SOTD- Elizabeth Arden Provocative

An offer to share an order of some perfume samples with my daughter from My Perfume Samples was just too much of a temptation to resist. I figured that ordering a few samples was better than full sized purchases, if there's a justification in spending, I'll find it! :)
Elizabeth Arden Provocative is one of the samples that I ordered.

 Described as: "Sensual and enticing, Provocative by Elizabeth Arden is a beautifully refined fragrance for women. A dazzling blend of florals with an oriental touch. This feminine scent is an alluring blend of lilies, gorgeous lotus, lovely orchids with subtle undertones of amber and woods."

 When I first applied this perfume, I thought it wasn't going to be for me. With heady floral, it seemed intense. This quickly softened, making it a beautiful, wearable fragrance. The oriental, amber and woodsy elements, although not strong, gives this perfume a grown up, sexy feel. It's such an elegant perfume, that begs to be worn to a special event. Unfortunately for me, I don't have a reason to dress up that often, but I'm happy to wear this fragrance any time any where! A future full size purchase for sure :)

    Oh this sounds like my kind of fragrance Indie - orientals are my thing, and if it has amber and woody bits, I'm a goner ha ha. Can't wait to sample this one at the counter - thanks for the beaut review and for bringing this to my attention ♥

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

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.
