to be limited edition, but it has been out almost a year now and it is still for sale. I feel like it didn’t quite get it’s full moment and time to shine as the Carli Bybel (also a Beauty Influencer on YouTube) collaboration palette was released not long after. Up until the pandemic hit, Anastasia Beverly Hills were known for quickly putting out new products with little time left in between new launches. Nevertheless, this palette does look beautiful.
The packaging is the usual ABH slim rectangle shape and it is made out of metallic faux leather and has a crocodile scale print. The base of the print is a kind of nude shade and it reflects green, blue, pink, yellow, orange and purple. Almost like a duo-chrome eyeshadow. It has a magnetic closing which you lift up to reveal the inside. The inside has a black base containing the small square eyeshadow pans, the shade names are written in gold underneath each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid.  It is a limited edition product available for £46.00 ($45.00) from AnastasiaBeverlyHills.co.uk, AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com and BeautyBay.com.

You get fourteen 0.7g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

The following shades are Pressed Pigments and are not intended for use around the immediate eye area; Supreme, Pinker and Big Wig. Pressed pigments can cause temporary staining to the area of skin they are applied to.

You also get a dual ended eyeshadow brush; A12 Small Contour Brush and A3 Firm Shader Brush.

There are not really any claims for this palette, but I am expecting the shades to be vibrant and extremely pigmented. I am also expecting them to blend easily. There should be some kick back in the eyeshadow pans, but I am not expecting lots of fallout on my face. The palette is cruelty-free, but not vegan (contains Carmine).
This palette is amazing quality and I love the packaging. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, blend easily and seamlessly and are long wearing. I always recommend using a sticky base/eye primer to enhance the eyeshadows. I didn’t really notice any staining from the pressed pigment shades; this may be down to using a base. You will always get kick-back in the eyeshadow pans, mostly from the matte shades and it can seem like a lot. I only got a little fall-out from the metallic shades, especially the shade Zamn, which I wasn’t expecting from the first use of it. I recommend applying glitter glue before using Zamn, as it has more of a cream and glitter texture and you really want it to stick to your eye and the other metallic shades will pop more if used wet. I find using a stiff flat synthetic brush or your finger is the best way to apply the metallic shades.

My favourite shades are Zamn and Trust Issues. Zamn is absolutely stunning and very reflective and Trust Issues looks like a frosty white in the pan but on the eye it is a beautiful sort of duo-chrome gold and it is the perfect inner corner highlight shade. There are no downsides for me with this palette, but some people would miss the fact that there isn’t a light matte shade to set your base with or use under the brow bone. I never set my eye base and I can always use a different eyeshadow for under my brow if Trust Issues looks too intense there.  

This is without a doubt, the best ABH palette I’ve used so far! I have previously owned the Couture World Traveller, Norvina and Modern Renaissance Palettes and I currently have the Riviera Palette and this palette beats all of those! I would still really like to try the Carli Bybel and Amrezy Collaboration Palettes, but I think I will hold off for now. I am also interested in the ABH Norvina Volume 4 Palette, but I believe the formula is mean’t to be different and it is extremely expensive!! Overall I am so glad that I decided to pick up the Jackie Aina Palette and I 100% recommend it.

Perfume Power! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry...

Perfume Power! - Soap & Glory™ 'Eau De Soap & Glory'

I bought this because I already had the first Soap & Glory perfume and I really loved the Mist You Madly line scent. The bottle is cuboid shaped and made of opaque black glass. It has a regular perfume spritzer and the cap is clear plastic and T shaped with a pink woollen sash wrapped around the base. On the front of the bottle there is a pink foiled sticker with the Soap & Glory logo. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Cassis, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla & Musk This perfume is a strong florally and musky scent. It is quite sweet, but not overpowering. The bottle is also a classic design, so you can re-use as decoration if you peel the sticker off the front. It is the Formula 2 scent, which is what some of Soap & Glory products smell like (The Daily Smooth, Clean Girls, Mist You Madly etc.). I can really smell the bergamot, freesia and musk. It has a sort of masculine smell and does last for a while on your skin. It is a must have if you love the Mist...
