Serial Sampler #2

Today I am sharing another sample, which I received in last month’s Glossybox.

It is L’Amour by LALIQUE and it is a 2ml sample dabber of the eau de parfum. The card packet is quite appealing in a velvet pink shade with gold bordering and detailing.

“A sensuous floral fragrance, a love potion for absolute seduction”.
It smells really nice, fresh and delicate and you can really smell the rose and bergamot. It might be too floral for some people, but I think the other notes balance it out beautifully. I also love the dispenser. It is like a salt shaker and it makes it easier to apply, instead of the vile being open when you take the cap off. I would have preferred the regular spritzer though, but it’s only a sample and the full size bottles have the spritzer.

It is a lovely perfume, but I’m not sure I would buy it in a full size bottle! I love loads of perfumes, but I know the difference between me loving the scent and it being ‘my scent’. It is also quite expensive, so if you are interested in purchasing it, I would suggest checking sites like AllBeauty.com first to see if they have it on sale for a cheaper price.

What do you think of this perfume?

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...
