5 stars out of 5

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is a nice, lighter dupe of Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy and at a much more affordable price tag! I wanted to feature this in a review of sorts today because so many of you had ordered the smaller travel spray of Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy and proceeded to email asking if I knew of a cheaper dupe because a bottle of Love, Don’t Be Shy will set you back $240. Ouch! Honestly, I do recommend the original because it’s pure marshmallow orange blossom-y joy! It’s super sweet and the perfect gourmand in my humble opinion. If you can indulge I highly recommend taking the plunge and buying the original.

However, for those that can’t or don’t want to spend that much on a bottle of fragrance Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is a nice option. Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme is actually a nice option for those that found Love, Don’t Be Shy a bit too sweet as this is a lighter, less sweet version!

What’s the One Makeup Technique You Wish You Can Master?

Do you have any makeup techniques you wish you can master? There are so many makeup techniques I wish I can master! I always wish I can do a winged eyeliner look better! I also wish I can wear a winged eyeliner look without looking like I’m playing with my mom’s makeup! I always feel like if I wear eyeshadow plus a lot of eyeliner that I look like I got caught playing in my mom’s makeup or something!

I’ve been doing this blog for ages and my makeup skills are still pretty much the same as they were when I started. I just don’t have the gift of application that some people have! I’m always constantly amazing at how well some people blend! It makes me cringe when I’m blending my own eyeshadows and they go all muddy! Everyone makes it look so very easy but I don’t think it’s easy at all!

One of the makeup techniques I really wish I can master is the gradient eyeshadow effect. I always watch these Asian bloggers and youTubers create these perfect eye looks by simply piling colors up and it comes out so perfect. It never works for me! I always end up with mud. I watched a girl apply a peachy eyeshadow all over her lid yesterday and she layered brown on top of it and somehow did some magically blending so the brown looked like it just blend into the peach. It was such a gorgeous effect. I tried it and all I got was a brown eyeshadow look.

I’m every always practicing but I don’t think I’m cut out for being a makeup artist anytime soon 🙂

How about you?

What’s one makeup technique you really wish you could master but have a hard time with?

Colourpop Love Struck 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palettes $10 Each Launching this Week

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Add the new Colourpop Love Struck Eyeshadow Palettes to my love list! At $10 each these five shade eyeshadow palettes are a nice little budget pick! Colourpop is releasing the Love Struck 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palettes in five shades on January 7th at 10AM PST. They’ll likely sell out fast so be sure to set your alarms.

Shades include:

  • Crush (warm cozy coppers)
  • Cherish (romantic cranberry tones)
  • Ballad (smokey, cool toned gunmetal)
  • Lyric (soft bronzey neutrals)
  • Amor (metallic rosey shades)

I’m pretty sure they’ll do some sort of vault with all the shades! I can see myself wanting to haul that. Pressed eyeshadows aren’t real new for Colourpop but these cutesy palettes are definitely a different design from what they normally do and these also happen to look a lot like the newly launched Wet n Wild Color Icon 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palettes which are actually cheaper at $3.99 each!

By the way, there are a few items on sale at colourpop.com for 50% off! Eyeshadow palettes, skincare, and more! Prices as low as $5!

Are the Colourpop Love Struck 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palettes on your list to pick up?
