Perfume Power! - VERSACE 'Vanitas'

I received this perfume as a 4.5ml sample in the Glossybox March 2012 Harrods Edition box.

The bottle is the exact same as the full sized bottle but in miniature form, but the bigger sizes have a spritz and the sample can be tipped onto the skin to release the scent. The bottle shape is a sort of cuboid with one curved edge and it is a very classic design and the cap is gold in colour with the VERSACE name inscribed on it with a leaf patterned border. The liquid colour is a tinted with a yellow/gold, barely noticeable but it makes a big difference in the way the perfume/bottle looks as a whole.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Lime

Middle Notes: Freesia & Tiare Flower

Base Notes: Virginia Cedar Wood & Tonka Bean

This perfume is a mostly floral scent with a soft fruity lime twist. It smells really clean, fresh and feminine and is a perfect match if you are after a spring scent. It lasts quite a while on the skin and the more you spray the stronger the scent is, so it can be doubled up as a night time scent. It also comes across as a classic type of scent, yet it would appeal to all ages because it doesn’t smell like the typical classic powdery grandma scent.

If you happen to come across this scent in stores, I definitely recommend that you test it. It is unlike any other perfume I own and I am really tempted to purchase it in one of the bigger sizes.

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price · Released in 2007 (12 years ago). · Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. · Classed as a floral scent. · Marketed as an adult’s fragrance. · Diamonds by Next is a confirmed dupe of this perfume, but the bottle is completely different.

Urban Decay Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes eyeliner. I am going to review the product as a whole, even though I only have it in the one shade. This product is a jumbo/chubby lip pencil with a black plastic lid. It is just like the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners, but bigger. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Theodora is a bright, creamy, glossy cherry red shade and is Limited Edition, but it is part of the regular line and is instead called F-Bomb . You get 2.8g of product and it is full size. You also have to sharpen it to dispense more product. The formula is smooth, creamy, glossy and slightly tacky, but not sticky. This product is supposed to give your lips an opaque, saturated and pigment rich colour with a glossy finish. It is also mean’t to be quite creamy so that it glides onto your lips. The product is also said to contain plant derived ingredients, whi

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat
