THIERRY MUGLER, ALIEN FRAGRANCE ♥

I'm back, back again. Guess who's back-back with another fragrance review. I've recently been in my own little world of fragrances recently, absolutely loving them and can't walk out the house without them.

I'm going to review the gorgeous, sensual fragrance, Alien by Thierry Mugler, it's literally out of this world. It's been released for a while since 2005 I believe but it's a fragrance that will always be loved by me. It's a scent that is recognisable and stands out from other fragrances. Loud, sweet and beautiful. That's how I would describe this fragrance.



If you like unusual scents, you will most likely fall in love with this one. The notes are Sambac Jasmine, Cashmeran Wood and Amber Gris, I've never smelt these notes individually but has a combo', they are fab. A spritz of this on my way out with the girls completes everything. You can't spritz too much, no matter how much I spray on myself, it's never overpowering or too much (some of you might sit there and think "NO girl, don't spray that much"). Once it's on, it settles down to quite a vanilla-wood which smells perfect and quite "glowing", as always.



Alien will be right beside me as I grow old and wise(ish). I'm currently on my 3rd bottle and I should have reviewed this sooner or popped it on my previous blog but for some reason, I didn't manage to do the review. It's out now, it's here and I hope you love Alien as much as I do. Let me know, if you have bought as many bottles of this fragrance as me or your thoughts on this.

PACO RABANNE, OLYMPEA FRAGRANCE ♥

Always wanted to wake up feeling like a Greek goddess, well girls, now you can. Paco Rabanne has definitely stepped their game up over the past few years and I'm so happy to stand by this fragrance and tell you all how much I love it. Olympéa is inspired by the modern Greek goddess, not only did the scent lure me in, but the bottle itself is beautiful, the glass is shaped like the Laurel wreath from the Greek Mythology with a rose gold, metallic tint.



It features the notes of salty vanilla, green mandarin, cashmere wood, ginger lily, hydroponic jasmine sandalwood, and ambergris. It's quite a versatile fragrance, it's exotic and sexy enough to wear at the night but with one less spritz, it's perfect for during the day. It's strong enough to make a statement and to turn someone's head when you walk past them, but not over-bearing. Paco Rabanne has definitely done well on this fragrance. It's a perfume, I make sure that I wear daily.

NARS COSMETICS LAGUNA LIQUID BRONZER ♥

Finding the perfect liquid bronzer can be a mission and hard work finding. However, when pay day finally arrived, I decided to treat myself to some makeup, errr why not? I needed to stock so I grabbed my little bits and bobs that were vital to purchase and I come across a little promo stand with this product, I might be a little late noticing this product but oh well. I thought well, I do love NARS, why not? I did a little swatch and instantly fell in love. "Can you also add this to the checkout please?".. When I put my debit card in, I heard it cry. Moving on...

NARS Cosmetics, Laguna Liquid Bronzer. It's just delicious. I know, we are probably still in Winter but I feel like we can start bronzing ourselves now, new year, new tan right? It's allowed. Everything about Nars packaging is eye catching and simple, it's gorgeous. The size of this liquid bronzer is quite big, it's literally the size of a foundation. You get an excessive amount of liquid bronzer, which is fab. Money worth, check.



The formula is beautiful, I will stand up, cross my heart that this liquid bronzer is by far the best, I've tried. It's sheer but buildable, ultra-lightweight. It's quite a versatile, it definitely has the golden tones, perfect for contouring, bronzing, adding little drops to your foundation to give you a lil' bronzing boost. This product makes sure you walk out looking glowing all over like you have come home from a two week, cocktail filled holiday in Jamaica.

I use it differently to what is recommended. I pump this onto the Real Technique Expert Face Brush and dab this onto my cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. You name it, it's bronzed preferably where the sun hits naturally. It is super easy to blend, doesn't go patchy and dries fairly quickly. You can build up the intensity, which is great, I like to know I have control of my makeup and you won't get that "Oh, girl you have too much bronzer on" look. You can use your fingers if you like.



Everything about this bronzer is heavenly, very natural which I love because I can wear this daily. You can also use this at night as the bronzer as a little shimmer to it but not too in your face, which I prefer. I've seen other liquid bronzers but this definitely stands out and is different to the rest. You probably already know that I'm giving this bronzer a 10/10.

Have you tried this bronzer, did you love it as much as me? If not, would you try it? ♥

GARNIER SKINCARE REGIME ♥

My skin needs a good looking after & needs TLC every day. I'm dry on some days, sensitive & irritated another and then I might be lucky to have a normal day. However I have found my TLC skincare regime, that is quick, easy and moisturising. I've noticed I always go back to Garnier when my skin is really struggling and needs the gentle things. I'm going to tell you exactly what I do with what product & when I use it in what order! Sounds good right!

If I wear quite a lot of makeup then I try and get as much off as possible with the "Garnier Micellar Extra Gentle Cleansing Wipes" because they are so gentle and kind to my skin, I don't mind using makeup wipes to remove it. The wipes are soft & thick and soaked with the Micellar water, there is no need to rub agressively to remove makeup which is a good thing for my unpredictable skin. It is also good for lifting dirt and impurities. These are a very good alternative if your too lazy to mess about with cotton pads and Micellar water.

"Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water" is heaven to my skin! I use this to remove any existing bits of makeup that I've missed using the wipes, general cleanse before and after my day or if I have tiny bit of makeup on during the day. It leaves my skin perfectly cleansed, refreshed and glowing, don't think I could ask for anything else. It really soothes my skin & that's why I enjoy using it so much. I always purchase the small bottle because I am usually on the go and it is easier for me to carry. Using this I soak the cotton pads, start with my eyes and gentle slide the cotton pads through my lashes, & then soak another cotton pad to cleanse my whole face, perfecto.



"Garnier Simply Essentials Soothing Vitamin-Enriched Toner", a bit of a mouthful haha! I stayed away from toners for quite a while but thought I would try this one because "Vitamin-Enriched" sold me ha! I use this twice a day preferably in the mornings before I apply my moisturiser & makeup & at night to really clean out my pores and any lingering dirt. I noticed after a couple of days that my annoying dry patches disappeared & leaves my skin soft and supple!

Last but definitely not least because this part really is a "must-do" in my skincare regime is "Garnier Moisture+ Nourish", even the product name sounds moisturising. As I was saying before my skin is fairly dry and sometimes can be super dry that it feels tight so I really need a moisturiser that will save the day, which was infact this one! I only have to apply a tiny amount to cover all my face and I notice my skin feels much more hydrated and nourished. This moisturiser is a God's send because my skin feels soft, plump and nourished ALL day!



Thanks Garnier! ♥

CHARLOTTE TILBURY BAR OF GOLD + MAGIC FOUNDATION ♥

Charlotte Tilbury *love heart eyes emoji here* esecially when it comes to their products! It is actually my makeup dream to end up with a Charlotte Tilbury only makeup bag. You might know that I have a thing for highlighters & I do collect them haha & always on the hunt for a good day to night foundation. Charlotte Tilbury kindly sent me their "Magic Foundation" (£29.50) & their limited stock "Bar of Gold" (£32.00).



Firstly I want to talk about "Bar of Gold", what girl would not want to carry & say that they have a bar of gold in their handbag. There is always an excuse to wear highlighter, going out? wear highlighter, going shopping?wear highlighter, going work?wear highlighter, going sleep?wear highlighter haha. Don't sleep in makeup girls!

Charlotte Tilbury + Highlighter you know it's going to be amazing & it is. It is a small product within a small box however I can tell its going to be one of them products that will last you a very long time. I can tell because it is impressive & pigmented enough that you only need a small amount to make your highlighted areas pop! The highlighter is pretty, gold toned with a good amount of glitter. Like I said before it is very pigmented and a little goes a long way. I noticed using this on a natural makeup look & a going out look really made a difference. True love for this highlighter.



Up next the definition of magic in a glass bottle! "Magic Foundation" it describes exactly what it is on the bottle. I have had this foundation on my wish list for a good while & now I can say THANK YOU to Charlotte Tilbury for sending me such a perfect delivery. It is everything I expected it to be - Magical. The packaging for this is luxe, pretty to have anywhere on my dressing table. It is natural looking FULL coverage foundation which you wouldn't thing would be a possible combo. If you love full coverage but doesn't look like your wearing alot of makeup or layers then this is for you! It is long lasting, I even did a test of sleeping in it(which don't do ladies)to really put it to the test & woo it barely budged! A little of this product again, goes a long way abit like the Bar of Gold. The perfect combo with this foundation is her Wonderglow primer which you can read about here - WONDERGLOW review.



I apply this foundation with a buffing brush to give it glow & an even skin tone. I like applying a small amount then gradually building up with thin layers. The pigmentation and shade is perfect for my skin tone and it doesn't dry out my skin at all infact over the days I have worn this foundation it as actually helped my skin look better and feel better when wearing makeup.

Have you worn any of CT products or have any thing you would like to try? ♥
