Serial Sampler #20

I received this perfume sample for free when I submitted my contact details on a Facebook App, which was offering the free samples. I actually forgot I sent off for one until I received it in the post.

It is Viva La Juicy Bowdacious by Juicy Couture and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

“Cheeky, playful and forever fantastic. Viva La Juicy Bowdacious invites you into a world of luxe, pink, over-the-top fantasy! The solar fragrance splashes notes of Italian Mandarin while the Tiare flower gives a kiss of sunny skies and is warmed by the creamy addiction of coconut milk”

It contains a mixture notes such as; Italian Mandarin, Tiare Flower, Pear, Melon, Jasmine Sambac, White Ginger Lily, Coconut Milk, Tonka Bean and Driftwood.
When you first spray it on your skin, it does smell exactly like Viva La Juicy, but the coconut milk really starts to come through just after and changes it. It is a lighter fragrance than Viva La Juicy and it does remind me of spring. I thought the coconut milk and driftwood notes would be too overpowering and make me not like it, but I was wrong. I do like this fragrance, but I do prefer Viva La Juicy as it smells sort of sexier. I would recommend this for daytime wear and I think it suits all ages. I would consider purchasing a full sized bottle, but for now I won’t be.

You can buy it in 30ml (£42/$58), 50ml (£52/$79) and 100ml (£72/$99) and it is available at places such as; Boots and Sephora.

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...
