Mary Kay Enchanted Wish

Enchanted Wish is the captivating new scent from Mary Kay.

Priced at a ridiculously reasonable £29 for a generous 60ml sized bottle, I’d part with my cash purely for the bottle.

Just look at this stunning piece of art!

Captured within a multi-faceted bottle with a soft blue hue it really is the cap that steals all the attention.

Whimsical, undeniably feminine and just simply gorgeous the cap is essential the head of a flower. 

Its soft purple colour radiates through it curves and contrasts the blue of the bottle perfectly.

The scent itself was inspired by women who find enchantment in the everyday and this fragrance is indeed very enchanting and alluring itself. 

Enchanted Wish opens with top notes of juicy granny smith apple, orange oil Brazil, white pineapple and sweet and soft candied petals.

Charming and intriguing, these notes give way to stargazer lily, radiant peony, fresh ozone and sweet passion fruit.

They add an almost fresh, light-heartedness element to the scent while base notes of decadent brown sugar, warm amber and illuminating musk wrap the notes together to create a fragrance that manages to capture a beguiling and enticing scent that is nothing like I would have imagined.

To look at the bottle (and I know they say never judge a book by its cover but sometimes you can when it comes to fragrances)  I was fully expecting a heady, romantic but ultimately floral scent and this is not at all what Enchanted Wish is.

Fresh, fruity and sweet it is a gorgeous spring time scent.

Mary Kay’s Enchanted Wish EDT is available now and costs £29 for 60ml.

Morgan Taylor The Colour of Petals Collection

 Step into a floral bouquet this spring with Morgan Taylor’s beautiful new The Colour of Petals collection.

Inspired by the soft and subtle colours of the gorgeous petals that are beginning to bloom at this time of year the polishes provide the perfect colourful yet subtle springtime look.

The collection comprises of six shades from plush pastels in shades of pretty pinks, toned-down nudes and pops of creamy peach and muted purples.

CEO and founder Fanny Haile says;

The colour palette for the upcoming spring collection is filled with soft tomes that are perfect, not only for this season but for all year round. Each shade was create with showcase Morgan Taylor’s range of pinks and nudes for all of the classic beauties who love mail colour.

I feel like this collection could have been made for me. I don’t tend to wear nail polish on account of the issues I’ve had with dermatitis on my hands (long story, lets not go there but hence why I haven’t swatched on my nails) but when I do I’m all about the pinks and nudes!

It’s actually almost impossible to choose my favourite shade from this range and this never happens with complete collections!

They look truly stunning to regard, heavy glass bottles with a soft grey lid embossed with MT on the very top.

When I went to photograph them I actually struggled to tell some of the shades apart when lining them up they are that soft and subtle and it isn’t until you see their true colours swatched that you can see and appreciate their real beauty.

Merci Bouquet

Up first is the stunning lilac crème shade Merci Bouquet. I mean, it’s a gorgeous soft lilac which is almost pastel in softness.

Gardenia to my Heart

Next is Gardenia to my Heart, a dusty rose crème which I THINK could be my favourite shade. It’s the perfect blend of dusty pink and nude and just gorgeous!

I feel Flower-ful

I Feel Flower-ful is described as a light nude crème but I’d actually say this is closer to a very soft, pale pink and definitely fought my affection for first place in terms of preference of colour.

Young, wild and Free-sia

Young, Wild and Free-sia is the brightest of the collection with its soft peach tones. I’d describe it as a pastel coral, if there is such a thing!

Follow the petals

Follow The Petals is the only pearlised polish in the collection and is a distinctly pearly pink shade, brightest of all the other pinks and lightest in colour for sure.

Strike a posie

Last but by no means least is Strike a Posie, a very pretty blush pink shade. It’s the truest pink of the range and is a really gorgeous pastel addition to round off a stunning collection.

These are high quality polishes and you can tell that from the moment you apply them.

Developed for professionals by professionals, all pigments are saturated, pure and finely milled and free from formaldehyde, and DBP. The payoff is smooth, even, long-lasting colour with a gorgeous professional finish.

Bobbi Brown Lilac Rose Collection

Lilac Rose is the beautiful new collection from cult brand Bobbi Brown.

Described  as a modern take on spring floral, the range comprises of a new eye palette, shimmer brick, 3 new lipgloss shades, a new sparkle eye shadow shade, a new blush and new nail polish.

 

Dusty, vintage lilacs and heathers contrast beautifully with the bright and vibrant pinks and purples to create a stunning collection and look.

The Lilac Rose Eye Palette (£45) is hands down one of the most beautiful palettes I’ve ever seen.

All eight of the shadows are gorgeous, spring-like, wearable shades.

Swatch from top quad

Normally you get the odd one or two dud shades in a palette, but every single one of these bad boys are gorgeous!

Swtach from bottom quad

Shades: Ivory Eye Shadow, Heather Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Pale Rose Eye Shadow, Dusty Lilac Eye Shadow, Barely There Eye Shadow, Black Chocolate Eye Shadow, Stormy Grey Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Pink Lily Metallic Eye Shadow.

I love the new lip gloss in Pink Lily (£17).

 

It is bright, vivid shade which is scented with a delicate hint of vanilla.

It doesn’t just look good as extracts of Avocado, Jojoba, Chamomile Oils and Aloe extract work to keep your lips soft and supple. 

  The new Limited edition Nail Polish shade in Roza (£11) compliments the collection with its stunning pale heather pink shade.

The Bobbi Brown Lilac Rose Collection is available now.
