Fragrance Review - Lola Marc Jacobs EDP

Today's post is a little review on Lola by Marc Jacobs. I had heard this talked about loads but hadn't thought it would be my cup of tea! However, I saw it half price at Boots and couldn't resist picking it up!!

I've found that I have been wearing this at least three times a week since I've bought it. I just can't get enough!

(And this is coming from a girl who isn't particularly enamored with any of MJ's other perfumes!)

Lola's bottle is a tad tacky, but I think it's meant to look like a bit of fun. I have the 50ml which retails for £46.50 and can be bought here: http://www.boots.com/en/Marc-Jacobs-Lola-Eau-de-Parfum-50ml_954602/

Top Notes: Pink Peppercorn, Pear, Ruby Red Grapefruit
Middle Notes: Rose, Fuschia, Peony, Geranium
Base Notes: Vanilla, Warm Tonka Bean, Creamy Musk.

This perfume has excellant sillage and longevity, I think for a normal every day application I use around 4 sprays.

This is very floral, but the vanilla stops it being over powering. I think the demographic is 18-30 year olds and think it fits perfectly into this age range.
It is nice and sweet, but with a lovely depth.

February 2014 Monthly Favourites!

Here is a list of my most loved products of February 2014. :-)

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (B20) Foundation

• Travel friendly (so light and easily portable), demi-matt finish, easily buildable, lasts all day, good colour match and blends like a dream. I have no complaints apart from the price and that the bottle is opaque so you can't tell how much is left. I lent this to my mum for a holiday and she loved it so much I had a bit of a fight on my hands to get it back! I think I'm going to treat her to her own bottle for mothers day.

NARS Kalahari Duo Eyeshadow

• Perfect colours. A bronze and a taupe that are appropriate for any outfit or look. They can be dressed up or down for a natural look. Creamy, buttery textures that are easy to blend. A tiny bit shimmery but with no fall out or chunky glitter. Perfect neutrals. 

Estee Lauder Double Wear Black Mascara

• This is a repurchase after trying a variety of other mascaras for a while and I don't know why I ever strayed. It's perfect for me; separates, lengthens and adds volume to my lashes. It doesn't smudge or flake at all during the day and comes off easily with hot water and cleanser in the evening. 

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo Lipstick

• Perfect sheer, red lipstick with a nice sheen. It's moisturizing and lasts a good few hours without topping up. It fades perfectly and leaves a pretty stain on the lips. 

Marc Jacobs Lola EDP  

• Nice, floral bouquet with a vanilla base. It smells warm and inviting and just plain YUM! Lasts all day and I get a lot of compliments when wearing this perfume.
