LOOKFANTASTIC Advent Calendar 2020 | Unboxing - Day 1

This is the first day of my LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar for Christmas 2020 unboxing. I was very surprised that this was the first product, we are starting strong!
It is the Natasha Denona Blush Glow Duo.
 
ABOUT
This is the 4g mini size worth £16.00. It contains a 2g All Over Glow Face & Body Shimmer Powder and a 2g Blush Powder.
 
·        Cruelty-Free
THE SHADES & SWATCHES
#01 Light -
warm beige champagne
Golden Coral - warm pink with a champagne sheen
 
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The powders are quite sheer and natural. They both give you a nice natural glow. The highlighter is quite subtle, but it doesn’t leave a cast and it gives you a sort of glass like look effect. The blush gives you a delicate pink flush with a hint of shine. I believe the highlighter is available in a full sized compact and the blush is also available in a full sized duo compact with a different highlighter. I’m personally not into shimmery blushes and I prefer my highlighters to be a bit more intense. I would recommend this duo if you are just starting out in make-up or if you are more into a natural look.
 
You can purchase the Natasha Denona Blush Glow Duo for £16.00 ($19.00) from NatashaDenona.com.

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
