Sweet like chocolate? [reviewing Soft Musk Delice edt, by Avon].

"Embrace long-lasting pleasure. Give in to a scent that's as addictive as chocolate and delight your senses"

 Italian brand Aquolina used to have a edt named Chocolovers which I discovered during a trip to New York and quickly fell in love with, always receiving complements on whenever I wore it. However it was discontinued over a decade ago and when any bottles show up online, they usually sell for three figures. 

Could this quick-fix edt from Avon fill the void left by my past favourite fragrance?

EOTD: the New Nudes eyeshadow palette, by Huda Beauty.

A quick and easy look today, with my favourite-colour-of-the-moment - pink.

Huda Beauty's New Nudes palette is a lovely palette for people who want to be pretty n' polished fitly for work and other occasions like weddings and christenings, which is what  the demos in my review focused on. Today I want to show a taste of the more fun looks that this palette is also capable of serving up...

Two palettes, one look: the Jackie Aina & Carli Bybel palettes, by Anastasia Beverly Hills.


I've been making sure to make use out of all of the eyeshadows I have in my trimmed down collection and that sometimes means using more than one palette at a time. 

Today's post will hopefully inspire someone to make their palettes go that little bit further too.

Perfect for autumn? [reviewing the Desert Dusk eyeshadow palette, by Huda Beauty].

"Our palette is filled with vibrant, highly-pigmented shades that reflect the exotic landscape of the Arabian desert around us. We’ve introduced three new formulas to reflect all its dazzling mystery and charm, in particular the iridescent duo-chrome formulas just completely capture the mysterious desert mirages. I spent so much time to ensure that every shade was absolutely perfect, and every colour is so special to me” – Huda Kattan

Adventure on an exotic Arabian journey with the latest eyeshadow palette by Huda Beauty. This richly toned palette features 18 versatile shades that can be layered in infinite ways to create a vast array of looks with just one palette. Layer different textures to create unique combinations or add intrigue to smooth matte shades with a duo-chrome topper. From subtle, natural looks to dramatic statements and bold glittering looks, this palette will become your new essential for all your makeup routines - Huda Beauty 






Today I have a review for something I've had for a while, and had assumed that I had already reviewed; Huda Beauty's Desert Dusk eyeshadow palette.

The colour story is made for autumn, but does the formula for the brand's oldest [that is still available] palette compare to the brand's newer releases?

Yay or nay? [reviewing Musk | 12 edp, by Kayali [Huda Beauty]].

Emanating power and confidence, MUSK | 12 begins with magnificent notes of Lotus Flower. Laced with exquisite Musk, the scent shines a light on one of the world’s most mysterious ingredients. A voluptuous blend of Vanilla and creamy Sandalwood gives this distinguished fragrance an enchanting and tempered soul - Huda's site

Today I'll be taking a closer look at the edition in Kayali's layering collection that I'd been the least interested in trying.

Has it won me over, or should I have left it alone?
