Serial Sampler #1

Today I thought I would share with you a couple of perfume samples I bought from eBay recently. I had heard of them before and I was just curious because the bottles look quite nice and they remind me of Alice in Wonderland.

They are both by Vivienne Westwood and are called Cheeky Alice and Naughty Alice.
The Cheeky Alice sample I have is a 1.2ml eau de toilette. The sample packaging is a sort of salmon peach colour with gold detailing.

“A cheeky and audacious twist of fresh peony and juicy plum, playing on top of a velvety floral heart”

It smells quite classic and it is suitable for all ages and tastes. It is slightly mature smelling, but it is still nice. The floral notes stand out the most.
The Naughty Alice sample I have is a 1.2ml eau de parfum. The sample packaging is a mint aqua blue sort of colour with gold detailing.

“A violet dash of provocation wrapped in a velvety rose veil of cheeky sophistication”

It smells quite woodsy and leafy. I would say it is more targeted towards a mature taste. It smells slightly crispy and herbally too.

Overall I prefer Cheeky Alice because it is more delicate and closer to my tastes. Naughty Alice is not what I expected at all. It is quite the assault on the senses! It just smells quite earthy and strange. Although I like Cheeky Alice, I am not sure if I would buy a full size bottle of it. I will definitely steer clear of Naughty Alice.

What do you think of these perfumes?

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...
