Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Stories'

I’ve had this perfume for a while now and I originally bought it as part of a gift set during the Christmas sales.

The bottle is made of clear glass and it is hexagonal shaped. I believe the bottle is supposed to look like a New York skyscraper. The neck of the bottle has a thick metallic ring around it, with DKNY printed around it. On top of the ring sits the metallic cylindrical cap, which lifts off to reveal a spritzer which you press down to dispense the scent. You can purchase it in 30ml (£43.50), 50ml (£59.50) and 100ml (£79.50/$98.00) from DonnaKaran.com and Boots.com.

The fragrance notes are:-

Top Notes: Guava, Milk Mousse, Pink Pepper & Black Cardamom

Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Iris & White Tea

Base Notes: Vanilla, White Sandalwood & Ambergris

I like bottle design; it is simple but beautifully elegant. It is quite a strong scent, so it will last a very long time on your skin. The scent is divine! It is quite a mature scent compared to my usual tastes, but it still smells really sparkling. It is definitely a floral scent, but there are just enough non-floral notes to tone it down so it doesn’t smell like a really mature floral scent. I can really smell the pink pepper, jasmine sambac, vanilla and white sandalwood notes. It is one of my favourite perfumes and I highly recommend you give it a sniff. I will definitely look at buying the 100ml bottle when I have finished this 30ml one.

Glamour Magazine - August 2014

Today I finally got my hands on the Glamour Magazine August 2014 Issue. I had been waiting for two weeks because the gift brand is Clinique and I really wanted the issue with the Clinique Chubby Stick in and they were always the first to go, but I finally have mine! I really wanted a chubby stick, but there were four gifts to choose from overall:- Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry Chubby Stick in Woppin’ Watermelon High Impact Mascara Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+ I got Woppin’ Watermelon Chubby Stick and it is a nice light pink shade. The formula is very sheer, but very shiny. I can see myself wearing this a lot! You also get a free sample sachet of Garnier Moisture Match in Shine Be Gone on Page 57. In next month’s issue it looks like the free gift brand will be Elemis. I probably won’t buy next month’s issue because the only reason I bought this one was to get a chubby stick. What did you think August’s issue? ♥ ♥ ♥

Perfume Power! - Katie Price 'Stunning'

I received this perfume as a present for my 17 th birthday. The bottle design is very simple and feminine. It is diamond inspired, with a diamond shaped cap and the bottle is a classic Hollywood style shape. There is also a silver coloured plastic band around the neck of the bottle, which displays the perfume name, as well as Katie’s name. The fragrance notes are:- Mandarin, Jasmine, Patchouli & other unknown notes, possibly floral! To me it smells fruity and floral, with a hint of musk. I can smell the mandarin, which I think gives the scent an oriental feel. It is slightly a mature scent, which still smells young and fresh, so it appeals to women of all ages. I couldn’t find a list of the full notes, but if you were to smell it, you may be able to pick certain notes out. It also lasts quite a while on your skin. Next also have a perfume called Diamonds , which is almost identical, if you have good ‘scent detectors’, you will notice that there is a slight d...

Glossybox #21 - February 2016

I always look forward to the themed Glossyboxes and this box just looks lovely. I love the colours and the little love design on the lid (better than last February’s box!). Inside the tissue paper is the same hot pink colour as the base of the box and the tissue confetti is white. Here is what I got in my Valentine’s Day themed Glossybox for February:- Nicka K New York 24H Waterproof Eyeliner in Dark Brown | 0.3g - £3.99 | This is a nice product. I like the colour and it could also be used for your brows because it is so soft and the tip is quite fine. It definitely doesn’t stay on for twenty-four hours. It is slightly water resistant, but not waterproof. It doesn’t compare to the Urban Decay ones. MUA Power Pout Glaze Low Voltage Gloss in Rapture | 3.2ml - £3.50 | This looks like a chubby lipstick at first and when you take the cap off, it reveal the wide, flat lip brush applicator. They could have definitely got away with a slightly smaller applicator. You ...
