Missguided Announce Three New Perfumes

I adore perfumes and all things fragrance and without question, one of the most searched for perfumes on my blog is Babe Power from Missguided which I featured in my gift guides. Now, hoping to continue on from the success of Babe Power, Missguided have announced there are to be three new fragrances and I have two of them to share with you.
Missguided Announce Three New Perfumes
Keeping in the style that proved so popular with Babe Power, Boss Babe, Babe Dreams and Babe Oud all come housed in a luxe, chrome can complete with a ring pull spray button. Designed to be fun, different and out there, one thing is for sure, these cans are just divine. I love that they are different to the norm and I hadn't expected to be impressed by Babe Power and was proven wrong, so I had high hopes for these.
Missguided Announce Three New Perfumes
The first fragrance I have been using is Boss Babe and it is described as having a scent that matches your personality leaving you ready to face anything the day throws at you. Boss Babe is a fruity floral and is just perfect for that warm Summer Day.  It opens with notes of Bergamot and Pear with accents of Pistachio thrown in and upon the first spritz, it is the fruitiness of the notes which spring to life.  The middle notes of Rose Accord, Almond Milk, Orange Blossom and Magnolia and for me, it is at this point the fragrance come to life because the mixture of Rose and Orange Blossom really give it some life.  As it settles, the notes of Patchouli, Amber, Sweet Tonka, Vanilla, Musk and Creamy Sandalwood come through and thankfully the Vanilla and Musk don't overshadow the rest of the notes.

Babe Dreams which comes packaged in a pink can is described as being dreamy femininity and it belongs with the Chypre family of scents.  It opens with Bergamot, pink pepper and fruity red accords which give it a really fruity scent to open with before the heart notes of Velvety Rose and Orris with Violet are released and again it is at this point that the florals meet the fruit notes and combine to make a fragrance which is perfect for a hot day. The base notes of Patchouli, Amber and Vanilla settle the perfume down.

The third fragrance which I don't have is called Babe Oud which Missguided describe as being for feeling exotic times as there is a rich middle eastern aroma.  It opens with baies Roses, Bergamot, Lemon and orange alongside a dash of red fruit and Neroli.  The Heart notes are of Geranium with Jasmine, Oud, Black Pepper, Roses and Saffron, alongside a leather quality.  The Base notes are of Amber, Cedar, Kashmir Fusion, Musk, Patchouli, Tonka and Vetiver.  All of the scents I like in one fragrance and all notes you find included in expensive fragrances found in stores like Harrods where you pay an exorbitant amount of money. 

Each of these fragrances will retail at £28 for an 80ml can and it launches in June with The Fragrance Shop, Superdrug and Boots.

Feral Cosmetics Ultra Satin Lipsticks

Hailing from Los Angeles is Feral Cosmetics, a cruelty-free and vegan beauty brand which can be found on Beauty Chamber here in the UK and their range consists of two different lip products.  The first is the Liquid Matte Lipsticks which I reviewed here and today I am sharing my thoughts on the Ultra Satin Lipsticks.

Described as being bold and highly pigmented these lipsticks are packaged inside a silver aluminium casing which has a magnetic closure which is I really like. The case itself is quite weighty with the brand name Feral clearly visible. There are five shades in total and they are fully opaque which I wasn't expecting at all. On the lips, they literally glide without dragging and they are really smooth and creamy not to mention long-lasting.  I love the difference between each of the five shades and they include:

  • Rapture is the perfect Autumn berry shade and I absolutely love it. There is a slight plum undertone to it and it is just divine. 
  • Envy is the perfect blue toned red which makes your teeth look white.  I am still not confident enough to wear a red lipstick, but this one is just stunning.
  • Fetish is a beautiful pinky coral shade and it has Summer written all over it. Applies like a dream and is just a beautiful shade.
  • Rose By Goar is a slightly different name but it was exclusively designed and developed in collaboration with the World Famous Goar Avetisyan. Goar developed this colour for herself and for her to use on brides. It is a beautiful blush pink which would flatter most skin tones.
  • Euphoric is for me a bit of a lavender shade, not quite pink but not quite lilac either, it is somewhere in the middle. It dries quite matte, so if you have dry lips, it settles in the lines.

As you can see there is quite the array of shades and Rapture and Rose by Goar are the two I have been wearing the most.

I absolutely love Euphoric and wish it was the shade I could pull off and look cook, but sadly I don't.

Each one of these lipsticks retails for just £12.95 which is an absolute bargain and you can find out more information on brand right here.

Lime Crime Launches on Feelunique

Described as being a 'bold makeup brand for anyone who wants to express themselves unapologetically' Lime Crime has launched at Feelunique and there are so really intriguing products to get your hands on. Whether you like your bold, bright colours or something for neutral and natural, Lime Crime has something for everyone. With products for the lips, eyes, face, hair and brushes that make you ooh and ah, I was kindly sent a few products from the range and trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The first item is the much coveted Lime Crime Venus III Eyeshadow Palette, something I have seen all over my media feed. Housed inside a beautiful lavender and rose gold box featuring a depiction of Venus, it is made of quite a sturdy cardboard with magnetic closing and also features a mirror which takes up the entire lid, it is almost Kitschy in looks and very instagrammable. Featuring eight shades which are either matte, shimmering matte, glowing and metallic shades the tagline 'grunge gets pretty' couldn't describe this better any more perfectly.

The shades:
  • Dreamy – Mauve matte.
  • Beam – Lit lilac with pink shift (iridescent shimmer).
  • Heavenly – Rich rose gold with iridescent shimmer.
  • Rapture – Soft blush with a blue shimmer shift.
  • Ecstasy – Dried fig matte.
  • Paradise – Bright fuchsia with blue glow.
  • Bliss – Rosewood matte.
  • Beloved – Minky lavender brown metallic.
I tend to gravitate naturally towards heavenly, Rapture and Beloved because they are within my comfort zone but there is no denying that all of these shades are just stunning.

Priced at £34, I think this is a bit of a bargain.

Next comes Lime Crime Unicorn Lipstick in shade Glittercity which is exclusive to Feelunique. Described as being a 'glitter-packed lipstick which is infused and dipped in glitter, when used it is a stunning iridescent pink-violet sheen which looks so pretty, especially when the sun catches it.

Glittercity is made with sunflower and rosemary extracts, it glides on smooth and stays kiss-proof for hours and for me, this is the kind of lipstick which can be worn alone, it is pigmented enough but it is also a lipstick that I wear over the top of others to create that glittery shine. Presented inside a holographic Unicorn-decorated tube which is just as stunning as the outer box and it costs just £15.

Finally, I was sent a Lime Crime 'Try Me Kit' of Unicorn Hair Semi-Permanent Hair Colour which is perfect for anyone wanting to channel their inner unicorn.

With 27 shades listed, there are seven available from Feelunique to choose from and they could include: 
  • Valentine - Crimson Red, 
  • Leeloo - Traffic-stopping orange, 
  • Bubblegum Rose - Warm Rose Pink, 
  • Pony - Electric Violet Purple, 
  • Anime - Candy Blue
Described as being semi-permanent vegan hair colour, it is also ultra-conditioning. it washes out gradually and is said to fade gracefully.  At times like this, I wish I could dye my hair of these amazing colours, but sadly I cannot.  Priced at £13 for 200ml.

For me, this has been such a great introduction to a brand I knew very little about and to find it is so affordable and available is a huge plus!
