Got Something From My Wishlist!!

I finally went and did it. I got me some Lady Gaga Fame after months and months of wishing and hoping and and thinking and praying. I was roaming around Boots with no intention of buying anything, as one does (LIES!) ahem! I strolled over to the perfume section wondering if they had any beauts on sale.

I had been in Sam McCauley's a few months prior and noticed that the 100ml of Fame had been on sale. I had to resist temptation that day due to the fact I went completely bananas in Boots and Debenhams already that day, I had to rein in it somehow! 

And so to my delight I spotted Lady Gaga hiding down in the corner of display. I thought I would check out to see if my luck was in and Fame 100ml was on sale again. Indeed it was! Reduced from €74.95 to the affordable €49.96, a saving of €24.99. I snapped up the last bottle and gave myself a boost that only shopping knows how to give. I had to leave before I ended up at any of the make up counters; Benefit, Clinique, Lancome, so dangerous!

My perfume collection is slowly returning to a collection now. I finished so many of them around the one time, it's strange not having so many to choose from. I have 3 fantastic scents at the moment. I have already reviewed Marc Jacobs DOT if you fancy checking it out. I should get to review another during the week. It was a present from my brother, a wonderful surprise from him, all I wanted was Toblerone haha

Have you snapped up anything from your wishlist lately? Or have you spotted any bargains or sale items?

Review: Marc Jacobs DOT

I have never owned a Marc Jacobs perfume before. When I received this gift I think I might have squealed! I love the packaging and presentation of this. The bottle is out of this world cute and so fun to look at. I'm a fan of polka dots, as is Marc Jacobs :) The bottle is adorned by some ladybirds/butterflies and a pearl. The red, black and gold colours compliment each other beautifully.

Perfume Collection and A Short Guide

I love, love, love perfume!! In the last few months I have come to the end of a collection of bottles. From this collection there are some I love and I was devastated to see them empty. However there was one that took me a while to finish, so long that I think it might have gone off. Ooopsie!! One thing I noticed lately and never knew about before was the difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. I never paid any heed because I always thought they were different things saying the same thing to be honest. I was wrong! So today I'm gonna share with you a short (very short!) guide for anyone that is interested in knowing a bit more about perfumes and their concentrations. I will be talking only about Eau de Toilette (EDT) and Eau de Parfum (EDP) because I think these are the two people encounter most. Maybe I should mention cologne too. Would anyone like me to add that in?

Eau de Toilette (EDT)
The fragrance concentration is between 5-15% of aromatic compounds, with 10% being the typical concentration. This would be the concentration meant for during the day. These are more affordable than Eau de Parfums. Lasts approximately 2 hours.

Eau de Parfum (EDP)

My 2013 Beauty Wishlist

I felt that I should update my wishlist because I did end up getting my phone fixed. Yeh! It was my dad's Christmas present to me. I am delighted! Back to being an iPhone idiot :D and I also purchased They're Real! which I have been talking about for aaaages! I still have not got my hands on Lady Gaga's Fame however I feel 2013 is the year.

My 2013 Wishlist
with Viktor & Rolf, Lady Gaga, Urban Decay

I thought I should treat myself to a Chanel/YSL lipstick when I get a job as a reward to myself :) Flowerbomb is sometime I have craved for years and years. I couldn't decide between the Naked palettes so for now I would like the Smoked and Basics palettes to keep me happy!

1. Lady Gaga - Fame

2. A Chanel/YSL lipstick

3. Urban Decay - Naked Basics

4. Urban Decay - Smoked Palette

5. Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb

I made this wishlist on Beauty Sets, check it out it's nifty. Loads of different designs and you can add whatever products you want. I think it's cute!

Wishlist November 2012

A list of things I need and want.  And since Christmas is coming up what better time to do this!

#1. New Phone
I need a new phone. I know people say this but this is my phone. It doesn't even do half the things it's supposed to. It's more basic than a brick. Not lying! I used to have an iPhone but I'd rather not talk about that :'( It took a long while for me to get used to not being able to access FB, Twitter and google in an instant. Having to rely on other people to look things up for me is painful!
In dream land I would like either the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 5. I miss being an iPhone idiot!
