First impressions; Premiere Luxe edp by Avon...

"Decadent blackcurrant and luxurious white florals mingle with amber for a dramatic, long lasting finish"

If La Vie Est Belle and Nicole Richie's self named perfume had a baby, then that bundle of joy would be named Premiere Luxe... 

It isn't a very unique fragrance, but it is nicely structured, and has very good longevity for the low price. plus the bottle has a classic vintage feel to it.

New fragrance: Moschino Toy edt by Moschino...

Designer Jeremy Scott became the creative director of Moschino in 2013. Fun fashion collections that he has done for this house were inspired by fast food, pop culture , Sponge Bob cartoon and Barbie doll. In this style, the new fragrance from Moschino launched by Jeremy Scott is named Moschino Toy.

Moschino Toy comes in an unusual bottle that looks like a teddy bear who is wearing a T-shirt saying "THIS IS NOT A MOSCHINO TOY". The bottle is inside the teddy bear and diffuser is revealed when you take of the bear’s head.


The scent is unisex, light, floral and woody. It is composed of accords of fresh bergamot, powdery violet, aromatic tones of lavender and juniper, as well as precious woods. It is available as 50 ml Eau de Toilette.

The beat goes on - a closer look at the Alexa Heart set by Nails INC...

I've fallen behind with Nails INC as a brand; you can buy China Glaze polishes year-round two or three pounds cheaper than the bigger drugstore brands, and my local TK Maxx nearly always has bottles by OPI, Ciatè, and Orly in stock for £4 or £5, so I can get two or three polishes by them for the price of a single Nails INC polish. But then came the Boots Christmas catalogue to reignite my love of Nails INC by showing me a photo of the limited edition Alexa Hearts polish set.

I went to the Nails INC site for a closer look at the set, as my local Boots is small so doesn't stock Nails INC, and once there captions like "free shipping with this item" and "free gift with orders over £35" suckered me into opening my wallet within two minutes...

First Impressions: StormFlower edp by Cheryl [Tweedy, Cole, Fernandez-Versini]...

I wanted to try Storm Flower as Cheryl has mentioned in many interviews over the past several years her love of perfume, and how important her scent memory is to her. 

I assumed these things would mean that she would put a bit of effort into creating something adult and a bit more original then what is considered the norm in the world of 'celeb scents'...

New fragrance: Rocker Femme Fantasy edp by Britney Spears...

Rocker Femme Fantasy is the 8th* (it follows Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy, Hidden  Fantasy, Circus Fantasy, Island Fantasy, Fantasy: The Naughty Remix, and Fantasy: The Nice Remix) new fragrance in the Britney Spears/Elizabeth Arden  Fantasy series.

The fragrance is officially grouped as a oriental-gourmand fragrance, so it's perfect for this time of year. The perfume opens with sweet aromas of blackberry liqueur and coconut cream. Flowers of violet, gardenia and jasmine are in the heart of the perfume. Amber, musk, cashmere and vanilla provide a warm, cozy base.
