HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette

I currently own all four of the big HUDA BEAUTY palettes, and I fell for the colour story of this one as soon as I saw it. The designs for the bigger palettes always look stunning!

THE PACKAGING

The packaging is quite simple and made of nude pink cardboard, but it has Huda’s face on the front. Huda’s eyes are closed and it looks like she is wearing a fascinator, which is covering part of her face. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and square eyeshadow pans.

THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA

You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 19.7g in Matte (M), Reflective (R), Glitter (G), Pressed Pearl (PP) and Cream Base (CB) finishes.

·        Insane Pigmentation

·        Flatter any skin tone

·        Cruelty-Free

The following shades contain Plastic Glitter Particles; Excite and Infatuated. These shades are not intended for use around the immediate eye area as they can cause damage/blinding to your eyes.

 

MY THOUGHTS

·        Primer/Base - The eyeshadows are pigmented enough without a primer or base, but I would always layer one down. I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Too Faced Glitter Glue.

·        Pigmentation - The pigmentation is ok, but building is required with some of the matte shades. The metallics are ok and the glitters are not bad when applied over glitter glue. I wouldn’t say the pigmentation is insane, like it is advertised to be!

·        Application (wet/dry) - The eyeshadows can be applied wet or dry. I always use mattes dry, unless I am applying them to my lower lash line or using them as eyeliner. The cream/metallics/glitters are best applied with your finger, wet or dry.

·        Blending - The mattes blend ok, but a lot of the colours look the same when blended out.

·        Kick-Back - Obviously, there is always going to be kick-back in your eyeshadow pans as you are disturbing powders. The kick-back was not a concern or issue for me in this particular palette.

·        Fallout - I didn’t notice any fallout with the cream, matte or metalli shades, but you will get slight fallout with the two glitters. A very tacky glitter glue is a necessity!

 

I was so excited to try out this palette, but I was left slightly disappointed by it. The shades are very light and mauvy toned and all look the same when blended out. The pigmentation is just above average, but blending was effortless. I’m not sure if the shades really flatter any skin tone as Lace and Secret were too light for me and barely showed up. You do have to build up the lighter matte shades quite a bit too. I really don’t get the cream base shade. It is very thin and sheer, but it can work as a base but I wouldn’t trust it without primer anyway. The metallic sort of shades were just not metallic enough. They look kind of magical and molten in the pans, but this definitely does not transfer to the eyes. I’m not overly keen on pressed glitters and I have tried better and more inexpensive pressed glitters before. I really dislike when brands overly mix up formulas in one palette. My favourite shade is Daydream. Overall, this palette is great for a natural look, but it just isn’t my vibe!

 

You can purchase the HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette for £56.00 ($65.00) from HudaBeauty.com.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

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...

Perfume Power! - Katie Price 'Stunning'

I received this perfume as a present for my 17 th birthday. The bottle design is very simple and feminine. It is diamond inspired, with a diamond shaped cap and the bottle is a classic Hollywood style shape. There is also a silver coloured plastic band around the neck of the bottle, which displays the perfume name, as well as Katie’s name. The fragrance notes are:- Mandarin, Jasmine, Patchouli & other unknown notes, possibly floral! To me it smells fruity and floral, with a hint of musk. I can smell the mandarin, which I think gives the scent an oriental feel. It is slightly a mature scent, which still smells young and fresh, so it appeals to women of all ages. I couldn’t find a list of the full notes, but if you were to smell it, you may be able to pick certain notes out. It also lasts quite a while on your skin. Next also have a perfume called Diamonds , which is almost identical, if you have good ‘scent detectors’, you will notice that there is a slight d...
