Retro Rainbow Make up

So on Saturday night I attended an 80's themed party. However when it came to my make up, I knew it would have to be bright! But all the colours I was thinking of (Purple, blue and green) clashed with my black and red outfit. So, if I was gonna clash, go big or go home. Bring on all the colours!!!

I paired it with a candy pink lipstick to make the whole face pop and not to take away from the eye shadow.

For those of you who will say that my outfit is not 80's because it does not have enough colour, this outfit is actually my Mum's from the 80's, when she would hit up the gym. You cant get more 80's then that!

Fragrance Friday: Taylor By Taylor Swift

This is the third perfume from Taylor I've bought and loved both of her previous perfumes. The newest addition to her collection however, is quite different from the others...

It's richer, creamier and more mature. The fruity notes of lychee, tangerine and apricot mix beautifully with a floral concoction of magnolia, hortensia, vanilla orchid and peony. Some woodiness and musk in the base give it some guts and overall, it's a delicious, addictive scent.

For me, this is my favourite of all three of Taylor's perfumes. The one thing I can't take to however, is the bottle. The design in theory is nice, but something about the multi-coloured ribbon pattern looks a bit cheap to me. Maybe it's the mix of the vintage looking cap (complete with fake pearls) paired with the milkshake-glass-like flacon, mixed with the 70's style disco print. It seems like the designers couldn't decide what direction they wanted to go in, so added a little bit of everything and for me it just doesn't work.  That being said, packaging shouldn't matter and I've still fallen totally in love with the scent.

As usual with Taylor's perfumes, the price point is really affordable too at $45 for 30ml, $60 for 50ml and $80 for 100ml. It is only sold as an EDP so the staying power is great. Overall a total winner for me. Well done Taylor!

Victorias Secret Angel Gold Fragrance Review

Take the stage. Steal the spotlight. Make every day runway-worthy with this eau de parfum, a sexy blend of sparkling bergamot, lush gardenia and musk. Spray on for scent that lingers. Earn your wings—Victoria’s Secret Angel Gold.

Well, I don’t know about sexy, but this sent definitely lingers!! The perfume is definitely long lasting compared to some of its competitors. This scent easily lingers for about 6-8 hours,

                                 

This scent is a really pretty, very fruity and florally. This is definitely a day time sent. I think it is quite a young scent and very easy to wear. If you liked past Victoria’s secrets scents you will love this one. With top notes of Prickly pear, kumquat, pomelo blossom, red berry sorbet, orange crème, sparkling bergamot. It dries down to notes of Musk, vanilla woods, gold amber crystals, sandalwood, cedarwood

Lindsay Ellingson is the perfect choice as the spokes women for this fruity florally perfume, as she is the perfect embodiment of the girl next door image which this scent represents. This perfume is perfectly suited to a teen to young women. The packaging has the classic angel wings on the back with a modern graphic on the front. It is a very nice addition to any girls perfume collection.

First look: 'Taylor' by Taylor Swift

The new perfume, Taylor by Taylor Swift, follows in the footsteps of her past scents Wonderstruck and Wonderstruck Enchanted, but focuses more on the singer’s personal style rather than a magical world where chandeliers dangle out of the sky.

“My first two fragrances were more about fairytales,” Taylor told StyleWatch. “But this fragrance is more about my own style, so I wanted the name to be more personal.”

The bottle design is simple and modern, reflecting the singer’s own quirky and retro style, crowned with a ring of pearls. "Pearls are the one the fashion accessories that never seems to go out of style,” she said. “I keep a strand in my purse, and throw them on whenever I need to dress up my outfit."

So what does Swifts new fragrance smell like? The singer calls the perfume “a mix of a lot of things: It’s sweet, it’s sophisticated, it draws you in. It’s really my way of translating classic, yet modern, into a perfume.”

The new scent blends top notes of lychee, sparkling tangerine and magnolia petals, and a base of sandalwood, apricot nectar, and a blend of woods. Does anyone else smell a romantic and whimsical spring picnic?

Taylor by Taylor Swift will hit Ulta and Ulta.com in late June.

Chanel's Coco Noir Fragrance Review

Coco Noir was launched in September 2012.

"For Coco Noir, I thought of Coco and of Coco Mademoiselle too, because it’s also part of the history. I wanted to continue exploring an entire esthetic range of CHANEL perfumery, a range that distinguishes itself from the Florals, one that is illustrated by Bois-des-Iles and Cuir de Russie. I took it up with Coco. It’s what I like to call the CHANEL Coromandel culture, what you see and feel in her apartment. The night vision of the ‘Orient that starts and ends in Venice’ imposed itself upon me and that is where I wanted to go.” perfumer Jacques Polge.
In 1984, there was Coco, that sumptuous blend of wood, resins, flowers, spices and fruit. A treasure trove of splendours and an endless source of discovery and sensual delight. Then, in 2001, came Coco Mademoiselle, a breath of air that lightens this cornucopia of fragrance, in which everything is simplified and accelerated in a radiant burst of fruit and flower. And today there is Coco Noir, a great nocturnal Baroque. Another journey in the wake of a Gabrielle who fully embraced the dazzle of black and Venice, incorporating them not only into her creations but into her life.

Top notes: grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot, Heart: rose, narcissus, rose geranium leaf and jasmine. Base: tonka bean, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and white musk frankincense.

This particular perfume was my wedding fragrance, it lasted all night and even into the next day! The staying power is incredible.

The bottle is just as classic as the brand is. Sleek and simple, the signature black colouring. This is deffinitly a classic perfume in the making. It is a musky scent, a perfect night time perfume. This fragrance is perfect for all ages.
