Fragrance Direct Haul

Hey lovelies,

So I was having a nose at Fragrance Direct and saw they sold some makeup items. I was already buying my boyfriend's sister some little bits for her prom and decided to pick myself some things too, because why not?

I had a look at the Calvin Klein makeup and saw the blushers and lipsticks for quite cheap. I know these may be old stock etc but if it isn't 'off' then why not? I picked up a blusher in 'pearlescent pink', the lipstick in 'mesmerize' and Essie nail varnish in 'All Tied Up'. I've worn these since and in my opinion there has been nothing wrong with them. I didn't realise until they arrived that I'd basically picked up the same shade in all of my items.

I picked up the same blusher, a Sally Hansen lip gloss and Essie nail polish in 'Pink About It'.

I was so happy to save this amount of money on makeup that I would never dream of buying full price on my student budget. I was pleased to see that Fragrance Direct stock newer items too, as well as lower priced perfumes, which I am yet to purchase!

Some people look down on these types of websites, but as long as the makeup is still within it's date, then there is nothing but fabulous savings in my opinion. I would definitely recommend buying from Fragrance Direct - this isn't in any way sponsered, nor do they even know of this post, but I received quick and cheap delivery and my items came in perfect condition.

What's not to love? If you've bought anything from Fragrance Direct, let me know!

Perfume: Currently Loving

Hey lovelies. I've been looking at buying new perfumes for a while and decided my next one has to be Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Until that day arrives (next student loan day), I thought I'd share my current favourites. They are quite common and I know a lot of people who particularly love them. Here they are!

Princess by Vera Wang (buy here)

CK Shock for her by Calvin Klein (buy here)

Hands down, Princess is my favourite perfume. I'm a big lover of sweet smells and this is amazing. I may also love it from my inner child-lover of princesses and sparkly things, and the design of this bottle definitely appeals to that. It may not be the most sophisticated styles but it is just so pretty! I've gone through 3 bottles of this and I'm at the very end of this one too, so I need to repurchase ASAP.

It's hard to put down in words what ck Shock smells like. It claims hints of blackberry and liquid chocolate but to me it isn't as sweet as that. It is still lovely though. The bottle looks a bit more sleek, but the only thing that annoys me is it comes with a screw cap, and the pump comes separate. It is in the same box, but I'd prefer to have a lid on top of the pump, as I've lost the tiny screw cap so putting this in my handbag is proving difficult as I don't want it to press against something and leak everywhere. Despite this flaw, it does smell pretty good.

I think Daisy by Marc Jacobs is definitely going to be my next scent, but if you have any recommendations feel free to let me know in the comments!

Happy Sunday guys
