Bargain: Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Trio For Just £8.99 (RRP £30, Worth £67)!

I make no excuses about being a fan of Elemis products, and I certainly make no excuses about being partial to a bargain or 2, although I still make my bank balance weep as my theory is that if it costs half the price, you can buy twice as many... or something else completely with the money saved. Are you the same?

Anyway, I've just found this fabulous Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Trio offer online and thought I'd share it with you lovely people as it is a total bargain. It's a perfect Christmas present (if like me, you're trying to be organised) or even just a guilt free treat for yourself. The set contains:

"Elemis Pro-Collagen Radiantly Smooth Body Cream 50ml x 2
Designed with unique Micro-Lattice Technology to help restore cell cohesion and reduce skin crepiness, this anti-ageing body cream deeply hydrates and visibly smoothes and tones to give skin improved firmness and an illuminating youthful radiance.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Serum 50ml x 1
Containing Elemis’ new Micro-Lattice Technology developed specifically for the body, this instantly absorbed, concentrated gel-serum provides an instant feeling of skin firmness and lift - creating an invisible ‘body-stocking’ effect. The perfect solution for slackening skin on the buttocks, abdomen and arms."

This massive saving is a huge incentive for you to try out these products, or at least it was for me, haha. Anyway, if you fancy getting some then it's available from Time To Spa and then using code PCBODYTRIO at checkout.

The only downside is that you can only purchase one per person, I'd love it in the truckload, to be honest. ;-)

Take me to the booty!

Cher Lloyd Perfume!

Hello my lovelies, how are we all? I'm still struggling with very intermittent (almost non existent) internet here, hence my absences over the last few months with pages being unable to load 99% of the time, let alone upload photographs. I've missed being able to blog daily, but am hoping that this is about to change as we're getting a bit more effort from Virgin in their efforts to sort this mess out.

Anyway, I received an unexpected package today containing the new Cher Lloyd fragrance, imaginatively titled 'Cher Lloyd' and thought I could blog about it immediately, since it doesn't really require any internet stability to upload large numbers of DSLR images that I'd normally have for a product (so apologies for the bog standard images, but hopefully normal service will be resumed sooner rather than later).

Now, I'm not sure that this is a fragrance aimed at my demographic with its Barbie pink plastic diamond bottle, but actually, I don't hate it. It's not necessarily the kind of scent I would personally wear (at least not on a regular basis), but I think that for a celebrity fragrance, it isn't the worst I've ever smelt.

The notes in the fragrance are written on the box, but for the benefit of this review, I shall also list them here:

Top Notes

Golden Quince

Cassis

Exotic Kiwi

Middle Notes

Jasmine Petals

White Chocolate

Orchid

Orris Root

Base Notes

Creamy Musks

Vanilla Pod

Indian Sandalwood

The vanilla is very apparent on spraying, but on dry down my nose also picks up on the creamy musk and a slightly sweet, floral scent with just the slightest hint of fruit behind it. 

I've just read this last sentence ^ out to Mr Beauty Scoop and his reaction was 'what the fuck have you just said to me, you're talking a language I don't understand' - haha, men eh!!

It actually reminds me of the hugely popular Fantasy perfume, by Britney Spears (if my memory serves me correctly) with its sweet, musky scent.

I think this perfume will be quite a hit with teenage girls... and possibly some older ones also, if they have a penchant for sweetly scented fragrance. The price point seems to be very affordable too at £15 for 30ml and £20 for 50ml, which is especially great if you're at an age where you're relying on pocket money to buy you all those things you desire in life. :-)

All in all, I think Cher has achieved what she set out to with this perfume and would happily buy it as a gift for younger female family members.

Available here and here (slightly cheaper, but only 30ml available, correct at time of writing).

Muji 'Kardashian' Style 5 Drawer Unit Available Online Right Now!

I've just ordered 2 units to add to my collection, and I am super excited about receiving them... possibly a bit more excited than I should be, maybe.  ;-)

I thought I'd let you know as I know that some of you were very interested in these.  I also know there's limited stock of them available, so it might be worth ordering online if you're not sure when you might get in store to buy one.

Click me.

Hope this post works ok, it's the first time I've tried it on my phone. 

Wordless Wednesday!

Love the hair, and colour in this photograph that I just found on Facebook. Do you? <3

Wordless(ish) Wednesday!

Couldn't resist taking these pictures of Chloe whilst she was lay down and chilling out on her favourite throw (with one of her other favourite things, envelopes, which you can see in a couple of the shots) - she's too cute! <3

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Opium Vapeurs De Parfum!

I've never been able to wear YSL's Opium before, I've always found it a bit too heavy for my tastes - and although I know it is still popular with many people, even after all these years, I've always steered clear. I even felt this way with Belle d'Opium, which was released in 2010 - I really wanted to love it, especially as the packaging and marketing were totally up my street, I just didn't!

I thought this would always be the case with the Opium range, that was until I caught a whiff of Opium Vapeurs de Parfum a couple of months ago, and I've been wanting to post about it ever since (but due to internet issues, have been unable to do so, until now). It has to be said, I absolutely love it! It's a stunning fragrance, that gives a nod to it's big sister, Opium, whilst being SO much more wearable for the modern girl.

The bottle stays true to the most recent Opium design, with a frosted peachy hue replacing the brown - keeping the classic, sophisticated design, but bringing it more up to date to match the scent. 

On spraying the perfume, the first note I recognise is the pink pepper which gives it a slightly spicy scent, this is quickly followed by the citrussy notes (I can't really tell whether it's the mandarin or the orange blossom at this stage) and finally the amber, vanilla and incense on dry down.

The perfume reminds me of a slightly lighter, more feminine version of Spicebomb (although I personally wear Spicebomb too) - I think this is because of the shared pink pepper notes within the fragrances that my nose really picks up on.

Top Notes

Mandarin, Pink pepper

Middle Notes

Orange blossom, Jasmine

Base Notes

Incense, Amber, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Woods

Wear time is also fabulous on me, I could still smell this after 8 hours of wear, which is exceptional performance for an EDT.

This fragrance should make the Opium range a lot more accessible to younger people in my opinion, it's light, fresh and modern. It's also perfect for both summer and winter due to the mix of light citrus and spicy/warmer notes, I can see me getting a huge amount of wear from this - love it.
