Could it be Magic? [Reviewing the Juvia's Place Magic eyeshadow palette]

Better late, than not at all... 


I'm finally getting around to reviewing one of my Juvia's Place eyeshadow palettes today.



I posted an EOTD using the Magic palette about 14 months ago and have now used every shade a few times (what can I say? I've been getting back into neutrals) and now feel confident in sharing my opinion on them.

Has the wait been worth it, or has it been a build-up for nothing?

What’s your Promise? [Reviewing Promise edp, by Jennifer Lopez]


We all make promises to ourselves and one another, they are meant to be forever’ Introducing PROMISE the new fragrance by Jennifer Lopez. Promise embodies everything she  stands for today, it’s the essence of a multifaceted and powerful woman. Jennifer invites us to make our own promises, to be better every day, no matter what stands in our way.  
What’s your Promise? 
I haven't paid much attention to the Jennifer Lopez line of perfumes for around four years or so now, as it seemed liked they stopped getting regular UK releases for a long while.  So it was pure chance that I noticed Promise in Boots recently and took another blind-buy gamble, since two stores I went to said that testers aren't yet available...

I lost the gamble last time, so will this one be a failure too?

A closer look at... Maybelline's FaceStudio Chrome Extreme Highlighter in Molten Gold.

Looking for the appearance of a £30 highlighter,  with a 'drugstore' price tag?


Today I want to share a find that my sister found and then passed on to me, as I've been looking for something that could maybe be a replacement for the-much-lusted-after ABH Amrezy highlighter...

Is this a contender?

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.
