THE SHADE & SWATCH
532 - beige bronze (metallic)
 
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I’ve heard of this brand before, but I hadn’t tried any products from them. The packaging has quite a bit of weight to it and it has a nice simple design. The colour is beautiful and universally neutral. The formula has a sort of paste consistency. I am yet to try it on my eyes but when I applied it to my wrist for the swatch photo, it dried down very quickly and when I rubbed my finger over the swatch, it didn’t move and my finger came up clean. This means there is hope for the twenty-four hour wear claim. I don’t really wear cream eyeshadows as I do find all of them crease on me, but I am interested in trying this one and seeing if it is different. It did take me a few rubs with a wet cloth to remove the swatch too.
 
You can purchase the 3ina The Cream Eyeshadow in 532 for £14.95 ($20.00) from 3ina.com.

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...

Perfume Power! - Christina Aguilera 'Woman'

I decided to buy this perfume as it was on my test list on Fragrantica and I saw it for a decent price. I have been struggling to find places to buy perfume samples lately, so I took a gamble and bought the smallest bottle size I could. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle is made of glass and kind of an hourglass shape, just like some of Christina’s other perfumes. It has a yellow gold flower design on the thinnest part of the bottle and Christina’s name is printed in hot pink and the perfume name printed in yellow gold. It also has yellow gold banding around the neck for the cap to sit on. The cap is clear plastic and kind of diamond shaped. It has a slight yellow gold spritzer to dispense the scent. On the outer cardboard box it had this description; “A sensual combination of golden amber and white flowers - radiating femininity the way a woman does”. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Litchi & Pear Middle Notes: Magnol...
