Natasha Denona Cranberry Palette

This palette has been around for ages and I always loved the look of it. I finally decided to pick it up. I did use a £5.00 off voucher on my order.
The packaging is made of plastic and it has a long and thin rectangular shape. The base is white and the lid is clear, so that you can see the eyeshadows. It has the logo in white font printed on the bottom right corner. The lid just lifts up to reveal the shades. The pins that attach the lid to the base are tightened, which gives you a pressure opening/closing, instead of having a magnet or clip. You can purchase it for £41.00 ($48.00) from NatashaDenona.com or FeelUnique.com.

You get five 2.5g eyeshadows in Semi Matte (SM), Satin (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.
Swatch Stencil: Stripes 7 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk
DAISY - medium pink with warm undertones and glitters (ME)
SAKURA - medium red with warm undertones (SM)
BOTANIC - duo-chrome medium orange with yellow undertones (ME)
BLOSSOM - rich berry with cool undertones (S)
NUDE - golden peach with warm undertones and sparkles (ME)

These eyeshadows should be soft and buttery, blend seamlessly, and be long lasting and ultra-pigmented. The palette is cruelty free, but not vegan as some of the shades contain Carmine.

The packaging is simple and clean cut, but I wish the opening/closing was different. It doesn’t quite feel secure enough and after a lot of use, the pins could become loose and there would be less pressure on the opening/closing, which means the lid could just flap about. The colour story is very attractive to me. The eyeshadows are very pigmented and Sakura does blend very nicely, but Blossom is a little patchy. The metallic shades are stunning and they are my favourites of the palette. I would recommend eye primer and glitter glue. You can use the metallic eyeshadows wet for a more intense look. You can also apply them with your finger or a stiff flat synthetic brush. There is obviously a little kick-back in the eyeshadows pans, but I didn’t notice any fallout. I did enjoy this palette, but there are only so many looks you can do as there are only two sort of matte shades and one of them is patchy. I kind of wish Natasha Denona would release a Cranberry Mini Palette (15 shades). That way you would get this colour story and I would include these metallic shades, but just do better with choosing mattes and include more of them. I think her bigger palettes are probably better quality than these five shade ones. It is a nice palette, but I would save your money and get a mini palette (15 shades) instead. New colour themes of them will be added over time, which I cannot wait for!

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’.   It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020   Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...

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, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...
