Serial Sampler #25


I remembered smelling this fragrance a few years ago, when it was first released and I remember disliking it. I thought I would try it again to see if my opinion has changed as I know it is quite a popular scent.

It is Decadence by Marc Jacobs and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Plum, Iris, Saffron, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine Sambac, Orris, Amber, Vetiver and Papyrus.
 
It does smell quite strong and it is definitely a floral scent. It doesn’t smell how I remember and it’s hard to recall why I disliked it in the first place! I actually think it is a really nice scent. It is kind of soapy (in a good way) and fresh smelling and I can mostly detect the jasmine and amber notes. I would say it is more of a mature scent and it isn’t my typical scent, but I do quite like it. I’m not sure I would run and buy a bottle of it just yet though!

You can buy it in 30ml (£52), 50ml (£72) and 100ml (£98) and it is available at places such as; Boots, Superdrug and Sephora.

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...

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...
