Packaging

Love the luxurious packaging!!

Perfect for travelling!

Reptile kind of print!

Has a mirror to, as you can see in the photo below.

Comes with a double ended sponge tip applicator.

Swatches

Swatched - once or twice each

The Pure color eyeshadows are a lot more creamy and pigmented & apply a lot better than the duo.

I much prefer them to the duo. The duo was a bit hard & was less pigmented than the pure color eyeshadows.

Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise EDP Review

Pictured here is the 50mL I am currently using...



I've actually used up a bottle of this in the 30mL. This is another bottle!

I remember using this fragrance straight for like a year? Maybe more... until the 50mL bottle ran out! How long does it take to use one up? I need to find out ahhaha...

Anyways, I remember liking it really but now I find the smell a bit overwelming.

Estee Lauder Men's Fragrances - Intuition & Pleasures Review

Lauder Intuition For Men Cologne Spray/Eau De Toilette

Made in Switzerland

Shown here is the 100mL



Intuition for men is...

- very long lasting

- smells very manly and strong.

Cons
The bottle is a bit awkard and too simple - they could have done a better job with the design
 
Recommened?
Yes if you like strong manly scents that lasts a long time!
 
 
******
 
Lauder Pleasures for Men Cologne Spray
 
Made in Switzerland
 
Shown here is the 50mL bottle



Pleasures for men is...

- softer than Intuition for men though still recognisably a men's scent

- very attractive scent (I'm a female!)

Cons

- Again with the design - too simple... does not blow my mind! Simple though which is nice & I like it more then Intuition!

Recommended?

Yes - more so than Intuition for men - still lasts as long but it is more subtle and sexy!

What are your fave men's fragrances?

MAKEUP REMOVERS: Estee Lauder Vs Shiseido!

Estee Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Review

Pics:



I got this in one of the Christmas sets they have at the end of the year! :)

Oil free
Fragrance Free
100mL
Made in USA


Pros
- Gentle
- Elegant packaging

Cons
- doesn't remove off all of my waterproof mascara
- hurts the skin around my eyes a bit after I keep rubbing to try to remove the mascara
- Price

Would I repurchase?
No



Shiseido The Skincare Instant Eye and Lip Makeup Remover

This can be added to my PROJECT ALL PAN... :) I finished this product the other day!

Pics:

I got this as a GWP - it is 30mL.

Made in USA


I have never used this on my lips though, so I don't know how that would work, but I think it would work brilliantly since...


Pros
- removes most of my waterproof mascara (not all, but I guess the mascaras I use are stubborn? How stubborn can Maybelline be though?)
- I like the packaging - won't break if you drop it & the opening is good

Cons
- Doesn't remove all of my eye makeup
- Price... the full size of 125mL is AU$54.00

Would I repurchase?
Yes! This will definately be in a future haul! :) It is my favourite of the moment and I don't think I can find anything better... do you have any recommendations?


What is your favourite makeup remover?
