Fragrance Friday – Jean Paul Gaultier MaDame

I Have decided to do a Fragrance Friday Post every week till I have worked my way through my fragrance collection.

So This week im starting the series off With my bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier MaDame. This is an old favorite of mine, its the second time I have bought this fragrance and it still stays a classic for me. The first time I bought it was years ago, I mean like 7 years ago it was sooo long ago. I used the bottle finished back then and moved onto other new favorites but the other day when shopping for a new perfume I spotted this one and its beautiful bottle and I just had to buy it again!!

This is a rather strong fragrance but I love that, the smell is very long lasting and when wearing it you will pick up on it nicely through out the day. To Me it smells like sweet liquorice and kinda floral ish sweet, Its totally yummy!!! The Notes its said to have are citrus, sweet, fruity and rose. I do smell most of those coming through, it is a lovely blend! I love the different notes the fragrance brings up through out the day. I get many complements when wearing this.

As all Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances, this is a top quality one and worth investing in, I have a nice big 100ml beautiful bottle and it lasts me a very long time. I find this to be a great summer fragrance cause its so uplifting and sweet/fruity. The bottle is also a master piece, its a square edged bottle very neat, The liquid itself is a yellowish white see though color and the bottle at the bottom has a neon orange glow that looks beautiful in the light.

I bought my bottle at Dischem for R799 100ml so thats actually a very good price for a large bottle of a top fragrance. You just have to keep your eye out for specials, I know Dischem and Clicks stores regularly have great fragrance specials. So that’s my fragrance choice for this week 🙂 Tune in next week Friday for the next Fragrance instalment!

5 Favorites Post

I have so many products that rotate as my favorite products but these 5 have stayed in the top 5 position for a while now so i think they are definitely worth mentioning to everyone!

ColourPop Eyeshadow: This ColourPop super shock eyeshadow in “Get Lucky” is my favorite eye color at the moment, It is an intense gold color and the color pigment is out of this word grand! The feeling and soft creamy texture of the product is also dreamy and it has fantastic lasting power. I always get the nicest complements when I wear this shade and I find the gold makes my blue eyes pop, Gosh I just love it so so much! We don’t get ColourPop in South Africa but I was lucky enough to buy this from someone. If you can get your hands on some or see it on a swap group then be sure to grab it up as fast as you can. I am considering bribing someone to ship me some 😉

Essence Lash Princess Mascara: I have used this one finished and that for me is an odd thing for a mascara cause normally mine dry up before I get around to finishing them. This was such a bargain buy at Dischem for R56 and it turned out to be the best mascara I have. I have been trying some top brands and this still kicked ass! It gives a deep black false lash look with thick long lashes!! I know, I know… every second mascara promises a “False lash effect” I Truly do feel that this one lived up to that promise! This will be the first mascara in a long time that i will repurchase 🙂 So Thanx Essence for making a fantastic product!

Lancome Nutrix royal Body Lotion: Winter is dry and cold and our skin tends to suffer from it, It is good to have a trusty side kick body lotion that you can trust and love to keep your skin looking its best and hydrated through winter months. My current favorite body lotion is this fantastic Lancome Nutix Royal. It feels good, smells good and does its job well so that is everything I need in a lotion. Great quality, a little goes a long way and nourishes skin perfectly to keep it glowing and even.

Kevin Murphy Plumping Rinse: Where on earth has this Conditioner been all my life?!!! I seriously have developed a very big Kevin Murphy addiction and its making me broke lol…. But hay it is oh soooooo very muchly worth it!!! Worth every last cent of it. I don’t always match my shampoo and conditioner, currently I am washing with the Kevin Murphy Hydrate me wash and using the Kevin Murphy Plumping Rinse. The Plumping rinse is truly a wonder product, It has become my holy grail of conditioners. the product is for people with thinning or fine hair, It is a densifying Conditioner that plumps up while strengthening and promoting hair growth. Well it does exactly that and that is not really what im using it for. I am using it cause of how it makes my hair feel, if gives my hair a smooth springy texture like no other conditioner has ever before!! It leaves my hair smooth and soft with incredible shine!! The kind of hair you just wanna sit and touch all day 🙂 So I will continue to spend all my money on KM! Go shop At www.thetestbox.co.za and check out all the products! Even if u buy the Little sample bottles in the May Test Box (its on sale at the mo) You will be hooked! Plus the sample size bottles are so Cute, ill be using them when I travel this weekend to the Blog Awards

Issey Miyake Pleats Please : I love buying a new fragrance, I collect them and have so many! A lot of the time I find that fragrances can smell so similar and I like to find one that really stands out from the rest! One that when people smell it and they know it then they know what it is that i am wearing! This Issey Miyake Pleats Please is very unique 🙂 To me it smells like pink sweets and is such a soft powdery, girly sweet smell. I absolutely adore it and the bottle has a awesome design! I bought a small bottle and i have probably been enjoying it too much because its basically half empty already.

Calling all perfume addicts!!

As I was sitting wondering if I’m the only one that is constantly wanting a new bottle of perfume!  I thought I can surely not be! Are you a perfume addict too?

I’m constantly on the look out for a new addition to my perfume collection!  And it’s gone a step further to perfection, I know it sounds mad but the scent of the perfume is not the only  deciding factor on if I’m gonna buy it or not! Iv found myself judging perfume on the bottle it comes in,not only do I want to smell nice but I also want my perfume shelf to look at beautiful as it can! Tall ones, short ones, odd shaped ones, ones with frosted bottles or colored liquid… As long as it’s pretty it’s already on my list regardless if iv smelt it yet or not!

Then there is me wanting to own one in every different scent category there is! Spicy,sweet,floral,musk,vanilla,fruity… List goes on. I need to have them all available in case the mood calls for it or if the weather is cold and calls for a warm scent. Am I the only one?

Iv paired my Fragrances with different moods and uses . If I wanna go for a jog i go for something with energy like dkny energizing women, if I’m feeling down its something light and floral and summery like coco chanel Mademoiselle. My night time romantic with my husband scent is Victoria secret Gold and my fun go for drinks with the girls scent is jean Paul Gaultier madame.

Scents are linked to memories!  Have u ever smelt something u haven’t smelt in a long time and instantly had a flash back memory?  I think it’s important for a girl to smell good all the time just in case there are memories to be made!!

Regardless of the price, if it’s on my list of wants I’ll make a plan to get it. Have u got a perfume wish list?

A girl can never ever have enough perfume!!!!!!!!
