• Marina Rinaldi “Marina Rinaldi” (Eau de Parfum) •

In the beginning of November, Marina Rinaldi – definitely one of my favorite brands for classy plus-size fashion – released their first fragrance. I was offered a personalized flacon of the perfume, with my name on it – and you guys know how much I love everything with my name on it (just remember my → summer hat!). ;)

I think it’s always kind of interesting when clothing brands (without a beauty line) or celebrities launch their own fragrance. Especially celebs have mostly disappointed me by creating horribly sweet and extremely heavy scents I just can’t stand because I get a bad headache. But there were a few brand perfumes which actually surprised me because it’s simply something new, something you don’t really expect from them – and there has to be a great perfumer behind the whole thing. ;)

To be honest, I don’t know everything about the story of this fragrance, but the information I received was enough to make me curious. :) So when I picked up my bottle at the Marina Rinaldi store in Hamburg, I was happy to already get the first smell of it – and I was absolutely delighted!

Today, I want to share my review of this amazing perfume with you.

The latest palette from Urban Decay, the → “XX Vice LTD Reloaded”, has quickly become a favorite in my collection. Unlike in my → last palette review (the one of Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani), which included mostly natural colors, this is a very colorful palette and perfect for special looks. I’ve already done a few make-ups with it (unfortunately, we didn’t shoot all of them) and all I can say is: I love it and I’m convinced that it is a palette for everyone who loves colors, and everybody should find some favorites in it. If you love UD and their creations, this palette shouldn’t be missing in your collection! :)
