Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Perfume

Hey Everyone,
Today I have my thoughts on the Wonderstruck perfume created by Taylor Swift (with Olivier Gillotin of Givaudan). 




I'd heard so much hype around this perfume and really wanted to try it. I believe it came out back in July for the UK, i received this for Christmas and have been in love ever since. I wouldn't say this has great lasting power like most Perfume's do but i love this scents. It's a fruity-floral, girly scent (it kinda reminds me of Britney Spears Fantasy!) The sent is described as....

Alluring the flawless beauty of freesia, apple blossom and raspberry spark a swirl of vibrancy and feminine allure.
Authentic the heart, a sweet surprise of blissful vanilla is embellished by airy, sun drenched honeysuckle and white hibiscus.
Engaging notes of golden amber and sandalwood are woven with a kiss of lush peach.
I can defiantly smell vanilla and to be honest vanilla is one of the only smells i can smell in a perfume and name it. I can't smell a perfume and say 'oh yes, this has scents of amber, pomegranate and cherry blossom!' and i don't know many people who can.
The bottle is amazing and so pretty, its purple holographic with a gold charms (Bird Cage, Dove and a spike ball? i don't even know what it is exactly!)
I can't wait till the new Taylor Swift Enchanted Perfume comes to the UK!


Have you tried or smelt this perfume? What do you think of it?

Wishlist #2

Hey everyone,
So i did one of these last month and i thought i would show you a few of the things on my Wishlist this month.




1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 
  
I've been wanting a new pair of Converse for ages, so I decided to include this in my wishlist, i decided that when/if i purchase them, i wanted to get black because i think they will go with most things and won't get as dirty as the white ones. I also want to try some more or the Real Techniques brushes as i have the Expert Face Brush and i love it so i really want to try more (instead of buying the Sigma Brush Set, which was in my last Wishlist). Benefit Highbeam and the Mac Lipstick (Brick-o-la) have been on my mental wishlist for ages, i think the Mac Lipstick is such a nice everyday colour. I think the jumper from Topshop would be perfect for spring!

What's on your wishlist? Also if you have tried any of these products, tell me what you think of them!

LUSH - Popcorn Lip Scrub

Hey everyone, how was your Monday?! Today i have a review on the Popcorn Lip Scrub from LUSH!
'Be a blockbuster success and have them queuing for the squeal. Coconut Oil, sugar and a buttery, caramel taste!'

So for Christmas i got a LUSH set from my Grandparents and one of the tings inside was the Popcorn Lip Scrub, normally this product is £5.25 (don't quote me on that!) which i think is a little over priced for a pot of  sugar and a few other ingredients. I do like this product i use it in the morning before i apply any other lip products and it does help my lips be more smooth, but i don't see much if a long term difference. I don't think i will repurchase it, but i will use this one up! I don't really like the taste, even though i love popcorn, but i've heard a lot about the bubblegum one.

Have you tried this product, what do you think of it?

Thanks for reading!
