Haul: CheapSmells + More!

Hello, yesterday I received the two perfumes I ordered from CheapSmells.com, one I have smelt before I love it and the other I bought to try.

I bought DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (30ml) for £22.95. I actually bought this for my sister’s birthday last year and quite liked it myself, as we had tested it way before her birthday. At the time I was still in college and didn’t have a job so I couldn’t justify spending that money on myself, when I already had a lot of perfume, plus my sister got to have it as her ‘exclusive smell’ for the year, and now it’s MY turn! lol J

Lastly I got Aquolina Pink Sugar (30ml) for £13.95. I had heard all the hype about it on YouTube and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find it in the UK, but I happen to have found it whilst I was looking at other perfumes on CheapSmells, so I was happy! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew it would smell quite sweet. And I actually don’t like it. The bottle is very cute, but the scent makes me feel a little queasy. As you can imagine it smells very sweet, but is also smells quite vanilla, which I am not fond of. I will try and wear it and see how I feel, if my opinion hasn’t change I will give it to my mum or sister to try.
I also went shopping on Thursday to get some bits for my kitten Billy (18 weeks old, I bought him Tuesday), I won’t haul his stuff, but did I buy some items from Superdrug. Maybelline was on a 3 for 2 offer, so I went to see if there were any colour tattoos and if there was I would buy one and maybe try an eyeliner from them. So I ended up getting a Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in 05 Eternal Gold (45 Bold Gold), which cost £4.99 and two of their Master Drama Khol Liners in Ultra Violet and Ultra Black, which were £4.49 each, but I got one free because of the offer.­
I also forgot to mention something I bought in March. I got an Elle & Blair Glitzy-Glam customised brush holder (£12.62 + £11.08 P&P + £1.79 tax = £25.49). I chose the letter ‘R’, main colour Purple and secondary colour Lavender. It is really lovely, but I kind of regret it because it cost way too much for what it is, but like I said it is really lovely. I wasn’t expecting the tax at all, the company taxed the 79p and my bank charge you £1 per overseas transaction! I am actually looking into making my own because I have a small glass, with my face brushes in at the moment, so I want to customise it so it goes with my Glitzy-Glam one.

P.S. My next post will be a review! J

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...

TAG - The Good, The Bad, The British

Photo: EnchantedIvyGifts.co.uk I was browsing my subscription videos on YouTube and I saw that EssieButton uploaded a new TAG video called The British Tag, and after watching it I decided I wanted to do the TAG too. I believe this TAG was created by BeautyCrush , so all credit is awarded to her. 1. How many cups of tea do you have a day & how do you take it? I drink around three cups of tea a day and I take mine with one small sugar and a bit of semi-skimmed milk. Tea is also the only hot drink I like. 2. What is your favourite part of a Sunday roast? My favourite part of a roast is the vegetables. I love kale & leak and broccoli! My Mum’s gravy is also to die for. 3. What is your favourite dunking biscuit? I don’t dunk biscuits anymore, but when I was younger I loved dunking Bourbons. If I was to dunk a biscuit now, I would probably choose either a Rich Tea or plain Digestive. 4. What is your quintessential British pastime? I love visiting ruins/m...
