Blogmas #15 | Haul: Bath & Body

I recently went shopping and just had to take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer in Boots and I really wanted to get a Soap & Glory gift set I had seen the day before, but didn’t get at the time.

From Boots I got the Soap & Glory Loved & Glossed Gift Set, which contains three shades of their Sexy Mother Pucker™ Gloss Sticks. Also from Soap & Glory I got their Scrub ‘Em And Leave ‘Em™ Body Buff and Sugar Crush™ Body Wash. Lastly from Soap & Glory and not included in the 3 for 2 offer, I got the Smooch Operator™ Lip Butter Balm. I then went to Morrisons to do some shopping and I picked up a new face scrub, Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub and Colgate Max White One Active Toothpaste. Lastly, the other day when I did some online Christmas shopping on AllBeauty.com I bought a nail polish, Essie Antique Rose.

I am trying not to buy too much before Christmas, but the majority of the stuff I bought was necessities I had run out of and wanted to try a different kind.

Have you bought anything exciting lately?

Perfume Power! - Christina Aguilera 'Woman'

I decided to buy this perfume as it was on my test list on Fragrantica and I saw it for a decent price. I have been struggling to find places to buy perfume samples lately, so I took a gamble and bought the smallest bottle size I could. I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle is made of glass and kind of an hourglass shape, just like some of Christina’s other perfumes. It has a yellow gold flower design on the thinnest part of the bottle and Christina’s name is printed in hot pink and the perfume name printed in yellow gold. It also has yellow gold banding around the neck for the cap to sit on. The cap is clear plastic and kind of diamond shaped. It has a slight yellow gold spritzer to dispense the scent. On the outer cardboard box it had this description; “A sensual combination of golden amber and white flowers - radiating femininity the way a woman does”. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Litchi & Pear Middle Notes: Magnol...

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...
