My Perfume Collection



I only have a small perfume collection. My day to day scents are usually the cheaper 'celebrity' perfumes that are quick and easy going. Then I have two special perfumes which are much pricier and only come out for special occasions! I like to switch up my perfume every now and then as I end up not being able to smell them on me if I wear the same one too often. Once these run out I'll probably make new discoveries and only repurchase my absolute favourites.

Katy Perry Killer Queen: This is super sweet with berry and floral notes. I finished my beloved Taylor Swift 'Enchanted' Perfume and decided to finish this one up before purchasing something else. I wear this one most days as its nice and easy going and lasts a good amount of time considering the high street price tag. The bottle isn't my favourite, its quite gimmicky. but for a cheapish perfume I won't complain, This has notes of berries and praline.

Nina Ricci Nina: I love the bottle on this one. It's super cute and quite obviously smells like red apples; but has a fresh sweet scent to it. It's totally different to anything else I've smelt before. This one isn't too pricey either and has lasted me ages. The smell lasts a long time on the skin too, and I normally get complimented on this one.

Juicy Couture Malibu: This smells like a holiday in a bottle. I think this smells quite like coconut...however it isn't mentioned anywhere that its in there. However I do get the passion fruit, watermelon and jasmine notes. This is by far one of my favourites and am already half way through. This will be a definite repurchase. I want to try some more perfumes from Juicy Couture, they're packaging is to die for and some of their scents seem right up my street.

Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina: This was a birthday gift and pretty pricey. This is for special occasions as it's quite grown up scent for me, but still has that sweetness that draws me to a fragrance. The bottle is rose gold and chic which I love. This has notes of pink pepper, jasmine and panacotta. The panacotta gives it a milky sweet scent which lingers on the skin once its settled in. I love this one and will be incredibly upset to depart with my cash to repurchase this one!

Thierry Mugler Angel: I'd been eyeing this fragrance up for a while. I always sniffed it in duty free and in boots whilst having a wonder...but that price tag put me off! Low and behold during Christmas it came down to a reasonable price so I took the plunge. This is an incredibly oriental scent with notes of melon, jasmine, honey, tonka Bean, caramel and patchouli. This is completely different to anything else I own and has quite a spicy scent to it, It took me a while to love this scent but I've grown to love it, It's very grown up and isn't as sweet as my usual taste. This is another 'going out' perfume rather and an everyday one. Packaging is spot on though!

I have my eye on Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Stella by Stella McCartney and Jo Malone Sea Salt and Sage.





My Makeup Storage.


When I moved out last year with my boyfriend; the one thing I knew I wanted was a dressing table. Somewhere to do my hair and makeup in the morning, and somewhere bright and light.

When we went for our big Ikea shop; I spotted the 'Malm' Dresser in one of the displays and instantly fell in love with it. It was crisp and clean, and thankfully matched the bedroom furniture we'd picked out!

One the top is a glass top. This makes the dresser easy to clean, and also adds a nice element to the room. Then it has one large drawer the whole width of the dressing table. Inside I've seperated my makeup and haircare using drawer separators from Muji. I used to own the acrylic Muji drawers and use those as storage for my makeup, however the draw is to shallow to accommodate them, so I've had to find other uses for them for now!
On top of my dresser is a mirror from The Range which fits nicely with the room as all our furniture is white. I also have a mirrored plate with some pretty jars and my perfumes on. On the other side are all my hair appliances


Inside I have a box for:

  • Base products - primers, BB creams and foundations.
  • Lip products - lipsticks, lipbalms, tinted products and a lipscrub.
  • Cheek products - Blushers, Highlights and Bronzers (My favourite drawer)
  • Eye products - Eyeliners, eyeshadows and Masacras ( I need another thinner box to separate these more)
  • Brushes - Makeup brushes and eyelash curlers.
Then there's all my hair products and brushes and another little organiser for my hair grips and bobbles.

I also slot in some skincare and makeup pallets and face masks in the front where there is space.

This is my favourite corner of our flat. What's your favourite corner of your home?
