Thierry Mugler - Alien

Hey Girls

So I really wanted to show you one of my all time favourite perfumes. I got this set from my boyfriend's Mum for Christmas and I was extremely excited. This is the 3rd bottle I've had and I NEVER get bored of it.

I really love the deep amethyst coloured bottle, and with the design being so unique, it really looks great on my dressing table.

The scent is so distinctive, there is no confusing this with any other. It has a strong floral smell, with deep Jasmine and Amber notes. It's not for those who like soft fragrances, this really packs a punch. You will either love it or hate it. This benefits me though as I only need one or two spritzes and the smell lingers all day long. I believe this is a Mugler trait as Angel is the same, very strong. However, Angel has always been too sweet for my liking.

Have any of you guys tried this? What do you think? Personally, I adore it!

Dear Santa...

Evening Ladies ♥

Having spent today in bed ill, I've had plenty chance to think about the items I shall be hoping to see in my Christmas stocking this year :)

Firstly I've had my eye on one of these watches since seeing it in Fleur De Force's birthday video.

Toy Watch in Black.

I think this is soo pretty. I like how it's cute but quite masculine. I like the bright colours as well but for me, black is going to be the best option.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.

This is my favourite perfume EVER and my boyfriend has gotten  me a bottle of this every year since we've been together so fingers crossed he doesn't break tradition this year. A 50ml bottle has lasted me all year because I only like to wear this on special occasions when I am going out with my boy. Definately not for everyday wear. PLUS...I love the tv advert for this with Kiera Knightley... ♥

Urban Decay Naked Palette.

I'm a bit late on this bandwagon right? I don't know why but I never got round to getting this when it came out, and now with all these Christmas presents I will be buying, I guess it will just have to go on my list.

Suede and Leather Mix Handbag - River Island.

I really need a new everyday black bag, and I like 'em big. I spotted this one on the RI website and it fits my criteria beautifully...

Honestly, I've been a very good girl this year so I'm hoping to be on Santa's "Nice" list :)

What are you guys hoping to find in your stockings this year?

My Summer Scent

HiHi

So this is just a quick post to tell you all about my favourite summer perfume at the moment.

I was running low on perfume and was looking for something light for summer. So I took a risk and ordered online. Heavily influenced by the celebrity endorsement and also by the pretty packaging, I opted for Sarah Jessica Parker NYC. I was slightly worried as I had no idea what it smelled like, but I can now say the risk paid off.

NYC smells really sweet and fruity, but not sickly and that is definately my kind of fragrance. The fragrance I can smell from this perfume the most is definately strawberry. It smells yummy. The main notes in the perfume are "wild red strawberries, italian mandarin and white osmathus" which make it a lovely fruity fragrance. It lasts a long time but is not overwhelming. I have recieved many compliments on this. I paid £32 for a 60ml bottle which I think is very reasonable.

I have not tried any of the other SJP fragrances but based on this, and the fact I love Carrie Bradshaw, I would be definately tempted to try some of her others. Do you have any recommendations? Or, have you tried this product and have any views on it, good or bad?
