Ultra Mattes v2 Darks i-Divine Palette

mattes v2
I did mentioned that I wanted a matte palette here. I know MUA came out with one, but when I was purchasing this, it has not come out. Besides I wanted to try Sleek. There were so many choices to choose from, but I end up deciding on the matte v2. I find that the color is much more wearable than v1. But it still is extremely colorful for my standard.
The packaging is really sleek. Quite thin and sturdy. I have a hard time opening it cause it's just tight? Will be good for traveling as it's very secure. I also like that it has a big mirror. It comes with dual ended sponge tip brush, which can be useful if you need to use it straight away. There's also a clear plastic sheet that separate the shadows from the mirror. It has all the name of the shadows which is nice, but it can be a pain to keep it in the palette.

So these are the colors. It's pretty. I don't know if you can see from the swatch that its not consistent. Some are more powdery than others, some are really smooth to the touch. I love the smoothness of eye shadows. Even though I hardly use my fingers to apply and can't feel them, so I don't know why it mattered.
Orbit - a dark teal, smooth but powdery
Ink - dark blue (like pen ink)
Highness - a light purple (not pigmented)
Noir - black, powdery and has fallout
Dune - yellow beige, really smooth
Pillow talk - white, smooth
Thunder - grey with silver undertone
Maple - light maroon
Flesh - skin tone
Paper bag - honey brown
Villan - burgundy, quite powdery
Fern - forest green, quite powdery

I can get away without a primer, but I just like with primer the colors are more vibrant and they stay put longer. I don't have a problem with it fading before I have to remove them. Flesh and Dune doesn't really show up on my lids. I still can use Dune to highlight or just as a base. But Flesh is useless on me, so that's the only downer.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
