Perfume Power! - VERSACE 'Vanitas'


I received this perfume as a 4.5ml sample in the Glossybox March 2012 Harrods Edition box.

The bottle is the exact same as the full sized bottle but in miniature form, but the bigger sizes have a spritz and the sample can be tipped onto the skin to release the scent. The bottle shape is a sort of cuboid with one curved edge and it is a very classic design and the cap is gold in colour with the VERSACE name inscribed on it with a leaf patterned border. The liquid colour is a tinted with a yellow/gold, barely noticeable but it makes a big difference in the way the perfume/bottle looks as a whole.
The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Lime
Middle Notes: Freesia & Tiare Flower
Base Notes: Virginia Cedar Wood & Tonka Bean

This perfume is a mostly floral scent with a soft fruity lime twist. It smells really clean, fresh and feminine and is a perfect match if you are after a spring scent. It lasts quite a while on the skin and the more you spray the stronger the scent is, so it can be doubled up as a night time scent. It also comes across as a classic type of scent, yet it would appeal to all ages because it doesn’t smell like the typical classic powdery grandma scent.

If you happen to come across this scent in stores, I definitely recommend that you test it. It is unlike any other perfume I own and I am really tempted to purchase it in one of the bigger sizes.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

This is the last ever declutter post I will be sharing with you. I have lost interest in really experimenting with my make-up looks so I thought it was time for another declutter.
