Perfect Summer Scent..

Who loves Anthropology? Urmmm ME!!! I adore everything about the shop it is just divine and having one local to me is fabulous!

I found it hard to find a perfume for my wedding but found one in Anthropology from the brand Royal Apothic, I fell in love with the whole range of perfumes available from floral to spicy and sweet. For Christmas I was lucky to get this in my stocking, thank you father Christmas! I adore the scent of rose and rarely find the scent to be like walking into a rose garden until I met this little bottle.

The bottle is packaged in a fabric holder which has a piece of fabric you pull to reveal the pretty hand bag friendly bottle. The bottle is a beautiful ombre colour with a handy spray.

The scent is like someone has picked a fresh rose from the garden, it is the best rose scent I have come across, I am in love! This is perfect for spring/summer.

Top Notes:

Bergamot

Grapefruit

Rose Petal

Middle Notes:

Linden

Flower

Geranium

Base Notes:

Vanilla

Black Orchid

How handy is this that they feature on the back of the box? I rarely see perfume companies put the exact notes for all to see.

So if you are looking for a beautiful scent in pretty packaging go visit Anthropology for all the scents available in full size or a handy clutch bag size.

Size featured is 10ml at £18.00 which I have had since Christmas and used weekly so does last as you don't need a lot of the product to be able to smell it through the day.

Have you tried any of this range?

Review: Yves Rocher Quelques Notes d'Amour Perfume

A sunny day makes me so happy, that and a gorgeous scented perfume so when Yves Rocher contacted me to review a perfume I was happy to say yes. This perfume has what I would describe a romantic scent, I instantly got a comment from my husband when I wore it, which is a good sign as he doesn't pay attention to those kind of things! I would have more photos but the lovely laptop would not allow my camera to load any of the other images no matter what I did, so apologise for the one photo show!

This perfume is sweet but not overpowering, it has notes of sweet and fruity Rose Damascena with Guaviac wood as the smokey accent. It reminds me of Chanel! My mama wears Chanel and I swear this is so similar, I love it and have worn it daily. It lasts and I love when I suddenly swish- Yes please imagine me swishing my hair randomly, I get a whiff of the gorgeous scent.

The packaging is simple yet feminine with clear glass and a simple lid showing the Yves Rocher symbol on the bottom. The perfume is certainly one I would highly recommend and with mothers day round the corner I would suggest this as a great gift for your lovely mummys.

The perfume retails at £34 for 30 ml and hurry as they have 30% off at the moment! click here!

Review: Yves Rocher

Hello beautiful readers,

Hope you are all well. I am so excited for christmas and trying to get all the finishing touches completed. Todays review is around a brand, Yves Rocher a french brand that brings glamour and great value. I was lucky enough to be sent these three products.

Yves Rocher Lipstick.

This moisturising lipstick is in the shade Rose Alba. This particular lipstick is quite sheer, it adds a subtle pink finish to the lips, in comparison with MAC finishes it is a frost finish. The lipstick is such a pretty colour, it left my lips moisturised but I did need to reapply frequently.

Lipstick can be bought here.

Yves Rocher Flowerparty by night perfume.

I normally go for particular brands of perfume and never think to order from places like Yves Rocher especially when I cant smell the scents. I opened the box to find a cute flower top detail bottle, it looked expensive. It stated it was a "spicy night time version with an addictive liquorice accent". I sprayed this scent and I cant stress enough how beautiful this scent is, has now become one of my favourite scents, it is long lasting and such a gorgeous unusual scent. It is floral but sweet which is perfect, it has a subtle spicy note. I adore this and wear it everyday. Would highly recommend this.

You can buy the perfume here. It is currently on offer for only £19.00.

Yves Rocher Mascara.

Yves Rocher waterproof mascara. This mascara is stating is is a "lash plumping" mascara, I have to admit I dont feel this mascara necessarily gives yours lashes an oomph, but it definately lengthens. I love the brush, it separates the lashes and defines each lower lash which is something I need for my lashes. It is waterproof and didnt budge when water was applied, yet is not hard to take off with eye makeup remover. I still think the Yves Rocher Sexy Pump mascara is my favourite.
