I was lucky enough to get this lovely set from the Beauty Vault.
The bag it comes in is so glam - can't wait to have a place to take it!
The lip gloss is lovely, not too sticky, nice aroma too. One of the lipsticks was too bright for me so was passed on to a friend, the other was perfect and sits nicely on the lips - not drying at all and seems to have sticking power.
The mascara is AMAZING. My new favourite. No clumps, separates and thickens lashes.
Great eyeshadow - lots of pigment. The blush is ok, it didn't seem to provide any colour to my cheeks, though that may be the kabuki brush as when I applied it with my old kabuki brush I managed to get a bit more colour on the skin, but still not a lot. (Which could be a good thing, wouldn't want to rock around looking like a clown!)
The perfume is a little nanna-rish for me, that'll be passed on to someone too.
All in all a fabulous wee set - it's got me set for summer!
I was lucky enough to get this from the BR beauty vault <3. It is, however, a set I would never go out and buy because of the price.
The set itself is soooo pretty!
The clutch is very girl, glittery and glam. Not my taste, so I have given it to my 8yo daughter.
The palette is a visually stunning mirror gold. There are 4 shadows, a tan, dark brown, blue and pink. I love the tan (Glisten) colour. But not really keen on the other three. It also has a blush (sunblush) and a shimmer (Nude shimmer). The nude shimmer is my favourite thing in this palette. its a translucent, pretty (yet not OTT) sparkle and I use it on it's own when I can't be bothered with shadow; or on top of shadow for an extra pop. The applicator is redundant.
The lip gloss is in Rose creme. It is a sheer light pink gloss and it smells aaaamaaazing! Like caramel chocolate (a pitty it doesn't taste like that LOL) The gloss doesn't really give my lips any hint of colour which I don't mind and it is slightly sticky, but I'm still happy with it.
The two lippys - Amethyst 23 and Peony 20. Both are really nourishing formulas, they go on smooth and don't dry out my lips. They don't seem to last very long but I don't mind that. The Amethyst is close to my own lip colour, I don't like it as much as I like the Peony. It is a pretty rosey pink colour with a slight gold shimmer. Of all the products I got, this lippy is my fave.
Red door Mini 5ml perfume. Firstly, I absolutely DISLIKE Red door perfume (bad childhood memories, but that's another story LOL!), so I was ready to dislike this perfume. But either the formula has changed, orrrr it smells different on me than it does on old mean grandmothers? Because I actually LIKE how this smells on me. It isn't heavy or overpowering, it smells totally different to me, fresh and clean. Whatever it is, I really like it!
