Review: Yves Rocher Eau De Toilette

Hello Loveys,

How are you all? Its been a while since I have blogged, I have struggled with juggling everything so had to put my blog to the back of my mind but it is very much a loved part of my life and was itching to get back into it!

Todays post is a review on the *Yves Rocher L'eau Moment de Bonheur a delicate floral fragrance with notes of Centifolia Rose and apple, with a base of Virginia Cedar. The fragrance is described as being "modern and sparkling" which to me means it is a pretty floral but a pretty fragrance for a modern woman.

The bottle is basic, a square shaped clear bottle with a simple green title which matches the green intriguing liquid inside. I spritz this perfume on my skin and found it was fresh yet girley, you can definitely smell the apple and I found it lasted throughout my busy morning. I found it reminded me a lot of the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and DKNY Apple perfumes, the scent is sweet yet not overpowering.

Have you tried this scent?

Vintage Interior Inspiration! Pretty Pastels

Hello Loveys,

Here is a post of inspiration, I love trawling through Google for inspiration, from pretty fabrics to cute ideas it all inspires me so here are a few pictures taken from Google of what has inspired me this week.

How pretty are these jars filled with a drink, tied with pretty ribbon and a wedge of lemon, definitely want to do this in summer!

I wish I could organise my desk area like this, the clash of prints with the simple white lines inspire me to change my living room!

I adore the mixture of pastels and bright shades, the pretty teapots and cutlery with a hint of nature by the addition of the pink flowers makes me think of spring!

I adore seeing vintage pieces like this beautiful door adorned in tatty vintage wallpaper, I think its stunning and would love to buy a house with a room or rooms where the tattered wallpaper has been kept on the walls!

I love vintage tins, especially pretty ones which I struggle to get hold of, so this trio of floral ones are adorable!

I think the colours within this picture attracted my eye towards it! That rose is stunning, mixed with white and vintage books makes it seem dreamy!

Which is your favourite picture?

Review: NSPA Bloom Eau De Toilette

Hello Loveys,

Todays post is a review on the new fragrances by *NSPA. NSPA is a brand I am a fan of, they are "UKs No.1 Day Spa".

The fragrance featured is Bloom, which states it is a "delicate scent which has its own story reminiscent of blissful bouquets, fresh floras and pretty petals" The packaging is very pretty with a picture of a bouquet of pink flowers on the front with the shade pink being followed throughout. The bottle is a simple yet elegant style, a clear bottle with a silver top and a white floral design. I always prefer it when you can see the perfume in the bottle, I feel it gives it an expensive feel. The fragrance is a sweet floral fragrance, it has "feminine tones" which I agree with, definitely a scent for the spring/summer days when you are walking in a field of flowers whilst wearing a pretty floaty dress.

The scent has Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose with an essential oil of Vetiver. I would say this is a perfect girley scent, it lasts well but have it in your handbag for a spritz here and there. Some floral scents can remind some people of old grannies, but this does not I can assure you, if so then that is one cool granny!
