The Balm NUDE'tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette



Today I am back with a review of this eyeshadow palette that I have been using for a little while now. I actually won it in from Brigitte Hayley’s YouTube channel giveaway earlier in the year and have been so pleased with the quality of this product. I love the quirky packaging and the fun names for each eyeshadow colour. I’ve been mostly going for Stand Offish, Sultry, Selfish and Seductive which are mid-range nude shades in both matte and shimmers. I absolutely love the choice of all the shades, except maybe Serious which is a very dark tone I just haven’t reached for yet. The pigmentation is out of this world, and a little goes a long way. The only thing I would say is there can be a little fallout when reaching for the product with a brush.

Other thoughts on the packaging are its really light weight with it being made from strong card and there is a huge mirror enclosed which is an extra surprise. It would be good for travelling for these reasons. I look out for products being cruelty-free, and on their website it says they are as well as paraben-free. If you are after buying this product, I suggest heading over to Superdrug online as they offer free delivery if you have a beauty card. The palette retails for £29.99 which is pricey but you could treat it as an investment for the year ahead. I can also imagine any lady from a teen to adult would love to find this in their Christmas stocking! I hope you enjoyed this review….link to item here.

Which shade from this palette do you favour? What is your go-to eyeshadow palette? :-) Xx

Fruity Shower Gel Collection Gift Set


Hope you are all having a wonderful December so far – todays post is a review of a shower gel gift set by the Superdrug brand Fruity. It’s currently been reduced from £6 to £4 online and if you have a Superdrug points card postage is free. I’ve been enjoying sampling the different scents included, my favourite being cherry and almond but they are all lovely. Others include orange and satsuma, lemon and tea tree, strawberry and raspberry, lime and ginger and last but not least coconut. I was expecting the bottles to be a little bit smaller so was happy to find the portions are a generous size but still good to fit in a travel bag. Each bottle is 100ml and includes the cruelty-free bunny logo which is a big plus.



I gifted this gorgeous set for myself after running low on shower gel, it’s a good way to stock up and have been loving it ever since. I like that they have included lots of different fragrances so there is something for everyone. This would make a great secret Santa gift or a stocking filler for a friend or family member. You could also spilt the gift into six mini treats too. The packaging is really colourful and would brighten up a bathroom shelf. I think the brand is really underrated especially as they offer a cruelty-free option. I have some shampoo and conditioner from them too which I can’t wait to try.
