Coming up roses? [Tease Flower edp by Victoria's Secret]...

"A spring fling for the ultimate flirt: a fresh, floral-infused twist on the original warm gourmand scent"
I fancied a new perfume for spring, and as soon as I saw the bottle for Tease Flower online, I knew that it would be mine - no matter the actual scent. I was so in love with the bottle that I went to eBay, bidded, and won a bottle...

I read an article in a paper that mentions that Sweet Like Candy is currently the third (or maybe it was the second?) best-selling celebrity-branded perfume in the UK, so a new flanker for it was inevitable, and here we are now...

I found the original Sweet Like Candy pleasant but unmemorable, so I was therefore keen to test the limited edition version to see if it had been improved on (I admit to wanting to like it as I love the bottle). After finding the limited edition variant in Boots [it's not on the website, but is in stores now] and multiple tests, my verdict is in...

YouTube vlog: Kat Von D shares her views on dupes and outright plagiarism [and gives us a sneak peek on upcoming releases]

Yesterday Kat Von D posted a Instagram pic showing Makeup Revolution's copy of her Shade & Light eyeshadow palette, and she was not pleased... 
Kat was called out in the comments for being unprofessional, though the post is on her personal account and not her brand one, so now she has uploaded a video on her Youtube channel in order to clarify her thoughts and opinions on the issue.
