My new favourite bargain perfume :)

Hi Ladies,

I have been running low on perfume lately, but I didn't want to splash out on a new bottle of perfume as I have my summer holiday coming up and I usually treat myself to a new summer scent from the duty free. So in order to save my limited supplies of Marc Jacobs Lola and Nina by Nina Ricci I decided to get one of Next's scents to keep me going up untill my holiday. I was originally planning on getting one of the Next perfume's which I had used before and blogged about here but when I tested this scent, I knew I had to get it!

The fragrance I'm taking about is Next's Gold, which is described as ''A dazzling fragrance with golden flower nectars, gloriously sweet vanilla and molten amber'' I absolutely love it. It smells gorgeous, slightly musky but sweet, not too heavy for during the day but lovely for an evening too. I will definitely be re purchasing this once it runs out! I picked this up for £6.50 from a next outlet store but I think it is available in the highstreet stores too. I'm definitely going to check out some more of Next's fragrances, does anyone have any recommendations?

The perfect handbag perfumes?

Hi Ladies,

I have about 3 favourite perfumes (post about those coming up shortly!) which I like to alternate and use on a day to day basis. However, even though my handbag is absolutely huge I don't really like to carry around a full size bottle of perfume on my bag (I think its more the fear of loosing or breaking it than the weight seen as I carry around all kinds of junk in my handbag!). So I have a couple of smaller perfumes which have become permanent fixtures in my most used handbags, and they are these two little gems from next.

They are flowers on the right, and just pink on the left. Both of these are really reasonable from next - I think they cost around £5-6 for 30ml which is the perfect size for your handbag! The scents are quite similar, very fresh, girly and easy to wear. Flowers (unsuprisingly) smells a bit more floral than just pink and is the one I have been reaching for more lately, as it is perfect for summer! Although they cannot compete with my more expensive perfumes in terms of staying power, I find them to be pretty long lasting. They are both quite light scents, perfect for top ups throughout the day :)
