I don’t normally have soo many scents on rotation, I normally just have 1 or 2 and use them to death but since it’s just after Christmas a lot of these were gifts or sale purchases. I really like fresh/musk/floral fragrances over deeper, gourmand orientals but I will sniff anything once!
Starting from the back -
Jennifer Lopez ‘Glow’ – from £13.00
This takes me straight back to high school every time I smell it. I picked this up in the Debenhams sale as it was a bargain at just £13 for 50ml. It’s very musky, with a fresh baby powder burst and it lasts on the skin for hours. I normally hate celebrity fragrances but I really like this.
Calvin Klein ‘Beauty’ – from £30
I purchased the giftset un-sniffed in the Boots sale and really regret it. I normally love all Calvin Klein fragrances but this just doesn’t do it for me. It’s very heavy and the cederwood basenote feels like it makes a beeline for my brain and gives me a headache. Another one that lasts and lasts on the skin, if you like that sort of thing.
Harajuku Lovers ‘Music’ – from £17.00
This to me smells just like Marc Jacobs ‘Daisy’! Fresh, …

I’ve never done a ‘monthly favourites’ post as I don’t feel liking a product for such a small amount of time could count it as a favourite, but these products have been getting alot of love from me and are my daily staples.
First up is the Purity Regenerating Overnight Moistusier – my skin is only used to light, mattifying moisturisers so when I fed it this is drunk it right up! It leaves my skin so soft and in the morning my complextion looks even and plump. I love the whole Purity range but this is definately my favourite.
Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions foundation – I’ve used this non-stop since I got it a few months ago, it provides amazing coverage, doesn’t break me out and lasts all day. I’m nearly out and it’s a tad too dark now it’s Winter so I think I’ll get the lighter shade next time. Highly recommended!
Famous Dave’s Tanning Mousse – the best fake tan ever! It sinks in with no residue, dries super quick, doesn’t smell AT ALL and leaves you with a gorgeous, natural sun kissed colour. What’s not to love? It puts St Tropez & Fake Bake to SHAME.
ELF Translucent Matifying …

Hi dudes, hope you’re all having a fab weekend! I rode my new bike for the first time today and OH MY… I didn’t realise just how unfit I am, damn. We only cycled a mile or so but I was puffed out, my legs were aching and my eyes were watering like a mother! Anyway, riding on the Alice In Wonderland theme I thought I’ld tell you about one of my favourite perfumes, Lolita Lempicka.
Just how whimsical and fairy-like is this bottle? Gorgeous!
It smells so unique, its one of those ‘people know what your wearing’ scents but surprisingly it’s not a very well known fragrance. When people ask me what I’m wearing and I tell them I get that ‘huh?’ kinda look, even though Lolita Lempicka was launched way back when in 1997. Im really surprised as it is such a pretty, easy to wear fragrance and has the novelty value similar to Vera Wang’s Princess (but IMO a hell of a lot nicer).
With notes consisting of ivy leaves, licorice flower, anise seed, amarena cherry, violets, iris, vanilla, praline, tonka bean, vetiver and musk, Lolita Lempicka creates an interesting warm & deep aura alluring you in …
