The Body Shop Pinita Colada Body Butter


Well lets talk body butters, When it comes to my body and moisturizing I have to say I'm not religious in applying it which I should be better at.

When it comes to the body shop My all time love is the Strawberry range. 

I have from time to time tried other scents and fragrances within the body shop range, I have heard of and seen this pinita colada collection that was launched in the summer.

I don't go into body shop as much as I used to back in the day so I never smelt or tried this range, So when I was I Glasgow recently I went in to body shop smelt it and fell in love with the scent.

As you can imagine its a very sweet scent with it being a mixture of pineapple and coconut.

I personally have never tried the actual drink but I imagine its super sweet tasting if the scent is anything to go by.

Its a very light weight cream but intensely moisturizing aimed at normal to dry skin.

Unfortunately it is limited edition so once its gone its gone which is a total shame.

There is a shower gel, body sorbet and a body scrub within the range and I have been lucky enough to enjoy the cream which is now done but I have the sorbet and scrub.

I can't say enough great things about it just a pity it is limited edition if your near a body shop go in see if they still got it and grab it.

have a good one guys x.

Too Faced Chocolate Pallette


This is nothing one of thee amazing palettes brought out by Too Faced, it comes in a tin like casing like the sweet peach palette and yes this one smells like chocolate!!!.

This palette contains 16 antioxidant rich powder infused matte and shimmer shades within the range of color such as natural browns, pinks and some plums. This palette is made with 100% natural cocoa powder.

 So this is inside the palette beautiful isn't it.

Lets go through them by row.

first row we have, Gilded Gan ache I think it look slightly like a khaki green tint with brown and gold shimmer.
White Chocolate the longer one in top row is just your standard matte white shade.
Milk Chocolate which is a milk brown matte.
Black Forest Truffle a plummy brown shimmer most shimmery one in palette.
Triple Fudge the last one on first row that is a matte dark brown.

Second Row, Salted Caramel is a matte peachy orange shade.
Marzipan one of my most used ones is a shimmery gold pink.
Semi-sweet this is matte brown, there is a lot of browns.  
Strawberry Bon Bon as described this is a pink and its also matte.
Candid Violet which is purple shimmer.
Amaretto oh my I love this shade another well used one.

Last row we have, Hazelnut a brown with slight golden shimmer.
Creme Brulee more golden shimmer.
Haute Chocolate love there play on words here is genius this is another darker brown with shimmer.
Cherry Cordial plum with shimmer another great shade I use.
Champagne Truffle is the other longer shade which is a pink shimmery shade that is alos great as a highlighter.

As with the Sweet Peach Palette I personally feel that these Too Faced palettes are much better quality than The Urban Decay ones.

Again I will put my instagram deatail to my page as I will out a instagram story video of swatches of this. 

My Instagram is make_up_lover1983.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette





Well tonight I'm going to talk about one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes, the sweet peach and oh how sweet it is.

Lets start off by mentioning how beautiful the packaging is. It comes in this tin with the ombre pink to peach coloring with the too faced logo in the left hand corner and a big peach motif bottom right. 

And if that wasn't enough it smells amazingly peachy.

Lets take a look inside shall we....




da daaaaaaaaaa lol the beauty right....

Ok so inside there are 18 shadows and a good range of color to chose from.

Now I was going to swatch them on my arm and take a photo but never looks great so I will do swatches and add that video to my instagram story soon and leave my instagram for those who wish to add and see it.

Top Row from left- right is-:

  • White peach which is a matte white good as a base and also can be used for a subtle highlight.
  • Luscious is one of my most used shadows in the palette and I would say its a metallic slight shimmery rose gold sort of shadow and stunning on its on or mixed in with other shadows.
  •  Just Peachy which is peach with slight shimmer and also good mixed in or used as a base shadow.
  • Bless Her Heart a lovely light green with slight shimmer.
  • Tempting which is a black with very slight shimmer in it and I personally would use it with a liner brush dry or wet as eye liner.
  • Charmed,I'm Sure is matte brown.
  •  
  •  
Middle Row.

  • Nectar  slightly shimmery golden yellow shade good for inner corners of eyes.
  •  Cobbler is coppery brown metallic 
  • Candied Peach a bright peach with slight shimmer
  • Bellini another one I use a lot a rose goldish brown 
  • Peach Pit dark shimmery brown
  • Delectable deep purple with slight shimmer

Last Row.
  • Peaches&Cream this is a matte or white color again good base shadow
  • Georgia matte light pink 
  • Caramelized metallic caramel brown
  • Puree brown red undertone matte
  • Summer Yum rust kinda color
  • Talk Derby To Me  black with purple shimmery glitter 

I was over the moon when I finally received this palette I always thought that the Urban Decay ones were the ultimate in Eye shadows but since using this and my Chocolate palette from too faced I have changed my mind.

I highly recommend this and the chocolate one to anyone over the urban decay, I mean don't get me wrong I have the urban decay ones and one I like most is naked 3 but I feel the quality of these too faced palettes are much better.

Well thats all for tonight I will do a instagram story video with swatches at some point and I will put my instagram details if you want to add me to see it. 

And also I will get a review of the chocolate bar palette up soon.
