Make Up Confidential

This is my current perfume collection, not necessarily my favoutires but the ones I'm currently using. I think my all time favourite is Dior Hypnotic Poison, but I'm determined to finish at least one of these before purchasing a new one! So on to the collection...

Agent Provocateur Maitresse Purse Spray

Britney Spears Radiance

 Excerpt from their site - Luscious berries and dewy petals unfold to reveal a radiant heart of luminous pure white flowers, lit from within by the glow of precious amber, woods and sexy musk.


Gaudy bottle aside this is great summer fragrance, it's fruity but also with a hint of musk. To me it's very similar to Givenchy Very Irresistable (a perfume I used to wear a lot) but a lot cheaper. 

Gucci Guilty

Excerpt from their site - Gucci Guilty is a warm yet striking oriental floral with hedonism at its heart. The middle notes are an alluring concoction of heady lilac and geranium, laced with the succulent tactility of peach. The base is patchouli, the hallmark of a Gucci fragrance.


This would also be considered more of a night time or heavier perfume, again it's very feminine and grown up. This is my favourite perfume bottle, it's luxurious but also sturdy, you can throw it in your bag without worrying about the lid falling off or the bottle cracking.

Guerlain Insolence

  
Excerpt from their site - Guerlain Insolence is a surprising fruity, floral fragrance. With a glimmer of panache and a gleam of non-confirmist verve, its new interpretation of Violet is for the woman who feels no need to conform.


I've heard a few people describe this a 'granny' scent, but I love it. To me it just smells like violet, like the parma violet sweets in fact. There are some other notes I guess, but to me the primary smell is violet.

Michael Kors Very Hollywood

Excerpt from their site - Michael Kors Very Hollywood contains shimmering jewels of mandarin and iced bergamot. Scene-stealing gardenia follows suit with a decadent performance of award-worthy glamour.


I must admit I half bought this because of the bottle - it's so sparkly and pretty! I really don't know how to describe this scent, I would say it's more a summer scent. It just smells fresh and clean to me, nothing special.


So what are your favourite perfumes. From my current collection my favourites are the Gucci and Agent Provocateur. Do you have any of the ones I own, what are your thoughts on them?  


Thanks for reading.

I saw this tag on Naomi's blog and have seen a few videos on youtube and thought it was a great way to see which products you actually love/use everyday.


Basically you have to decide which 10 products you would keep if you had to give up the rest of your make up. So after a lot of deliberation here are my 10...

1. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil - I'm using this as a setting powder at the moment and I don't love it to be   honest; but when my usual Maybelline dream matte powder ran out I decided I should use this up first before  repurchasing. 


2. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - I just repurchased my second tube of this, it really is a great concealer for the price. 


3. Urban Decay Primer Potion - I only started using this a few months ago and it's amazing. My eyeshadow always used to end up creased by the end of the day but with this it stays perfect all day.


4. Models Prefer Eyebrow Pencil - I have very light eyebrows so really need to use a pencil everyday, this is a great shade for me. I never seem to be able to find a good match in an eyeshadow.


5. L'Oreal Super Liner - Everyone seems to talk about and it is definitely worth the hype.


6. No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation - This is my all time favourite foundation but has sadly been discontinued now and I still haven't found a replacement that's as good. I stocked up on a few when I found out they were stopping it and still have another full one left for now while I hunt for its replacement.


7. MaxFactor Flawless Perfection Blush in Mulberry - I love this shade it reminds of the colour Kate Middleton tends to wear.


8. Urban Decay Naked Palette - I've used the palette almost every day since buying it and I love it. Great for every day wear and special occasions.


9. Guerlain Kiss Kiss Straus Lipstick in Rose de la Reine - A fairly recent purchase this lipstick is a great texture and colour, I'll definitely be checking out more Guerlain products. 


10. - L'Oreal Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara - I like this mascara as it's the only one I've found that doesn't smudge on me, I prefer the effects of other mascaras but they always end up smudged. Does anyone know of any other good 'tubing' mascaras?


I tag all of my readers to do this, if you don't have a blog please let me know your 10 in the comments.


Thanks for reading. 

I saw this post on Kim's blog and thought I'd do it too, even though I dread to think how much it will amount to. It's a great idea to see how much you actually spend on makeup and to see how many products you actually use on a daily basis. So here goes...

1 - No7 lipstick in Nude Rebellion - £10
2 - Collection 2000 Big Fake Flase Lash Effect mascara -  £4.99
3 - L'oreal Superliner - £6.19
4 - Urban Decay Primer Potion - £12
5 - Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation - £9.99
6 - Bourjois Bronzing Powder - £6.99
7 - Benefit Georgia Blusher - £23.50
8 - Urban Decay Naked palette - £32
9 - Mac Cream Colour Base in Pearl - £13.50
10 - Avon Super Shock eyeliner - £3.50
11 - Lacura Concealer Pen - £3.50
12 - Models Prefer eyebrow pencil - One of my mum's friends gave this to me, I have no idea where it's from
13 - Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer - £4.19
14 - Maybelline Dream Matte powder - £7.19

Total - £137.54!!

It is quite shocking to actually see the figure! Although I do buy most things when they're on offer so I'd like to think it's a bit less (hopefully!), and some things were gifts. I do change products most days, so I dread to think the cost when I'm using a more expensive lipstick or mascara!

Thanks for reading, and check out Kim's post here. How much is your face worth? I'd love to see other peoples. Do you think this is excessive? Please leave your links in the comments so I can read them.
