Hey guys!
I decided that I wanted to share my favourite products of 2013 with you, but I have had to separate it into a few blogsposts because I simply have far too many things to show you! So my first post is going to be on my favourite perfumes of 2013.
Chanel Coco Noir is the perfume I was actually gifted after passing my driving test, I wanted it for Christmas 2012 but we couldn't get hold of it anywhere, it was completely sold out, so my mum kindly bought it for me as soon as she saw it back in stock. I wear it as an evening perfume and to me it smells expensive, classy and gorgeous. I love the bottle, it's classy but edgy. Chanel describes this perfume as- "Black is like nothing else. It's radical, exceptional and fascinating. It's enigmatic elegance hold a promise of the unexpected. From this deep, rich black emerges a unique olfactory experience. A luminous oriental. A fascinating, incredibly seductive presence emerges, redefining all codes. Coco Noir. Through black… light revealed".
This perfume has top notes of grapefruit and Bergamot, a floral accord of Rose and Jasmine and Indonesian Patchouli and Sandalwood which add warmth. Although it's a stunning perfume it will set you back £75.00 for the 50ml and £106 for the 100ml for the eau de parfum. I would definitely spend the money on it again because I like it so much and you don't need a lot to last you all night.
Another of my favourites would be Vera Wang Rock Princess eau de toilette spray. This is completely different to the Chanel coco noir. It's a lot lighter, definitely wearable in the day. It's sweet and feminite but slightly seductive. The bottle is ok, nothing too special but it's nice. It's a black heart shape bottle with a grey/silver pattern across the front. With a crown shaped lid (which I've lost…) This perfume is a dark, fruity and floral version of Vera Wang's original princess perfume. "Rock Princess features opening notes of fruity white peach and raspberry that blend beautifully with a floral heart of jasmine, lily and rose. A base of cashmere, musk and coconut." This perfume is definitely less expensive than the Chanel coco noir only setting you back by £25.00 for the 100ml from Tesco. That's a bargain if I've ever seen one!
Bond girl 007 from Avon was definitely one of my 2013 favourites. It was released by Avon in 2008 to be associated with Quantum of Solace. It is a sexy scent, but light. "It features top notes of velvety white peach and orange blossom followed by mid- notes of jasmine, calypso orchid and freesia. The drydown consists of amber, cashmere wood and patchouli" I have no idea if you can still get it from avon themselves but I'm sure you could pick it up from Ebay for a super reasonable price. I like the packaging but not as much as the others, you can tell it doesn't cost as much as the other perfumes but it's nice for the price.
The last perfume I chose is Juicy couture's Viva la juicy. This is definitely different to my usual perfums. It's quite floral. I can only wear this somedays, I couldn't wear this everyday. It is strong and last nearly all day. Although to be honest I have the most compliments from men when I wear this perfume. The top notes are wild berries and mandarin, the heart notes are honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine. The base notes which add a bit of warmth are amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and praline. (fact- It's been proven that men are attracted to vanilla.) This perfume is reasonably priced as it would cost you £47.00 for 50ml from Debenhams. I must say aswell that this is definitely my favourite bottle, it's heavy so not appropriate to carry in your hand bag but it looks gorgeous!
I hope you enjoyed this post, I will upload my favourite make up bits soon! What were a few of your favourite products in 2013?
