Perfume Power! - Hugo Boss 'BOSS Ma Vie'

I have decided to do a review on the perfume I chose from my Boots Christmas Scent set. It’s taken me a while, but I finally cashed in my voucher and picked my bottle up. For those of you that may not have seen my blog post on the perfume tester set, basically I had a set with eight vials of the best-selling female perfumes at Boots. You got a voucher with the set and you had to choose your favourite scent out of the eight and then you could take your voucher to any Boots store and claim your bottle. If you received the set as a gift, then technically you get to choose a bottle for free. I actually bought the set myself, so it meant I got to try eight different scents before decided on one. The whole idea was for me to test perfumes that I wouldn’t have chosen to test in person or ‘blind bought’ online.

I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle itself is cuboid shaped and has a little weight to it. It has a gold band around the top with the brand name imprinted on it. I would say the bottle is made out of glass and is a pearl nude pink colour. The cap is a clear plastic cuboid shape with a slightly diagonally slanted top. This perfume has a classic gold spritzer button to dispense the scent.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Cactus Flower
Middle Notes: Pink Freesia, Jasmine & Rose
Base Notes: Cedar & Wood

I do really like this scent. I can mostly smell the jasmine and cedar, but the freesia does peek through. It smells really light, fresh, feminine and kind of sparkling. As the notes suggest, it is a floral scent. It is definitely not my typical choice for a perfume, but it is a nice surprise and it does last a while on your skin. I really like the bottle and it has a nice classic kind of look to it.

Overall I really do like this scent and I can see that as I wear it more, I may begin to love it even though it is not a typical scent choice for me. I would definitely recommend it and I think it is suitable for any age, although I do think it would appeal more to the older generation as it is quite light. At this moment in time, I don’t see myself re-purchasing it, but this could change.

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Farewell!

Hello everyone, As you can see from the title of this post, I have decided to quit blogging!. Blogging has been a part of my life for over 11 years and I have enjoyed it a lot and it has also been a form of therapy for me. But it’s now time to leave, my life has evolved so much this last year and a half and I am now looking forward to exploring new things. I have also closed my blog e-mail address, Twitter account and Bloglovin account. I will be leaving up all of my posts, but I have turned off new comments. Take care and thank you for all your support over the years. ♥ ♥ ♥

I decided to buy these and give them ago after hearing good things about them online, there is also a great shade selection. My current favourite lipsticks are the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and I wanted to see how these DOC ones would compare. Old Flame - warm rusty orange Camp Fire - burnt sienna These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan. My First Impressions The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind ...
