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...

Fit for a queen? [reviewing Far Away Royale edp, by Avon]

 Embrace your beauty in all its magnificence with the floral, oriental and woody perfume of Far Away Royale Eau de Parfum

A spritz of the floral, oriental and woody fragrance will make you feel royal, majestic and beautiful all day and night...


I'm ready to visit the land of Far Away again, after spending a while getting familiar with the most recent release - Far Away Royale.

I was looking forward to the release of this edp, as the flankers of Far Away that have been released over the last few years have been great - even though one wasn't great, I still like it enough to feel comfortable to continue wearing it until the bottle is used up.

So let's find out where Far Away Royale falls on the scale...

In a land, far away... [reviewing Far Away Glamour edp, by Avon]

 Take a walk on the glam side with a perfume to make you feel fabulous

Draw attention with every glamourous journey with a spritz of the magnetic perfume on your pulse points...

Far Away is one of those well-known fragrances that sounds great on paper,  but my body chemistry doesn't play well with. I've always wanted to like it - the mum of my childhood BBF sold Avon & gave her a bottle and I wanted to be a perfume wearing grown-up too. However it has always been too strong of a fragrance for migraine-prone me.

However I do enjoy the Far Away flankers,  and they don't seem to be migraine triggers for me. After picking up some more of the currently available flankers during some offers a little while ago, I'm ready to dive back into the magic of the Far Away line...
