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.

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.

BY BEAUTY BAY New Romantic Palette

I first saw the tease post of this palette on Beauty Bay’s Instagram page on 29 th January and it was a black and white photo, so you couldn’t see the colour story but some of the shades names were a little bit of a giveaway to some possible shades (Raspberry, Flamingo and Khaki etc). On the 31 st January, they posted another tease photo of the shade Queen and this really when the colour story was confirmed. The full reveal post was on 1 st February, the same day as the palette launched. I bought it on launch day; I half expected it to already be sold out, but luckily for me it wasn’t. The formula of the eyeshadows looked like in the NikkieTutorials Palette, which I hoped the shimmers would be as they are stunning. Beauty Bay also had two other palettes that are the same sort of concept; Sunset Horizons and Book of Magic (discontinued). I decided not to purchase these two as I wasn’t completely sold on the colour stories for the usage I would personally get out of them, but they did...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...
