Haul: CheapSmells + More!

Hello, yesterday I received the two perfumes I ordered from CheapSmells.com, one I have smelt before I love it and the other I bought to try.

I bought DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (30ml) for £22.95. I actually bought this for my sister’s birthday last year and quite liked it myself, as we had tested it way before her birthday. At the time I was still in college and didn’t have a job so I couldn’t justify spending that money on myself, when I already had a lot of perfume, plus my sister got to have it as her ‘exclusive smell’ for the year, and now it’s MY turn! lol J

Lastly I got Aquolina Pink Sugar (30ml) for £13.95. I had heard all the hype about it on YouTube and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find it in the UK, but I happen to have found it whilst I was looking at other perfumes on CheapSmells, so I was happy! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew it would smell quite sweet. And I actually don’t like it. The bottle is very cute, but the scent makes me feel a little queasy. As you can imagine it smells very sweet, but is also smells quite vanilla, which I am not fond of. I will try and wear it and see how I feel, if my opinion hasn’t change I will give it to my mum or sister to try.
I also went shopping on Thursday to get some bits for my kitten Billy (18 weeks old, I bought him Tuesday), I won’t haul his stuff, but did I buy some items from Superdrug. Maybelline was on a 3 for 2 offer, so I went to see if there were any colour tattoos and if there was I would buy one and maybe try an eyeliner from them. So I ended up getting a Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in 05 Eternal Gold (45 Bold Gold), which cost £4.99 and two of their Master Drama Khol Liners in Ultra Violet and Ultra Black, which were £4.49 each, but I got one free because of the offer.­
I also forgot to mention something I bought in March. I got an Elle & Blair Glitzy-Glam customised brush holder (£12.62 + £11.08 P&P + £1.79 tax = £25.49). I chose the letter ‘R’, main colour Purple and secondary colour Lavender. It is really lovely, but I kind of regret it because it cost way too much for what it is, but like I said it is really lovely. I wasn’t expecting the tax at all, the company taxed the 79p and my bank charge you £1 per overseas transaction! I am actually looking into making my own because I have a small glass, with my face brushes in at the moment, so I want to customise it so it goes with my Glitzy-Glam one.

P.S. My next post will be a review! J

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Graze - Box #6

Welcome to my second Graze delivery of the year. I was quite excited when I first opened it, even though I have tried one of the treats before. A closer look at my treats. Cracking Black Pepper Cashews “Black pepper cashews, roasted cashews & redskin peanuts” I have had cashews before and they are not my favourite, but the black pepper completely changes them and they are actually quite nice and the flavour is not too overpowering. I am not keen on the roasted cashews because they don’t really taste of anything and the bit of flavour they do have is very dry. Lastly, the peanuts are kind of strange. They kind of taste soily and dry, therefore I don’t like these. My Thai “Sweet chilli sauce with baked soy bites” This was my first experience of this one and you can really smell the soy on the bites and they have a funny texture, but are really yummy. I didn’t try the chilli sauce because I didn’t like the scent and I am not big on sauces anyway. ...
