Blogmas #7 | Benefit Ultra Plush Lipgloss in Dandelion

I got this lipgloss in the Benefit Luv It Up! Gift Set and it is sample sized. It is the first lip product I have tried from Benefit and I am not actually keen on lipgloss in the first place.

I have the sample size so the packaging is the same as the full sized ones, just smaller. It is a pink plastic squeeze tube with the Dandelion graphic and typography on the front. It has a silver cap and when you twist it off, it reveals a slanted applicator with a small hole to allow the gloss to dispense when squeezed. Because the applicator is slightly slanted, it should make it easier to apply. The formula looks quite thick when first dispensed, but when it has been blended it looks very thin and feels smooth. It also has a slight floral scent. You get 6.5ml in the sample size, but full size is 15ml. Dandelion is a soft pearly pink shade and it is inspired by Dandelion the boxed powder (blush).

This product is mean’t to glide onto your lips really smooth and feel silky and luxurious. And the soft-squeeze tubes should enable easier and more even application.

It is not a bad lipgloss! The shade is really nice and natural and the formula is silky smooth and glossy. It glides onto your lips really well and it makes them feel luxurious. It is also very easy to dispense and the slanted applicator does allow for a more even application. It is not sticky at all and it can last up to two hours on your lips without refreshments. The only thing that I’m not keen on is the lack of pigmentation, but the blush version is a light shade anyway and a couple of the other shades I’ve seen (Coralista) look amazing when swatched. If I got a brighter colour, the pigmentation would have been more.

Overall it is a great lipgloss and more like the type of lipgloss that would interest me. I am still not convinced over liquid lipgloss, but this is a step in the right direction. I would not purchase it myself because I don’t think I would get much use out of it. But now I have it, I am likely to use it a bit because it is great.

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price · Released in 2007 (12 years ago). · Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. · Classed as a floral scent. · ...

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’. It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020 Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...
