Violet Voss X Laura Lee Palette

After being blown away by the Holy Grail Palette, I just couldn’t pass on this one! The shade selection doesn’t appeal to me as much, but I know the quality will be there. Also, this palette is limited edition so I wouldn’t recommend hesitating if you are interested in it.

I believe this palette is a collaboration with a YouTuber called Laura Lee. I don’t know anything about Laura, but from what I gather she makes beauty videos.

The palette design is similar to the Holy Grail Palette but the colour scheme is different, but it still has the holographic effect on the packaging. It has a rectangular shape to it and it is slightly bulky and has a little weight to it. It has a magnetic closing and when you lift the lid it reveals the eyeshadow pans and a mirror. The packaging colour scheme is black and silver.

You get twenty 36g eyeshadows in a variety of shades and finishes.

BASIC - matte creamy ivory

SUGAH - champagne shimmer

PRISS POT - matte peach

MAMA BIRD - matte burnt orange

RAGA MUFFIN - rich matte terracotta

LARLEE - pearlescent peach

TICKLED PINK - metallic rose gold

HISSY FIT - metallic bronze

BITTY - rich metallic rust

1988 - metallic cranberry

FLEEKY - bright metallic yellow gold

BRITCHES - soft sand

FRIED - mustard brown

YOSHI - duo chrome purple

RAMMER JAMMER - metallic raspberry

ALABAMA - red toned brown

WISKERS - rich chocolate brown

BUBS - matte espresso brown

SMASHLEE - metallic moss green

LOU - matte black

The eyeshadows should all be highly pigmented and enable smooth blending to create flawless looks.

I do like the shade selection and the quality is just as exquisite as the Holy Grail Palette. The eyeshadows are soft, buttery, highly and extremely pigmented as well as being effortless to blend. You can use them wet, but like I said last time, you really don’t need too (just primer is fine). I am just in love with the metallic finishes! I do prefer the Holy Grail Palette overall, but I am just in love with Violet Voss’ formula so I am glad that I picked this up. Violet Voss has also come out with another palette, but it is mostly colours and I prefer the warm browns, rose golds, berries and neutral tones. Although this palette is limited edition, you can however still pick it up (BeautyBay), I just don’t know how much longer it will be available. I know I only own two, but I think I am addicted! They are so pretty to get out and just look at!

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 ...
