*Giggles at the title :')*
Well, Well, Well.. fancy seeing you here on this fine day.. well actually it's raining outside here in the UK :(
By the title you can probably guess that this post is to do with something you can smell. Yup! you guessed it.... it's perfume :)
When I was a little girl, I never understood how precious perfumes were, I was the one that used to spray 2 on my neck, 1 on each wrist and then rub it up my arm. 1 on each leg... (don't ask -.-) 1 on my hair/top of head and then to finish it all off I'd spray some in front of me and walk through it :) ... now I actually buy my own perfumes I realise how expensive some of them are and how caring you need to be when it comes to spraying them.
*please note these are NOT in order of preference*
1. Love ETC. - The Body Shop
When I was about 12/13 I went to a Body Shop 'party'. You know where The Body Shop people go to someone's house and they have a little gathering and all the women sit in the lounge round all the products, spending money, sipping tea and having a digestive; & all the men are in the kitchen chattering away amongst themselves... yehh one of them. My Mum, Nan & I went to one of these gatherings for The Body Shop. Looking back now I feel like their prices were way too much... we never used to buy much from these. Anyway, this one time my mum hadn't brought anything and she said to me, you pick one thing you want and I'll pick one thing I want. So I picked this perfume, back then I didn't understand what a body butter was? I thought butter was what you put on bread.. not your body. Exfoliation... What? thought my 12-year-old self. I could've brought some shower gel or shampoo but I was 12... I was going to pick the perfume... and I never used it :/ typical of me ... because I finally had my own perfume which was mine I didn't want to use it ... buying something from a shop just for the sake of buying something ... yehh not much has changed 7 years later.
Annnyyyywayyy... Mine is a bit discoloured now but I've had it nearly 8 years and my previous shelf was a sunny spot, that's why it looks like the way it does in my Perfume Collection Video haha. I'm quite picky when it comes to perfumes it has to smell nice and it has to have a nice bottle for me to have it on show... else it's in the box at the back and this bottle doesn't exactly have an eye-catching, heart-thumping look so it's usually shoved at the back of the shelf or in a bag. It's small, which means you can fit it in your bag and carry it around with you if you have a long day ahead. It's very sweet and Vanilla-ry.
2. Curious - Britney Spears
The reason I brought this perfume ages ago was because I saw Britney spray it on herself in her video 'Circus'. (yepppp I'm going back a long long time, 2009 to be exact) back then I didn't understand product placement... and thought that was the actual perfume Britney wore on a day to day basis how wrong I probably was... considering she has multiple perfumes to her name :P

| Britney Spears - Curious |
Like the song says...
"Theres only two types of people in the world" One's who like this perfume and the one's who don't.
It smells musty... urg I just don't like it... I used to spray it around my room and use it as an air freshener just to use it up...again we all have our own tastes. To me I would expect people 50+ to wear it... Like an old woman's perfume. I don't like being negative about things but I just have no good points about this apart from the box and how it works... On the box when you lift the lid it says "do you dare?" Which I like because it puts you on edge :P but overall I will not buy this again and I'm happy I got the smallest possible bottle.
3. Playboy - Play it Pin Up/Play it Sexy
Playboy Play it Pin Up is part of a collection but I only have the one it is the one on the left with the pink bow; because this perfume is nearly gone I have chucked the box away -.- but it was the one with a blue or purple box. It was so amazingly cheap and the scent is nice and sweet, it reminds me of candy floss. Something you would wear on a daily basis, and the bottle is small so you can carry it around with you :) Play It Pin Up is a nice cheap perfume as it only cost me £6.00, and I would buy it again.

| Playboy - Play it Pin-Up |
The one on the right is Play it Sexy, this one has the box. This perfume is the opposite to the Play it Pin Up. It smells sort of spicy to me, I did take a look at the ingredients and pepper is one of them so that may be why; but I wouldn't say it smells 'sexy' in my honest opinion, thats probably why I have a full bottle left :P. Again, it has a small bottle so you can take it with you and this one is cheaper than the pin up one, this one was £4.30, I think thats because the Pin up one was part of a collection. I do prefer the Pin Up on to this.
4. So...? - Kiss Me/Sinful
 |
| So...? Sinful |
 |
| So...? Kiss Me |
Again cheap perfumes, but these smell amazing. The So Kiss Me one is a daytime perfume, You can smell the vanilla and pineapple in it; but as for a word.. it smells flirty and fruity, which is probably why its called kiss me. haha. I have had little versions of this perfume before and I used to wear it at high school, so this perfume to me is like the Love ETC one, because I link it with my school days.
So Sinful (right) is my favourite out of the So...? Range :) it is gorgeous :) I would definitely say it is a night time perfume, it smells daring. You can definitely smell the strawberries and pineapple scent in this sensual fragrance. It is an attention-getter but it only seems to last about 3 hours but for £5 what do you expect? that's why I think it is a night time perfume as it only lasts a couple hours. I also have the body spray in this same scent and I sprayed it in the girls changing rooms after P.E at school back in the day and the teacher asked me what it was.. and when I showed her just a normal 'deodorant' bottle she looked quite shocked and said she expected it to be in a fancy bottle with a large price tag on. I will definitely buy this again :)
5. Elizabeth Arden - Splendor
 |
| Elizabeth Arden - Splendor |
I thought I'd spelt 'splendor' wrong but that's what is says on the box. This perfume is by the one and only Elizabeth Arden. yeaas this isn't one of her best fragrances as I have heard but I actually like it. It is definitely a spring perfume and smells gorgeous when sprayed first thing in the morning on a nice spring day. It smells so crisp and clean like you've just got out the shower and your completely fresh. There are some mixed reviews about this perfume some are saying yes and some are saying definitely not. The bottle not so good. I dislike the bottle really I like big fancy bottles that stand out it reminds me of that 'happily ever after' potion on Shrek. Overall you buy perfumes for the scent not the bottle so I would say yes I would buy it again but I'm hiding it in the box :P.
6. Katie Price - Stunning

| Katie Price - Stunning |
This perfume was actually given to me, I didn't go out and buy it. I wasn't actually meant to have it but circumstance... and I had this perfume. Seen as it was Katie Price aka Jordan; I don't follow her celebrity drama all as I really know is she lives in the same country as me and her name. This perfume on the whole is okay.
The bottle makes a nice decoration in my bedroom and the perfume makes me smell nice for college. I find it very strong smelling and it does last a long time, it reminds me a lot of Miss Dior Cherie but a cheaper version. This is good as it is affordable which means you can buy the gift set of this perfume which is what mine was and it included the body lotion and body wash which means you can 'layer' the fragrance if that makes sense. However, I still prefer Miss Dior Cherie :P.
7. Miss Sixty - Miss
This perfume was also one of my high school scents. One that I used to shove in my pencil case and spray at break and lunch times. It smells flirty, girly and sweet, it doesn't last very long at all so I'm happy I've used most of it at school. It's not strong, it's just sweet smelling. The other good thing is it comes with a nice 'broach' or pin, in a flower shape which is a silvery grey colour and a body wash. Although thinking about it, when I spray it now I can smell a champagne sort of smell, but I have been left school 3 years so it might have gone off a bit now haha.

8. Playboy - Stay the Night (Body Spray)
 |
| Playboy - Stay The Night Body Spray |
I know this isn't exactly a perfume but it is a body spray and I have used it as a perfume in the past I took this particular one to my high school trip back in 2012. This again is a perfume I used to use and then never got to the end of it. I sort of go mad on one perfume and then don't use it for years until I find it again. Once, I've found them now I'm usually only using them to get rid of them. Which is the case with this one. Yes it did smell nice and fruity when I first brought it, but now I've had it for 4 years the smell has faded and it just reminds me of soap. When I spray it all I can think of is soap or washing up liquid. This is most likely because it's gone off. Like I said at the start when I was younger I didn't understand how perfumes can go off and how you have to use them no matter how much you like them ... I just thought they lasted forever.
9. Victoria's Secret - PINK with a splash of fun and fearless Body Mist
 |
| Victoria's Secret - PINK Body Mist |
Again, I know this isn't a perfume, but I use these body sprays; mist things as perfumes, I mean what else are you supposed to use them for. This one again was a gift to me and it came from America :) It does smell nice and when I spray it I can smell notes of water lily and currents. It is definitely a summer scent but I wouldn't wear this one as a perfume again. I would probably spray my clothes before I put them on with this.
(I couldn't find this exact bottle but I found the same body mist in a different bottle - they must have changed the packaging for the UK? as like I said the one I had came from America)
Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday

Oh by the way did I mention it was the best sold new launch in 2012 and the best sold perfume for 2013... hummmm wonder what the future will bring. Noo I'm a bit biased I know but I have shown this perfume to a lot of people and not one of them has said they haven't liked it. I wore it out the next thing I know my college mates now have a bottle and are wearing it out.. chyeh! Supposed to be my signature scent but everyone's nicking it ..ahh well sales are up for Nicki I suppose.. It is sweet, fun and fruity. The amber and pear are noticeable. It isn't to heavy on; doesn't smell overly fruity or floral.. everything that is used in the perfume compliments something else and over all is very well balanced. What a good first perfume... Go Nicki!Now cross your heart and hope to die that you do not tell anyone what I'm about to tell you... Nicki Minaj Pink Friday .. is my signature scent .. but shhhhh it's between me and you and no one is to know.. Yehh I absolutely love this fragrance. It's fruity, floral, lasts a while, it's loved by the masses and it's Nicki Minaj ...... what more could you ask for :)
11. Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday Special Edition

| Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday Special Edition |
So because I liked Pink Friday a lot and I love Nicki Minaj so much, I decided to get the Pink Friday Special Edition. I love it as i'm going to but it does smell similar to Pink Friday just not as strong, that's probably because this is an eau du toilette whereas Pink Friday was an eau de parfum. I love how she has changed the bottle around and the box. I prefer the Pink Friday version because it's a lot stronger than this and last's longer. When I think about what perfume to wear I always go with Pink Friday because it's my favourite. Anyway, its a pleasant fruity scent thats smells like a fresh spring morning. I will always make sure I have a bottle but it will only be 30ml as you can't seem to get the 100ml anymore... unless The Perfume Shop brings it back.
12. Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday Deluxe Edition

This is another release of Pink Friday from Nicki. Again, it has the same bottle and same box design. However, this bottle has completely changed the colour scheme and it looks like a professional bottle with the gold mirrored effect and the black hair to contrast. It looks a lot more precious than the others in my opinion. It is not identical to pink friday, it does smell fruity but it has a better after scent if that makes sense. It's young, sweet and flirty. Definitely worth the money that it costs :) It lasts a long time... on me anyway and if anyone says it smells the same as Pink Friday, it doesn't trust me I should know, I have both. I really wish I could've won the divinity bottle of this from the Couture from Minaj collection but I didn't win the competition :( Never Mind there will be loads more competitions in the future :)
Don't forget to check out my Perfume Collection Video on YouTube. I mention some different perfumes in the video than what I do on here.
