THE SHADE & SWATCH
532 - beige bronze (metallic)
 
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I’ve heard of this brand before, but I hadn’t tried any products from them. The packaging has quite a bit of weight to it and it has a nice simple design. The colour is beautiful and universally neutral. The formula has a sort of paste consistency. I am yet to try it on my eyes but when I applied it to my wrist for the swatch photo, it dried down very quickly and when I rubbed my finger over the swatch, it didn’t move and my finger came up clean. This means there is hope for the twenty-four hour wear claim. I don’t really wear cream eyeshadows as I do find all of them crease on me, but I am interested in trying this one and seeing if it is different. It did take me a few rubs with a wet cloth to remove the swatch too.
 
You can purchase the 3ina The Cream Eyeshadow in 532 for £14.95 ($20.00) from 3ina.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...
