Eau My Giddy God - Diesel - Loverdose EDP

Hey Ladies! 

I bought this lovely fragrance in the Christmas sales and I have to be honest before I bought it I wasn't that fussed. I think It was probably because I'd only tested it on paper and not skin. On the skin the fragrance warms up beautifully and lingers seductively. 

Loverdose By Diesel

. Top Notes – Mandarin Orange, Star Anise

Middle Notes – Jasmine, Gardenia and Liquorice

Base Notes – Amber, Vanilla and Woodsy Notes

It's sweet but unique and I can understand why It's popular! 

The bottle is stunning, you can stand it up on it's side but I prefer to stand it upside down like this. 

It's one of my favourite perfumes at the moment and it sits proudly on my perfume stand.

The lasting power is good, I'd say it lasts around 4 hours on me before I feel the need to re-apply. 

I've had a look online for some deals and both Superdrug and Boots have the 50ml on offer at the moment! Superdrug being the cheapest! 

Have you tried this perfume?

Updated Perfume Collection Part 2 - My Top 5

Hey Ladies!

I'm going to talk about my Top 5 fragrances as of February 2013.

The mirror they are standing on is a candle holder that I bought the other day in home bargains and I also have heart LED lights wrapped around them, they look beautiful all lit up but sadly I couldn't get a good picture of them except in day light. 

1)      Armani Code Femme

Group - Floral

Launched - 2006

Top – Bitter Orange, Italian Orange, 

Middle – Ginger and Orange Blossom , Jasmine

Base – Sandalwood, Vanilla and Honey

I smelt this in the January sales last year and new I had to buy it. It smelt wonderful to me. Sexy and mysterious but comforting and grownup too. I bought two bottle in the sales and I'm just about finished with my first.  The notes I pick up on most are Orange, Jasmine, Honey and Sandalwood  I love them all together so much that I look for them in other perfumes now to see if they would be for me.

It's my signature scent. I'm hoping to be wearing it for many years yet! 

2)      Roberto Cavalli – Roberto Cavalli EDP

Group -Oriental Floral

Launched 2012

Top – Pink Pepper

Middle -  African Orange Flower

Base – Benzoin, Vanilla and Tonka Bean

I smelt this when it first came out and fell in love, it's seductively sweet and mysteriously sexy. I can recognize it anywhere. I waited a whole year before I bought it though because I didn't want to pay full price when I knew at some point it would be half off. So I put it on my "January Sales" list. As soon as Christmas Eve came I bought it. 

I love wearing it but like to keep it for special occasions so that I don't use it up too quickly. 

3)      Vera Wang Princess Night EDT

Group - Floral Fruity

Launched 2012 

Top – Watermelon, raspberry, red berries

Middle – Rose, African Orange Flower and Jasmine

Top – Woodsy Notes, Musk, Vanilla and Sugar 

I bought this as a blind buy as it was such a good offer a few months ago. I managed to pick up a 50ml bottle from TK Maxx for £24.99 after seeing it in Boot's on the same day for £45. I'd always wanted a Vera Wang "Princess" perfume as so many people talk about it. Also I had seen the ad for this when it for came out and loved the look of it. I was really lucky because as soon as I opened the box I knew I loved it. It's a fruity scent that's just a step away from being too sickly for me but steps it up about ten minutes in by becoming a gorgeous vanilla and woods fragrance. I'm in love with it and have used up nearly half just this winter alone!  

I prefer this to the original "Princess"

4)      Diesel Loverdose EDP

Group – Oriental Vanilla

Launched 2011

Top – Manderin Orange, Star Anise

Middle – Jasmine, Gardenia and Liquorice

Base – Amber Vanilla and Woodsy Notes

Even though I don't like eating liquorice I apparently like smelling of it! 

 I think this is my most recent perfume purchase. I wasn't planning on getting it but when out sales shopping last month I came across it for £19.99. It's a very unusual scent, I haven't smelt anything like it before. It starts of extremely strong but settles nicely onto the skin creating a lovely liquorice and vanilla fragrance.

5)      Oh Lola – Marc Jacobs

Group - Floral Fruity

Launched - 2011

Top -Wild strawberry, raspberry and pear

Middle - Cyclamen, Peony,  magnolia

Base - Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Sandalwood

After trying the original Lola ages ago and hating it I always though Oh Lola would be the same. I was wrong! I absolutely adore this fragrance and its screams Spring to me for some reason so I'm hoping to wear it more in the next coming months. Which is strange as I don't usually choose what I'm wearing by what time of the year it is. I also read a review where a lady described it as smelling like "amazing hair products" and I have to agree. It smells like your hair when you step out of a salon. That may not sound very appealing but somehow to me it is :-) 

So that's the end of my Updated perfume collection....read part 1 here. 

I would love it if you could give me some suggestion on any perfumes to try out next that you think I'd like :-) 

Hope you are all having a great Weekend!

I Heart Perfume TAG!

Hullo Lovely Ladies

*Sigh...* -_- 

The Perfume obsession continues...I just watched the Eleventh Gorgeous I Heart Perfume Tag Youtube video and I loved the questions so much that I've decided to do the tag as well! 

What was the first perfume you ever purchased?

The first perfume I ever purchased myself was Valentino Rock and Rose. I bought it from Duty Free Summer of 2011. I loved it so much, it was my first high end perfume. 

What's your signature scent?

I don't really have one, I have so many different perfumes that it changes on a daily basis. I do have those certain Holy Grail perfumes though : Armani Code, Roberto Cavalli and Vera Wang Princess Night. 

What is your most recent purchase?

Loverdose by Diesel - I got it in the Boxing day/January sales. 

When I tried it when it came out about a year ago I wasn't too fussed with it but after I bought it and wore it on my skin I fell in love with it! So glad I took the chance and bought it. 

Which perfume would you wear at night time/date night?

Roberto Cavalli or Armani Code - There both very sexy and mysterious scents but strange enough they are very comforting scents too. I like to spray my scarf with them in the winter and just have a good snuggle with it :-) 

What is your favourite spring/summer scent?

For Christmas I was given Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs and I literally can't wait for spring to get here so I can start wearing it more because I feel like it's just going to be an incredible scent when the sun starts to come out!  Another great one for spring/ summer is Armani I'dole d'Armani, it's a lush crisp, spicy scent. 

If im out at night time in the Summer I love to wear Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears. It's so delicious and sexy. It's been a favourite of mine for years! 

What is your favourite fall/winter perfume?

In the fall I love to wear Tresor Midnight Rose and again in the winter I like to wear Armani Code or Roberto Cavalli. 

What is your favourite scent category? ( Floral, Fruity, Oriental, Aquatic, Gourmand)

My favourite scent category is Warm Oriental or Gourmand. I obviously like scents that are in different categories but my favourite scents seem to be either Oriental or Gourmand fragrances. 

What perfume are you currently lusting after?

I'm currently lusting after Dolce and Gabbana The One. I want it so much :-) It's exactly the kind of perfume I like, sweet but in a classy, soft subtle way.

What fragrance/Cologne do you like on your significant other? 

I don't have a significant other at present but when i'm on a night out I love a guy who wears somthing sexy. Something like Obsession by Calvin Klein or 1 Million by Paco Rabanne.

So that's my I <3 Perfumes Tag completed! 

The people I'm tagging are : 

 cotton candy fro

Juyey Bats!

&

Beauty Shades :-) 

I also tag anyone else who fancies doing it and if you do I'd love it if you left your links in the comment section :-)

Boxing Day Sales Haul!

 I tell A lie!

 I didn't actually buy any of these...on boxing day! As you may have noticed the boxing day sales have started earlier these last few years and have also lasted longer! 

So...it was Christmas eve....and we had already visited all the family and given them their presents for the morning after...my dad was in the kitchen cooking our gorgeous tea and me and my mam had settled down to watch the soaps (mainly Eastenders!) all of a sudden I thought to myself. I wonder if any stores are starting their online sales? 

It turned out they had! 

The Perfume Shop had at least! 

I've been wanting this perfume ever since it came out! 

It's the type of perfume you either love or hate. I definitely LOVE it! 

Original Price - £48.00

Sale Price - £23.99

The 50ml set is out of stock but they still have the 75ml set on sale which is also half price!

So the day after boxing day I managed to finally persuade my brother to drive me to the next town over so I could have a look at some of the local sales that where going on e.g Boot's and Superdrug :-) 

First we went to Boot's and I was kind of disappointed  I had looked on the boots website the night before and found lots of great perfume deals but the store's stock was pitiful! So we walked right on over to Superdrug and they had some better deals!

 They had the Justin Bieber set on sale, Lacoste Touch Of Pink and some others but one that drew my attention was the Diesel Loverdose. 

Not long ago I used to hate this perfume, basically because I was only smelling it on those little paper strips but once I tried it on my skin I loved it! 

This 30ml EDP set was down to £19.99 

The next thing I bought was actually not on sale but I just had to have it :-) 

Mrs Browns Boys Series 2 

My brother owns the first series and my mam owns the Live Tour so I decided to pick this up! 

It's the funniest series on TV right now and you NEED to watch it! 

Even my dad loves it and hes very picky when it comes to comedy :-) 

So that's my Sale Haul! 

Have you found any good deals recently?
