The Only Way Is Essex Dazzle Perfume Gift Set

I've been debating whether to get the TOWIE perfume for a while, wondering whether it would smell nice so when I saw this gift set in Tesco for just £7.50 I had to get it! The perfume which is named 'Dazzle' is described as an intricate blend of white florals, vanilla and amber, with top notes of neroli, tangerine, apple and grapefruit with a floral heart of jasmine, violet, peony and presented in a diamond shaped gold bottle. The scent in my opinion is something I would use for work as it's cheap and saves using my expensive perfumes. It's fruity and sweet with a hint of vanilla, not everyone's taste and most definitely a younger person's perfume! I'm not a big fan of the bottle, I like the shape, the top and the little gold bow, but the gold colour makes it look cheaply made and tacky! The bottle would of been much more stylish if it was clear, there isn't even anything on the bottle itself to state that it is a TOWIE perfume, if you seen the bottle without it's box it could of been made by anyone! The perfume also comes with a body lotion which smells the same as the perfume, I think I would use this as hand cream rather than a body lotion though! I like the scent and I think it's a good buy for £7.50 and would make a good gift for christmas, but I wouldn't buy it all full price as much as I love The Only Way Is Essex! Has anyone used this perfume before? What do you think?

Superdrug's mix and match.

So today I found myself shopping yet again, mainly for any last minute presents so I decided Superdrug would have been a cheaper option as they have their 3 for 2 mix and match items. I can't say I was entirely impressed with their selection to give as gifts but I did stumble across a few things for myself (surprise, surprise). I'd been looking online at the The Only Way Is Essex range of cosmetics for quite some time so I had a quick look and picked up the Totally Kissable High Shine Crystal Lip Glosses, they did look quite frighteningly bright in the packaging and wasn't sure whether I would like them but I got them anyway and once I got home and tried them on they were fine, they actually came out a lot lighter and shimmery than I thought which I am pleased with! The next item I picked up instantly is a gift pack of Simple skincare products, nothing exciting but for a cleanser, toner and moisturiser for the price of £7.99 I thought it was a bargain! Last but not least, I picked up a Charlie Pink perfume gift pack, I need some perfume to wear at work and hate using my expensive perfumes for work, so Charlie was a cheap option and again being £6.99 it was a good price for body lotion, perfume and body spray and it smells nice, so who am I to complain!? To make it even better, all the items being part of the 3 for 2 mix and match range meant I got the lipglosses technically for free, originally being £5.99 and being the cheapest item out of the three, so in total I paid £14.98, brilliant! The only thing I did fail on today was presents for other people... ooops!!!!!! Here's some pictures...

Christina Aguilera 'Secret Potion' Review..

It's been a while since I blogged about Christina's fragrance 'Secret Potion' so since I have now purchased it, I thought I would let you all know what it's like. I'm actually quite pleased with this fragrance, i've brought her previous perfumes before and don't get me wrong I have liked them all, but after a few minutes of spraying and I never seemed to be able to smell them on myself, so since the new one was out I just hoped it was one that would be long lasting... and it is! I sprayed this about 3 hours ago on my neck and wrists and I can still smell it now so i'm impressed! It's a very fruity and musky scent in a very cute, girly bottle and I LOVE the  packaging, definitely one her best fragrances, but the only downside to it all is, is how i've sprayed the perfume (which is a 50ml sized bottle) about 6 times since my purchase and i'm almost half way through it! I am getting more for christmas as you can see below it's available in a gift set with body lotion and a black clutch bag! Also if you purchase a 50ml or bigger bottle of 'Secret Potion' from Boots or Superdrug you get a free silver clutchbag for a limited time and maybe even some samples (as you can see below from my picture) I recommend this perfume to any Christina Aguilera fan or anyone who likes fruity, musky perfumes!!

Christina Aguilera's Secret Potion..

Being a huge fan of Christina Aguilera i was really excited when she recently tweeted that she was releasing a new perfume. 'Secret Potion' which is Christina's fifth fragrance has been described as a 'mysterious and erotic evening fragrance for women who like to be in the spotlight' for women whose 'beauty lies precisely in their strength and confidence'


Top notes: passion fruit, lemon, mandarin
Heart: jasmine, orange blossom, lotus
Base: tonka, amber, musk, ebony

Although it hasn't been released in the UK yet, Christina has released it over in Germany which is how I managed to find pictures of the perfume online and even found the promotion poster..

If the scent is anything like what the bottle looks like, it will smell divine! I'm really looking foward to this being released in the UK, i will imagine it will be here by Christmas, and hopefully have a chance to review the perfume then!!
