I was watching Zoella’s video about her
new and upcoming Beauty and Lifestyle collections and saw that this gift set
would be on offer for Christmas. I thought it would be perfect for me, as I
have already tried two of the scents and I was interested in testing the other
two and I didn’t want to risk purchasing a full size bottle of either straight
away. This set actually shouldn’t be for sale yet, but apparently Superdrug
have some sort of test sale policy where they can sell items a while before
they are officially released to see how well they can sell. I find this
arrangement a little odd, they must just want to be the first to sell stuff and
get the exclusive! Either way, this policy allowed me to buy the gift set this
month, even though it is a Christmas release. It’s name is also a play on the
tradition, ‘Secret Santa’.
The bottles are the same as the full
size versions, but smaller and cuter. They are square shaped and made of glass
with plastic caps. They all have the regular spritzer applicator and each
bottle has a different design back drop. Blissful
Mistful has a white polka dot backdrop with a rose gold cap. Let’s Spritz! has a white lace backdrop
with a metallic turquoise and white polka dot cap. Sweet Inspirations has a light pink backdrop with a gold shell like
pattern and it also has a gold cap. Bake
My Day! has a white diagonal gingerbread man backdrop and a bronze cap. It
also has a white inscription on the front which reads; “A super indulgent warming gingerbread and vanilla scent, with top
notes of cinnamon and chocolate. It’s delicious!”. Each bottle contains
15ml of liquid.
Blissful Mistful
“A beautiful soft, feminine fragrance with notes of Strawberry,
Grapefruit, Violet, Jasmine and Gardenia”
I have had a bottle of this scent
before and I wasn’t too keen on it, but I think I have changed my mind. It is a
nice delicate and fresh scent and I like it even more every time I spray it
Let’s Spritz!
“A fresh and fruity spritz with delicate notes of Raspberry and Cassis”
I have also had a bottle of this one
before and I love it. It smells so fruity and sparkly and you really get that
raspberry note.
Sweet Inspirations
“A delicious gourmand fragrance with notes of Sweet Almond, Creamy
Vanilla and Honey”
This scent is a more recent release and
I loved the idea of the collection, but I wasn’t sure about the scent
description. It is delicate, but it reminds me of coconut and there isn’t
coconut in it, so it must be the almond and honey mixed. I dislike the scent of
coconut and I’m not overly keen on this scent but it is ok. I probably wouldn’t
wear it, but I wouldn’t rule out using it as a room spray.
Bake My Day!
“A warming indulgent fragrance with notes of Ginger, Vanilla, Cinnamon
and Chocolate”
This is a brand new scent for this
Christmas and should be available separate to this set. You can really smell
the ginger and cinnamon and it smells just like Jamaican Gingerbread Loaf. It’s
not really the type of scent you would think about wearing and I am not overly
keen on this scent either, but it would be nice maybe as a room spray, but the
cake smell is quite strong. It is definitely more suited to the winter months,
rather than an all year round type scent.
All of the scents last quite a long
time on the skin, but as they are mists they won’t last as long as regular
perfumes. Overall I think we can conclude that I do not like the food related scents.
I don’t really like Sweet Inspirations, which is supposed to smell like
macarons or Bake My Day!, which does smell like gingerbread. I do like the
other two scents though, but they are just fruity and floral. Let’s Spritz! is
my favourite out of the four. This is a good little set to give as a gift to
someone or you could split them up and make your own little gift bundles for
your loved ones. It has cured my curiosity about the two new scents, but I am
left a little disappointed by them. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Zoella
Lifestyle collection, which should be released soon.
