Serial Sampler #23

I have three perfume samples to share with you today. I bought them as a gift set so I could test them. I had already smelled one of the scents before and I remembered liking it, so I thought I would try the other two. They are not your regular sample vials; they are extremely cute mini perfume bottles!
They are Ari, Sweet Like Candy and Moonlight by Ariana Grande and they are 7.5ml mini dabber bottles of the eau de parfums.
ARI
This bottle is transparent clear glass.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Pear, Grapefruit, Raspberry, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Rose, Vanilla Orchid, Musk, Woody Notes and Marshmallow.

I had smelled this one before when it was first launched and I remembered liking it and I still do. It smells fresh, fruity and woody. You can really smell the raspberry, vanilla orchid and woody notes. I’m not sure I would re-purchase it though, even though it does remind me a little of Black Star by Avril Lavigne.

You can buy it in 30ml (£22/$42), 50ml (£30/$52) and 100ml (£41/$62) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Ulta.
SWEET LIKE CANDY
This bottle is an opaque shiny light pink colour glass.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Blackberry, Bergamot, Pear, Blackcurrant, Whipped Cream, Marshmallow, Jasmine, Frangipani, Honeysuckle, Vanilla and Cashmere Wood.

It smells very fruity and sweet. It reminds me of the perfume Purr by Katy Perry, so it definitely isn’t really an original scent. I really like it. You can really smell the blackberry, blackcurrant, jasmine and vanilla notes. It doesn’t smell like Ari, but they are both fresh and sparkly sort of scents. I was a fan of Purr, so I am a fan of this one too and would re-purchase it.

You can buy it in 30ml (£22/$42), 50ml (£30/$52) and 100ml (£41/$62) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Ulta.
MOONLIGHT
This bottle is a translucent pearly pink, purple and green colour glass.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Blackcurrant, Plum, Marshmallow, Peony, Amber, Sandalwood and Vanilla.

It smells light, soft and mostly floral. It reminds me of a creamy skincare scent. You can smell the plum, peony, sandalwood and vanilla. It doesn’t smell anything like Ari or Sweet Like Candy. I like it, but it isn’t my typical scent so I don’t think I would re-purchase it.

You can buy it in 30ml (£23/$42), 50ml (£31/$52) and 100ml (£41/$62) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Ulta.

BIG NEWS: Next Paradise IS BACK! ❤

As you may have noticed from the title I am excited! I actually found out on Christmas Eve but forgot to mention it to you, are you ready? NEXT PARADISE PERFUME IS BACK IN BUSINESS! ! ! ! I’m not sure when it was re-launched and I don’t know whether it was temporary for Christmas, but from what I can tell the website still have it in stock, so who knows. I just hope that it stays so I can re-purchase it again. On the website it shows the perfume in its re-branded state and I must say the bottle looks lovely and it is now £10 for 100ml, instead of the previous £12 for 100ml, so even more WOW!

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics X Shane Dawson Conspiracy Palette

I managed to get my hands on the new JSC x Shane Dawson palette on launch day! It took a few hours to complete the purchase online, but I didn’t give up. I have been following the journey of the creation of the whole collection on YouTube and everything is eye catching. I decided to only pick up the main palette this time; I usually buy at least one liquid lipstick from every JSC collection launch. Also available from the collection was the Mini Controversy Palette. I really love the shades Controversy and My Apology from the palette, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of the other shades, which is why I decided against purchasing it. There are also six velour liquid lipsticks (none of the shades appealed to me), pig mirrors, make-up bags/cases, clear version of the gloss and a lip balm. I believe the lip balm is only available in the USA. You can buy the products in bundles or buy the items separately. The packaging of the Conspiracy Palette slightly resembles the cas...
