I usually do my Xmas gift shipping around this time, so I can buy gifts at the best prices. I hope you will find this post helpful and if you're interested and want to get some gift ideas, let's get right into it!

The newest collection from Huda Beauty is a must-have in everyone's beauty bag. Not only is the Rose Quartz theme so beautiful but the palette itself is truly stunning. One of the best palettes of 2021 in my opinion!

Laura Mercier's translucent setting powder has been my Holy Grail product for years now, I truly can't live without it. The best loose powder out there and this year, it's available to purchase in the cutest gift set ever.
Milani's Color Fetish lipsticks are absolutely amazing! I totally understand why this product went viral on tik-tok because their formula is really great. The Nudes Collection is too beautiful not to grab on the upcoming sales.

Although Kylie Skin products don't really target any specific skincare concerns, they are still great at being simple and gentle for the skin. My two favourites are the Vanilla Milk Toner and the Foam Cleanser and this mini gift set will allow you to try out their range without having to commit to full-sized bottles.

Why not treat him with Canarie Shirts' newest knitwear collection? Knitted from the best wools and pima cotton, they can be worn all year-round. They come in an array of colours, designs and neck styles to suit every gentleman's style and whims. Currently on offer for only £29.99!
4711 is an unisex Eau de Cologne launched in 1792. It has been comforting the body, mind and soul for more than 228 years. It's refreshing, vitalising and calming with the top notes of Lemon, Bergamot, Orange Oil, Basil and Peach. Tom Ford has actually created Neroli Portofino to smell identical to 4711 because he liked it so much. I can't think of a better gift for a special man in your life than this!
Y by YSL is a great aromatic Fougere fragrance for men launched in 2018. It has the top notes of Apple, Ginger and Bergamot, middle notes of Sage, Juniper Berries and Geranium and base notes of Amberwood, Tonka Bean, Cedar, Vetiver and Olibanum. This is such a good men fragrance, I truly can't get enough of it!

Hi, dolls!
It's been a while since my last review but I have recently caught the worst flu ever, so a little break was much needed for me. However, I am back and today I wanted to review the new Huda Beauty Rose Quartz eyeshadow palette. Thank you to Huda's team for gifting me this palette, I was super excited to try it out when I first saw it online. If you're interested to find out more all about it, let's get right into the review!

Inspired by Huda's favourite crystal, you can now fall in love at first sight with this mesmerising eyeshadow palette and embrace the energy of the rose quartz. Created to recharge your makeup bag with the beauty vibes, play and create with 18 rosy tints and earthy shades in 5 super wearable, precious textures. This powerful palette includes 8 velvety soft pigmented mattes, 3 high-shine buttery metallics, 3 pearly soft-shine metallics, 3 quartz-inspired multi-shimmer marble creams & 1 'crushed stone' pearly gloss hybrid. Designed to empower, it's never been easier to create an abundance of soft & romantic makeup looks!
Rose Quartz is Huda's first ever cool, grey-toned eyeshadow palette and it's truly so stunning! When it comes to eyeshadow formulas, I strongly believe Huda Beauty has one of the best ones out there. I find all the shadows to be super pigmented and there is minimal fall out and kick back. They feel so buttery and apply like a dream. I also seem to prefer this packaging from the cardboard one she used with her first two palettes. Not only is it 100% recyclable but also cruelty-free, fragrance-free and suitable for all skin tones.
I also wanted to show you guys how the new palette compares to her previous releases - as you can see they are all almost completely different. I've seen so many online comments saying Rose Quartz looks like a mix of the Naughty Nude and Mercury Retrograde palettes but I completely disagree. Having all 3, I can definitely say they are different and unique in their own ways. I honestly don't think pictures do Huda Beauty palettes justice because all the colours are so gorgeous and the shimmers have such an amazing pay off. I recommend applying them with your fingers for the best results!
This year is also the first year Huda Beauty has released a big holiday collection. It includes the Rose Quartz eyeshadow palette, 3 brushes, lip balm, face gloss highlighting dew and a Huda Beauty x Wishful peel-off face mask. It all comes with limited edition rose quartz packaging and is available to purchase separately from her website and retailers.
Final Thoughts
The Rose Quartz eyeshadow palette has to be one of my favourites colour-wise. It's truly so gorgeous and not only does the formula perform amazingly well but the shadows compliment my green eyes so much. It's a palette for every occasion - you can wear it everyday and on a night out. I'm still waiting for the rest of my Rose Quartz collection to arrive, so definitely stay tuned for part 2 of this review - I couldn't wait to share this beautiful palette with all of you. Seeing as both, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up, I recommend you all to try out not only the Rose Quartz but also Huda's previous palettes because I am confident you will love her amazing formulas!
Once again, thank you to Huda's team for gifting me this beautiful palette - I truly love it so much!
