Victoria's Secret Perfume Review.

I bought this perfume about a month ago from duty free just before my holiday (see haul here) and have started using it over the past week to give myself a change up as I've been wearing Rihanna's Rogue constantly since Autumn came round. I had never tried any fragrances from Victoria's Secret as they always sounded so girly and sweet and I prefer warm woody scents however the Victoria scent is really lovely. 

Top Notes - Red Berries

Middle Notes - Roses

Base Notes - Creme Brulee and Caramel

Now when I heard that mixture of scents I could not work out how they were going to compliment each other however it really is a beautiful fragrance, for me the base notes are the most prominant and I dont get much of the berry note at all which if im honest is a bonus for me as fruity scents aren't ones I really go for. The only trouble is this fragrance like many others changes and adapts to different skins so when I sprayed this on a friend it was very floral and fruity so if you were thinking about buying it I would try it on your skin first to see if it adapts the way you want it to. 

I do really like this fragrance and that beautiful bottle does sit quite pretty on my dressing table (reminds me of the Nina Ricci bottle) it was £35 for 50ml which is quite cheap for that size bottle and means I can use it a little more liberally than some of my more expensive ones. Overall it is a lovely scent but would be one to try to see how it comes out on you personally. 

Let me know your favourite Autumn/Winter scent, I read and reply to any comments

HUGE Haul!!

So I've recently got back off holiday and have definitely done some damage to my poor bank account! I did pick some of these things from duty free, and the others I have got are either from my work (Superdrug) or Debenhams as they currently have 10% off all beauty so I did make some really good savings! (trying to validate this haul to myself) There is quite a lot to get through so I'll just put short descriptions of each product, if you would like a review post on any of these then please leave a comment below. 

First is the Cargo Cosmetics 'Back to Nature' palette; I wasn't planning on buying anymore eyeshadows as my palette collection is getting abit extensive and there isn't many colours that I dont have, however I really like all of these shades and there isn't one thats going untouched which is so unual for a non custom palette. The shades are all really pigmented and blend beautifully, there is a variation of finishes including, matte, metallic, satin and glitter. 

Obviously I had to pick up some lip products as they are definitely my weakness! I finally picked up Mac's Creme Cup which I got from duty free and used everyday on holiday, it really is a perfect everyday pink. I then bought one of the new L'Oreal Privee Reds collection lipsticks which is Julianne's, this is the pinkest of the range and is the formula of this lipstick is a-maz-ing! Finally I bought my first Bobbi Brown lipstick in the shade Tulle, again a really lovely everyday shade, and beautiful with a smoked bronze eye. 

For face products I had quite a major splurge; after alot of deliberation I persuaded to buy myself the Chanel  Soleil De Tan which is a cream based bronzer and is just beautiful. I decided to try one of Mac's MSF Naturals which is fast becoming my favourite face powder. For a blush I bought an Estee Lauder in Peach Passion, the shade looks much pinker on the camera as its a beautiful coral/peach. 

Skincare wise I've tried three new products to me which I have wanted to try but needed to finish others first. I'm super lazy with moisturising my body so I got the Spray & Go by Vaseline to try and make it more convenient and quick for the winter months. The Estee Lauder 3in1 Cleanser is something I've heard alot about and have been excited to try as its difficult to find facial care products that dont cause my sensitive skin to get irritated. Finally I bought the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Serum, I used the BB cream from this range last year and really loved it so hoping that I will enjoy this just as much. 

The last items I bought were two perfumes both from duty free, I got Down Town by Calvin Klein which I used to wear at work all the time, it's a really light, pretty scent but has great longevity. I then tried a scent I've never had before, Victoria's Secret's fragrance Victoria, this is super girly and with the base note of Creme Brule, perfect for the winter months!

And thats it! Thanks for reading, please leave any comments below, I read and reply to everyone!
