Serial Sampler #1

Today I thought I would share with you a couple of perfume samples I bought from eBay recently. I had heard of them before and I was just curious because the bottles look quite nice and they remind me of Alice in Wonderland.

They are both by Vivienne Westwood and are called Cheeky Alice and Naughty Alice.
The Cheeky Alice sample I have is a 1.2ml eau de toilette. The sample packaging is a sort of salmon peach colour with gold detailing.

“A cheeky and audacious twist of fresh peony and juicy plum, playing on top of a velvety floral heart”

It smells quite classic and it is suitable for all ages and tastes. It is slightly mature smelling, but it is still nice. The floral notes stand out the most.
The Naughty Alice sample I have is a 1.2ml eau de parfum. The sample packaging is a mint aqua blue sort of colour with gold detailing.

“A violet dash of provocation wrapped in a velvety rose veil of cheeky sophistication”

It smells quite woodsy and leafy. I would say it is more targeted towards a mature taste. It smells slightly crispy and herbally too.

Overall I prefer Cheeky Alice because it is more delicate and closer to my tastes. Naughty Alice is not what I expected at all. It is quite the assault on the senses! It just smells quite earthy and strange. Although I like Cheeky Alice, I am not sure if I would buy a full size bottle of it. I will definitely steer clear of Naughty Alice.

What do you think of these perfumes?

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.

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...
