Speedy Review: Fleur Fatale edp, by Kim Kardashian...

 Fleur Fatale edp by Kim Kardashian, was released in September 2014 [her original line of fragrances has nothing to do with her KKW fragrance company]. Fleur Fatale was announced as being a "captivating, feminine and sensual composition of floral, woody and musk notes."

I've always been aware of Fleur Fatele and the notes sounded really agreeable to me, however none of her earlier perfumes rocked my boat so I wasn't in a rush to try it & then this perfume didn't sick around long in stores, so I took it as a sign and didn't bother tracking it down.

However I recently saw a eBay auction for a 30ml bottle & fragranced body lotion combo that had nearly ended, so I decided to try my luck as it was only a few pounds - if I enjoy it I can then pick up a 100ml bottle for under £20. As you can easily find Fleur Fatale on eBay stores, Amazon and perfume outlet sites, I wanted to share my thoughts on here...

EOTD: KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette, by KKW Beauty...

Today we have the concluding half of my I-didn't-feature-a-certain-shade-on-my-original-review-page-so-here-you-go for the KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette, which I hadn't had on hand for a while, but now I'm starting to really get back into.

As my last post showed one of my minimal 'everyday' looks which is what I prefer using this palette for, I thought I'd dial up the glam factor for today's look. Well; I am using the perfect shade for that...

EOTD: KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette, by KKW Beauty...

There's no big story or event behind today's post; none of the shade combination photos I picked to illustrate the review page for the KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette featured the shade Miami (which is strange since it is my favourite and most-used matte shade in the palette), so I wanted to feature a fresh & clean 'everyday' look using the shadow, so it could get it's moment in the spotlight.

In fact, this is one of my go-to 'minimal effort' looks that I've repeated a fair few times in my day-to-day life for this palette, as it's quick and easy - perfect for when you get up early and don't have much time to get ready.

EOTD: The Jaclyn Hill palette, by Morphe...

I like the striking images of Kim's blue eye makeup that Mario Dedivanovic did on Kim Kardashian for the promotional campaign shoot of the KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette...

... As blue eyeshadow is having another spotlight moment in the beauty world and my sister currently has my KKW palette, here is my attempt at recreating the look with a wildly popular palette that I think lots of makeup lovers own...

Anything Kylie can do, Kim can do ____ [reviewing the KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette by KKW Beauty]

The KKW x Mario eyeshadow palette, formulated specifically for easy layering and blending. Matte shadows provide a creamy powdery finish in an array of universal neutrals to add depth and shade to any eye look. The buttery smooth metallic shadows can be used wet or dry, with brushes or fingers. They glide on effortlessly and provide a saturated pearlized color finish. This go-to palette provides versatility and dimension to your favorite makeup look. 

Despite whatever impression you may get from my Kylie Cosmetics eyeshadow collection/strange fascination, I don't care for the K Klan themselves [I think they're irritating, but mostly harmless], but I do follow & admire Mario Dedivanovic's work and wanted to support him - plus not getting his ABH palette is still a sore point and I didn't want to miss out again, so come launch day for his KKW x Mario collection I was stalking the site, ready to pounce on the eyeshadow palette the second that it launched... 

Has Kim just copied more of Kylie's footsteps and formulas, or has she pulled something new out of the K Klan bag of tricks? And, if new, is that change for the better or worse?

Crystal clear, with added zing; Crystal Gardenia Citrus EDP by KKW Fragrances...

If you follow the KKW Fragrances brand, you'll know that they've just released a new line of fragrances, ready for Valentine's Day. I personally think the new trio [the Kimoji Hearts line] sounds like popular perfumes from Victoria's Secret that I have/had, and I think the bottles and promotional photos make them look cheap, tacky and generally 'meh' - I know that bottle shape and pictures won't affect the actual juice, but I'm getting fussy about the presentation of fragrances.

Instead of taking a closer look at the new perfumes, I'm bringing some attention back to the original range by the brand instead [by 'original' I mean a whole three/four months old]. Today I'm focusing on Crystal Gardenia Citrus, which was actually the first fragrance in the Crystal Gardenia line I bought, and is the one which encouraged me to continue exploring the KKW Fragrances brand. So it's not going to be a huge surprise to discover that I enjoy this fragrance, but lets read why...

It's crystal clear; Crystal Gardenia EDP by KKW Fragrances...

KKW Fragrances. A Kim Kardashian-West brand that I'd heard about and dismissed, as I've tried every perfume previously release by her under her last range [except the HTF Love one] and I wasn't wowed by them. However, I then saw photos of the pretty bottles for the KKW line and was predictably suckered in. One impulse blind buy later and I was soon receiving a bottle in the post...

If you follow the KKW Fragrances line, you'll know that they'll be releasing three new fragrances at 8pm UK-time this evening, ready for Valentine's Day. I personally think that this new trio [the Kimoji Hearts line] looks cheap, tacky and generally 'meh', so instead of looking at them I instead thought I'd bring some attention back to the original range by the brand instead [by 'original' I mean a whole three/four months old].

I'm going to start by focusing on the one that most consider to be the piller of the Crystal Gardenia range...

It's a Glam slam... Review of Glam by Kim Kardashian...

"I can tell where I was in life when I made each perfume. Every fragrance means something different to me. My personality and my mood was light and fun [this time around] and I can see that [in Glam]. It's a little bit more electric [than the others]. It's the most energetic." - Kim Kardashian 

First impression: True Reflection EDP by Kim Kardashian...

I'll admit that TRUE REFLECTION is 'nice' and a huge step up from the other Kim Kardashian fragrance releases that I've tried...

Review: Kim Kardashian EDP by Kim Kardashian

Before I even start my review; I want to point out that no,  I don't have anything against Kim Kardashian herself. If you don't like this fragrance why are you instantly labelled as a bitchy, jealous 'hater'?

Now that I've got my whine out of my system, lets begin today's review...
