Perfume Power! - Justin Bieber 'Girlfriend'

I had wanted to purchase this perfume for years, ever since I had a sample of it. I held off buying it because I am not or never was a Justin Bieber fan and I thought it would be a little embarrassing to own something of his. Now I am a bit older, I don’t really care because I love smelling lovely and I remembered this scent being very lovely.
The bottle itself it made out of purple glass and it is heart shaped and quite long and narrow. The bottle is encased inside a pink and purple springy plastic sort of case. I’m not really sure how to describe the casing. You are able to remove the bottle from the casing. The casing comes in two parts (cap and cup) which fit together by two weak magnets. I think the bottle design is supposed to represent a real heart. The purple bottle would be the heart and the casing would be your rib cage. It has a regular button press spritzer to dispense the scent. It is available in 30ml (£20), 50ml (£29.00) and 100ml (£40.00). I’m not too sure if you can actually buy it anymore. For those of you that live in the UK, it can still be purchased from AllBeauty.com at a discounted price.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Blackberry, Big Strawberry & Pear
Middle Notes: Pink Freesia, Star Jasmine, Apricot & Orange Blossom
Base Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Musk & White Amber

The bottle design is ok, but the casing is ridiculous! I thought the casing would just be a nice 3D design stuck onto the bottle, but no. The casing is pointless. The bottle doesn’t fit snug inside the casing, so it wobbles about. The magnets that hold the cap casing onto the bottom cup casing are very weak, so they easily part and wouldn’t be good for travelling. The casing just makes the product as a whole unnecessarily large. I have actually thrown the casing away, it just bugs me that there is not a separate small cap for the spritzer. The scent is not original or unique. It actually reminds me of the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume, which I already own and love. The scent is very nice, fruity and fresh. You can really smell the floral and orange notes. It does last for a long time on the skin and it isn’t over powering, so you don’t have to worry about spraying too much. I would recommend this perfume if you like Viva La Juicy, but want a more affordable and juvenile design option. I most likely won’t re-purchase this perfume as I already own Viva La Juicy and they both smell the same to me on my skin. I would be more likely to re-purchase the Juicy Couture one regardless of the price because I prefer their bottle design and it does smell nicer and slightly deeper. On a whole, I think Girlfriend is supposed to attract the younger Justin Bieber fans, but although the design is a little juvenile, the scent isn’t and will complement anyone who wears it.

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...
