Nourishing Eyeliner in Soft Black

   When I first put on this eyeliner it went on smooth and didn’t clump up on me. It was easy to apply and looked good. After a few hours though I noticed that it was migrating south on me and it did not look cute. I had to keep on cleaning up my under eye area so it I didn’t look like I had raccoon eyes. I don’t know if it was doing this because my lash line is a little bit oily, but I will not be repurchasing this eyeliner.

   It is available in 1405 Soft Black, 1415 Warm Brown and 1410 Midnight Grey

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Soirée Eau De Parfum

   This fragrance starts off smelling a bit fruity then dries down to a floral woody scent.

Top notes: Pink Kiwi and Mandarin.

Middle notes: Jasmine, Indian Sambac, and Water Lily.

Bottom notes: Amber, Soft woods and Musk.

   The box has a gold trim around the edges, with gold writing on it, and the word Soirée in dark purple script.  There is also pink, purple and white splatter paint all over the box, and reflective squares with a lenticular layer over them giving it almost a 3D effect. If you move the box around in the light, it looks like the box has mini lights all over it.

   The bottle looks really pretty; it has a beautiful crystal lid with an organza bow. On the bow is a gold safety pin with a beautiful masquerade mask that is spilt in two colours (pink with gold sparkles and white) with gold trim and five crystals on either side. Also on the pin is a gold spiral that reminds me of party streamers. The bottle itself is square with a raised square design, on the sides. The glass is ombre frosted glass the goes from frosted at the top to clear at the bottom. It also has their trademark gold crest on it and pink and purple splatter.  

   To me the fruity part reminds me of having drinks with my friends at night and that lightheartedness before going out, and the dry down reminds me of being in the club after a few hours with the floral and woody scents of everyone’s perfumes combining.  

   Overall I really like this perfume, and I think that the bottle and box really represent the scent inside.

Real Nature Honey Face Mask

   This mask has honey extract in it that helps to moisturize your skin. The mask also has air pockets in it that contain the extract of the honey in them. This makes it easier for the product to stay on your face and sink more easily into your skin.

   I left it on my skin for the full fifteen minutes and when I took it off, there was still a lot of product that didn’t sink into my skin. I patted the excess product into my skin but I still had to wait a little bit for it to sink in before I put on my face cream. I have dry skin and after using this mask my face felt very hydrated for the entire day.

   I recommend trying out this mask if you have dry skin. If you are looking for this mask, please be aware that they have changed the look of the packaging.
