NEXT Paradise Wardrobe

I thought I would review a perfume set. One of the scents in the set is already known to me, but I was mostly interested in trialling the other two scents and seeing how they differ.

The bottles are small glass cuboids with silver plastic lids. They all have the regular perfume spritzer. Each one has a different colour theme; Blue (Escape), Pink (Paradise) and Green (Island). Each bottle holds 15ml of the eau de parfums.
Paradise Escape

Top Notes: Bergamot & Verbena
Base Notes: Musk & Sandalwood

This scent smells quite fresh and you definitely get the hint of musk, verbena and rose. It also kind of smells masculine, but not really noticeably. It does remind me of an ocean type scent.
 Paradise

Top Notes: Apple & Lemon
Middle Notes: Magnolia & Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Musk

I love this scent and I have for years. Next keep discontinuing this scent and then a couple years later, they bring it back. I got my first bottle when I was quite young and I have bought it on and off since then. Each time it is brought back, it has a new bottle and new theme, but the same classic scent. It smells really bright and fruity and you get the subtle floral notes. I can mostly detect the magnolia and apple with the sandalwood.
 Paradise Island

Top Notes: Mango & Guava
Middle Notes: Coconut Water & Pineapple
Base Notes: Sandalwood & Musk

This one smells quite fruity and you really get the hints of the coconut and pineapple. The coconut makes it smell slightly softer and it reminds me of a tropical beach.

I thought I would like Island the least because it contains coconut water and I don’t like coconut scents at all. The Escape was my least favourite and was kind of disappointing; I thought it would smell more floral. The original Paradise is of course my favourite of the three and I kind of already knew it would be. All of the scents do last a while on the skin, but I find Paradise to be the longest lasting. This is a great set if you want to try before you buy a full sized bottle, which is why I will not be re-purchasing this set.

Tarte Tartelette Tease Palette

I saw this advertised last year and I have been interested in the full sized Tartelette palettes before, but couldn’t really justify buying one (plus I couldn’t find anywhere in the UK that sold them). I thought getting this little ‘tease’ would introduce me to the brand, plus the shades look very appealing. This palette is described as being the “pocket-perfect version” of the original Tartelette palette. I thought it would be slightly bigger, but it is actually pocket sized. It is a similar size to the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palettes, but it is shorter in length and slightly wider. It’s overall layout is landscape with a length of 9.7cm and width of 5.8cm. It is made of cardboard and has a pink, purple and gold theme. The lid of the palette is magnetised and you lift it up to reveal the eyeshadows. It also has a small mirror on the reverse side of the lid and the eyeshadow pans are laid out in two rows of three shades. The pans are rectangular in shape and the shades n...

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte Darling Easy Eye Palette

I have another Charlotte Tilbury palette post for you today; I have been on a roll with them! You can definitely tell I am a fan of her eyeshadow formula. There are loads of other CT products I would love to try, but I am slowing down the purchases for now as I do have a confession to make at the end of this post! THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of shiny maroon plastic and it has a short, thin and rectangular shape. It has a metallic gold starburst design across the front. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the rectangular eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across a mirrored gold base. The group names are printed on the back of the palette. The shades don’t really have names, but there is a removable plastic insert included which labels the eyeshadows as 1 Prime, 2 Enhance or 3 Smoke. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 0.9g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) finishes.   ·    ...

Lauren Luke Set of 8 Essential Brushes

I have had this brush set for close to two years now and I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to review it. This brush set is by Lauren Luke and she wanted to create brushes that she would use herself and be well made, but not too expensive. When I bought my set the shipping cost was £1.99 (UK), but it may have changed. Large Powder Brush – £6.50 This brush is supposed to be brilliant for applying foundation, bronzer, blush and highlighter. The bristles are 185mm in length and made of goat hair. This is one of my favourite brushes from the set and it is jam packed with bristles, but it is so soft!  It is the perfect size too, because the head is relatively large but the shorter handle makes it sit well. It works well for any powder product and for sweeping away fall out from eyeshadows. The bristles enable you to pick up quite a bit of product, so if you are using colour don’t be heavy handed. I do not recommend using it for cream based products as it can...
