Last-minute Stocking stuffer: Far Away Rebel edp, by Avon.

Don't panic! There's still plenty of time to buy that perfect gift  - and not have to spend a ton of money to get it delivered to your door. I'm starting December with four [well five, but two will be reviewed together] reviews for under-£30 products I've been loving, to get us prepared for that final shop for gifts... 

I want to kick-start the season off with what has become one of my favourite autumn/winter perfumes, which I think would make a great gift this Christmas...

As red as Rudolph's nose [Reviewing the Obsessions Precious Stones Eyeshadow Palette in Ruby, by Huda Beauty].

Definitive proof that the best things do (sometimes) come in smaller packages, Huda Beauty’s Precious Stones Obsessions Palettes are here – and they’re absolutely exquisite! A dream come true for those Huda-holics who can’t squeeze their palettes into overstretched make up bags (or those yet to sample her game-changing shadows) this Ruby Obsessions Palette unites a spectrum of nine pigment-packed powders with duo-chrome and creamy matte textures in rich raspberry, blackcurrant and copper shades for the ultimate feminine lid looks.


Christmas and the party season is right around the corner, so I thought that it'd be the perfect time to check out Huda's red-themed palette - after all we've looked at the green one [which also contains a stunning golden shade], so adding this makes for the ultimate festive colour story...

EOTD: the Lolita Por Vida eyeshadow palette, by Kat Von D Beauty.

For the cheap seats at the back; I'm making the most out of the time that the new KvD Beauty Lolita Por Vida eyeshadow palette is still for sale by sharing one of my more recent looks using the palette. I'd originally been planning a three/four part Urban Decay Named palette countdown, followed by a countdown of my favourite Huda Beauty obsession palettes, however the Lolita Por Vida palette keeps on calling to me and I've been neglecting my other palettes. I don't want to cram in a load of rushed reviews just for the sake of having new posts, so please accept this EOTD entry instead...

After a little over a month... I clearly have been using this palette a bit too much.


For today's look I decided to focus on a shade that wasn't featured on any of the demo looks on the review page for this palette. Plus I also wanted to give a shade, that in hindsight, I feel was overwhelmed by other intense shades in my original review demo, another chance to shine.

Today is the day; I'm reviewing a Fenty Beauty product that I like. It's a Christmas miracle!

Cherry picking [Reviewing the Naked Cherry eyeshadow palette, by Urban Decay].

If you've read a few of my other eyeshadow palette reviews, then you'll know that rosy tones are my favourites, so a palette focused around them is bound to grab my attention.


 Therefore it won't be a surprise that my top pick from Urban Decay's Naked line is last year's holiday release...
