Wow, it's only the middle of February and you are talking about spring, Laura!? Yes, yes I am, but here in the UK we like to think we have a season called spring but to be honest by the time it has arrived it is June and people are thinking about holidays on the beach! *dreams of having a fresh lemonade on a summers day, ahhh*
But wait, we are getting ahead of ourselves here!
So to get me in the spring mood (even though technically it's still winter) I am going to be chatting about my favourite fragrances from winter to spring - in over words, smells that suit any season!
1. For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive a Marc Jacobs perfum - it makes me very happy thinking about it! I'm grateful to own the Daisy Dream scent which I was drawn to everytime I walked into Boots for its gorgeous floral yet fresh scent and of course it's beautiful bottle. When you have used the product (which for me will be in a few years probably as I would only want to use it on special occasions) you can use it a pretty ornament which I think is a great selling point from Marc Jacobs. I own the 30ml bottle which I believe is £38.50 or you can invest in the 50ml which is £51.50 or treat yourself to the 100ml for a whooping £69.50. Pick your choice!
2. My second fragrance I also received for Christmas but is a little more on the budget side at only £6.50 for the full size bottle or you can by the travel size in a gift set a long side it's two body mist sisters for £9.50. I haven't even told you it's name yet and I know you are already excited! It's the Soap and Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray - I love S&G's names! Being a mist it is cheaper than the full on Eau de Toilette and great for on the go. I love popping this in my handbag as it is slim with 100ml worth of product inside. My only way of describing the smell is sweet yet floral but not overpowering so the after scent is quite fresh and minty, something I love in a fragrance. So next time you are looking for a mist that does the full job, go and pick this up from Boots!
3. My third choice is even more budget friendly and is also a body spray. I love body mists and sprays as they are so much easier to use and you can easily just pop it in your bag without worrying it will smash. This spray is from Natural Collection, a popular brand, exclusive to Boots. This scent is very sweet and fruity so out of the 4 I'm showing this is my least favourite but if you love the strong strawberry smell, you will love this. Other scents are also in the collection like; mango (my favourite!), and vanilla. Boots re-released them a few months ago with different packaging and supposedly healthier ingredients. These retail at £4.50 so great if your on a budget!
4. And finally I also received this for Christmas and I have been wanting a Hollister spray for months now but at my local shopping centre they don't have a Hollister so fortunately Santa brought be one! I love this scent the most out of all the sprays and this literally make me think of a beach on the west coast of the U.S. (even though I have never been there!) The one I own is Palisades Beach which is the light pink spray. There is also a dark pink, a light blue and dark blue and also a pale yellow but I can't think of the names off the top of my head! These retail at £11 or the usual offer is 3 for £24 which I think is pretty good so go and pick one of these up if you feel as if you want summer NOW!
Hope this blog post was helpful to you in some way! Also sorry about the crappy photos, I took them on my iPad and next time I will try out my camera, it just takes time to upload to my laptop! I also uploaded a new YouTube video which was a first impressions on the new Rollerlash from Benefit! You can check that out here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_tn8zJVJjo.
