Benefit Fragrance set - MUST HAVE FOR SPRING/SUMMER

 Hello my lovelies,

 

Today I wanted to show you these little cute fragrances I got for Christmas last year, I know that we are now in April but I've only just got around to actually using them properly so I thought that I would show you guys.

 I wish I had used them sooner because they smell gorgeous.

They are the benefit 'Crescent Row' fragrance set, the names of the fragrances are 'Lee Lee' 'Gina' 'Noelle' & 'Bella' and they all have very different and very lush scents.

 

 

They are all in cute little boxes, they all have their individual names on them which I think is a lovely gesture.

I always think that the packaging is cute, very girly and pink, very unique and true to the name and the style of each and every product, personally the pretty colours and the beauty of benefit is what attracted me to the benefit counter in the first place a couple of years ago, a very alluring counter, it's very hard to stay away from.  

 

Laugh with me Lee Lee -

 

 It's a very floral scent, it tells you on the very elegant bottle that there is a light blend of citrus, jasmine and lily blossom. It's a very light scent but it's very feminine great for those that don't like anything too heavy. I use it for everyday wear and it lasts all day without having to keep using it throughout.

 

Just to add...

These fragrances are the best because they're travel size meaning they fit great in my bag for when I'm out the house or for if I'm staying out for the night.

 

My place or yours Gina -

 

This scent is probably my favourite out of the gift set, although they all smell beautiful, I'm a person that goes for quite heavy scents that aren't too sweet. It has a woody alluring affair of pink pepper, wild raspberry and patchouli. I think that the title of the perfume and the colour of the bottle with the hot pink colours and the images on the packaging, give you an idea about the contents of the bottle.

 

Ring my Bella -

 

This is another fruity scent that's also quite floral, I think the pictures on the box and the bottle gives that away and it is true to the picture, in my opinion it's the prettiest bottle out of the four.

 

Why do I love it? It's fruity floral & sweetly seductive. Perfect for spring/summer.

 

 

Under my spell Noelle -

 

I haven't worn this one as much as the others as it's very rare I go out for a special occasion, but it's another one of the night life scents that I'd wear for a meal out in the evening. The scent is exotic, floral and woody, I think it represents a glamorous and mysterious lady Noelle.

 

 

 

 

 

The picture above doesn't do any justice or even show the true beauty of these wonderful scents.

 

Benefit you have once again stolen my heart.

 

You can also purchase these scents individually in a 30ml bottle, for around £30, I personally think that they're a bit pricy for what they are, I have the travel set and I think that there is a reasonable amount of the fragrance as you do not need to use too much. They're lasting me really well and theres no sign of me running out any time soon.

 

 There's also a bunch of other scents like these just with different names and they're all equally as beautiful, I honestly cannot fault the product, my only down point would be the price of these, but I think you might change your mind once you've had one whiff of this lovely elegantly beautiful collection.

 

 

 

 

 Definitely one to try, let me know what the other scents are like, I would love to hear from you.

 

That's all my lovelies

Mother's Day Surprise

Hello my lovelies! 

So I would just like to say to my wonderful mum (Hello mum) Happy Mother's Day. Today is a great way to think about all that mums do for us, it reminds us also that we should appreciate everything that they have done and still do. 

I'm a strong believer in 'it's better to give than to receive' & that it's not about the gifts, but that it's about love and happiness. But I wanted to get my mum something special this year as last year, I hate to admit it, but I did pretty poor. 

Every year I always panic & struggle to find my mum a gift that she really wants whether it's her birthday or Christmas, because I always get the 'You don't need to get me anything' talk, but secretly I know deep down she'd like a little something, luckily this year she dropped a few hints & personally I think this year I've done an exceptionally great job. Even if I do say so myself! 

When I went shopping, everybody seemed to have the same idea as me, everyone rushing around deciding what to get their mum for Mother's Day, i'd already planned what I wanted to purchase a few days before, I went a picked up the 30ml Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream fragrance, it's round about £40 for this bottle for those that may want to know, this is one of the items my mum had been dropping hints about this for several months now, she's a lover of all floral scents and so far just about every Marc Jacobs is floral scented, I'd have loved to of got her the limited edition Marc Jacobs sorbet, but they are so limited in numbers and I found it rather expensive, but I think they both smell equally gorgeous! 

Next after a lot of procrastinating, I ventured into pandora, my mum doesn't own alot of pandora so I thought it was maybe time to change that. Well I would imagine all girls will agree it's really difficult to remove your eyes from all the pretty things they have displayed in pandora. It's just so lovely!

Rings are my mums favourite type of jewellery so I went and purchased the 'Romance Ring' with the clear stones decorated around the silver band. 

Before I went shopping I even tried on all her other differnet rings to decide what size to get her, fortunately she has near enough the same size fingers as me so that was lucky!  

Now, ideally she'd have loved the purple stones as purple is her favourite colour but, they had none left in purple in a size 54 which was really sad, I even checked out another pandora store at the other side of the town but I decided that the clear is just as beautiful and it will pretty much go with anything. 

I own a range of pandora myself and I adore their products and how each season they bring out a new unique collection, I am really looking forward to the spring collection which I believe will be out before the end of March! 

The smile on mums face made me happy! But it's not about the gifts, it's just appreciating her and all that she does and realising that without her I don't know what I'd do! 

What did you get for your mum this Mother's Day? Do you think it's better to give than to receive? 

That's all for now my lovelies!
