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.

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...

LOOKFANTASTIC Advent Calendar 2020 | Unboxing - Day 2

This is the second day of my LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar for Christmas 2020 unboxing. Yesterday I unboxed the Natasha Denona Blush Glow Duo .   Today, I unboxed the LUXIE 522 Tapered Highlighter Brush .   ABOUT This is a full sized brush in the rose gold and chic pink theme worth £19.00.   ·         Soft ·         Synthetic Bristles ·         Cruelty-Free MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS I’ve tried LUXIE brushes in the past that I have received in beauty boxes and the bristles always seem to be of good quality. The overall design of this brush is very nice and the bristles are very soft, but still firm enough for decent application. It is slightly larger than the highlighter brushes I usually use, but it still blends over the cheekbones very nicely. You can also use it to apply powder on your face, it is sized perfectly for the under eye area. I am looking to purchase som...

Serial Sampler #34

I’ve had this sample for a while now and I’ve only just decided to test it. I also have another sample of a spin-off scent from the same fragrance line, which I will post soon.   It is Candy by PRADA and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ Prada Candy combines exceptionally high-quality ingredients in excessive proportions. Magnified by musks, noble benzoin comes together with a modern caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature ” Launched: 2011   Type: Oriental Vanilla Notes Top: Caramel. Middle: Musk and Powder. Base: Benzoin and Vanilla. I wasn’t expecting to like this fragrance when I looked at the notes and I was right! It smells kind of woody (burnt wood) and like celery. It is most definitely a spicy oriental scent and it is not me at all. It is quite strong, but it isn’t overpowering. I would say it is a unisex scent as it isn’t sweet. With a name like Candy, I was expecting some sweetness. There is the Caramel note whi...
