Hello to all of you lovelies, I have what I guess is another haul, although it is very miniscule, and these are actually a few gifts that my nephew has purchased for me, so before I start, no I did not buy these, they are a gift from my nephew who decided that he would buy early Christmas presents. He doesn't really see the point in wrapping things up and waiting for a day to give you things.
So, that said, today I am showing you what my nephew purchased for me. I actually didn't expect him to buy anything, but because we were in town together, and I wanted to venture into Boots, he asked me what would be a good gift for my sister. My nephew and younger sister are extremely close to each other now, and he feels that she's losing out now on gifts because she has a daughter who people pamper and buy things for. I feel the same way, but her Christmas present is coming in little bits and bundles with me. Long story short, he aimed to buy my sister a few things, and then ended up buying me stuff as well, which surprised me because I didn't think he would be my anything!
Anyway, my nephew picked me two things up - first, he bought me the So...? Kiss me fragrance set (£5.99 from Superdrug) which includes a 30ml bottle of perfume, a 50ml lotion, and a pot of luscious lip balm which smells absolutely gorgeous and yummy! I've been eyeing this set up for a good few years, ever since I first started using the body spray of this brand, but no one ever bought it for me for Christmas, so I never had it in my small collection of perfumes and scents.
Well, now I do, and it smells just as gorgeous as the body spray does!
The bottle is so cute to look at in my opinion, and it will be perfect to carry around because of its sizze. The lotion smells pretty much the same, but with that added lotion scent... I really don't know how to describe it, but smells like lotion mixed with So...? Kiss me. That's all I can say on that, really!
The lip balm itself is so cute! You get 10ml of product, and it's tinted a pretty red colour. The product itself really isn't much, though. I find that it sits well on my lips and goes on smoothly, but other than that, it doesn't do much. I don't find it particularly moisturizing or overly great, but I like the smell and how it feels on my lips, as well as the gentle sheen it gives. So far, I can't see a tint, but it's very dark in my room so that could be why!
Well, for £5.99, you can't complain, and given that this is a part of a 3 for 2 offer in Superdrug, this is a real bargain. Three nice little products that will be a great gift for any teenager or So...? lover!
The next gift is the one I am the most excited about, and that is the Be Enchanted... The Fairest Of Them All Eyeshadow Palette (£8.00 at Boots) which I spotted when browsing Boots with a friend in town after college. Now, call me childish, but I absolutely adore Fairytales and anything based around them, so when I saw this little palette and the other sets that you can get from this line, I wanted it, and knew that I had to get at least one of the smaller palette's from this line. I have the palette in The Fairest Of Them All, a more natural palette which includes five eyeshadows in the shades Slipper, Gossamer, Coronet, Rusty Red and Fawn. A small mirror and dual ended applicator is included, and the palette itself is small enough to carry around if you need any touch ups, so that's pretty handy.
There's also a darker counterpart to this palette, which is called The Clock Strikes, and whilst the colours are so dark and gorgeous, they are the sort of colours I steer clear from, but it would be a gorgeous gift for any girl who loves to make a bolder statement!
The colours in this all look absolutely gorgeous, and will be so appropriate for day wear. The pigmentation is pretty good from what I can tell after giving them a few swatches on my arm, but slipper and Coronet are so light, it may be a little harder to see, but you could use them both as highlights. Rusty Red and Fawn, though, are absolutely gorgeous when swatched! They are so pigmented and swatched so smoothly, I was amazed! I really didn't know what to expect with these shadows, though I prepared myself for the worst, but they are so pretty and the colour is buildable, so I am very happy with this sweet little palette!
I actually like all the colours, but I haven't had the chance to experiment with this cute little set yet, but honestly, I am excited to! It's really adorable, and as you now know, I love the fairytale theme and look of this set! It's something that will always catch my eye and interest me, no matter what my age, but for those out there looking for a nice gift for a teenage friend or daughter, this might be it, because it's very pretty and the colours for this palette are classic.
So far, I have only seen this set in Boots for the Christmas gifts, but I hope that in the future, I can find it somewhere else because I really like the look of the palette and how pretty it is!
You can get the So...? Kiss Me set from Superdrug, and the Be Enchanted Palette from Boots. Both of these little treats will be a nice gift for a friend or teenage daughter, or someone who just adores fairytales and soft fragrances!
