Benefit Cheek Stars Reunion Tour Palette

I’ve wanted to try the highlighter Cookie from Benefit for ages, but always decided against purchasing a single of it as I always declutter the single boxed powders by Benefit, so I didn’t want to waste money again. Also, I have far too many single highlighters (OFRA ♥) as it is! I kept seeing Beauty Influencers on YouTube use this palette, so I decided to purchase it for myself.
You get five full sized powders inside a cute compact palette. You also get a free face brush which also fits inside the palette and a Tips & Tricks Card. You can purchase it for £53.50 ($60.00) from BenefitCosmetics.com. There is also a mini version available of this palette (Cheek Stars Mini Reunion Tour Palette), which includes; Georgia, Sugarbomb and Hoola for £26.00 ($30.00). All five powders are also available in singles and mini/travel singles.
Swatch Stencil: Stripes 7 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk
Dallas - rosy bronze blush (9g)
Sugarbomb - rosy pink blush (7g)
Cookie - golden pearl highlighter (8g)
Georgia - golden peach blush (8g)
Hoola - brown matte bronzer (8g)

My First Impressions
I love the compact packaging, I’m not interested in the brush and some of the powders are scented (smells lovely). Long ago I did really want Dallas and in person it is actually quite light. I always thought it would be darker. If you have a very fair complexion, you may be able to use this as bronzer. I’ve had Sugarbomb before and I was never that keen on it because it is shimmery and I don’t get the point of having several shades together in one pan. It is quite rosy and the shimmer is actually not that visible on the cheeks. It is still not really my sort of shade. I really wanted to try Cookie as I had heard it was supposed to be good. I have previously tried another Benefit highlighter and I wasn’t impressed so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. It is very reflective and it looks silver/platinum and metallic. It also appears as though there is some glitter. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. It isn’t my favourite highlighter that I’ve ever tried, but it is a thousand times better than the last Benefit highlighter I tried! Georgia is new to me. Apparently it was released years ago and was then discontinued and now it is back. It is a shimmery blush, which again isn’t for me, but it does look pretty on the skin. I actually already have a mini of Hoola and I have had it before. I wasn’t a massive fan as I thought it always looked orange on me, but it doesn’t look too bad if it is blended out well. You definitely need a light hand and a fluffy brush for Hoola! Overall, this is a great palette to try different Benefit cheek products if you are on the fence about purchasing a single. All of the powders are actually full size in this palette, which is amazing and you are saving £81.50!. Who doesn’t love to save money on make-up? I can’t wait to play with this palette a little more!

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

My Favourite TV Series

I have already shared with you some current favourite songs and my favourite films. I thought it was now time to mention my favourite TV series. Here are my top ten favourite TV series:-   Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) This series is about a teenager who becomes the next vampire slayer. Only one slayer is born into every generation and one has to die for another to be activated. It is a kind of coming of age story and I love strong female characters. I also just loved the fight scenes. I was only four when this series first came out, so I did miss a few seasons at first. About five years ago, I did re-watch all seven seasons. I was sad it ended, but there are only so many monsters you can introduce and slay before it gets monotonous! It did watch the spin-off show Angel, but it didn’t have the same magic and feel to it for me.   Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-) I am quite partial to a crime drama and it all started with CSI: Miami. I watched all of the Amer...
