Serial Sampler #22

I first saw this perfume when the advertisement was broadcast on television last year (2019). Dua Lipa is the model/spokesperson for the scent. I really wanted to test it as I got a sexy vibe from it, but I only looked up the notes when I received the sample.

It is Libre by Yves Saint Laurent and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

“The first floral lavender for a singular trail like a breath of freedom. The iconic orange blossom flower from Morocco, a luminous and sensual white flower, twisted by the lavender from France, an ambiguous flower often considered as masculine, bringing boldness, freshness and texture. A fragrance as a shout of freedom, the freedom to live everything to the fullest.”

It contains a mixture of notes such as; Mandarin Orange, Lavender, Black Currant, Petitgrain, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Madagascar Vanilla, Cedar, Ambergris and Musk.
I wasn’t expecting to like this scent after I read what notes were in it, as it was described as a floral lavender scent. I was surprisingly wrong, it smells absolutely stunning! I don’t really detect the lavender (good for me), but I do smell the vanilla and a mixture of the other floral notes. It kind of almost reminds me of a fresher and fruitier version of Loverdose by Diesel. It does smell sexy, but in a fresh and not dark and woody way. There is the right balance of musk and it is not overpowering It is mostly tailed to women, but I think it could actually be unisex as it is not too fruity. I wouldn’t mind smelling this scent on a man! I would 100% buy a bottle of this and highly recommend that you give it a sniff. I won’t be purchasing it straight away though, as I am on a no buy for perfumes as I have some to use up and I have not long purchased a 100ml bottle of Avril Lavigne Black Star EDP!

You can buy it in 10ml (£N/A/$30), 30ml (£56/$78), 50ml (£78/$104) and 90ml (£100/$130) and it is available at places such as; YSLBeauty.co.uk and Sephora.

L'ORÉAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture Mascara

I bought this mascara and while ago with the intentions of reviewing it, but I only wear mascara when I wear eyeshadow, which is not very often these days. It has taken me a while to get around to trying out this mascara. The packaging is made of purple and gold plastic and it has a sort of tapered oval shape. The brush is small and made of rubber. It has longer bristles towards the bottom and shorter bristles at the top. The formula is creamy and kind of thick, but it does feel lightweight on your lashes. You get 9.5ml of product in the tube and the shade is Noir/Black. You can buy it for £10.99 from places such as Boots (UK), Superdrug (UK) and Ulta (USA). It is supposed to give your lashes definition and volume without making them clumpy or feeling stiff. The couture brush should coat every lash without clumps and it has small soft bristles, which should reach each lash and evenly spread the mascara. There’s nothing special about the packaging it is just a nice masc...

Haul: Small Unmentioned Purchases

For today’s post I am going to share with you a few products that I have recently purchased and have not mentioned. I actually purchased one of the products last year but I thought I would include it anyway because I have not mentioned it before. The product I bought last year was from Asda and it is the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream/Gel Eyeshadow in Pink Gold . I bought it for £4.99 and I got it because I thought it was limited edition but as it turned out it is actually permanent. It is a gorgeous colour! Now for the products I have bought recently this year. The Urban Decay Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette  for £35 from BeautyBay.com. I have used this palette a few times and I really like it. From Superdrug I picked up a Maybelline theROCKET Volum’Express Mascara  in the shade Black because I was interested in trying it and I got it for £5.99 because it had a £2 off offer. From Home Bargains I picked up another can of the TRESemmé Extra Hold...
