CURRENT PERFUME FAVOURITES

Hey everyone! 

Today is a super quick post about two perfumes I've been loving recently! Hope they give you some ideas if you're on the hunt for a new beautiful scent!

I'm a huge fan of perfumes and my favourite is a coconut scent, however I also love scents which are different to what you'd normally test and these two perfumes fit the bill. 

This Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears is quite the classic affordable perfume. I struggle to find anyone who doesn't have at least one perfume from her what seems, never ending range. My ultimate number 1 Britney Spears perfume is Curious. It's one of the first perfumes I owned when I was about 11 or 12 and it has such a distinctive scent, it's just always going to be one of my favourites. But, we're talking about Midnight Fantasy. This one I've tried many times before in the shops but never went ahead and purchased it. I always loved it when I'd test it so I don't know why I didn't buy it before, I think it might have felt like I was going against Curious! This one has a stronger scent but nothing overpowering at all, it's very distinctive and wonderful. My mum and cousin usually say "You're wearing Midnight Fantasy aren't you?" when I wear it so it's definitely distinguishable! This one is very affordable and you can often purchase it for a deal around £12-15 in places like Boots, Superdrug and Savers. 

This one is, as you can see Balenciaga Paris. This one is more on the expensive side and makes a great Christmas present which is what I had for Christmas just gone. This perfume has such a soft, subtle scent. When I tried it, I immediately described it as a powdery scent, which is strange but I hope that makes sense? I don't use this one every day because I wouldn't be able to afford another one just on whim as it comes in at £67 for the 50ml. You can get different sizes obviously which then range in price. If your birthday is coming up or if you are thinking about what perfumes you may want for Christmas 2015 (yes it feels like a long way away but it will soon come around!) then try this one because I know you're going to love it as much as I do!

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE : BEAUTY EDITION

Christmas is rapidly approaching and I don't like how quick it's coming! Christmas is my favourite time of year so I really like to enjoy it and make the most of it, but it's just flying by!

As the days are whittling by so quickly, I thought it would be helpful if I put together a bit of a gift guide/idea post to help you out if you're struggling to find time to actually look for presents for friends and family!

First of all we'll get stuck into some beauty products!

Foundations:

Obviously this is quite a difficult one because you really need to know the shade of the person you are buying for as this is so difficult to get right if they're not with you to choose. If you're lucky and you know the colour (although the shade and colours do change depending on the brand!) then here's a couple of my favourite drugstore foundations:

1. L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation  - £9.99
2. L'Oreal Nutri Lift Gold Foundation - £14.99

                             Bourjois 1,2,3 Perfect Foundation - £10.99

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation - £31

 COVERGIRL Ready, Set, Gorgeous - $6.99

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup - £29.50

Here's my review of Estee Lauder - Double Wear foundation!

Concealers 

1. Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer Light - £7.99 
2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - £4.19

(Side-note: I love the lightest shade in both of these concealers as they make awesome highlighters!)

Primers

1. Elf Mineral Infused Face Primer - £6.95
2. Rimmel Match Perfection Fix & Perfect Primer - £6.99

Eyes

Lancôme Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara Gift Set - £22.50

I was lucky enough to trial this product and I absolutely love it! The mascara wand is something which allows me to get right into the lash bed and really grip each individual lash without it appearing clumpy or getting mascara all over your eyelids (which I can't stand!). After one coat, it gives you a lovely natural look but when you apply a couple of layers, you'll really get that doll effect finish which the product claims to give you!

I definitely recommend this product! It makes for a wonderful Christmas Gift Set or even if you're looking for a new mascara and eyeliner! 

1. Elf Baked Eyeshadow Palette - £10
2. Elf Baked Eyeshadow - Toasted - £3 (approx)

W7 - In The Buff - Eye Colour Palette: £4.97

Here's my product review and what it's a GREAT DUPE for!

Hair

FAST - £30 for Shampoo and Conditioner Set

Perfumes!

Here's a post I've written on each of these perfumes and where you can get them from!

I hope you found this post helpful if you're looking for gifts to buy or even if you fancy a new product to add on your Christmas wishlist! 

In the next couple of days I'll be posting a Fashion Christmas Gift Guide and also a Random Christmas Gift Guide which will include...you guessed it... random things but still awesome nonetheless!

Stay tuned and hope to see you back here soon!

My Perfume Collection!

Hi everyone!

Today is a beauty related post and is all about my favourite perfumes as you probably guessed by the title!

I'm quite perfume-obsessed and have quite a large collection going on so I've narrowed it down to my all time favourite ones!

First of all, my favourite scent is coconut. It reminds me so much of being on holiday, I don't know whether it's because the suntan lotion I use has a coconut scent to it or if it's because I use coconut shampoo and conditioner on holiday or it could be a combination of these things, but give me anything coconut-y and I'll buy it! As you'll see in the photos, each bottle is nearly empty hence how much I use & love them!

So I'll start off with my coconut collection:

This body mist is from The Body Shop. I absolutely love this one! You only need a couple of squirts of this body mist which is awesome because it lasts for a long time! It's also super affordable coming in under £10 at £7.50 and there's also a lot in the bottle! It's super coconut-y too! You can check it out here!

This second one is my Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers G Eau De Toilette perfume. This has the most beautiful coconut scent without being over-powering or anything like that. It's just the perfect perfume. The only thing I don't like is that I tend to go overboard and spray a lot and there's not a lot in the bottles but you can get different sizes. This perfume isn't sold in many places these days unfortunately but I'll link where you can get it here!

This Britney 'Curious' perfume is a staple scent that I never get tired of. It might have been around for many years now but it has such a light, beautiful scent, you can't go wrong! I love the packaging and the bottle with this perfume too, it looks like some type of potion, very eye-catching! If you shop around, you can get it for about £15 depending on the size you're after, but here's a link so you can jot down the name and find it a bit cheaper elsewhere!

This perfume is Madonna's 'Truth or Dare' perfume. This has a stronger scent, therefore you don't need as many squirts as the lighter perfumes I've already mentioned! I love this perfume and like the others mentioned, I've repurchased this and am already coming to the end of it again! This perfume started at at least £30+ when it first came out, but now you can get it as cheap as £8 or £9 which is crazy!! Here's where you can buy it for this price!

This is my Calvin Klein perfume called 'Downtown'. I can't describe this scent, it's fresh, light and not strong. It's the perfect perfume for summer or winter! This is a little more pricey starting at about £45 for 50ml. You can check it out here!

Last but certainly not least is my Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Eau de Parfum. This is the most expensive of all of the perfumes in this post but I can guarantee you'll absolutely love it! It's so elegant and the scent is quite strong but don't let this put you off because it's not one of those scents that you think "wow, that's way too strong". You only need a couple of squirts of this perfume much like the Madonna 'Truth or Dare' which is great because it lasts longer! It retails at around £61 for 50ml and you can check it out here!

I hope you enjoyed my perfume collection and I hope it gives you some ideas if you're looking for that special perfume! 

What are your favourite perfumes?

Thanks for reading!
