Too Faced Gingerbread Spice Palette

This palette has been released as part of the Too Faced Holiday 2018 Collection, which is limited edition. As soon as I saw the press release photos for this palette, I knew I had to have it.
The packaging is the usual tin material that the Chocolate Bar Palettes are made of. It is warm brown colour and has raised gingerbread men graphics on it. It has the usual metallic opening/closing and it also contains a small mirror. I purchased mine for £39.00 from CultBeauty.co.uk. It is also available on TooFaced.com and in Sephora stores in the USA.
You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in a variety of finishes; Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Satin (S) and Glitter (G).
POWDERED SUGAR - pale beige (M)
SPIKED EGGNOG - bright light gold (ME)
GUMDROP - rich fuchsia pink (S)
GINGERBREAD - medium brown with orange undertone (M)
WARM & TOASTY - molten gold (ME)
OOO BURN! - medium plum purple (ME)
FROSTBITE ME! - pale off-white (G)
LOOKIE AT MY COOKIE - pink coral (M)
SPICE IS NICE - rich warm orange (M)
OH SNAP! - dark coral (G)
BAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT - dark rosy bronze (ME)
SPICE OF LIFE - warm golden olive bronze (ME)
SUGAR DADDY - soft pale pink (M)
FIGGY PUDDING - dark berry (M)
HOT TODDY - copper plum (ME)
REINDEER PAWS - deep plum (M)
GINGERBREAD LATTE - medium warm golden brown (M)
SPICED RUM - dark bronze (G)

You also get a How-o Glamour Guide, which is included with the majority of Too Faced palettes. This guide shows you how to complete three looks using the palette; Spice Is Nice, Warm & Toasty and Hottie Toddy.

The eyeshadows can be sheer to highly pigmented (buildable) and should have one-swipe payoff. They should have a creamy texture and be buttery smooth. The eyeshadows are made with 100% natural cocoa powder. This palette is scented and should smell of fresh-baked gingerbread. The palette is also cruelty free. It is not vegan as it contains Carmine.

The packaging for this palette is so cute and I love it. The shade selection is right up my street. They are extremely pigmented, smooth and blend softly. They are buildable and can be used wet or dry. The only shade that swatches shear is ‘Frostbite Me!’. The palette does have a warm spice smell, but I wouldn’t say that it is identifiably gingerbread, it has more of a vanilla scent. My favourite shades are; Gumdrop, Spice Is Nice and Hot Toddy. The shade range can be considered neutral, but there are a few pops of brighter shades. I really enjoy this palette and it is the first Too Faced palette that has caught my eye in a really long time. They tend to put out a lot of ‘new’ palettes around Christmas time, which I personally don’t think are up to their usual quality. It’s like they put them out for the sakes of it because they know people will buy them. I can’t wait to continue using this palette for the winter period and I hope their future releases are just as good!

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...
