Review: Stila Cheek Duo in Strawberry Cream Pop

I happened to come across an internet advert with this product picture on and it sold me straight away! I was suckered in by the packaging once again (aren’t all of us?)! There were two shades and I chose the lighter pink with a more neutral bronze.
The packaging is in the old Stila cardboard style, which has been re-promoted for their twenty year anniversary. It has a circular shape and the design is pink and white carnival stall themed with ice lollies surrounding the Stila brand name. When you remove the lid, it reveals two semi-circle pans with the two powder shades in. You can use any brushes you like to apply the products and the formula is very pigmented, soft and powdery. You get 7.4g of product altogether and the shade Strawberry Cream Pop has a light shimmery bronze shade and a light Barbie pink shade.
This duo is supposed to give you a natural glow with a pop of pink. The formula should be soft, powdery and blend like a dream.
The packaging is lovely and the main reason for me purchasing this product! The lid is not as secure as I would like, as it slips off and you would have to be careful of putting the product inside your handbag/make-up bag. The product itself is soft and it is quite powdery, which is fine for me, but I know some people aren’t as keen. It does blend quite well, but I find it is not as pigmented when you apply it with a brush (depending on which brush you use). The bronzer shade is very shimmery and not your typical bronzer shade, but it does still give your cheeks a natural glow. The pink blush is beautiful and it just adds that natural flush to your cheeks. Both powders do last a while on your skin, near enough all day, but the blush does last a little longer as it is the most pigmented of the two shades.

Overall this is a really lovely powder cheek duo and I’m glad I own it. I probably wouldn’t re-purchase it though because I am really into the bronzer/blush blends like the Miners one I own.

Perfume Power! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry...

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat...

Perfume Power! - Avon 'Femme'

I recently started looking at the Avon catalogues again and I saw this perfume had a test circle. Whenever I see the test circles, I just have to rub them! I tested this perfume and I instantly wanted it, plus it was on offer with the matching body spray and lotion. The bottle is clear glass and is inspired by diamonds. The cap is clear plastic and is a squared diamond shape. It has a regular perfume spritzer, which is silver to blend in with the clear cut look. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Pink Grapefruit, Plum & Violet Middle Notes: Jasmine, Wild Orchid & Magnolia Base Notes: Amber, Peach, Wood & Musk I really like the bottle because it is beautifully simple and you can see how much liquid you have left. The cap is not very secure though because it just sits on top of the spritzer, which means it can easy fall off in your bag. The spritzer is very easy to use and it distributes the perfume evenly in a concentrated mist. The scent I would say...
