Perfume Haul

Hey

Hope you all had a good weekend, I hoped to have a done a lot of studying buuuuuut I only managed to do some on Sunday.  I had a good reason though (I think) my sisters school ball was on Saturday night and for some reason the pre ball was at our house, so I spent the day helping Mum get everything ready for the 30 odd teenagers and their parents who crammed into our house. It was fun though and was weird but nice seeing my sister all dressed up and in a dress, pretty much all she wears is shorts and vans.

 

On Saturday I took a break from helping and went with my aunts to this clearance sale out in Highbrook.  Most of the cosmetics were Elizabeth Arden but there were a variety of perfumes and I couldn't help myself and got some.

 

 

 

I'm not good at describing scents so I'll just trust what the "official" description says.  I also love the design of the bottles, especially the Juicy Couture one.  When I finish a bottle I put them on my bookshelf as decorations.

 

Left - Britney Spears, Curious

Notes of white flowers surrounded with vanilla and musk nuances, pear and magnolia, tuberose, jasmine and pink cyclamen, musk, vanilla and precious woods.

 

I think this was one of the first 'proper' perfumes I ever got and to this day it's still one of my favourites.  I love this scent, it's sweet but not sickly and is not too strong like the Fantasy fragrances.

 

Centre - Viva La Juicy, Juicy Couture

Topnote: Wild Berries, Mandarin

Midnote: Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Jasmine

Drydown: Amber, Caramel, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Praline

 

My Mum got this for her birthday and I really loved how it smelled.  There were two Viva La Juicy perfumes at the sale and while they both smelled amazing I went with this one.

 

Right - Britney Spears, Radiance

Notes of berries, tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, iris and musk.

 

This is one of the other Britney scents which I love. It's musky like Curious but is a little more heavier if that makes any sense at all.  The scent is a little more intense as well but too much that it puts me off.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post :D I got one other thing from the sale which will be on Wednesday's post. I've only used it once but so far it's amazing.

Current Scents

Hey

So literally the first thing I do every morning is put on some perfume.  It's something I've always done and when I don't I just don't feel like my appearance is complete.  I've gone through a couple of different perfumes during my time so I thought I'd share my current ones that use.

 

 

Curious - Britney Spears

This is the third bottle I've had of this particular fragrance which shows just how much I really like this scent.  I've had a couple of other Britney Spears perfumes but this one has to be my favourite.  I don't really like strong sharp scents, if that makes any sense, I like them kind of sweet and soft so it's not too overpowering.  This scent is just that it's sweet and it's a smell I've become accustomed to.  I'm almost out of this bottle, I'm not sure yet if I want to get it again or try something new.

 

Fame - Lady Gaga

When I heard Lady Gaga was bringing out a fragrance I was kind of excited, I am a fan of hers and was interested to see what kind of scent it would be.  I got it as a gift for Christmas, two years ago and it is still one of my favourite scents.  I love how quirky the bottle is and how the liquid is black.  As you can see it's running out which is sad as I can't find anywhere that sells them anymore *sigh*.

Golden Delicious Intense: Donna Karen New York
I got this perfume for my birthday last month and was a bit unsure  if I would like it or not.  At first I thought it was a bit strong and sharp but after a while I got used to it and I love it.  It's not as sweet as Curious and is a bit of a mature scent I guess.  It says it is accentuated with the scent of a juicy apple, hence the name, but I can't really smell it; but it is sharp and sweet like an apple.

I kind of overlap these perfumes, putting on any random one in the morning and evening so now I kind of smell like all three, which is interesting but nice.

Hope you all enjoyed this post. I would love to know what perfumes are your favourites. Hopefully it will help me out next time I get a new one ;)
