Boots No 7 Glamourous Nudes Eye Palette - Holiday 2017




 I can't even begin with how nice this new eye palette from No 7 Boots is. The pics cannot do the outside case justice.

The Glamourous Nudes Palette is very glam, looking and  my pics can't do it justice. It's very Art Deco vintage luxe with a teal metallic look top that has a starburst .

The compact measures 4x4 inches and inside is a kaledicsope of  eight shades , all very wearable and  pretty.


 The best part ? It's only $ 14 . You would expect something that looks like this to be double that. I think it's quite a bargain and an excellent gift idea.

Grab it at Walgreens .

Lavanila Elements Vanilla + Earth Deodorant



Lavanila is known for their natural deodorants. Now they have a new line, The  Elements Collection with a blend of fragrances that are tuned into the elements of Earth, Water and Air .

I have Vanilla + Earth which adds patchouli, sandalwood to  the vanilla. Don't worry here  about a super fragranced deo though. The notes here are light  and use pure essential oils. You get the smallest hint of  the notes . It all blends into  a softly spiced herbal scent.

If you're not familiar with Lavanila ,  these are all natural ingredients , no aluminum, parabens or other harsh chemical and no animal testing. They leave under arms smelling nice and last pretty well .


Other scents are  Vanilla + Air - light floral of violet and rose , and Vanilla + Water with chamomile and jasmine.

These are LE and  will be available at Ulta for $ 14 each.

Commodity 3x3 Exploration Set


Commodity fragrances 's holiday set is perfect to acquaint yourself with the brand or grab portable minis if you're already a fan.

The box set contains 3 each EDP fragrances in 5ml and 2.5 oz votive candles in Orris, Book and Tea.  Yes, Commodity has candles now.


Orris is an earthy iris spiked with spices for a warmer feel than  you usually see in Iris scents. As it dries down it's woodsy( you can smell the pathchouli and cedarwood) then a little vanilla mixes with the orris.

Tea is sweet and a little smoky.  Honey ,oolong tea,  rose , tobacco and sandalwood feature prominiently.  It's quite pretty and my favorite of the trio .  Very much a scent that  adds warmth to a cool day.



Book is dry , and does smell like old paper and antique books which partially comes from the eucalyptus note. Cedarwood adds to that along with cypress and amber. It's very woodsy in a not so woodsy way.


The set is beautifully presented in a minimalist looking gift box covered with an outer sleeve .  The candles are hand poured and soy based and the fragrances are unisex.

At $ 38 this a bargain for all you get. It's only at Sephora and LE.
