Too Faced Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palette

This palette has been released as part of the Too Faced Holiday 2019 Collection, which is limited edition. I also purchased the original version of this palette, Gingerbread Spice, last year. I knew I had to own both and the colour story is perfect for me. Although at first glance they do look similar, there are actually some differences.
The packaging is the usual tin material that the Chocolate Bar Palettes are made of and the same as last year. It is warm brown colour and has raised gingerbread men graphics on it. It has the usual magnetic opening/closing and it also contains a small mirror. It is available for £39.00 from CultBeauty.co.uk and TooFaced.com.

You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in a variety of finishes; Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Satin (S) and Glitter (G).

You also get a How-to Glamour Guide, which is included with the majority of Too Faced palettes. This guide shows you how to complete three looks using the palette; Sugar Mama, Bake & Chill, Cinnamon Toast and Spice Girl.

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 gingerbread cookies. The palette is also cruelty free but not vegan (contains Carmine).

The packaging for this palette is near enough the same as last year’s version, so cute!. The shade selection again is right up my street. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, smooth and blend softly, just like the last palette. They are buildable and can be used wet or dry. I would still use eye primer and glitter glue. Shimmer/metallic shades are always best applied with your finger or a stiff flat synthetic brush. The palette does have vanilla sweet scent, but I wouldn’t say that it is identifiably gingerbread cookies. My favourite shades are; Cookie Cutter, Lick The Spoon and Hot Tamale. The only disappointing shade for me is Midnight Snack. It is quite dry, chalky and it isn’t as pigmented as the other shades. It is also a flat shade and there is nothing special about it. The blue teal shimmers don’t really show up on your eye! Overall, I really enjoyed this palette and I don’t know which version is my favourite. I love and will keep both, but you probably don’t need both. I wonder what version Too Faced will come out with next year.

Perfume Power! - Aquolina 'Pink Sugar'

I purchased this perfume because of all the hype in the YouTube ‘Beauty Guru’ community. The bottle design is very simple and classic and has feminine pink banding around the bottle. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Liquorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, Wood, Powder. To me it smells really sweet, which is quite nice, but, it makes me feel sick and gives me a rotten headache because it smells too strong and like mouldy potpourri and it comes across really woody. It does stay on the skin for a long time and lingers long after, which is bad news for me really. It also makes my sister feel sick, so it's not just me! I really hoped that I would like this scent, but to me it is disgusting. I CANNOT and WILL NOT ever wear it. Rate: 0 / 5            Re-Purchase: NEVER Product Link: click here! RRP Price: £17 ...

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #5 - September 2020

Last month’s box was the Sunkissed Edition and this month we have the Birthday Edition with a peach, white and gold themed box. It is LookFantastic’s sixth birthday this month. The six items inside the box should be worth over £77.00 altogether and there is an extra free gift included! Here is what I received this month:- brush works Jade Roller | £9.99 | This face roller is supposed to alleviate puffiness and tension in the face. You can use it to massage serums, moisturisers and face masks into the skin. I already own a face roller and I do use it a few times a week. I notice a slight difference when I’ve used it. I will give this one a go as it is quite different to the one I already have. This one has a smaller roller on one side that might be better for under my eyes. | Full Size - £9.99 | ESPA Pink Hair and Scalp Mud | 30ml - £5.10 | This hair mask is a mineral rich treatment mask that is supposed to deeply condition, to leave hair soft and smooth and the...
