Lady Gaga Fame Black Fluid Perfume

I received this as a gift from a friend who knows I love Gaga's music. I was wary at first, not generally being a fan of "celebrity fragrances", but I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did! The smell is lovely, a rich, sweet smell that's somehow deep and not cloying. It almost reminds me of white wine. I do think the "blood and semen" thing is complete marketing nonsense, so don't let that turn you off trying it. It's actually quite wearable.
It doesn't have huge staying power, unfortunately, but for an evening out it will definitely last.

Naked II is by far the most versatile and useful eyeshadow palette I have ever owned. The shades are "naked", sure, in the sense that they're neutral in most cases, but they all have spark, personality, and oomph. Using this pallette and nothing else you can do so many variations from a simple daytime eye to a vampy, smokey, dramatic night look.
The metal case also makes it excellent for travel - toss this single palette in your travel bag along with a few bright eyeliners and you're good to go!

This product in "Barely Branded" is my go-to eye primer. It has better adhesion and lasting power than products actually marketed as a primer. It also adds a lovely sheer brightness if dabbed on by itself, great for a simple daytime look.
It does fade slightly after a very long day though, doesn't quite live up to the 24hr claim.

Honestly, I purchased this mostly as a curiosity and gimmick. I thought the brush was novel and interesting, but didn't expect anything mind-blowing. I would have been quite pleased with a decent, average mascara.
This mascara completely blew my preconceptions out of the water. The brush is definitely odd, and takes a bit of getting used to. However, once you get the hang of it the results are incredible. It lengthens and adds volume to the point where someone asked if I was wearing fake lashes. (Fair disclaimer though, my lashes are relatively long and thick to begin with, but I'm certain even shorter/thinner lashes would benefit massively from this product).
