Review: Love, Words & Puzzles

Today I am going to review two Impulse scents that I haven’t previously tried before. I had seen these when they first came out, but decided I wasn’t really interested in them! I happened to be shopping one day and saw them and just decided to pick them both up to try out. They also sound like they are part of the same line, so I thought it would be a good idea for me to review them in one post.

Loving Words

The can design I have is a kind of jade colour, which is the main base colour. Underneath the logo there are a lot of different coloured words making up a heart. All the permanent scents have since had their cans re-designed. This can is now white based with a jade green bottom design with lilac flowers. The new design is very girly and it is nice, but not as eye-catching as the design of the can I currently have! You get 75ml of product in the can.

The fragrance notes are:-

Violet & Raspberry

This scent smells really fruity, florally, sexy and fresh. The raspberry is definitely the dominating note. The violet does tone down the raspberry quite a bit and it is kind of woodsy. The scent makes me think of a tropical ocean. This does smell really nice and it is kind of masculine compared to Love Puzzle. This probably won’t last all day, but because it is one of the stronger scents it should stick around a while.

This is a really great scent and would definitely re-purchase it.

IMPULSE BODY SPRAY IN LOVING WORDS

Price - £1.99 Rating - 5/5

Recommend - Yes Re-Purchase - Yes

Available at - Superdrug, Boots

Love Puzzle

This can design is white based with a lot of different coloured words making up a heart shape around the logo. You get 75ml of product in the can.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Pear, Plum, Apricot & Mango

Middle Notes: Peony, Lilac & Violet

Base Notes: Blackberry, Musk, White Amber & Sandalwood

This scent smells really fruity, florally light and fresh. I can really smell the fruit notes and the peony. It smells gorgeous! This scent probably won’t last all day, but Impulse scents in general do last quite a long time. From experience, the stronger it smells when you spray it, the longer it lasts on your skin. This has a softer scent than Loving Words and is slightly more beach and summer smelling, but they really do smell completely different!

This scent was Limited Edition for Summer 2012, so you’ll be lucky if you manage to find a can. It is definitely now one of my favourites, I’m just sad it took me so long to try it because I may not be able to re-purchase it!

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment. THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...
