Serial Sampler #23

I have three perfume samples to share with you today. I bought them as a gift set so I could test them. I had already smelled one of the scents before and I remembered liking it, so I thought I would try the other two. They are not your regular sample vials; they are extremely cute mini perfume bottles!
They are Ari, Sweet Like Candy and Moonlight by Ariana Grande and they are 7.5ml mini dabber bottles of the eau de parfums.
ARI
This bottle is transparent clear glass.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Pear, Grapefruit, Raspberry, Lily-Of-The-Valley, Rose, Vanilla Orchid, Musk, Woody Notes and Marshmallow.

I had smelled this one before when it was first launched and I remembered liking it and I still do. It smells fresh, fruity and woody. You can really smell the raspberry, vanilla orchid and woody notes. I’m not sure I would re-purchase it though, even though it does remind me a little of Black Star by Avril Lavigne.

You can buy it in 30ml (£22/$42), 50ml (£30/$52) and 100ml (£41/$62) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Ulta.
SWEET LIKE CANDY
This bottle is an opaque shiny light pink colour glass.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Blackberry, Bergamot, Pear, Blackcurrant, Whipped Cream, Marshmallow, Jasmine, Frangipani, Honeysuckle, Vanilla and Cashmere Wood.

It smells very fruity and sweet. It reminds me of the perfume Purr by Katy Perry, so it definitely isn’t really an original scent. I really like it. You can really smell the blackberry, blackcurrant, jasmine and vanilla notes. It doesn’t smell like Ari, but they are both fresh and sparkly sort of scents. I was a fan of Purr, so I am a fan of this one too and would re-purchase it.

You can buy it in 30ml (£22/$42), 50ml (£30/$52) and 100ml (£41/$62) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Ulta.
MOONLIGHT
This bottle is a translucent pearly pink, purple and green colour glass.

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Blackcurrant, Plum, Marshmallow, Peony, Amber, Sandalwood and Vanilla.

It smells light, soft and mostly floral. It reminds me of a creamy skincare scent. You can smell the plum, peony, sandalwood and vanilla. It doesn’t smell anything like Ari or Sweet Like Candy. I like it, but it isn’t my typical scent so I don’t think I would re-purchase it.

You can buy it in 30ml (£23/$42), 50ml (£31/$52) and 100ml (£41/$62) and it is available at places such as; Boots, AllBeauty.com and Ulta.

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...
