My top 6 favourite current perfumes..

Lately I've really been in to perfume a lot more that normally and I've picked up a few new ones and found a love for some old ones so i though i would share my top 6 I'm currently loving..

My first perfume is from VERSACE and is YELLOW DIAMOND..

This perfume I've had for about a year and just never got into it but recently gave it a spray and it reminded me why i bought it.. It gives a strong floral scent with some fruit in there too. For me this seems like quite a grown up scent and not something younger teenagers would be attracted too but i can't get enough of it and I'm defiantly going to be slipping this in my bag for nights out..
It retails for £29.99 for 30ml, or £41.99 for 50ml, I personally think its worth it and will defiantly will be repurchasing once its run out!







Up next is a perfume by VICTORIA SECRET and its called BREATHLESS

When i first saw this perfume i thought it would be great for a nice everyday scent that i can chuck in my bag and top up during the day!
Its quite a light floral scent and once again i would say quite grown up.. I would also wear it more a lot in winter since it has a sort of warmness about it.. when i goggled the scent it said "Captivating, intriguing and exciting blend of orange blossoms, neroli petals and tangerine buds." and i can defiantly agree its got a very nice fruit floral scent to it and again i will defiantly repurchase.
This retails online for £27.99 !







Up next is a perfume by BRITNEY SPEARS called CURIOUS


I have had this perfume for absolute years! I stopped using it and i literally only have a couple sprays left after canning it after the last month. I have to say Britney KILLS it with the perfumes! The main things i pick up when spraying this is obviously floral scents with some vanilla musk.. This is a very young scent and perfect for every day use! This would be great for everyday at school witch is when i bought it and mostly used it for..
This retails for £19.99 for 30ml and £36.50 for 50ml!






Another scent from BRITNEY SPEARS and that's FANTASY

This has to be my All time favorite scent!Unlike curious this is more of a night time darker seductive scent, the smell is honestly something else and so different to my other light fresh smells.
The main scents in this are Jasmine Petals, White Chocolate Orchid, also with Red Lychee, Golden Quince, Kiwi, & Musk, Orris Root, Sensual Woods.
The smells is said to be very seductive and i can defiantly see that and i would defiantly this if i was trying to impress someone on a night out.. Can't say enough good things about this scent!







Next is from TOMMY HILFIGER .. TOMMY GIRL

I used to love this perfume when i was a lot younger so i was looking online and came across it and thought i would repurchase! This has a very strong floral scent that has a great stay time and lasts a long time! Personally i think this would be a great everyday scent for work or school, although it has quite a young feel to it, i also feel like it would work for elder people two..
This retails online for £14.99 for 30ml or £44.50 for 100ml!










Up next is a perfume from JENIFER LOPEZ and its GLOW..

Again had this perfume for years and rediscovered it again recently and i personally use this just to quickly spray on before i go out, or shoving it in my bag just to top up during the day.
It has top notes of orange flower, grapefruit, and citrus, middle notes of rose, sandalwood, and amber and bottom notes of jasmine, vanilla, musk, and orris.
I would say this is more of a day scent but could be used for nighttime..
this retails for £23.95 for 100ml..








Last but not least is another from VERSACE and its called VANITAS..

I recently bought this scent and I've only used it a few times but i really really like it.. It's quite a grown up scent and I would use it for a night out if i wanted a strong scent..
The scent is floral and fresh with the scent of rose petals and lime, this is a very very feminine scent and i would recommend it for really girly girls.
This retails for £41.99 for 50ml!











These were my top 6 perfumes at the moment, thanks for reading..

The best high street (drug store) PINK lipsticks..

I seem to have an obsession with buying and trying to find the best pink lipstick out there, I have a collection of all different brands from the high street (drug store) that i have collected over the last 2 years .
I have most likely every shade of pink out there but when i see a new lipstick i just have to get it..
So I've picked out my top 7 lipsticks from all different brands to show and tell you a bit about and ones that i would highly recommended ..


My first lipstick that I'm going to talk about is From BARRY M and is in shade ; 52

This colour is what i would call the most shocking lipstick of my collection its bright neon pink and adds such a nice pop of colour if you want to do a more toned down eye make up and you want to make a statement on your lips.
I love to wear this lipstick when I've done just a simple wing eye liner, some fake eyelashes then this lipstick..
This is sold in Boots and super drug for £4.49 and you can also find it on Ebay/ Amazon ..





My next lipstick is also from BARRY M and is in the shade 62.

This shade is quite similar to my last shade except this colour is a bit more bubblegum pink and is lighter. Because this shade is also very vibrant i do mostly wear it with a toned down eye look because it is so bold, but like the last lipstick its such a nice pop of colour to any girly look.
The Barry M paints are quite a drying lipstick so i would suggest putting a couple layers of lip balm on before you add to lipstick to ensure it doesn't dry as easily..
This also retails for £4.49 in Super drug / Boots / Ebay / Amazon..




The next lipstick I'm going to talk about is from Rimmel London and is in the shade Indulgence 004..

I came across this lipstick when at a market stall, they had lots of lipsticks for £2 so i couldn't help picking up a few! This is from the Lasting finish collection from Rimmel London and is in the shade indulgence 004. This lipstick is amazing, not only is it a lovely shade of pink and amazing quality.. it also smells like sweets!
I would call this shade a dark pink but it also has a hint of coral in there two.
personally i think this would look amazing on all skin tones an i can't say enough good things about it and i would high recommended it..
I've looked online and they are sold in boots for £4.99



The next lipstick is From LAVAL and is in shade 262 ICED PINK..

I had just been paid so was late night browsing on amazon and of course was looking at lipsticks and i came across this colour and just thought it was such a lovely colour, I had never heard of the brand before LAVAL but that didn't stop me i love to try new products..
This colour is a lot calmer and more easy to wear than the other colours I've mentioned so far..
This goes on quite shear so if your wearing a bold smokey eye then this would be nice for just a little colour but if you add a few more layers it will build up into a darker colour..
I found this on Amazon for £2.82 and free delivery!

Up next is L'OREAL Intense in Crazy Fuchsia 370


I also found this lipstick on the same market stall and i bought it for £2!
I can't find how much it retails for but i imagine its over the £5 mark..
This colour is also darker pink and is quite similar to the Rimmel Lipstick, the packaging is lovely, the quality is amazing and the colour is beautiful!
i would definitely recommended this lipstick!






The next lipstick is Also from L'OREAL and is the Rouge Caresse Lipstick in Shade 7 Cheeky Magenta

I can't say enough good things about this lipstick!.. It was also another market find so was £2! but retails in boots for £7.99!
This is such a girly bubblegum pink Nicki Minaj type lipstick the packaging is one again lovely and looks expensive, and the product its self is so moisturizing it honestly feels like your putting on a lip balm when applying. The colour pay off is quite sheer but after a few coats its easily to build upon..





Up next is a lipstick from NYC and is in the shade 405 BLUE ROSE

So i was eying up the MAC girl about town lipstick for a while and i wanted to see if there was a dupe out there and i came across this!
Costing only £1.49 in super drug i really couldn't say no and had to give it ago and oh my gosh i LOVE it!
The pigment is amazing and all you need is one coat, the colour pay off is amazing and i think it stays quite well! the packaging isn't amazing but for the price it cost you really can't complain!
This is probably the darkest shade in my collection and i love it, it also has some blue undertones it in so that makes your teeth look whiter!
I would high recommend this.

And last but not least.. is Revlon in 008 CANDY PINK

This is my lightest shade in my collection and i love it!
It was also a market find so was only £2.. I couldn't find it online but I've found it on eBay for £4.29..
This is the ultimate barbie pink girly pink lipstick colour it is lovely! The packaging is lovely and has a Chanel look with the quilting effect.. and the colour pay off is lovely when first applied you get a quite sheer look but once again if you add to it you can make it more vibrant !




Thank you for reading and i would defiantly recommended going to your local market to find make up products you can find them a lot cheaper!
