April Favourites 2014

Hi ladies! 

It's time for my monthly favorites post and I've loved a lot of amazing products these last few months but here's a few I really want to talk about. 

The Body Shop Blue Corn 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Mask - I used this product when I know my skin needs a deep clean, whether it's because I happened to sleep in my makeup after a night out or my skins is just feeling super awful. It's great for getting rid of flaky dry skin and gives me a super soft face! 

Sleek Brow Kit in Dark - I never really paid much attention to my brows, about a year ago I bought an MUA eyebrow pencil but never really liked it. Recently though I've decided that like filling in my brows and started using some eye shadow to do it. That then got me interested in brow products and after reading reviews after reviews I settled on the Sleek Brow Kit, as soon as I first tried it I knew It was love! I use it now in nearly every makeup look, whether its a dramatic brow or a more natural brow. Either way I love them :-) I definitely recommend this product!  

Urban Decay Naked 3 Eye Shadow Brush - This isn't my first Urban Decay Brush, I enjoy using the one I received with the Naked 1 palette but I really love this one in particular. I use it for both eye shadow and concealer. On one end you have a blending brush and on the other end you have a more smaller brush to use for precise application. 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - I've been using this foundation for awhile now, this is my second bottle. I love it because it's great for my dry skin, gives a lovely healthy look and a medium coverage depending on how you apply it. It's also a great colour match for me as it has a good colour range. 

Maybelline Falsies Mascara - For years I've used the Maybelline Colossal Mascara off and on, but I always heard how great the Falsies one was and when I got the chance to pick it up last month I did. I really love it, It's great. I still love the Colossal but for now I think I'll stick to this one. It's great for building up both volume and length. 

Rimmel Apocalips - Right now I only have the shades Nova and Big Bang but I'm hoping to get more :-) I absolutely adore these lip lacquers. They're so pigmented and smooth to go on. Big Bang is my favourite to use when I fancy a bright lip. I definitely suggest it to any red lipstick lovers out there. 

Roberto Cavalli EDP - I've loved this perfume since the moment I smelt it in store when It was released. It smells amazing and if you like white floral and/or oriental fragrances then I suggest trying this one out. 

So those are my favorites for this month! What were yours?

Updated Perfume Collection Post - 2014

Hullo Ladies!

I do this post around this time every year, firstly because I love talking about perfume and secondly because my collection is constantly changing as I love trying out new scents. 

I keep most of my perfumes in a box by the side of my bed but I also keep a few of my favorites on a mirrored plate as I just think they look amazing center stage on my bookshelf :-) 

Very Wang Princess - I bought this from Amazon last year for a steal. It's still very cheap so if you love this perfume I suggest having a look! I didn't smell this perfume for ages because for some reason I had it in my head that I wouldn't like it much. I love the Night version though so after seeing it for such a great price I decided to take the chance and I'm so glad I did. It's fresh, girly, last ages and every time I get sniff of myself when I wear it I feel beautiful. Some of the notes in the perfume are Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Guava and Water Lilly. I will be repurchasing this fragrance, I'm already half way though!!! 

Thierry Mugler Alien - I'm smelling this everywhere lately. It's very popular. I picked it up in Bristol Airport for an amazing offer and I'm so glad I did. It an amazing scent and I get lot's of compliments when I wear it. Also a cheesy chat up line that I'm not going to repeat on here for fear you'll nearly throw up just like I nearly did! Anyway back to the perfume. This is probably the longest lasting and most powerful smelling fragrance I own. It last for ever on clothing. The only notes in this fragrance apparently are Jasmine, Amber and Woods. I would repurchase this fragrance. 

Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDT - I picked this one up on the plane coming back home from Portugal last year. It's a gorgeous fresher version of the EDP but has the same base. Very sweet and girly. I love it. Some of the notes are Tangerine, Pink Pepper, Patchouli, Freesia, Cashmere Woods and Amber.  I would repurchase this fragrance. 

Dior J'Adore EDP - This years Christmas present and I absolutely love it. It was in my recent Favourites post. It's fresh and womanly. Some of the notes are Mandarin, Pear, Jasmine, Violet and Ceder. I would repurchase this perfume, I can imagine it becoming a staple in my collection. 

Chanel Chance EDT - This was my 21st Birthday present from my Brother. We both smelt it whilst shopping for something for my mam's Birthday months before and he offered to get it for me for my 21st. Of course I spent the rest of the year reminding him about it *lot's of hint's* and he bought it for me! I love this perfume, it's sensual and spicy. Some of the notes are Patchouli, Pink Pepper, Lemon, Pineapple, Iris and Vetiver. I would re-purchase this perfume although I think  I'll try the EDP version next time to see if it last a bit longer. This one has decent lasting power but I expected more from a brand like Chanel. 

Dolce & Gabbana The One Desire - This is my most recent perfume, it's a gorgeous sweet floral that I've just become addicted to since purchasing it. I'm pretty sure this is a limited edition fragrance so I'm going to be gutted when they discontinue it. I do also love the "The One " fragrance so I'll have to get that one next time. The notes in this perfume are Caramel, Tuberose, Litchi, Vanilla and Sandalwood. 

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck  - I bought this from Superdrug for a great price last September. I love it! It's super fruity but also very distinctive and unique. Some of the notes are Raspberry, Vanilla, Peach, Blackberry, Tea and Sandalwood. It's only downside is it's lasting power, so you do have to top up throughout the day. I have the big 100ml bottle so I find this hard to carry around my handbag. I still love it though so I think I would repurchase this but a smaller bottle so I can keep it in my bag for when I reapply. 

Vera Wang Princess Night - I love this scent, just as much as the Original. It was my first Princess perfume. I bought it as a blind buy from TK Maxx over a year ago for a great price. It's very sweet, long lasting and fruity. Some of the notes are Watermelon, Raspberry, Vanilla. woodsy notes and sugar. I would repurchase this perfume.

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire -  I picked up this EDT in the Boots January sales this month, I've only worn it once so far so I can't give you a good idea on how much I like it yet but I'll do a better review for you all soon. 

Carolina Herrera 212 VIP - This is another one I recently purchased in the sales. Some of the notes are Passionfruit, vanilla and rum. It's a really unique scent.  Yeah get a burst of passion  fruit at the beginning and then you get a sexy rum scent that almost slightly masculine.  I love it though. I suggest you try this one out in store! I would repurchase. 

Diesel Loverdose - I bought this in last year's boxing day sales for a great price and it smells bloody amazing, I just keep forgetting I have it though! I'm gonna start keeping it in my handbag. Some of the notes are Vanilla, Liquorice, Star Anise, Jasmine, Mandarin Orange and Amber. I would repurchase this scent. 

Roberto Cavalli EDP -  This was instant love for me. Sexy. Sexy. Sexy. I remember smelling it when it first came out but it was way to expensive, so I'd try it on every time I went into a perfume store and waited patiently until the gift set went on sale after Christmas. It's a stunning, syrupy scent. The notes are Orange Flower, Tonka Bean, Pink Pepper, Vanilla and Benzoin. I would definitely repurchase. 

Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli - My Mam bought me this and I think of her when I smell it because I wore it on her birthday and then again when we went on holiday a few months ago. It's gorgeous and I've had many compliments when wearing it. The notes are Tiare Flower, Neroli and Rosewood. If you're a fan of Alien then I highly suggest checking it out. I would repurchase this perfume. 

Nina Ricci L'Elixir - I bought this last Summer. It was a blind buy and although I don't dislike it it's not my favourite. It's just okay for day to day wear. The Notes are Red berries, lemon, jasmine and musk. It's smells like red gummy bears to me :-) I wouldn't repurchase.  

Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose -  Dark Floral Scent, I have to admit I bought this because of the AD. Remember? Emma Watson. Cute guy chasing her, trying to give her back her hat? Have a look here. Anyway back to the perfume. It's very floral and musky and has a strong raspberry note. Although I always thought it was blackberrys. Sadly the fruity note doesn't last that lung and your left with a musky rose scent which isn't my favourite so when I wear it I always need to reapply it. Which then makes me afraid i've used too much. I have received many compliments when wearing it though so it's worth you checking it out. I wouldn't repurchase this scent. 

TBS Shea - Very clean and comforting. Very Unisex. If you like the smell of the body butter, you'll love this. I would repurchase. 

TBS Mango - Oh My God. This is my second bottle. I wish they made it in bigger sizes. I could bathe in this. Smells exactly like the Butter and Scrub. Would repurchase again and again. 

TBS Strawberry - Hmmm. I'm not that much of a fan of it so far. I find it rather musky and it doesn't last long. Don't think I'd repurchase. 

TBS Satsuma - Smells like the Satsuma products, a very citrusy scent. Where the Mango is very sweet this is very refreshing. Don't think I'd repurchase. 

TBS Japanese Cherry Blossom - This is another recent purchase and I haven't worn it a lot to give a good review but i can tell you it's fresh and floral.  The notes are Cherry Blossom, Magnolia and apple. I don't know yet whether I would repurchase or not.

TBS Vanilla - Strong. Very Strong. I find this to much to wear all over but I do like just spritzing my hair with it so that it naturally just wofts around when I move my head. Instead of constanlty being there. It is a nice vanilla scent though if you like vanilla and you can get it really cheap. I picked it up for a few quid in the sale. I would repurchase. 

Marc Jacobs Oh! Lola - This was a Christmas Present the year before last and I'm about half way through it, it's very fresh and bright. A mixture of Fruit and Florals. Some of the notes that stand out to me are Wild Strawberry, Raspberry, Magnolia and Sandalwood.  I like it for the Spring and Summer but I don't think I'd repurchase it as I really want to try some of the other Marc Jacobs perfumes first. 

Michael Kors Very Hollywood - I was given this as a Birthday present from a friend a few years ago and it's lovely. It's floral which is different than what I usually go for but it has a deepness to it due to the notes. Some of the notes are : Mandarin, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Vetiver and Amber. My Mam loves this one and keeps sneaking a few spritz every now and then :-)  I would repurchase this perfume. 

Armani Code - This has been a favourite for a long time. It's quite expensive so I do savor my bottle and only wear it when I really want to or one special occasions. It's a strange mixture of mystery and comfort to me. The notes are Italian Orange, Honey, Ginger, vanilla and sandalwood. I would repurchase this. 

Armani Idole d'Armani - This was a surprise find for me, I was in the Boot's store and have a look around there perfumes and noticed this was on clearance at a really great price. This one has very similar notes to Code but smells a lot more fresher and spicy. One note I really pick up on is juicy pear. Smells lovely. I would repurchase but I think they have discontinued this fragrance. Although you can probably find it somewhere online. 

So that's my perfume collection right now!

Thankfully my recent obsession with fragrances seems to have taken a back seat for Blushers, hope it last for some time yet!

The When It Rains Beauty Awards 2013 :-)

Hey Guys! 

Last year I did a kind of "Best of 2012" post but this year I wanted to jazz it up a little so today I decided to talk about one product from each beauty category that I feel stood out to me this year. So I'm calling it the When It Rains Beauty Awards. WRBA!

I'll be picking out some products that have been talked about frequently on this blog over the last year.

So Here we go!

Starting with...

 Nails!

The Award For "Nail Polish of The Year" must go to the Maybelline Mint For Life nail polish.

Picture Taken From Google

I have my own bottle here but I can't seem to find a picture of it on it's own on my computer.

It's a gorgeous opaque mint nail polish that has been on many bloggers monthly favourites this year. It's looks great on and I re-applied it many times this past Summer. 

Body Lotion

The "Body Lotion Of The Year" Award Goes To.....Palmers Cocoa Butter!!!

This is a product that's been around for ages but I first tried it earlier in the year when I sampled it from a magazine and just had to own it for myself. It smells amazing and really does help with dry skin! 

Face

The "Face Product Of The Year Award" Goes To Revlon Colorstay!

Revlon Colorstay has been around for a few years now and only this year did I try it out, I fell in instant love. It very workable even for my dry skin and the colour match is great!

Lips

The award for the "Lip Product Of The Year" goes too...

Maybelline Colorsensational Vivid in Neon Red!

The whole Maybelline Vivids line is amazing and I wish we had the whole range here in the UK but my favourite out of what we do have and also my favourite lip product from the whole year is the Neon Red lipstick. It's pigmented, flattering and moisturising. Everything you want really out of a red lipstick. Apparently it's also a dupe for Lady Danger from MAC!

Eye's

The award for "Eye Product Of The Year" goes to..Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze

A savior for days when you want a bit of eyeshadow on but haven't got the time or patience. You just wipe some on with a finger or brush, blend and that's it you're ready to go. I really want to get some more of these and I'm interested in the Bourjois versions too. 

Hair

The award for " Hair Product Of The Year" has to go to the Remington Pearl Curling Wand. 

I love this curling wand. It's my favourite and I know a lot of other people love the Remington Wands. Over the last year I've enjoyed curling my hair and this Christmas I received a new bigger version of this wand! Can't wait to see if it's as good as this one :-)

Perfume

The Award for "Favourite Perfume Of The Year" Goes To....Just Cavalli By Roberto Cavalli

I seem to be a fan of most Roberto Cavalli Scents but this one really snuck up on me. When I first tried it I wasn't fussed but then I was given it as a gift and after wearing it for a few hours I grew to like it more and more. In fact this year it's become one of my most worn fragrances. It's unique, long lasting and exceptionally beautiful! I took it on holiday with me and it was surprisingly a great scent for both the night and day, it fit well on a beach and in a pub. What more could you need from a perfume? 

So there you go, those are my top products of 2013!

What were yours?

Eau My Giddy God : Roberto Cavalli - Just Cavalli EDT

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

I seem to have a thing for Roberto Cavalli fragrances, each one I've tried I've loved.

Just Cavalli was released February this year (2013).

It's categorized on Fragrantica as a Floral fragrance, but don't be put off as it's a lot more interesting than that. 

My mother bought me this perfume a few months back and it first even though I liked it, It wasn't something I loved. Then after wearing it a few times it really grew on me and now it's a favourite. 

It's a sexy, mature scent.

One of the interesting things about this perfume is that it only contains three notes.

 Neroli

Tahitian Tiare Flower

Palisander Rosewood

Another interesting thing is that although it's an EDT, the lasting power is amazing. I used it for my Mothers Birthday dinner and I can still smell it on the coat I wore that night.

So that's Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli fragrance, it's definitely worth a try if your a fan of scents like, the original Roberto Cavalli, Alien or Armani Code. 

Have you tried this fragrance? 

What's your favourite perfume at this moment?

My Summer Top 5 Series - Perfumes!

Hullo Ladies!

This is a post about my favourite summer scents!

For Summer days and Summer nights :-) 

Just Cavalli by Roberto Cavalli - I gorgeous white floral with notes of  Tiare Flower, Neroli and Rosewood. It's gorgeous for a night out. Sexy, grown up and unique!

Mango EDT by The Body Shop - I stunning burst of mango sweetness, great and refreshing for those hot days in the sun. I've nearly finished my new bottle I love it that much, if only they made a larger size! 

Soap and Glory Girligo Moisturizing Body Spray - Technically not a perfume but it's such a gorgeous scent with great staying power that I wear it by itself like a perfume. It's the typical Soap and Glory scent so if you love the smell of The Righteous Butter  then you'll love this!

Armani Code Femme by Giorgio Armani - One of my signature perfumes, I've been in love with it for years. It's sexy and mysterious. Great for wearing all year round but I love it on a summer night out. Has notes of Italian Orange, Honey, Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Sandalwood. 

Miami Glow by Jennifer Lopez - This has been a favourite holiday scent for me for years. It's just an amazing tropical fragrance. Has notes of Coconut Milk, Passion Fruit, Pink Grapefruit, Vanilla, Orange Blossom and Musk. 

So those are my favourite Summer fragrances! 

What are yours?

June Favourites 2013

Hullo Ladies!

It's that time again, so I'm gonna show you some of the products I've been loving lately :-)

Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1 wash and mask - I've used this for years and still love it. It's great to use as a mask for those stubborn spots and to use as a daily wash to keep your skin clear. 

Max Factor CC Cream - I bought this when It came out, I'd just tried one of the L'oreal ones and hated them but after testing this out in store it looked wonderful. I loved how it felt when I swatched it on my hand and the colour was a great match. It's basically something in between a BB cream and a foundation. The coverage is great and whats amazing is that you can layer it as much as you want and it wont get cakey. 

Barry M Nail Paints in Shocking Pink and Blue Grape - I love the Barry M polishes and these two have to be some of my favourites from my collection. They are super bright, pigmented,  fast drying and stay chip free for days. What more can you ask? 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in Fraige Remix - A great coral colour that I can actually wear. Corals don't look great on my super pale skin but this is a very flattering shade. I'm in love with it. The Rouge Edition lipsticks are great quality and I definitely want to pick up more. 

MUA Blushes - I'm in loves we these! They're just £1 and they are beautiful! Pigmented, smooth and long lasting. I want them all :-) 

Roberto Cavalli - Just Cavalli EDP - I was gifted this by my mother and at first I wasn't that big a fan but I've been wearing it more and more in the last month and It's become a favourite. Grown up and sexy. Perfect for a night out! 

Those are my favourites, what are yours?

Collective Haul : Perfume, Hair and Clothes!

Hullo Ladies!

It's been ages since I posted on here...well less than a week but it seems longer :-) 

I've done a fair amount of shopping lately and I'm going to talk about the products I picked up. 

First stop was ASDA and like always they had a 3 for £10 offer on most of the Hair Care. I noticed a new line there...well I say "line" but my store only had two products from them. 

The GH Great Hair Moisture Drench Shampoo and Conditioner. I didn't recognise the brand but with a closer look it says that they're Manufactured for Baylis and Harding. If you live in the UK you probably know the brand, I don't know If they're sold World Wide,  you usually see them around Christmas time when they have lots of lovely Gift Sets out. These 500ml bottles were £4 and in the 3 for £10 offer so I also picked up the Aussie 3 Minute  Miracle  Reconstructor Deep Conditioner. A favourite of mine. I've tried the other 3 Minute Miracles but I think this one works the best. 

I also picked up some books from the charity shop, two Goddess Summoning Novels by P.C. Cast and Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan. 

I picked up some more Superdrug Facial Cleansing Wipes, they say they are a 4 in 1 wipe: makeup remover, eye makeup remover, toner and moisturiser. I don't know if it does ALL that but I actually really do like these, for 99p you can't go wrong. The yellow pack smells really good too :-) 

I found some Sally Hansen nail polish in Poundland. Not many nice colours there but I did find a pretty one called Good As Grape. I went to Boot's not long after and they were asking for £6.99 for the same polish. BARGAIN! 

If you read my Empties Post last week then you'd know that I've recently finished up a few perfumes. 

I have about 3 other bottles that are on their way out too so I thought It was about time I bought some more...I can't help it, it's an addiction. 

I bought the new Roberto Cavalli Perfume Just Cavalli, I've loved every Cavalli perfume I've ever smelt and this is no different :-) It's more floral than the Roberto Cavalli EDP but I still really like it. I bought the 30ml  from Superdrug for £29.99 

I also bought Nina Ricci Nina L'Elixir perfume from Amazon. It was £27.50  for a 50ml bottle. 

I have to be honest and say that whilst at Superdrug I tested out the new Taylor Swift fragrance and although it just smells like Starbursts to me....I really want it! Couldn't stop smelling my wrist after the shop assistant sprayed it on me. 

My nan took my to New Look for the sale and I have to say I picked up...a lot of things. I do this about twice a year. I'll buy nearly a new wardrobe full of clothes from the New Look Sales. I love them. 

I bought two of these Peplum tops for £4 one in this Indigo Blue colour and one in bright green. It's my first time trying a peplum...anything.....and I really liked it. Shows off my curves and looks great. 

I picked up a tank top, I loved the design, I think it cost £6. 

I picked up two of these zipper detail t-shirts both in white. Great to just use for everyday wear. These were down to £5.

I also picked up a sweater and two pairs of jeans but I've already worn them and they're in the wash so I couldn't take pictures.  Everything I bought from New Look came under £50 which I think is amazing and I would definitely suggest shopping their sales. 

So that's everything I bought recently. 

Have you found any great bargains lately?

February Favourites 2013

Hey Ladies! 

Rimmel Match Perfection In Light Porcelain -  I'm in love with this foundation at the moment. It's a great colour for me, best I've found so far. It gives me a good medium coverage and looks very dewy on my extremely dry skin. 

N.Y.C HD Felt Liner - I reviewed this recently and I'm really liking it, I don't find it as easy to use as my gel liner but for the price it lasts a great time and looks really good on the eye!

The Body Shop Carrot Cream - I've used this cream for years, I'm basically trying everything at the moment to help my fry skin and I've re-discovered this one. Light and moisturizing and not too heavily scented. 

Dainty Doll Eye Shadow Base - A recent purchase for me! I've been using it as a base for my eye shadow for the last week and I love how it just brightens my eye and keeps my eye shadow looking great all day :-) 

MUA Undress Me Too - I've been using this palette ever since I bought it! I't a great palette for neutral shadow lovers. I've reviewed it here. 

MUA Brow Pencil in Brunette - Before this month I had never filled my brows, all I did really was pluck them but I've recently been wanting to try out some brow products and for a £1 this is one I'm really liking so far, I also want to try out the MUA Pro-Brow Kit. 

Dainty Doll Lipstick in Saucy Sailor - I love red lippy's and this is a beautiful one! I reviewed it here. 

Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion - I've been suffering with bad skin lately, so I've been purchasing alot of skin care items. I've always heard a lot about the Simple brand but after trying the makeup wipes I wasn't that impressed. I recently splurged though and bought this cleansing lotion after I heard that using a lotion to cleanse can help dry skin. I'm really loving it and use it day and night. 

Roberto Cavalli EDP - One of my all time favourite perfumes ever! I know I love a scent when I feel like I could bathe in it and not get bored. It's a sexy oriental and I can't say enough good things about it. I'll be reviewing it soon! 

So those are all the products I've been loving this month! 

What have your been loving?

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.
