I thought I would post a bit about what I have been thoroughly enjoying using throughout January 2013.
The first product I want to rave about today, is the Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Eau De Parfum. This perfume is currently retailing at around £54 for the 50ml. I was lucky enough to pick it up in a promotion from Boots in a gift set in the Christmas sales.
When I smell this perfume, I can smell notes of raspberry, tangerines, jasmine whilst having prominent smells of vanilla, marshmallows and sandalwood. I feel this perfume is perfect for women just starting to look towards more sophisticated perfumes whilst wanting to retain the fruity smell. I have had loads of compliments whilst wearing this perfume, and the only way I can really describe it is pretty and feminine. It reminds me of spring time when the flowers start to come out, and the days are longer. However, I do feel this perfume may be a little heavy for the summer months.
The perfume liquid is a light pink, and I think the packaging feels really luxurious.
The next product I have been loving is the Ted Baker Body Souffle which retails for £6.50. This is a quite a thick, nourishing moisturiser (but a little lighter than a body butter) and I just love the scent! Although this scent is a little strong for during the day, it is so lovely to put on after a bath before bed time. The scent is rose and sandelwood, with raspberry and vanilla. I find it easy to spread and it doesn't leave the skin tacky like other thicker moisturisers can. Thoroughly recommend, and has been helping my dry skin over these cold winter months.
Next I have my hair care products. These are actually a repurchased product as I loved the old ones so much! They are the Lee Stafford - My Big Fat Healthy Hair conditioner and shampoo.
The first thing to say about these products is I absolutely LOVE the packaging. They come in clear tubes, which is so handy to find out how much you have left! The shampoo is clear while the conditioner is a cream colour.
The shampoo is quite a thick gel, but a little goes a long way. It gives a lovely lather and leaves the scalp in a great condition.
The conditioner is very light and smooth on the hair, and doesn't weigh my hair down at all. I find it compliments the shampoo perfectly.
I also think the scent of both of these products is gorgeous. These products are often on a 3 for 2 deal which is always a bonus!
Please let me know if you have tried any of these, or if you can recommend any similar products to me :) I am always on the look out for new things to try!
Much Love
