Perfume Power! - Hugo Boss 'BOSS Ma Vie'

I have decided to do a review on the perfume I chose from my Boots Christmas Scent set. It’s taken me a while, but I finally cashed in my voucher and picked my bottle up. For those of you that may not have seen my blog post on the perfume tester set, basically I had a set with eight vials of the best-selling female perfumes at Boots. You got a voucher with the set and you had to choose your favourite scent out of the eight and then you could take your voucher to any Boots store and claim your bottle. If you received the set as a gift, then technically you get to choose a bottle for free. I actually bought the set myself, so it meant I got to try eight different scents before decided on one. The whole idea was for me to test perfumes that I wouldn’t have chosen to test in person or ‘blind bought’ online.

I got the 30ml bottle in the eau de parfum. The bottle itself is cuboid shaped and has a little weight to it. It has a gold band around the top with the brand name imprinted on it. I would say the bottle is made out of glass and is a pearl nude pink colour. The cap is a clear plastic cuboid shape with a slightly diagonally slanted top. This perfume has a classic gold spritzer button to dispense the scent.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Cactus Flower
Middle Notes: Pink Freesia, Jasmine & Rose
Base Notes: Cedar & Wood

I do really like this scent. I can mostly smell the jasmine and cedar, but the freesia does peek through. It smells really light, fresh, feminine and kind of sparkling. As the notes suggest, it is a floral scent. It is definitely not my typical choice for a perfume, but it is a nice surprise and it does last a while on your skin. I really like the bottle and it has a nice classic kind of look to it.

Overall I really do like this scent and I can see that as I wear it more, I may begin to love it even though it is not a typical scent choice for me. I would definitely recommend it and I think it is suitable for any age, although I do think it would appeal more to the older generation as it is quite light. At this moment in time, I don’t see myself re-purchasing it, but this could change.

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. ·       ...
