This is the newest Juvia’s Place Palette I have tried. I’m not going to lie; it was the packaging design that sold me. The packaging for the palettes is always stunning and always reels you in before the colour story does! It appears that BeautyBay.com no longer stock this brand, but it looks like there will be a Juvia’s Place UK website at some point this year.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is square shaped cardboard with bright blue, purple and pink colouring and a beautiful African woman design on the front. It has a magnetic closing and when the lid is lifted it reveals the nine eyeshadow pans on a bright sky blue background. The eyeshadow pans are very large circles and the shade names are written in white under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 3.6g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·         Highly Pigmented ·         Vegan ·    ...

I had wanted to try these lipsticks for a very long time, but I was sceptical as I had heard mixed reviews. Some people love them, some people dislike them. I had also heard that they are very hard to remove, which leads me to believe that the staying power must be there. My current favourite liquid lipsticks are still the JSC Velour ones and nothing else I have tried has topped them yet, a couple of brands have come close though! ABOUT THE PRODUCTS The packaging of the lipsticks is simple, but aesthetically pleasing; I like the blue accent caps. It is made out of plastic and there is something inside the tube to make the formula looked twisted in the tube, which is a nice detail that I haven’t seen before. The applicator is a little pear shaped sponge with a little well in the middle to hold the product. The packaging of the remover is also pretty simple and cute. The container is made of lightweight plastic and you could easily repurpose it once you have used up the wipes. You get 3...

I have another perfume sampler today. I can’t remember how I got the sample or how long I’ve had it, but I thought it was about time to give it a whiff!   It is BonBon by Viktor & Rolf and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. Launched: 2014   Type: Floral & Fruity Notes Top: Peach, Mandarin Orange and Orange. Middle: Caramel, Orange Blossom and Jasmine. Base: Amber, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood and Cedar. This is a delicate scent and I definitely get the floral and fruity notes. I can mostly smell the orange blossom, jasmine and amber, with a slight hint of caramel. It smells quite strong when you first spray it and then it tones down a bit. It is a nice scent, but it isn’t unique. I was expecting it to smell a little bit sweeter. I would wear it, but I won’t be purchasing a bottle any time soon.   You can purchase the Viktor & Rolf BonBon Eau De Parfum in 30ml (£56.00), 50ml (£78.00) and 90ml (£110.00) from Boots.com . ...

I have had this palette a little while now and I still remember how badly I wanted this palette before it was available in the UK. As soon as it was announced that BeautyBay.com were going to stock Melt Cosmetics, I eagerly waited for this palette. I missed the first batch that was launched, but managed to get one from the second round. My first one arrived broken (see photo below) and I was sent a replacement, which arrived in great condition. The eyeshadow formula is quite fragile, so whenever I order a Melt Cosmetics Palette I always worry about them arriving broken. Ironically, the broken eyeshadow looked like crushed up Cannabis! THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite a long rectangular shape and it is made out of cardboard. It has a metallic green background with silver Cannabis plants printed across it. The writing is in a silver font. It has a magnetic closing and once lifted; it reveals the eight rounded rectangular eyeshadow pans on a matte black background with the shade names...

I thought I would do an updated version of my current favourite songs post. If you read my last post then you know that I don’t really keep up-to-date with music, I tend to hear most songs long after they were first released, hence why some of my current favourites are years old! I posted my first version of this post on 21 st April 2020, I will put a ‘♥’ next to any songs that were my favourites last time and still are currently. All songs are listed in no particular order.   SINGLES Marina - True (2019) Calum Scott (ft. Leona Lewis) - You Are The Reason (2018) Hidden Citizens (ft. Rayelle) - Warrior (2020) Megan Thee Stallion - Body (2020) Megan Thee Stallion (ft. Young Thug) - Don’t Stop (2020) Cardi B (ft. Megan Thee Stallion) - WAP (2020) Sia - Big Girls Cry (2014) Little Mix - Sweet Melody (2020) Ava Max - My Head & My Heart (2020) Madilyn Bailey & Lia Marie Johnson - Dark Horse (2015) Alan Walker (ft.

I have always wanted to try out these eyeliners, but I was put off by the applicators as I wasn’t good at applying liquid eyeliners with those types of applicators, I prefer liquid eyeliner pens. I finally gave in and purchased three shades as I heard nothing but good reviews about them. ABOUT THE PRODUCT You get 7.5ml glitter gel inside a cylindrical tube with a thin tipped brush applicator. ·          Hardcore & Intense Sparkle ·          Gel Formula (won’t separate in tube) ·          Wear alone or layer over eyeshadow/other eyeliners ·          Precise Thin Tipped Brush ·          Contains; Peach, Cucumber & Carrot Extracts ·          Vegan ·          Cruelty-Free   THE SHADES & SWATCHES Vol...

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...
