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 :-)

December 2012 Favourites

Hi Ladies!

These are a few of my favourite products from the last month! 

I've been trying to be a good girl and start to wear primers under my foundation again so the last few weeks I've been putting on my Laura Geller Spackle Primer. It's a very good primer and I'll be reviewing it soon. 

For my eyes I've been using the MUA Undressed Palette which is a lovely palette and I can't wait to do my review on it. In the winter I like to do a strong smokey eye and then just use a nude lipstick, one I've been loving is MAC HUE it a glossy nude/pink colour. On my cheeks I have been using a stronger blush than usual which is my Laura Geller Blush 'N Brighten in Pink Buttercream, then to give my cheeks a nice glow I've been using the Bourjois Eye Shadow Pot in Citron Givre as a cheek highlighter. I've also been using a lot of heat on my hair this December so Andrew Barton's The Straight Answer Hot Iron Protection Spray has been a savior. I always find my hands a bit dry in the winter so I've been loving Soap and Glory's Hand Food, it smells gorgeous and really helps to keep the dry skin away. For fragrances I've been wearing Vera Wang's Princess Night and DKNY Be Delicious. For some reason I've been loving the smell of fresh apples this winter! 

What have you been loving these last few weeks?

Eau My Giddy God - Vera Wang - Princess Night

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

If you read my haul a few weeks back, you would have seen that I recently picked up this Vera Wang perfume from TK Maxx. It was an amazing find. I picked up the 50ml bottle of Vera Wang Princess Night for just £24.99.

I've been meaning to try a Princess perfume for a long time now, as nearly every Perfume Collection I've seen on blogs and Youtube seem to have one included. 

                                     

This is the newest Princess release. 

I remember seeing the advertisement for it earlier in the year and falling in love with the bottle. 

This is a grouped as a floral fruity perfume, all though I don't smell a lot of floral notes. 

The Official notes to this perfume are ;-

Top - Watermelon, Raspberry and Red Berry

Middle - Jasmine, African Orange Flower and Rose

Base - Woodsy Notes, Musk, Sugar and Vanilla

On me I smell berries, sweet vanilla and woods. Giving this a youthful yet mysterious scent. 

For a fruity floral fragrance I find it more interesting than your usual popular teen fragrances, which makes it more wearable for a girl of any age to not feel like they are wearing an immature perfume. 

I adore the packaging and it looks stunning on display. I do find some fall out with the glitter but not enough that Im worried about bald patches very soon. There's just one speck of glitter here and there. 

The thing that does bug my is the cap/crown. Yes it is gorgeous and the fact that you could also wear it as a ring is very appealing but it's just very fussy and mine always seems to fall off, which makes me fear carrying it around for to long in case I lose them. I would feel better about it if it was magnetic or fitted together more sturdily. 

The colour of the glitter looks black in the photo's but when you hold it up to a light you can see that  its just a very dark purple. 

All in all though it's a beautiful perfume and I'm so glad I picked it up when I did because only last week I saw it priced at over £40 in Boot's! 

Hope you all had a great weekend :-)

Recent Collective Haul - Why I love TK Maxx Part 2

Hey Lovely Ladies :-)

I haven't done a haul in a while so I thought I would show you what I've bought this last month. 

Nails Inc St James - Glamour Magazine - Free

Glade Candle - Winter Berries - £2 

Garnier Olia Hair Dye - Intense Red - Supurdrug - £6.99

MUA - Undressed Palette - Superdrug - £4

Vera Wang - Princess Night 50ml - TK Maxx - £24.99

I picked up the Nails Inc polish but then realized that I have something very similar to it so I will be giving it to my best friend because she LOVES red nail polishes. I love when magazines give away free goodies. Especially when the magazine is only £2! 

I picked up the Glade Candle in Spar for just £2. I don't know if it was on offer or not but for £2 I'll be picking up a few more of these it smells gorgeous!

I really needed to re-dye my hair this month. My roots were looking awful. I've also been trying really hard to dye over the black in my hair. I tried the hair stripper but it didn't work very well and smelt so bad *rotten eggs!* that I don't want to try it again. I've told my friends to shoot me if I ever contemplate dying my hair black again because I always end up changing my mind a month later! 

I finally caved and bought the Undressed palette from MUA. Well in actual fact I bought one for my auntie and one for a friend for Christmas and I just happened to know that they were on a 3 for 2 offer. Mwhahahaha! I can't wait to review and compare this to my Naked palette :-) 

This must be the best purchase this month...you all know I love a good deal and I couldn't believe it when I found the new Vera Wang perfume in  TK Maxx. 50ml for just £24.99! Just after I bought it we stopped in Boots and they wanted £45 for it so I felt so lucky! I've been wanting to try a Vera Wang perfume for ages :-) It's gorgeous and i'll be reviewing it soon! 

One thing that I picked up yesterday that isn't photographed is The Grinch DVD......I've loved this movie since it came out...I made my mam take me to see it three times! It's been recorded on my Sky box since last Christmas so when I saw it in Matalan for £2.99 I knew I had to pick it up :-) 

So that's my haul, I'm off to watch I'm A Celeb :-) 

Hope your all enjoying your weekend!
