Marc Jacobs Decadence perfume
This perfume is one of my absolute favourites. My partner didn’t really like this at first but once I wore it a couple of times she got used to it. It’s a nice rich scent, sometimes a bit much for a summery day, so I am on the hunt for a lighter scent for when it gets warmer, but Decadence is absolutely perfect for going out of an evening this time of year, I just love it.
Rimmel London Nude Eyeshadow palette
I’ve only ever really had one eyeshadow palette before, which is so old I don’t even know the name! It’s a palette from Urban Decay. I adore this palette but I’ve had it for a long time so I wanted to update my collection seeing as I wear eyeshadow quite a lot now. I feel like eyeshadow has definitely come back into fashion. I remember at school people wouldn’t be caught dead with eyeshadow on but now its all the rage again! Anyway, I bought this palette from Rimmel. It’s a nude palette, they do a couple of these with slightly different shades. But I chose this one because these were the kinds of shades I was using in the UD one before. And I think they’re brill. There is a nice mix of glittery and matte shades which I like. However, sometimes I do get a lot of fallout from the glittery shades and a couple of the Matt shades aren’t super pigmented so you have to keep going in to get a good colour but I do really like the shades in this palette.
L’Oreal Paris cleansing wash
I went a little bit crazy over the last couple of months trying out some new skin care products and honestly, this is one of the few that made the cut. It’s not too exciting, it doesn’t smell much of anything and it doesn’t do anything extraordinary but it just does its job; it washes my face. I’ve been wearing more makeup recently so I needed something to make sure my face was super clean to stop me from breaking out and so far so good.
The Body Shop Banana hair mask
This mask is to die for. The scent is heavenly, it smells just like the little banana sweets you get in pick’n’mix.
I recently dyed my hair so I was looking out for a good hair mask just to save the ends. I don’t get my hair cut nearly as often as I should so I want to avoid split ends at all costs.
The instructions on the tub say to run it through damp hair and let it sit for a bit, then wash out. But the lady at the till suggested to put it through dry hair when you’re chilling at home because dry hair absorbs the oils better. I haven’t tried that out yet but I’ll let you know when I do!
I’ve only used the mask a couple times but I’ve already noticed a difference! Normally after dying, my hair is so frazzled but it still feels pretty silky which is amazing! I would 100% recommend, plus it’s vegan!
