Blogmas #13 | Perfume Power! - Britney Spears 'Island Fantasy'

I decided to buy this on a whim because I really love the colour and design of the bottle and I saw it on FragranceDirect.co.uk for a much reduced price, so I just couldn’t resist!

The bottle looks like the rest of Britney’s Fantasy perfume’s because it is a sphere shape made of glass. Only this one has a kind of gradient colour effect of lime green and aqua. It also has diamantes spread around the bottle. Around the neck of the bottle is a sort of silver coloured decorative band. The cap is sphere shaped too and is translucent with a lime green colour. It has a regular perfume spritzer to dispense the liquid.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Citrus, Clementine, Mandarin Orange, Red Berries & Watermelon
Middle Notes: Jasmine, Violet & Freesia
Base Notes: Musk & Sugarcane

This is a lovely summertime scent. It is very fruity, like a cocktail and it still smells kind of sexy with a hint of floral. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous and the scent does linger for quite a while after the initial spritz has worn off.

Overall I would not re-purchase, even though it is a really lovely scent because I don’t reach for it that often. I would definitely recommend it though!

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
