Avon Bubble Bath

Well hello there;

I don't know if I've mentioned this to you guys, but I'm actually an Avon Representative. I've been working for the company since August and I really enjoy it. How have I not reviewed anything Avon yet?! To be honest I don't buy a lot of their cosmetics, I usually spend all my money on their nail products (which aren't actually that amazing, but what can I say, I'm a nail addict). One thing I do adore from Avon, is their bubble bath. I purchase a bottle with literally every order, maybe this is another addiction? I don't know. I'm starting to realise I have an addictive personality... 

I couldn't find a picture with the most recent scents and my iPhone pictures are damn awful and not fit for blogging eyes, so here are some of the past ones. Strawberry Sorbet is a favourite of mine which I've just finished (they actually still stock this one). The two I have at the moment are Apple Blossom and Warm Fig & Vanilla. Both of these are stunning scents and what I love about these products is that the smell isn't over-powering. I used the Apple Blossom yesterday and it was just beautiful. The packaging is 'bumpy' as you can see and I usually use two of those bumps in one bath, if that makes any sense? So one bottle lasts around 5/6 baths, depending on how much you feel like using. I really do recommend these, especially if you have sensitive skin (there is a special 'sensitive' bottle) as they're not over-bearing, you leave the bath feeling SUPER smooth and I haven't been disappointed with a single bottle and they are constantly bringing out new scents which leave your skin smelling amazing.

They're priced at £5 a bottle but in every Avon brochure I've ever read, they're ALWAYS on offer for £1.99 - so I see no reason why you shouldn't treat yourselves.

Have you used these? What's your favourite scent?

#BEDN - Yankee Candle Tarts

I don't know about you, but I love blogs that talk about cheaper products AND tell you where to get them from. I recently became addicted to eBay, and found a shop called 'thisstuffonline' which sells pretty much EVERYTHING. They also sell a lot of Yankee Candle things, in soooo many scents. Now, my mum is a candle obsessive and has kindly passed that annoying trait on to me. I don't own many, as I don't have a house to put them in and it's already a struggle to get in my bedroom without planting candles all around it. But I decided to treat myself to some Yankee Tarts. And when I found them for 99p yes, you heard right, I had to get myself some. I decided if I didn't like the scents, I'd give them to my mum for Christmas. Win-win, right?

I'm a massive Vanilla fan, so thought I'd try Vanilla Lime, Vanilla Chai and Mandarin Cranberry. I'm not so keen on the Vanilla Chai so the mother will probably be getting that one, whether she likes it or not, but the other two smell a-mazing. I don't even want to open them, is that sad? I think this may be the start of a candle hoarding obsession.

The shop also sells sets and all the bigger Yankee candles, so after a few more of these cuties I'm going to treat myself to something bigger. Maybe I could save them all for when I get my own house in a year or so.. Or maybe I could just use them all up now.

I'd also just like to mention, being the idiot that I am, I accidentally paid for postage 3 times on these. I messaged the shop just letting them know they could put all the candles into one package, not expecting any refunds as it was my own fault, but the guy that messaged back was bloody lovely and refunded two lots of postage. I'll definitely be buying from them again!

fragrance friday; vera wang - princess night.

Hello there, pretties!

This is my first Fragrance Friday and oh, I have picked a beauty for you.

Vera Wang - Princess Night

This is the packaging, I no longer have mine as this is one of my oldies.

This is my beautiful, pretty much empty bottle.

This was a limited edition Vera Wang so I'm not sure whether it's still in the shops, my boyfriend brought me this for Valentines Day from Debenhams and it was pretty much gone after a month or so. But I kept the bottle because I think it's gorgeous! I'll be looking online soon to see whether I can find myself another bottle, I miss smelling this nice!

I've read that it is supposed to smell like flowers and woody tones. No. There is nothing wood-like about this. And I don't think it smells very flowery either. To me, it smells fruity and has a strong hint of vanilla. I'm a big lover of vanilla type smells, probably my favourite whiff! It's a very soft and sweet smell and the staying power is excellent, it lasts pretty much all day.

If sweet and sexy is your style then I'd opt for this, (if you can find it). I love the Vera Wang perfume range and this is my all time favourite.

I think it cost me (my boyfriend) around £30/£40 so not TOO expensive in the perfume world.

Have any of you tried this scent? Let me know!
