Christmas Beauty Haul #1

This post is a bit late I know, but I had to wait for the Vera Wang perfume to be delivered to my local store. I am going to share with you the beauty related gifts I received for Christmas, as well as a few extra bits I have bought myself.
On Christmas Day I received the Soap & Glory Best Of All gift set, which includes nine full sized products, Soap & Glory Showers That Glee gift set, which includes five full sized products, Nivea All About Luscious Lips gift set, which includes four lip balms, BaByliss Limited Edition Exquisite Hair Dryer set, which includes a hair dryer carry bag, hair brush and two styling hair clips and PRO Beauty Tools Twilight Sparkle Ceramic Styler hair straighteners.
Early on Christmas morning I discovered that the Boots.com Christmas Sale had started on Christmas Eve, so I quickly browsed and I found that everything I wanted was out of stock and I already knew my store didn’t do the gift set’s I wanted, so I was pretty annoyed! I managed to get one item I wanted, the Vera Wang Lovestruck Gift Set for £23.33 (was £35), which includes the 30ml eau de parfum; 75ml shower gel and 75ml body lotion all inside a gorgeous pink box, which can be re-used. On Boxing Day I went into Boots to see if there were any gift set’s left and there was very little and not any I wanted, but I picked up the Soap & Glory Cream and Soaper Set for £5 (was £10) anyway. The duo set consists of a 250ml Hand Food hand cream and 250ml Wash Your Hands Of It liquid hand soap.
Lastly I bought a few other bits recently that are not Christmas related, but I am going to include them anyway. I wanted to try out a different brand of basic skincare and I saw these a while ago, so I decided to get them. I got the Morrisons So Clear Deep Clean Cleanser, Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser and Morrisons So Clear Deep Cleansing Facial Wipes, all were £1.99 each. I also went to Boots and bought some more Oral B Precision Clean Toothbrush Heads for £10.99 (was £16.49), it is a pact of four and Boots was the cheapest place to get them at the time as they can be quite expensive to say they are just toothbrush heads!

So that was my short Christmas/Random haul, it definitely won’t be the last of the year, but I am trying to cut down on the spending and use up what I have. With me it’s more quality than quantity because I don’t own masses amount of make-up, but what I do own is from brands like Urban Decay and I barely use the products. I aim to use them more, as well as using up other products like eyeliners, because I have a long list of products to buy and test this year. Bye for now J

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’.   It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020   Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...
