I've been a massive perfume junkie the past few months and treated myself to the odd fragrance or 5. The most recent ones are as listed;
Narciso Rodriguez - For Her
Roberti Cavalli - Paradiso
Givenchy - Dahlia Divin
This beautiful Givenchy EDP has to be my favourite out of the three, and it's also the most impulsive purchase. I was looking around Boots for something to spend my Christmas vouchers on, I picked up the first random bottle I saw, smelt it, and absolutely LOVED IT! I bought it straight away, and definitely don't regret it! The 30ml which I have was £45 which is very expensive in my opinion, but still; worth it! 9/10
I also needed to repurchase some long time favorites, so I got myself a small Benefit gift set for around £24.99 that included;
A full size "Pore-fessional" primer
A mini "That Gal" primer
And a mini "It's Potent" eye cream.
I've been using these three Benefit products for well over two years now, and always seem to re-purchase. I've tried a fair amount of both high-end and highstreet primers, and in my opinion, nothing comes close to the Pore-fessional, it's amazing!
As you can see in the photo, I also grabbed myself Urban Decay's Perversion mascara, which is a recent favourite of mine! I received a small sample of the mascara back in September, and having recently finished the sample tube, I decided to purchase the medium sized mascara (£8). I tend to use this one first on my lashes for volume and intensity, followed by my trusty Volum' Express by Maybelline to lengthen.
Another beauty buy I got over the Christmas period is this "Fast Self Tanning Mouse" by St Moriz
St Moriz is the only self tan brand I've ever bought, I remeber buying the "spray on tan" by them around 5 years ago because my cousin recommended I get it. They were pretty bad back then,the typical biscuity smell was very strong and the tan was slighty.. Well, orange. But I stayed true to the brand and decided to move to using the mousse instead. This "Fast Tan" they have is new, and seeing as I only had the "Instant Tan" version, I decided to pick this one up too (after a recommendation from my flatmate- hi Ella!!) and my oh myyy! I love it! The smell is divine in comparison to the others, and it goes on and develops beautifully. You put it on with a mitt and wait from 1-3 hours (depending on how dark you want to go) before showering it off. I faked tanned myself 5 days ago and the tan is still slightly here, with no patchiness! 8/10
My student loan is due to come in January, so I'll be buying a few more beauty bits to show you soon!
