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.

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...
