Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:-

TURQUOISE SUMMER
This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5.

BORN IN PARADISE
This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelon, guava, coconut milk, pineapple, sandalwood, cedar and musk. It smells like sparkling vanilla. It is a soft scent, but it will linger for a while on your skin. It is a nice scent and you can actually smell the notes (vanilla & coconut), but I wouldn’t go out and buy a full bottle of it! I rate this scent 3/5.
CHERRY IN THE AIR
This bottle is pink/clear themed and has the following notes; sour cherry, raspberry, mandarin, marshmallow, gardenia, orchid, vanilla, sandalwood, oak, musk and white suede. It smells amazing! You can really detect that sour cherry and the other notes really compliment it. It is quite a strong scent, so it will last ages on your skin. I really love this scent and there is a possibly that I will buy a full bottle of it very soon! I give this delicious smelling scent a 5/5!

TAJ SUNSET
This bottle is orange/yellow themed with mango, nectarine, blood orange, lotus, water lily, raspberry, star apple, musk, sandalwood and coconut as it’s notes. It smells strongly of mango and sandalwood. As it is a strong scent, it will last and linger on your skin. It does smell nice, but I find it too much. I think there’s an orange fruit overload and I personally don’t think woody notes complement those sorts of fruits! It smells ok, but I wouldn’t buy a full bottle. I rate it 4/5.

Overall I have enjoyed testing these little scent potions. My favourite has to be Cherry In The Air, it smells absolutely amazing and so far I have managed to refrain from buying a full size bottle of it. The scent I least liked was Turquoise Summer, which I am quite disappointed by. All the notes scream out to me, but it just doesn’t smell like any of them!

BECCA X Barbie Ferreira Prismatica Light Essentials Kit

I bought this set because the highlighters are mini and the packaging is purple. I have previously tried Champagne Pop (limited edition bronze glitter packaging) and I decluttered it last year. I remember not really getting the hype around it. I wanted to try the formula again in different shades and what is more perfect than minis for trying something out? The whole BECCA Prismatica Collection is in collaboration with Barbie Ferreira, who I believe is an American Actress/Model. I had never heard of her before and only looked her up for the purpose of this post. There was a Face Palette, Essentials Kit and Cheek Lip Duo Set. I believe the collection has now sold out, but the highlighters are still available as singles in the regular BECCA packaging. ABOUT THE PRODUCT The packaging is sleek, round and compact. The colour of the packaging for this collection is described as prismatic lilac. There is also a mini mirror inside the compact. This set originally retailed for £30.00 and it has...

L'ORÉAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture Mascara

I bought this mascara and while ago with the intentions of reviewing it, but I only wear mascara when I wear eyeshadow, which is not very often these days. It has taken me a while to get around to trying out this mascara. The packaging is made of purple and gold plastic and it has a sort of tapered oval shape. The brush is small and made of rubber. It has longer bristles towards the bottom and shorter bristles at the top. The formula is creamy and kind of thick, but it does feel lightweight on your lashes. You get 9.5ml of product in the tube and the shade is Noir/Black. You can buy it for £10.99 from places such as Boots (UK), Superdrug (UK) and Ulta (USA). It is supposed to give your lashes definition and volume without making them clumpy or feeling stiff. The couture brush should coat every lash without clumps and it has small soft bristles, which should reach each lash and evenly spread the mascara. There’s nothing special about the packaging it is just a nice masc...

Haul: Small Unmentioned Purchases

For today’s post I am going to share with you a few products that I have recently purchased and have not mentioned. I actually purchased one of the products last year but I thought I would include it anyway because I have not mentioned it before. The product I bought last year was from Asda and it is the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream/Gel Eyeshadow in Pink Gold . I bought it for £4.99 and I got it because I thought it was limited edition but as it turned out it is actually permanent. It is a gorgeous colour! Now for the products I have bought recently this year. The Urban Decay Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette  for £35 from BeautyBay.com. I have used this palette a few times and I really like it. From Superdrug I picked up a Maybelline theROCKET Volum’Express Mascara  in the shade Black because I was interested in trying it and I got it for £5.99 because it had a £2 off offer. From Home Bargains I picked up another can of the TRESemmé Extra Hold...
