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.
