A new aura with Aurora? [reviewing Far Away Aurora edp, by Avon]

Discover a land that’s undeniably beautiful by spritzing the oriental and gourmand perfume onto your pulse points.

Escape to somewhere awe-inspiring with the beauty of the oriental and gourmand fragrance of Far Away Aurora Eau de Parfum, from your No.1 fragrace brand. A stunning beauty inspired by the natural wonder of the Northern Lights with radiant pink peppercorn, breathtaking water lily and dreamy vanilla bourbon.

It's here!!

I've been looking forward to getting to check out the latest Far Away release ever since I heard that it was in the works (somewhere around the new year). Avon are known for cheap & cheerful fragrances, but I've come to have pretty high expectations when it comes to their Far Away line. I've taken a little while to really get to know Aurora before reviewing it, to make sure I'm giving it the same chance to shine, that the other flankers I've had.

The verdict is in...

The next Thank U Next... [reviewing Thank U Next 2.0 edp, by Ariana Grande]

 Unapologetic. Playful. Optimistic.  
Introducing Thank U, Next 2.0 by Ariana Grande



"A juicy new fragrance for the NEXT chapter in your life. 

Ariana Grande’s addicting new  fragrance, Thank U, Next 2.0, opens with mouth-watering fruit, which lures you in for a playful delight. The creamy floral in the heart introduces a flirty yet elevated touch, while the dry down leaves an unforgettable impression."


A little while ago, I had a Superdrug gift card and when I couldn't find anything else that I wanted/needed, I decided to give the latest Ariana Grande fragrance release a shot. I know, I know. Most of the releases under her name have underwhelmed me, but one never knows when another gem like Cloud or R E.M. will pop up.

Let's get ready to explore the layers of Thank U Next 2.0...

An escape into bliss? [reviewing Blissful Fantasy edt, by Britney Spears]

Inspired by Britney's eternally sunny mood. Paradise is not a singular place. It is a state of mind. Escape into your own bliss.


The Fantasy line from Britney Spears fragrances hit a bump for a while and produced a string of 'meh' releases, but after changing hands from Elizabeth Arden to Revlon several years ago the brand has been revived and they have been producing hit after hit into the Fantasy family over the past few years.

Therefore it's no surprise that as soon as Blissful Fantasy appeared on the Superdrug site at the end of February, I was all over it...

Does it shine like a diamond? [reviewing Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper | 25 edp, by Kayali]

"This scent is perfect for those who expect a little more from the unexpected"


I've honestly liked every Kayali fragrance so far, so this is an obvious brand for me to follow. Sweet Diamond uses rose, magnolia,  sandalwood, and vanilla, so I went in to this one with high expectations...
