Perfumes under $30...my top 10 picks!

Festive season is a great time to buy yourself or someone a new perfume. So many retailers are offering high-end perfumes at heavily discounted prices. I still think Chemist Warehouse has one of the widest ranges at cheapest prices. Plus they will only charge $2 for shipping untill 08/12! BTW I am not sponsored by them, just wanted to spread the word because the offers are too good :)

So here are my top picks

1. Versace Yellow Diamond (link)
Sparkly fruity-citrus scent that is quite light so perfect for summer or work


2. Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade (link)
Gorgeous light fresh green scent, probably my favourite out of the lot. It is subtle but has good lasting power.




3. Ralph by Ralph Lauren (link)
Very playful and fruity scent, reminds me of my teenage years. Will make a nice present for someone in their late teens - early 20's




4. DKNY Red Delicious (link)
This perfume smells like apples and red berries (it is similar to the original but a bit warmer and sweeter). It has good lasting power and silliage.




5. Elizabeth Arden Green Tea (link)
I always seem to have Green Tea in my collection. It smells like sweetened tea and lemons, very refreshing and perfect fro summer! It doesn't last very long but generous bottle makes up for it.


6. YSL Baby Doll (link)
This was one of the first perfumes I got myself (I was about 17 at a time).  It is very gentle but easily recognisable. It smells like roses and sweet berries to me.



7. Champ-Elysees by Guerlain (link)
I can't believe this gorgeous classic scent is selling for only $29.95! It is a strong floral scent so it may not appeal for under 20's but I would definitely get this one for my mum.


8. BVLGARI Rose Essentielle (link)
Beautiful and delicate rose scent. To me it smells very "French" and pretty. The rose in it is not overpowering plus they added some citrus to the mix to make it fresher.


9. Lovery by Sarah Jessica Parker (link)
Gorgeous, sexy and feminine scent (it reminds me of Narcisso Rodrigues for her, but a little bit sweeter). It has a good combination of musk, florals and spices in it.


 10. BVLGARI Mon Jasmin Noir (link)
Beautiful white floral scent with a hint of sweetness. I think it will appeal to a lot of people because it so well composed.

Buyers Beware - Fake OPI nail polish!

Image
Fake anything especially make-up makes me very angry! Yesterday I was browsing Ebay because I wanted to get some OPI nail polishes and came across few clearly fake ones. I got few OPIs from Ebay and never had an issue. Mine came from US sellers who charged US retail prices for their polishes. They sold lots and lots of them and seemed to specialize in nail products. Yesterday I came across few lots of "OPI" nail polishes. I saw fair dew lots from sellers who don't particularly specialize in nail products. They were "factory seconds" and were missing a label. The shades were very random and I never saw those shades in OPI collections. However I know that some counterfeit OPIs will have a lable with colour name on it. I was fortunate enough and never got a fake OPI nail polish . So I will show you what a REAL one looks like. 1. The front of the bottle Note the writing. There are some variations between old and new editions of OPI but the writing at t...

I had my Tragus pierced today!

Image
It is something I wanted to do for few week now. I always liked the look of multiple earrings and even pierced a second hole in my ear when I was 11 (which then I took out and it eventually healed). Tragus piercing to me looked very appealing but painful. However after speaking to few people who had it done I realised it doesn't seem to be as bad. Today I summoned my courage and called Cosmetics Plus at Carindale. They told me to come in as Fridays are usually not very busy. I've applied plenty of EMLA numbing cream on the area 30 min before (however I was told it is best to apply it 45 to 60 min prior). The whole process took 10 minutes and set me back $35 including the earring.     The girl who did my piercing was very nice and friendly. She first marked the spot with a marker pen and asked if I was happy with the placement, I've decided that I wanted it a bit lower hence why you can see a bit of ink residue above the piercing. Then she disinfected the area and a...

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Image
Barbie turned 53 today! She changed a lot in 53 years and I must say she got better with age In 1959 she looked like this: Beautiful, pale and stylish In 1960's Barbie was quite conservative and traditional as a Nurse and French Fashionista In 1970's iconic Malibu Barbie emerged. In my opinion she started the whole "Barbie" trend - tanned skin, blonde hair and long legs. She also came with a BF Ken and camper van Barbie industry was going strong in 80's. She appeared in vast range of outfist and collections From sweet Peaches n Cream To Over-The-Top Rocker Barbie and Holiday Barbies I grew up in 90's. I remember my best friend's sister brought this one home from Italy in 1991 It was in the former Soviet State and Barbies were very rare and highly prized so to me it was the most beautiful thing ever. Totally Hair Barbie and Teresa were very popular This add used to mesmerise me, it was played during Disney series as well as Hollyw...
