My new favourite perfume.

I can't believe I got my hands on this perfume it smells gorgeous and was only £8.50 from Marks and Spencers! When I saw it I thought to myself wow that looks like Marc Jacobs 'Lola' -which is a perfume and brand that I love- so I decided to give it a quick smell. And my my I was blown away, it smells just like 'Lola' too! It's so similar it's crazy. I really wish I'd bought two bottles as I did get it from an outlet so I'm not sure how available it is. I suppose I should tell you the name of it and stop chatting away, its called 'Adored' which I quite like.
I love the packaging, and I'm sure if you've seen Lola you can see the similarities. It doesn't look quite as expensive as Lola but it's not...so you can really complain. I do like that the flower is fabric not plastic as it makes travelling with it much easier as you don't have the worry that it may break when transporting it. It has a lovely sweet smell, I'm not a big fan of floral scents but this has some strong fruity hints and anything sweet is gorgeous in my books!
Thought I'd show you the Lola bottle, as you can see that colour of the bottle and the flower on the top is very similar to 'Adored'. As the flower is plastic on this bottle you can see what I mean about it looking more expensive and also the gold 'stem' adds even more to the packaging. 'Lola' hits around £40-£50 for a 50ml bottle, whereas 'Adored' is an 100ml bottle for a fraction of the price!

If you can find this in your Marks and Spencers, then you should definitely pick this up! Hope you're all okay, and enjoyed this post. Speak soon,

Summer Scents.

I'm not someone to care about what scent I wear throughout the year but when it comes to Summer I do want a flowery or fruity sort-of smell. I will still wear all the perfumes I have but if I fancy feeling really Summery then I will crack out one of these Summer fragrances! I'm not the best at describing scents so I will try to find the description that actually comes with them -feel like this is cheating slightly, but my description will not help!-
Now whenever I tell people that this perfume is by Britney Spears, they turn their nose up at it and I feel the need to defend it endlessly. But honestly this is probably one of the nicest perfumes that I own,  it's called Midnight Fantasy and it reminds me a lot of Alien by Theirry Mulger but Summery-er  -see, awful attempt at explaining! Boots describes the fragrance as this: 'An intoxicating elixir of luscious fruits that invites you into a mysterious realm of temptation and intrigue.' Depending on what size bottle you get the prices same to range from about £15 to £25.
 I'm sure most of you will recognise this bottle as Flower By Kenzo, it's such a beautiful flowery scent.  It honestly smells gorgeous, whenever I wear it I get so many compliments on it, and a little goes a long way! Flower is a vibrant, fresh and sensual fragrance. The key ingredients are Bulgarian Rose, wild hawthorn and vanilla. This ranges from about £30 to £70 -which is slightly more expensive than Britney Spears!-
I only have a miniature bottle of this which is sad as I got it in a multi-pack of Theirry Mulger perfumes. I love Alien, but I'm not a fan of Angel but Womanity is more floral than Alien is. Womanity is described as a tangy velvety fragrance on a salty-fig wood base note. These seems to vary a lot in price, but it seems to be around £30 to £50.
Last up we have a tester, which is just so awful as I only have like 2 sprays left, so I'm savering it! I really want to get the full bottle, but Marc Jacobs perfumes are a bit pricey so I will have to wait to come into some money! The bottle for Dot is just adorable, I love it! It's described as 'incorporating red berries combined with pitaya fruit, known also as dragon fruit. The juicy and exciting opening is followed by a floral trio composed of honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom, while a base closes with a trail of coconut water, vanilla, driftwood and sensual musk.' -Slightly long-winded description there but oh well-. It ranges from about £40 to £65.

I love perfume, I almost feel naked without, comment below and let me know your favourite Summer scents. Speak soon, becciixx.
