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.

Serial Sampler #16

I have a mascara sample I would like to share with you today. It is False Lashes Extreme Black by MAC and it is a 1g sample of the full size mascara. It is supposed to make your lashes appear thick, voluminous and full feathered with its ultra-thickening carbon black pigment mousse like formula. It should also lengthen, curl and separate your lashes and it should be long wearing, flake proof and smudge proof. This mascara does add quite a bit volume to your lashes, as well as length, separation and definition. It also slightly curls the tips of your lashes. I’m not sure if the ultra-thickening formula and carbon black pigment really adds anything extra and I wouldn’t say that it really gives you a full feathered look. It was easy to apply and after a couple of coats you are good to go. The effects do last all day, it is smudge-proof but not flake proof and I do like the small thin and precise brush. I did enjoy using this mascara and I would be int...

Graze | New Packets #1 - Love Cake

I thought I would share this cake with you, seeing as though I have stopped the overall Graze Box posts. I am now only just going to share new packets with you, and I recently received this one. It is called the Love Cake and it is really nice and light. Although it was tasty, it was mostly lemon and I could taste and the texture of the sponge was quite dry! If I receive this again, I would happily eat it, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to make sure I receive it again! Would you fancy a bite of the love cake? ♥ ♥ ♥
