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.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box. Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...

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. · ...
