EOTD: The Purple Palette, by Kylie Cosmetics...

When I felt like wearing an all-matte purple look, I took inspiration from my last post and went with shades from my other permanent Kylie Cosmetics palette I hadn't used for a little while...

I really enjoyed the purple matte shades in today's palette the other times I've worn them, it's just that with testing other products for review, this palette just got buried at the back of a drawer and neglected. So it's time to find out if the spark is still there...

EOTD: the Take Me On Vacation eyeshadow palette, by Kylie Cosmetics...

Today I'm going to reuse a eyeshadow palette that I haven't touched in a while, to see if a change in skincare and different brushes & eyeshadow primer makes a difference in performance.

I'd not touched the Take Me On vacation palette by Kylie Cosmetics for a while because I just don't like it; the pigmentation  on the shadows is poor, so most of the shades just end up fading and muddying together. For the second time now, I've removed it from my purge-pile at the last second because it was a pricey purchase [I forget about international postage prices and customs & handling charges every time I order from America] & process/delivery/customs collection is a pain in the arse. Since I couldn't quite bring myself to part with the palette, I'm making myself use it...

Have I managed to find a way to make the shadows work for me?

The latest delicate shades = New Nude [eyeshadow palette by Huda Beauty]...

Introducing The New Nude Palette.  This all-in-one eyeshadow palette consists of 18 highly pigmented shades, ranging from flattering mattes to shimmer-drenched hues, and has everything you need to transform your lids - Huda Beauty

In the New Nude eyeshadow palette Huda's introduced a new-to-the-brand shadow formula, with her speckle-patterned shadows; there are four of them in this palette, and they are described by the brand as being "shimmering pearl flecks for a gorgeous duo-chromatic finish". Sounds fancy, but is it all just empty buzzwords?

Hey Britney; is it my Prerogative?

“Prerogative is all about empowerment and confidence - we all deserve to feel free and fierce!" - Britney Spears.

After 14 years and 25 fragrances, the Britney Spears fragrance company has left Elizabeth Arden and has secured a new fragrance contract with Revlon. They have celebrated this sign of a fresh start by releasing Britney's first unisex fragrance that was inspired by pushing boundaries... 

I'm excited to try this; I went to her UK Piece Of Me tour (yes, yes; I'm well aware it's pre-recorded vocals) and they handed out scented wristbands, so I already knew I kinda liked it. But now I'm keen to find out if the fragrance changes on my skin.
