As the sun prepares to set on 2020... [reviewing the Sunset eyeshadow palette, by Natasha Denona]

 Natasha Denona's warmest creation yet! 

Inspired by the colours of the sunset, this palette features 15 new gorgeous eyeshadow shades in a combination of warm brown tones, burnt oranges, reds, golds, bronzes and yellows.

Natasha Denona Sunset Palette includes all four classic ND formulas in her signature Chroma Crystal, Creamy Matte, Metallic and Duo Chrome.



This was my first Natasha Denona palette; I'd always been interested in this brand and what about the formulas made  them worthy of their price range, but the scary prices were a huge deterrent. However I bit the bullet and bought this at the start of the year, after finding it at TK Maxx. I couldn't not buy it - Sunset was the palette from the brand that has interested me the most and there it was, sat on a shelf calling to me, with a good chunk of change knocked off the RRP...

Going for gold [reviewing Bombshell Gold edp, by Victoria's Secret]

 

The gift of magic: Introducing Bombshell Gold, our limited-edition sister to America’s No.1 Fragrance, Bombshell.


Festive and intoxicating. Bombshell Gold is inspired by the holiday spirit. We captured this feeling with a luxe, luminous take on the Bombshell Collection’s signature floral: Gilded Peony. To create this fantasy note, we dipped a creamy White Peony in the warmth of golden vanilla for a glowing, golden floral effect. Frozen Lychee and glittering Sugared Woods sparkle like Champagne in the snow. Unmistakably holiday.


The past few years have produced some wonderful limited  edition Bombshell fragrances from Victoria's Secret, so my fingers are crossed for the 2020 Christmas limited edition release. Lets find out how well they have done it...

Holla back brat [reviewing the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Wattabrat, by Fenty Beauty]

Light up where you want, when you want. Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter was born to reflect your every mood...

Unlike your everyday highlighter, Killawatt keeps skin lit beyond sundown with its weightless longwear formula — a cream-powder hybrid that instantly melts into skin and blends with almost zero effort. Another win: It’s loaded with superfine shimmer for an ultra-smooth, creamy texture.




Seeing that last year's limited edition Diamond Bomb highlighter is the only Fenty Beauty item that I fully enjoy, I thought it'd be a great idea to find a similar shade in the brand's permanent highlighter line...
