SOTD- Firebird Bath and Body "Saltwater"

Hmmm, "Saltwater" probably doesn't sound too appealing. I guess the only reason that I wanted to try this perfume was that it intrigued me.
Description- "Marine notes, cedar and myrtle,that softens and mellows on the skin and becomes ethereal, almost haunting. Definitely unisex, definitely unusual and worth a try."

 This perfume is more about being an experience, rather than just a fragrance. It certainly smells salty, aquatic and rich with the woody notes.

 If you have wonderful memories of being at the beach, apply this oil, shut your eyes and you can almost hear those ocean waves.

    I've always wanted to try Firebird Bath & Body fragrances but I'm still overwhelmed trying to decide on which scents to pick in my sampler - I wish I could try them all!
    Saltwater intrigued me too, but then I remember washing down from a day at the beach and smelling salty mixed in with the not-so-pleasant seaweed/kelp.

    Do you have her other fragrances as well?

      I actually haven't purchased from this Etsy store, but was gifted this sample, plus Brown Sugar and Honey from a lovely blogger. Both nice, simple blends. Have fun choosing a sampler, maybe you need 2 ;)

    Ooh I remember this! I agree, it is a nice smell rather than a perfume but sounds good for layering. I haven't tried layering this one but currently loving Theirry Mugler's Womanity which is so fresh and slightly salty :)

    I'm 99% sure that Saltwater is a knockoff of Profumum Acqua di Sale - I have testers of both and they are almost identical except that Acqua di Sale is longer-lasting. This is not a complaint at all since the Profumum only comes in a $240 full size bottle and Saltwater is available for $10!

      Well, that's interesting! Can't say I have even heard of Profumum, but $240 for a bottle, eeek! Thanks for taking the time to comment, hun xx

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
