Vera Wang Lovestruck - Floral Rush

                                                    


I love the Vera Wang Lovestruck fragrance. Earlier in the year I bought one  of these perfumes when Boots had them on special offer during May. Floral Rush has a light floral scent, which is not too far from the original fragrance but enough to make a distinction.  It is suitable for the Spring/Summer months where a lighter scent is suited for every day activities like going to work.  In true Vera Wang Fashion the bottle is gorgeous, not in any way handbag friendly but gorgeous all the same. 

It is a Eau de Parfum which means that due to the  higher concentrate of perfume,  the fragrance lingers on the body longer than it would have if it was an Eau de Toilette. 

Simply put I like this fragrance enough to suggest, you to give it a sniff. 
I am  giving my sister for her birthday.  (She specifically asked for perfume, plus the bottle is gorgeous.)

The Vera Wang Lovestruck - Floral Rush is currently on offer 30ml for the Price of £19.99 at Boots and John Lewis. If you or someone you know are interested, this is the time to snatch one up.


Happy Spritzing my lovelies.

Soap and Glory


Soap and Glory is a brand which has been around for a few years. The quirky packaging and catchy product names have made them a hit, not to mention they are not too badly priced. These are few of the Soap and Glory products in my life. 



The Righteous Butter Body Lotion, I also had the Righteous Butter Body butter in my collection but that has long finished. This is a light weight moisturizer which absorbs quickly into the skin leaving no greasy residue. Did I mention that it is famous for smelling exactly like Miss Dior Cherie EDP?


The easiest way to describe this is "a spray on body shimmer" this is a light spray oil which contains reflective particles. I usually apply this over the righteous body lotion( or any other moisturizer which I am wearing) on nights out.


I have mentioned this before , last year in my spring scents post. It is still alive and yes that is the same bottle. This is a body mist with a citrus fragrance, great for the late spring when the weather starts heating up properly. It is also good if  you are just tired of the cold weather and need a pick me up. 




Love and Light

The Summer Body Mist - FCUK,Ted Baker, Soap and Glory

Everytime I see Soap and Glory I am tempted to say Glorayyy, lol. 


     Summer is here, though you would not think that from the crazy weather we always have in England. However I have decided to rage against the machine, I refuse to be upset and not have fun just because the weather is poor. That being said I wanted some nice fragrances for the summer. I chose not to go with a perfume from one of the traditional fragrance houses because that would mean shelling out alot of dosh, and committing to wear that scent all summer. I for one when I spend a bit of money on an item I  use it to death. Instead I went rummaging through my stash and I found a Strawberry body mist from The Body Shop which I bought 3 years ago, the scent was so overpowering I have placed that aside to give to my little sister. I also found the Body Shop Green Apple body mist (I have the entire set) which my dad bought me a few years ago on a shopping trip on Oxford Street (the first and last time I ever saw my dads gold credit card I tell you), 1. that fragrance has sentimental value and 2. the way I like to spritz up that would not last a week. 
      Off to the shops I went, after much much perusing I picked 3 body mists, 1 from Soap and Glory and 2 from Ted Baker. 







    Soap and Glory "Mist You Madly." - spritz mist you madly on whenever you need a flash of fabulousness. I def agree with this somewhat, this scent is def the most summer appropriate out of the three mists, it is very light, fruity and refreshing with a hint of (what I think is grapefruit).

    Ted Baker "Butterfly" - for all you social butterflies you'll certainly stand out from the crowd with a quick spritz of this beautiful body spray scented with elegant bergamot, and red fruit, highlighted with tuberose and patchouli. To me this scent is more floral, it has a bit more body to it, its more grown up than the "Mist You Madly."
  
Ted Baker "Origami" - A vivacious body spray of rose , sandalwood, and juicy raspberry and a touch of vanilla might look good on paper, but you better believe it smells even better on your skin. this is the most heavy out of all three scents, I do like it, it dries down to a lovely finish. I did rotate it with the other two fragrances, but when I was going out in the evenings I wore this alot, since it so much heavier than the other two.

FCUK "Signature" - accessorize your body with a fruity oriental fragrance. FCUK signature a sparkling oriental fragrance simply exotic. This is another noteworthy fragrance, it has depth, but it is not an overpowering or cloying scent. 

I do recommend these if you are on a budget or you would like to try some inexpensive fragrance alternatives. they have lasted quite a while and I am a person who wear fragrance every day. 


stay sweet my lovelies

Review - The Body Shop White Musk Blush eau de toilette

     
   The White Musk line from The Body Shop is one of their most popular fragrances, one would even describe it as timeless or iconic. For the last few years The Body Shop has released a limited edition version of the White Musk fragrance during the summer months.This summer fragrance is usually a lighter, fresh version of the original fragrance.  First there was  "White Musk White hot Summer" (loved this fragrance thought it did remind me of the Escada Rockin' Rio) and then there was "White Musk Breeze" (the name still cracks me up. lol) 

      Summer 2011 they released White Musk Blush, this line came with 4 products. A shower gel, a body lotion, a body mist and the finale an eau de toilette.The smell is described by The Body Shop as a flowery fragrance. I found it especially light and fresh, not too heavy a hint of flowers as well as citrus, a true summer fragrance. Though the fragrance is light, with the accompanying products it is very easy to layer the fragrance. My procedure when layering fragrance is as follows; bathe with the shower gel, spray the body mist/perfume/eau de toilette, then apply the body lotion to lock the fragrance in. I received this as a gift, so I did not purchase it, however it usually retails for £9. 

The Body Shop White Musk Blush is available  online now on sale as well  in stores. I definitely recommend if you are a fan of light fresh fragrances.

Go Fresh by Dove green tea and cucumber body /splash, it is such a refreshing scent.
