MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I have heard of the brand before, but haven’t tried any of their products. I actually thought their products were more expensive than they actually are. The name REN just sounds boujee to me. This toner is recommended for daily use (morning/evening) after you have washed/cleansed your face. To apply it, you saturate a cotton pad and swipe across your clean face and neck (avoiding eye area). I already use a toner and I always choose a mist/spray product as it is easier and quicker to use. This REN product does interest me though. It also has a light lemon scent. I’m not overly interested in the promised glow, but some of the seven skin benefits are attractive to me so I will give this product a go once I’ve finished up my current one.

So far, I’ve noticed all of the products that I have unboxed from this calendar are red, pink or orange themed. I don’t know if this is on purpose. The little ribbon on the calendar that you use to pull open the door is pink and so is the base on the inside of the little numbered drawers, so I wonder if it is to tie that into the design.

You can purchase the REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic for £27.00 ($37.00) from RenSkincare.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, ...
