Perfume Power! - Christina Aguilera 'Definition'

I have tried many Christina Aguilera fragrances over the years and this is the most recent one I have purchased.

The bottle design is similar to the CA fragrances and the outer box is also lace and flower themed. The bottle is a clear glass vase shape and is has a small black ribbon tied into a bow around the neck. The cap is diamond shaped and made out of clear plastic. It has the usual silver spritzer to dispense the scent. I purchased the 30ml bottle and it is available for £20.50 from places such as, AllBeauty.com and Sephora.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Sicilian Bergamot, Italian Mandarin & Red Apple

Middle Notes: Vanilla Orchid & Diamond Orchid

Base Notes: Hinoki Wood, Ambergris, Heliotrope & Musk

The vanilla scent is the strongest and it is kind of a classic evening time of scent. It reminds me a little bit of Far Away by Avon, but it is fruiter. It is not my typical scent, but I do actually like it. As soon as I smelt it, it reminded me of my Mum. The bottle is simple, elegant and follows the lace and flower theme as the other Christina scents. The perfume does last quite a long time on the skin and it isn’t overpowering, so you don’t have to worry about spraying too much.

Overall, this is a pleasant perfume and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. I probably wouldn’t re-purchase it as it isn’t typically a scent I would go for, plus I still have too many other perfumes to use up and new samples to test.

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...

Serial Sampler #31

This is a new perfume release for this year. I came across it by pure chance when I was asked to choose some free samples when I made a FeelUnique.com order. This scent was one of the two I chose to receive. It is Irresistible by GIVENCHY and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ Rose effervescent. Luscious rose dancing with radiant blond wood ” It contains a mixture of notes such as; Pear, Ambrette, Rose, Iris, Virginia Cedar and Musk. When it is first sprayed, it kind of smells like soap. As it starts to dry down, it still smells slightly soapy but the ambrette, rose, iris and musk notes start to peek through. Once it has fully dried down it smells less soapy and more florally. It is definitely a more soft mature scent. It does smell nice, fresh and does remind me of spring. It isn’t a scent I am typically drawn to, so I probably will not buy a bottle of it. I would say the ambrette, rose and musk are the strongest notes. You can buy it in 35ml (...

Serial Sampler #32

I received this perfume sample for FREE when I spent over a certain amount of money on a LookFantastic.com order. I actually purchased the full sized bottle (90ml) of the Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum. It is My Way by Armani and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. It contains a mixture of notes such as; Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Indian Jasmine, Madagascar Vanilla, White Musk and Virginian Cedar. This strikes me as a mature scent. It smells like something I have tested before, but I can’t quite recall the name of it. It is a very delicate and light fragrance and is definitely floral based. It is not my typical scent, but I do appreciate it. I can really smell the bergamot, tuberose, jasmine and musk notes. I would recommend it, but I personally wouldn’t wear it. You can buy it in 30ml (£55/$74), 50ml (£76/$97) and 90ml (£103/$126) and it is available at places such as; ArmaniBeauty.co.uk and Sephora. | I received this sampl...
