Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mists

Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mists - £11

I'm quite new to the whole Victoria's Secret hype, as a store only opened a few months ago close to me in Sheffield. I instantly fell in love as soon as I stepped through the door - literally a girl's underwear heaven! Admittedly some of the prices make my heart stop a little, but I figured that the quality MUST be good and you'd hopefully feel amazing wearing their pieces... right?

I'd heard a lot about the Victoria's Secret beauty range and decided to test for myself, so I instantly went over to try the fragrance mists. After reading a few blog posts about how amazing these products are, I thought it was about time I invested. I'm a huge perfume lover but I hate carrying around the beautiful glass bottles when you're on the go, so these seemed like the perfect alternative. These four are my all time favourites, but it is literally so hard to decide which to buy because their range is amazing! There are so many different scents and there's definitely something for everyone.

I can't remember the exact offer they have on the beauty items, but I know the fragrance mists are around £11 each. You may think is quite steep, but I've had my very first bottle a good two months now and I'm not even a quarter down. I stocked in the Christmas 75% off sales and got a few for under £3, which is amazing compared to the normal price. They also stock each scent in other products for the bath, shower and body, which I cannot wait to try.

Latest In Beauty Samples - January

Latest In Beauty's Little Beauty Box - £1.50 (plus p+p)

Its been a while since I've had the chance to try any samples that Latest In Beauty have had on offer, purely because I've been so busy I just haven't had time. A few months ago I found that I had actually tried all the samples on offer at Latest In Beauty, or at least the ones I actually wanted to try. I decided to give it a few months to see if anything new came up so I wasn't just requesting things to try for the sake of it. Anyway the waiting paid off and there were actually some samples I liked the look of this month.

The first sample I received was the Britney Spears fragrance duo, which consisted of Fantasy and Midnight. I love trying perfumes and I'm always looking for something new, so it made sense to try these as I'd never smelt anything Britney before. To be honest I didn't really like either of these as I just thought they were quite musky and heavy. I'll not talk about them a lot in this post as I'll be doing a proper review soon, but first impressions weren't all good on these.

The second sample I received was Weleda Cellulite Oil. In all honesty I don't have any cellulite (yet) but from reading the reviews I actually quite liked the sound of it. Its more of a massage oil that is supposed to help tackle cellulite, so I'm sure it will come in handy one day. I was thinking that I could maybe do some extra research and start to use it in hope that it will prevent cellulite? I don't know, but watch this space.

The third sample I received was the Kim Kardashian fragrance, which I absolutely LOVE! It was one of those things that I really didn't think I would like, but after the tiniest smell I fell in love and I actually really want to buy it. There will be a review coming soon, so watch this space.

What do you think of the samples? Which ones would you like to try?

Marc Jacobs Dot

Marc Jacobs Dot 50ml - £47.00

If you've followed my blog for a while, you will know that I'm a massive Marc Jacobs fan and actually have a small collection of his perfumes. If I had unlimited money, or even just won the lottery, there is no doubt that I'd be covered head to toe in bags and jewellery. I have all of the Marc Jacobs perfumes apart from Daisy, which I haven't actually smelt but when I do there's no doubt I'll be buying it. I just seem to love every single one, so Daisy will more than likely be added to the list.

Dot has to be my absolute favourite so far! Its so fruity and the scent just reminds me of summer, which is just what everyone needs with this absolutely freezing weather. Dot has hints of red berry, orange blossom, coconut water, dragon fruit... the list is endless. All in all its really really fruity and really does smell absolutely lovely.

I only usually get perfume for my birthday or Christmas so without this sounding harsh, I don't really look at the price a lot. Obviously if its mega expensive I wouldn't even ask for it, but I think that £47 for a 50ml bottle is round about okay. I know everyone has their own views and exceptions on perfume budgets, but for me Marc Jacobs prices are reasonable. I think its around £38.00 for a 30ml bottle and anything up to around £65 for a 100ml, so I guess there's something to suit all budgets.

I think this would be the perfect scent for the summer. Its really light and you really don't need more than a few squirts for people to realise you're wearing perfume, if you get me? Its not too overpowering like some fruity perfumes can be and well, I just love it!

She Said Beauty - November Box

She Said Beauty November Box - £9.00 (plus p+p)

It seems like I've been waiting forever to get my next box after I subscribed last month. When I received my first month's box I was so impressed and really happy that I'd actually plucked up the courage to change from Glossy Box. I wasn't sure if I would grow to love the She Said Beauty boxes, but after receiving my second box I can honestly say that I am yet again impressed! This month I yet again received six samples in my beauty box, of which a massive four were full sized. I love that this happens with the She Said Beauty boxes, as it just makes me feel like my monthly money isn't being wasted on tiny little sachets.

This month I received:
Makebelieve Luminize Skin Highlighter, Murrays Manicure Nail Files,
Collection Primed & Ready Primer, Weleda Wild Rose Night Cream,
Redken Shampoo & Conditioner, Yardley Royal English Daisy EDT
and finally So...? Brit Body Spray.

I don't think there's a sample that I don't love from this month's box... AGAIN! There are a few brands that I haven't heard of, such as Redken and Weleda, but I can't wait to try them out to see what they're like. I'm also really excited to try the Makebelieve Highlighter. I've been eyeing up the Topshop one that everyone seems to be loving at the minute, but seeing as this little beauty has popped up I've decided to resist temptation. I think that this month's samples are again a really good mix and I know that I'll definitely be able to (and actually want to) try them all.

There will no doubt be reviews on my blog in the next couple of weeks, depending of which samples I decided to try first, so watch this space.

My Daily Want #3

Marc Jacobs Dot - £37- £63 (approx)

Marc Jacobs perfumes are my all time favourite brand and I've started up my own little collection over the past few months. They are all such summery fragrances and they really do last agers. I have two 50ml bottles of Lola and Oh Lola! and a huge 100ml bottle of Oh Lola! too! I'm going to try and collect them all.

Dot is the newest fragrance and it smells amazing! I had a little sample the other day and I had to tare myself away before I bought it and broke my bank. Again it is very floral (statement Marc J) and its one of those things where when you first smell it, you just have to keep smelling over and over again - its that nice. Prices range from about £37 on wards, which to be honest is my normal perfume budget anyway, so I'd say its pretty decent depending on what size you buy. Another great product from my all time favourite brand!
