This is the first day of my LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar for Christmas 2020 unboxing. I was very surprised that this was the first product, we are starting strong! It is the Natasha Denona Blush Glow Duo .   ABOUT This is the 4g mini size worth £16.00. It contains a 2g All Over Glow Face & Body Shimmer Powder and a 2g Blush Powder.   ·         Cruelty-Free THE SHADES & SWATCHES #01 Light - warm beige champagne Golden Coral - warm pink with a champagne sheen   MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS The powders are quite sheer and natural. They both give you a nice natural glow. The highlighter is quite subtle, but it doesn’t leave a cast and it gives you a sort of glass like look effect. The blush gives you a delicate pink flush with a hint of shine. I believe the highlighter is available in a full sized compact and the blush is also available in a full sized duo compact with a different highlighter. I’m personally not into shimmery blush...

I have wanted this palette for ages and BeautyBay.com had been sold out of it for the longest time! When I finally received a re-stock e-mail and snapped it up straight away. I almost purchased it when it first launched, but I changed my mind. I just couldn’t pass it up again, the packaging is absolutely stunning!   THE POWDERS & FORMULA You get six 4.54g powders in Matte (M) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Matches every skin tone ·          Can be used on the eyes ·          Vegan ·          Cruelty-Free   THE SHADES & SWATCHES Swatch Stencil: Stripes 7 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Pink Moon - pale pink (M) Twilight - bright coral (M) Spacey - deep terracotta (M) Soleil - rose shimmer with gold reflect (S) Stargaze - dusty rose (M) Gravity - deep toned cinnamon (M)   MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS ...

I’ve wanted to try the highlighter Cookie from Benefit for ages, but always decided against purchasing a single of it as I always declutter the single boxed powders by Benefit, so I didn’t want to waste money again. Also, I have far too many single highlighters (OFRA ♥) as it is! I kept seeing Beauty Influencers on YouTube use this palette, so I decided to purchase it for myself. You get five full sized powders inside a cute compact palette. You also get a free face brush which also fits inside the palette and a Tips & Tricks Card. You can purchase it for £53.50 ($60.00) from BenefitCosmetics.com. There is also a mini version available of this palette (Cheek Stars Mini Reunion Tour Palette), which includes; Georgia, Sugarbomb and Hoola for £26.00 ($30.00). All five powders are also available in singles and mini/travel singles.

Last month’s box was the Sunkissed Edition and this month we have the Radiance Edition with a coral and pink box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £55.00 altogether and there are two variants of boxes available this month. I received Variant 1, which just has a couple of different products to the ones in Variant 2 (this is apparently due to high demand of subscribers). Here is what I received this month:- AHAVA Deadsea Water Mineral Body Lotion | 40ml - £8.00 | This body lotion is supposed to be deeply hydrating and fast absorbing. It is also supposed to soften and smoot your skin, leaving your skin feeling revitalised refreshed and restored. I have said many times before; I do not like body lotions! I received a body butter last month and haven’t used that, so I probably won’t use this one either. It sounds great, but it is just not something I would appreciate using. | Full Size: 250ml - £23.49 | PERCY & REED Perfectly Perfecting Wonderbalm ...

SWATCH PICTURE ABOVE: COPPERTONE - RED BRICK - CHROME YELLOW - RULE I thought I would share with you a few things I purchased from MAC recently. I got three Eyeshadow Pans in Chrome Yellow , Rule and Red Brick , a 15 Pan Pro-Palette Insert and a Powder Blush in Coppertone . Lastly, I also received a free sample of the In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash Mascara . I didn’t buy too much and I mostly made the purchases to get the three eyeshadows, plus I wanted a more neutral blush shade because I only really have corals and pinks in my collection. I plan on purchasing more cosmetics soon as I have recently got into face primers.

I have another Birchbox to share with you. I really like the watercolour design of this box. Here is what I received:- MANNA KADAR LONG-WEAR POWDER IN PARADISE | 3g - RRP £15.00 | There was a choice of two shades and I chose the shade Paradise, which is a very shimmery sort of cherry blossom pink shade. It is a blush which can also be used as an eyeshadow or highlighter. I chose the brightest one because I thought I might be able to use it in my crease, but I didn’t realise it would be shimmery or quite as bright as it is. I will hopefully figure out a way to use it on my eye, I most likely wouldn’t use it on my cheeks because of the shimmer and to be honest, the colour scares me a little! EYEKO FAT EYE STICK IN SATIN | 4g - RRP £12.00 | It is like a cool toned taupe shade and it is quite smooth to apply. It is not really a product that appeals to me. I have used various chubby eye sticks in the past and I just prefer potted cream eyeshadows. WHAT’S IN IT FOR M...

I went a little crazy last weekend and purchased quite a bit from FeelUnique! I buy stuff from there all of the time, but I don’t usually buy this much in one go. I accidentally made my first ever NARS purchase. It popped up on the homepage and I just clicked it. It is the NARS NARSISSIST Unfiltered 2 Cheek Palette . It has six shades of pink toned shades for your cheeks and I am very excited to test them out. Plus the packaging is so sleek! I got two Urban Decay Eyeshadows in Mildew and Maui Wowie . I picked up three products from NYX; NYX High Definition Eyeshadow Base and two NYX Slide On Pencils in Purple Blaze and Tropical Green . I also got The Vintage Cosmetic Company Slanted Tweezers in Rose Gold , because they are rose gold! Lastly, because I spent a certain amount of money I could get two free samples. I chose the Benefit they’re Real! Push-Up Liner and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bloom EDT . I can’t wait to start using everything. Hopefully, nothing too ap...

I have had this blush palette for a long time now, but I have only recently started to use it. I know it was released last year and I believe it was limited edition, but you can still find it for sale on the Too Faced website. The packaging is long, thin and sleek. It is made out of thick cardboard and rectangular shaped. It has a pretty heart design on the front and product information printed on the back. It has a magnetic closing and when you lift the lid it reveals a small narrow mirror and the product pans. You get six 2.0g blushes in heart shaped pans. Each shade is also available in a full sized single heart shaped compact. LOVE HANGOVER - light pink coral BABY LOVE - medium rosy pink I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - bright coral orange HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE? - medium pink coral JUSTIFY MY LOVE - bright bubblegum pink YOUR LOVE IS KING - medium rosy plum These blushes should be long wearing (16 hours+), fade-proof, smudge-proof and richly pigmented. ...

I have another MAC haul for you today. I’ve been naughty! I bought at bit more than I did last time and I did buy the items I have been looking at for a while. I mean’t to haul these products a couple of weeks ago, but I had a slight issue with my order. I was sent a Pro Longwear Blush in Whole Lotta Love instead of the Fluidline I ordered. I had to put a customer services report in and wait for a reply! I know mistakes can happen, but the blush was £5.50 more than the eyeliner I ordered and I was only charged the eyeliner price. I technically could have kept the blush and re-ordered the eyeliner, therefore saving £5.50 on the blush. The blush wasn’t the right shade for me anyway and I am an honest person. As it turned out, they sent me my Fluidline and they didn’t mention anything about me sending the blush back! I’m guessing they couldn’t re-sell it anyway because you can’t tell if it has been opened or not. Let’s get on to what I ordered:- I decided to buy two more Eyeshado...

I am reviewing this little gem today. I saw online a while ago that it would be released, but I wasn’t sure where it would be available in the UK. I was just browsing RosesBeautyStore, like I do most days, and saw this palette in the ‘new products’ section. I bought it straight away, no hesitation at all! This palette was put together by Hrush Achemyan, and she handpicked all of the shades so that they could complement any skin tone or eye colour. Hrush Achemyan is a self-taught make-up artist and has many celebrity followers. She also has her own brand, ‘Styled by Hrush’. She does a lot celebrities make-up for red carpet appearances, mostly the Kardashian girls, who I believe she is good friends with. The outer packaging for this palette is made of card and the actual packaging of the product is quite classy, but eye-catching. It kind of reminds me of a clutch bag/purse. It is quite small and is made of gold reflecting plastic, but the black pattern on the front has a...
