MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The last product is kind of anticlimactic, but I don’t really know what else I would have expected. I probably would have made the last day have the most expensive item. I got another tub of face cream, but it is quite different to the ELEMIS one. The ELEMIS cream was specifically for night-time use, but this one can be used at any time of day. It has quite a thin consistency and it smells kind of peppery (thyme). I can’t wait to start using it. I will probably starting using this one when I open the ELMEIS one, so I have a different one for morning as well as evening/night time. I’m not sure how effective this moisturiser will actually be as I never really notice anything vastly different when I try different moisturisers. I only notice that they moisturise, so it will be interesting to see how it compares to the price. It is less expensive than the ELEMIS one though.
 
I will be posting a sort of ‘round-up’ post tomorrow on my final thoughts of this calendar.

Perfume Power! - Vera Wang 'Rock Princess'

I received this perfume as a gift a couple of years ago, but I had heard about it before. The bottle design is the same as the previous Princess fragrances, but it has a rock twist. It has a darker theme, a black heart with silver patterns on the front. I actually really like the bottle design, that is what appealed to me the most, plus around the neck of the bottle you can remove the band and wear it as a ring. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Peach, Raspberry & Bergamot Middle Notes: Heliotrope, Rose, Jasmine & Lily Base Notes: Cashmere Wood, Musk, Iris & Coconut To me it doesn’t really smell of anything and what I can smell is very weak and watered down. It kind of smells a bit like sweet alcohol. Although it has quite a few fruits in it, I can’t really smell any of them; I can smell the floral scents and a hint of musk, but it is not overpowering and it doesn’t last long on the skin, unless you spray tons, but the fragrance is nothing special....

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
