The Perfume Tag :-)

Hullo Ladies! 

So if you've been reading my blog these last few weeks you may have noticed that I'm perfume mad lately.

Looking on Youtube I noticed that earlier in the year this perfume tag was going around and I was so gutted I missed it so I thought....why not do it anyway?? 

I'm always behind on the trend...why must this be any different? 

So lets start with the questions :-) 

1) What is your favourite Winter scent?

Armani Code, although I wear it all year round it's something I find myself being drawn to in the winter as it's a comfortable yet sexy scent. It's gorgeous and If you've never tried it I highly suggest you test it next time you're in a store!

2) On a lazy day you reach for....?

The Body Shop's Love ECT..  I just keep it in my handbag for those days when I don't know what else to put on as it's so wearable. It's not too sweet, floral or fresh. Just a balanced mix of them all. 

3) What would you use when you are going on a date?

Lancome's Tresor Midnight Rose. 

It's an extremely sexy scent to me. It's a classic with a modern twist. It's very romantic and addictive. 

4) What was your high school signature scent?

When I was in comprehensive school nearly every girl in my class was wearing Britney's Fantasy and as much as I love that scent I wanted something different so my Mam took me to Superdrug and tested a load a perfumes with me untill we found the perfect one. I chose Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden. To me its very fresh and floral. Grown up yet not too old fashioned.

5) What is your current love?

My current favourite is one of my most recent buys, it's Idole d'Armani by Giorgio Armani. 

It was a real surprise to me as I'd never heard of t before. I tested it out one day a few weeks ago and fell instantly in love with it. It's perfect for me. Fresh and sweet with some spicy notes mixed in. I also picked it up on sale which is even better! I've used it nearly everyday since I bought it. 

6) What is your  favourite Summer scent?

My favorite Summer scent is Be Deliscious by DKNY. 

I get so many comments when I wear it. I love it! So juicy and fresh. 

7) Name a perfume you regret buying.

Siren By Paris Hilton.

There was three reasons I bought this on a blind buy from Amazon. 1) Everyone kept telling me how good her perfumes are. 2) It was apparently a dupe for the very famous Viva La Juicy from Juicy Couture. 3) it was extremely cheap online. 

So I thought to myself...why not? I was real excited about it and then when I sprayed it on my wrist I had to run to the bathroom and wash it off again. I hated it! The most embarrassing part is...it's not even a bad dupe. It smells very similar to Viva La Juicy....but me being the idiot I was didn't think of smelling that perfume either. A few months later I did and hated that too. *shakes head in disgust* 

So if you're a fan of Viva La Juicy but hate the price tag I would definitely suggest picking this up. Sadly I now have a 100ml bottle going to waste. 

8) What perfume is on your wish list? 

Roberto Cavalli. I have to smell it every time I go into a Boot's/Superdrug shop. It's stunning. Strong, spicy, a hint of sweetness and instantly recognisable. I'm hoping to get it for Christmas :-) 

I loved doing this tag! I tag anyone who wants to do it :-) 

Hope you all had a nice day!

Eau My Giddy God: The Body Shop: LOVE ECT...

Hullo girls,

               I have just finished watching a really good movie (200 Pound Beauty- amaaaazing!) and felt like writing another blog post! So I'm writing another Eau My Giddy God post, which is all about one special perfume which I will be doing every so often. I am a massive fan of fragrances, I hate the thought of not smelling good and It's just one of those things that I first pick up on when meeting someone new, Do I recognise that scent? So today's lucky perfume is........Love ECT...by The Body Shop.
             I think one of the best compliment you can give and recieve is "ohh, you smell good!" and I'm happy to say I have recieved a few of those since wearing this perfume. Which I have been wearing non stop for the last few months! I'm in love and I only payed £6! Bargain!
            
             Love Ect is a lovely light perfume that is great for day time, it's very girly but not too immature and has quite a unique and interesting scent. I think it would be great for school or work because it's not a offending scent. It very subtle and fresh.

             What The Body Shop Website says : "Our irresistible fragrance in a lasting eau de parfum: a heart-stopping fusion of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood notes."

            
               So If you want a clean, girly scent that is not over powering then this is perfect. It's priced at £14 on the webstie but they are always having sales on :-)


                                            Have you tried any Body Shop perfumes?

                                                              Thanks, Linzi xx

            

My March Favorites

Happy April Fools day everyone!

Its the first of April today so Im writing a post on all the things I loved in March.

Viva Glam Gaga is a bright blue toned pink. Its a lovely colour for spring and is a lustre fomulation which means its very glossy on this lips. Sadly this one melted in my bag a few months back but Im still trying hard to use it. 

The suns been great these last couple of weeks for so early in the spring, hopefully it means we will  have a hot summer this year. I've been wearing this everyday since the suns been out and im loving it. This is a great body butter for all skin types, It has a very exoctic pure coconut smell.

Bobbi Browns Long Wear Gel Eyeliner In Espresso Ink. This is my favorite eye liner and I have not just been wearing this all of last month but nearly all year and I'll be buying another when I run out. It such a smooth and pigmented colour to use and lasts all day.

Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara in black, I recieved this in a set with two Bobbi Brown eye liners and a Ultra Fine eyeliner brush. Its a great mascara that gives you length and volume with out the clumps.

Mermaid Blue

This is a lovely bright metalic blue from Maybeline.  

This is a NYC nail polish called Light -Camera - Glitter. I only bought it last week but It hasnt been off my nails since. I love it. It looks amazing over any colour :)

This is a mini bottle of OPI's Cajun Shrimp. I recieved it in a set from QVC. Its great for spring and summer. I love it on my toes :)

This is Love Etc, by The Body Shop. Its a really nice pretty scent that is not too imature. I bought it in a set in the sales. It came with a 200ml body wash and cost just £6. It's a lovely smelling perfume for the price. Ive been wearing nearly every day since I bought it.

This is a body spray from Boots' Natural Collection in Mango and Papaya. It's only £2 and is lovely and refreshing.

This last month I have been using Urban Decays Naked Pallete on my eyes a lot. Its great for a nice subtle eye and a bright lip.

I have been using Laura Geller Spackle Primer in Champayne this month, under my foundation, It gives a lovely glow to my skin and helps with any dry patches.

Carrot Moisture Cream from The Body Shop, great for a face cream and inexpensive at £4.

This is a small Lancome lip gloss that I recieved last christmas with a perfume set that included a mascara and eye shadow. Sadly it doesnt have a name written on it,  Its a light pink with lots a shimmer.

 

This is The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm Stick in pomegranate, Its smells lovely and leaves your lips hydrated and smooth.

Flake Away by Soap and Glory

This is a great scrub that I use around three times a week, it leaves my skin smooth and smelling lovely.
