Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: ColourPop it's my pleasure Pressed Powder Palette

 Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to declutter a bit  I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag. 

ColourPop it's my pleasure Pressed Powder Palette

You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:

So as you can see I created some smoky, some bright, purple looks. I really love the quality of this palette - the color payoff is excellent, the shadows are beautiful, and they blend well. I absolutely adore the selection of purples in this palette  in both metallic and matte finishes which enables one to create quite the variety of looks. Many of these shades also work beautifully as blushes and Earthshine makes a really beautiful highlighter on the face as well. I honestly love its versatility and I love the way the shades in here look with my brown eyes so I will definitely be holding onto this palette.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Candle Review: Charmed Aroma Strawberry Donut Candle

 Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 

Candle: Charmed Aroma Strawberry Donut Candle

Availability:  This appears to currently be out of stock on us.charmedaroma.com and is listed at being $44 full-price and currently on sale at $33.99. The candle contains 13.4 oz. of wax.

Would I buy this?: For the scent alone, yes.

Notes: According to us.charmedaroma.com, the scent description is as follows: A tempting blend of sweet raspberry jelly, deep-fried donut, and powdered sugar.

I personally find that it smells the same both cold or hot, although the scent is slightly intensified when the candle is burning. I find it strange that they called it a strawberry donut but say it's meant to smell like a raspberry jelly donut. To me this smells like cinnamon spiced dough, I cannot get a distinct berry note of any kind. Personally, I think it smells delicious regardless.

I find that this candle has a good throw, it scents up my entire room. 

Let me know if you'd like me to show the jewelry inside once the wax is down enough for me to fish it out.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Candle: Charmed Aroma Peach Sugar Kiss Candle

Availability:  This appears to have been discontinued. 

Would I buy this?: Yes!

Notes: Due to this having been discontinued, I cannot find a scent description for it. 

I personally find that it smells the same both cold or hot, although the scent is slightly intensified when the candle is burning. To me, this has a delicious, juicy, sweet peach scent. It reminds me more of peach juice than actual peaches but I personally LOVE how it smells.

Candle Review: Charmed Aroma Champagne Shimmer Candle

 Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 

Candle: Charmed Aroma Champagne Shimmer Candle

Availability:  This appears to have been discontinued. 

Would I buy this?: I'm unsure. 

Notes: Due to this having been discontinued, I cannot find a scent description for it. 

I personally find that it smells the same both cold or hot, although the scent is slightly intensified when the candle is burning. To me, this has a fruity, slightly floral, but overall sweet, and perhaps a bit fizzy scent.

I find that this candle has a decent throw, it will scent up my entire room lightly.

Candle Review: Charmed Aroma Seashell Candle

Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 

Candle: Charmed Aroma Seashell Candle

Availability:  This appears to have been discontinued. 

Would I buy this?: I'm unsure. 

Notes: Due to this having been discontinued, I cannot find a scent description for it. 

I personally find that it smells the same both cold or hot, although the scent is slightly intensified when the candle is burning. To me, this smells like a lemony or perhaps citrusy sweet-tart candy with a slight hint of a sea breeze. I really enjoy its scent.

I find that this candle has a decent throw, it will scent up my candle nook corner but it doesn't scent up my entire room. I'm unsure if the scent doesn't throw as well because the opening at the top of the mug is sort of narrow. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Sleeping Mask Review: TONYMOLY I'm Rose Revitalizing Sleeping Mask

'Ello folksickles. Today's review will be for the TONYMOLY I'm Rose Revitalizing Sleeping Mask.

Availability: This product retails at $15 for 100 mL and can be purchased at ulta.com and macys.com along with their physical store locations as well as at tonymoly.us, amazon.com, flip.shop, and iherb.com. 

Would I buy this again? I'm not sure.

What it is formulated to do:

According to tonymoly.us:

This lightweight gel mask contains 1,000 ppm of natural Rose Extract that not only acts as an anti-inflammatory but will also gradually buff away fine lines and plumpen your skin! Let this spa-worthy mask work its magic while you sleep and wake up with brighter more vibrant skin. Free of Parabens, Alcohol and Talc.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Again, according to tonymoly.us:

Key Ingredients

Rose Extract - Rich in Vitamin C to brighten and condition the skin.

Camellia Extract - High in antioxidants and targets free radicals.

Aloe Extract - High in antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamin A and C and is highly anti-inflammatory.

What is the texture like?

This has a gel texture that absorbs quickly and feels cooling when applied. 

Is it scented?

To me, this smells mostly like an aloe gel with a hint of something floral which one can assume is the rose. It's not an obvious rose scent as far as I'm concerned. 

My overall experience/comments on the product:

I have found that this masks really adds a nice, soothing, cooling, boost of extra hydration to my skin. My skin felt very smooth and soft when I woke up in the morning. I have to keep using this long-term to see how I feel about it but so far so good.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:

So as you can see I created some smoky, some bright, overall really colorful looks. The colors in here are very vivid and last really well throughout the day without creasing or fading (I use them over the wet n wild Photo Focus Eyeshadow Primer) I honestly love the quality of the colors included in this palette; they all blend together really easily, except for E3-E5, unfortunately, which give me trouble when I try to blend them. I really enjoyed all the fun, colorful looks I did with this palette!
