| Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume and mini 'Bomblicious' Shower Gel |
I've been wearing Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb since I was about 15 (I'll be 20 in July) and now people consider it to be 'my scent' which is nice. My dad says he likes it when I hug our puppy cause he smells lovely! I think this must be my 5th bottle of this perfume and it definitely won't be my last! I buy the 100ml bottle that's £90 but I never regret it because I love it. I've already bought a new bottle for once I've drained this one dry. I got a free gift when I bought it which included this mini shower gel, a body cleanser, a foaming body wash and a mini perfume all in a beautiful box which is now home to my hair bobbles, bows and ribbons. I'm well on the way to finishing all the mini samples and my showering won't be as special for it. Although, once I have worked my way through my mountain of shower gels I will definitively consider buying this in full size!
The essie base coat isn't empty but is extremely gloopy and thick and the brush doesn't reach the bottom of the pot anymore (hands up if you hate that *puts hand up*) but then, I didn't even love this when it was new if I'm honest. I have thin, bendy, peeling nails so I always buy the grow stronger varieties of base coats. This was always a bit thick for a base coat, although on it's own it looked lovely thanks to the pinkish tinge. I am a bright nail polish kind of a gal though so I rarely wore it on its own. It's £8.99 so not bad for a base coat but there are lot better ones out there. The fake tan has a teensy bit left. Probably enough for arms,feet and chest so I'm saving this for a special occasion when I plan on wearing trousers (namely my sisters 22nd on Saturday!). It has green undertones so gives a gorgeous olive colour. My skin seems to go crazy for fake tan, so even if I applied a a little too much but skin would soak it up and I'd be orange so I really have to careful (let's not even mention the spray tan I got for my prom, let's just say I put Katie Price to shame. Never again!). It does smell of fake tan but not biscuity at all, just strong - I quite like it truth be told. I would recommend applying at night because you will be green until you wash it off! It dries super quick though! It is crazy expensive at £27.99 for 200ml but this bottle lasted me all Summer and once applied will last 5-6 days (well it does on my weird skin that absorbs tan like crazy!), on my friend it lasted about 3-4 days so not bad staying power, it depends on how often you scrub I guess! I will buying a new bottle once the sun comes out (if ever!)

| Simple eye make up remover and Soap and Glory mini Flake Away scrub |
This simple eye make up remover is fab but went down too darn quick for my liking! It is a total bargain though! This 125ml was only £3.39! It does what it says on the bottle, removes eye make up quickly although the waterproof claim is a bit iffy! It take a long time and a lot of scrubbing to get my Clinique bottom lash mascara off (the key to a good eye make up remover is taking off that mascara!!) I might buy this again (although Bioderma is launching in the UK mid-April so hopefully it will answer all my make up remover prayers)! The mini Soap and Glory Flake Away body scrub is brilliant (as are all Soap and Glory products). It's only 50ml but as it is only £2.50 its perfect if you want to try before you commit to the full size It smells AMAZING. I bought this at the end of the month when funds were low and my skin was horrid. I'd already bought, finished and LOVED the full size Sugar Crush scrub (a baraginous £8 for 300ml) but chucked the empty tub out in a Feng Sui attack totally forgetting my blog plans. I definitely prefer Sugar Crush and will be buying again asap. I'm currently using Rub Rub Rub from Lush which I got for Christmas but once that's gone I'll be welcoming Sugar Crush back with open arms.
This last one is a strange one. I got the Naked 2 palette as soon at it came out having loved the Naked original. The one shade that became my everyday eyeshadow was the pinky champagney shimmery colour called Bootycall. I LOVE it!! I have barely any left but am saving it because (much to my dismay) it was exclusive to the palette! Together with the lovely woman at the Urban Decay counter we decided that this single eyeshadow in Sellout was the closest match. Since I bought it I have used it loads, it is a bit more warm than Bootycall but still cool toned which flatters my skin tone the most. It's also got better pigmentation that Bootycall, I think I've just convinced myself I actually like Sellout more!! The naked 2 palette costs £36 and a single Urban Decay eyeshadow costs £14. Each eyeshadow in the Naked 2 is 1.3g and a single eyeshadow is 1.5g so it's quite a big mark up!

So that's a mammoth blog post about all the thing I've used up recently. I've enjoyed going through and remembering past loves so will definitely do one of these again, once I've collected things up again...
