OMG I Didn't Realise How Many Perfumes I had (Part 1)

-
As the title states I really didn't have a clue how many perfumes I had until I put them together for the photo below.  I'm ashamed to say this doesn't include the box sets that are on top of my wardrobe or under my bed (I'll save them for another day!!).


I don't really have a favourite perfume as I like to swap and change and just pick up perfumes in the Next/Boots and Debenhams Christmas sales and also in Duty Free at the airport.

Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy 30 ml.  I haven't used this yet but really liked this scent when I tried it in Debenhams. I think I won this in a Debenhams competition.  Its a lovely fresh and floral fragrance. It contains wild berries, mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines.  I can't wait to use it.  I might put it on next months use it or lose it challenge.
Tom Ford - Violet Blonde 50ml.  Another one I haven't opened yet but couldn't resist buying at Duty Free. Theres just something about Tom Fords range of products that I can't resist. The perfumes top notes are violet leaf, pink pepper and Italian mandarin. The central part of the perfume contains Tuscan iris, orris butter, sampaquita and jasmine. The base is made up of musk, suede, cedar, vetiver and benzoin.


Tom Ford - Black Orchid 50ml.  I find this one quite strong so I only tend to wear it on nights out.  The top notes consist of French jasmine, black truffle, ylang-ylang, black currant and effervescent citrus. The central part consists of black orchid, lotus and spices while the base is a mix of patchouli, sandalwood, chocolate, incense, amber, vetiver, vanilla and balsam.

 
Vera Wang - Preppy Princess 30ml.  Another one I haven't opened yet.  I don't remember what made me buy this as I'm way too old to be using a perfume called Preppy Princess but I'm sure its one of those I tried on in a shop and just bought it on a whim. Its a lovely woody, fruity scent that blends succulent red berries, honeysuckle and sensual woods.

Versace - Vanitas 4.5ml x 3.  I'm pretty sure I got these in a Beauty box quite awhile ago but I cant remember which one.  Again another one I haven't opened yet (this is making me feel bad.  I am definitely going to add some perfumes to my use it or lose it challenge). This perfume combines floral and wood notes. Its a combination of lime, freesia, cedar, tonka bean and tiaré flower.

 

Marc Jacobs - Daisy Eau So Fresh 4ml x3.  I received these free when I spent a ton of money in Sephora in Las Vegas.  I love Marc Jacobs scents, especially Daisy and the original Marc Jacobs scent (I really want to buy Dot as my next perfume).  Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is light and easy to wear and features a combination which includes grapefruit, green notes, raspberry, pear, jasmine, rose, violet, litchi, apple blossom, musk, Virginia cedar and plum.
 

Chloe - Love 50ml.  Finally another one Ive actually worn.  I've aways been a fan of Chloe perfumes and the original Chloe has always been one of my faves.  This was the second Chloe scent I tried and while I'm not sure I would buy it again when I run out, (yes I'm actually going to run out of one of my perfumes) it is a pleasant scent which I generally wear through the day.  It contains orange blossom, pink pepper, iris, lilac, wisteria, hyacinth, heliotrope, powdery musk, talc and rice powder. 
 
 
I think I will leave it there for today as there are a few too many to write about and I don't want to go on forever and bore you all.  Writing about these perfumes has reminded my why I bought them and makes me what to try them all out rather that have them just decorating my shelves.  I will do another post soon with the other perfumes. 

What perfumes would you recommend I try?  I have a few perfumes on my wish list, including Marc Jacobs Dot, Chanel Coco Noir, Guerlain Le Petite Robe Noire, Jimmy Choo and Givenchy Dahlia Noir.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
