Conditioner -Unlisted Brand - Palmolive Naturals Intensive Moisture Conditioner
LucieBrightside 2/20/2013 4:16:00 PM
I buy the green bottle of Palmolive conditioner for £1 at Poundland and it truly is on a par with the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle range! It makes my hair so silky and soft but doesn't weigh it down like most conditioners can do! I was trying to find this conditioner everywhere today and was so surprised to find it's only £1! It's definitely a bargain! Highly recommended for long hair.

Candles -Yankee Candles - Sparkling Lemon

This fragrance is perfect for the spring and summer. It smells exactly like lemon, obviously, with a hint of sharpness and zest. It's isn't a particularly sickly smell, which is definitely a good thing. I find it did make me sneeze after a while though and you can kind of taste it! It lingers in the house for hours after you snuff the candle out. Really good value for money, but still a tad overpriced.

Candles -Yankee Candles - Vanilla Cupcake

This has to be one of my favourite Yankee Candle fragrances! Just one whiff and your mouth waters. It really does smell delectable; a crumbly, soft, indulgent, sweet, cakey smell. Utterly delicious! My only problem is it's too expensive. I usually buy the samplers as they I find they last up to 40 hours burning time and give you enough aroma to fill two rooms.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Taylor - White Diamonds

I thought this smell was mediocre. When I tested it, my friend and the shop assistant thought it was beautiful and said it smelt like "being on holiday in the sun". I disagreed. Whilst it does smell rather luxurious and expensive, it's too bold and strong for my liking. It's the kind of fragrance that makes you sneeze! It also smells a bit too vintage - which may be perfect for your gran - but not so much a young lady in her prime. I was going to buy this for my mum but I may opt for Liz's 'Violet Eyes' instead, as I believe it smells sweeter.

Fragrances -Chloe - Chloe (EDP new)
LucieBrightside 10/16/2012 9:44:00 PM
My best friend wears this and it's really pretty and strong. I find it rubs off on other people's clothes and bedding (which isn't a bad thing I suppose!). There's a softness to it, almost like a clean-linen smell but it fills up a room when you spray it and has longevity. The bottle is gorgeous and feminine too. When searching for a perfume at Debenhams I tried almost every tester. This Chloe perfume was the best out of every other brand. The only down side is its price: there's no way I'm forking out over £45 for only 50ml! However, you're sure to receive many compliments with this fragrance! I know my friend does all the time.

Fragrances -Avon - Bond Girl 007
LucieBrightside 10/16/2012 9:35:00 PM
I was given this as a gift, as my surname is actually Bond, and I instantly fell in love. The bottle is great, an amazing shape! The fragrance is pretty and feminine and very strong. It lasts forever! I remember spritzing it twice and it lingered on my jacket for about a week! Unfortunately it wasn't so ideal when I had a cold or hayfever. It can be too overpowering, which is why I'm only rating this 4/5. I always received compliments with this perfume too, and had people asking me what it was or where I got it from. Just to add: the perfume I was given was actually a golden colour, as opposed to the advertised pink colour. I'm unsure if this makes a difference to its scent.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - Kim Kardashian

This perfume isn't awful, though it isn't the best in the world either. I tested this before I bought it and, if I'm honest, I would have opted for something else had I not been an avid fan of the Kardashian clan's TV series. It smells rather unusual: sexy and feminine and the packaging depicts the scent rather well with its black bottle and pink logo. There's a definite whiff of vanilla and sandlewood and I can even detect mandarin or orange too. I'd recommend it for nights out, as I've received many compliments whilst wearing it! It's one of those perfumes you can't compare to anything else, as it really is unique!

Fragrances -Yves Rocher - Fraicheur Vegetale de verveine
LucieBrightside 10/16/2012 9:26:00 PM
I'm so surprised to read negative/neutral feedback and comments on this fragrance. I've tried many perfumes since this, even some really expensive ones, and nothing has ever struck me like this incredibly reasonably-priced one! It's very citrusy with immediate lemon and lime notes; very summery and warm. Reminds me of a blissfully sunny day in Valencia! I was so upset when I found my bottle empty. I had to keep spraying throughout the day as it is only an Eau de Toilette, but it's one of those scents you can't get enough of! One of the most beautiful, scrumptious, delectable scents I've ever tried.
