I have another perfume sample for you today and it’s one I have had for a while now. It’s Valentina by Valentino and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ Valentina marks out a solar, unexpected trail, classic yet modern”. It contains notes, such as, bergamot, jasmine, strawberry and amber. It smells really delicate and fresh. It is quite strong, but elegant and it’s the strawberry note that mixes up the floral notes and makes it special. I really like this perfume and it’s one I would consider purchasing in a full size bottle. What do you think of this perfume? ♥ ♥ ♥

I saw this palette a while ago on a beauty blog and instantly knew I had to have it. It’s not long launched here in the UK, but it’s already a cult favourite! I just adore the packaging, everything about it! It’s made out of cardboard, but it feels sturdy and durable and it is a gorgeous kind of coffee/red velvet chocolate colour. It has a beautiful rose gold design on the front, with swirls and then a centered key. It has a magnetic closing, which is quite strong because if you hold it from the top when closed and give it a shake, the two parts don’t separate (palette doesn’t open). It has a light feel in general and inside it’s all one beautiful colour and the eyeshadows are well spaced. Around each pan is a rose gold diamond border and underneath in small rose gold letters are the shade names. On the back of the palette is the usual ingredients and other information blurbs. You get ten full size eyeshadows (0.5oz) with matte, metallic or satin finishes and each has a cute...

Hey everyone, I have finally changed my blog layout. It is not perfect or how I really want it to look, but it will do for now and at least there is some purple at last! I am hoping to get back into the swing of posting in the next couple of months and hopefully it will be for good this time. Watch this space! ;) ♥ ♥ ♥

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...

My first Glossybox post of the year, and it won’t be the last! This box is actually quite exciting and you also get a HellFresh.co.uk £25.00 gift card and that next month preview card. For February’s preview, everyone will get a full size Royal Apothic Tintie Lip Butter in their box. Let’s see what I got in my first box of 2015:- Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow | 15g - £10.00 | I have tested this and it is a nice product. The colour is a bit odd, but as an eye base would look pretty. It spreads quite a long way, which I don’t like for a cheekbone highlighter because it’s a bit messy, no matter how much you squeeze out! The packaging is also very nice and the tube comes quite full with the product. Kueshi PURE & CLEAN Face Toner | 200ml - £9.00 | I am quite excited to try this because I love trying face cleaners. This one smells quite nice and the description sounds very promising. Naked Lips Organic Lip Balm in Superfruits | 4.25g - £4.00 | I’m not really...
