REVIEW: Marc Jacobs Dot

Hi Ladies,

I thought I would share with me my new favourite perfume. If you have been following my blog for a while you will know I am a big fan of the Marc Jacobs fragrances. I love Lola, Daisy and now the newest Marc Jacobs perfume, Dot :)

My boyfriends parents brought me this back as a gift from their summer holiday. I am so lucky as somehow my boyfriends mum always seems to pick out the fragrances which I am lusting after?! (I have no idea how she does it).

As soon as I saw pictures of Dot online I knew it would be top of my Christmas list. The packaging is adorable and I couldn't wait to try it!

It definitely didn't disappoint me. I actually prefer this to the Marc Jacobs Daisy scent (yup I just said that!) It is fresh, fruity and girly but for me has more of a distinctive ''signature scent'' than Daisy. It leaves a more musky/warm slightly vanilla scent which I really love. To me it is fresh, but less of a pure summer fragrance, and I would happily wear it throughout the seasons.

Dot has notes of red berries, dragonfruit, honeysuckle, jasmine and vanilla amongst others! It lasts well, like the other Marc Jacobs fragrances but definitely needs a top up if you are wearing it through to the evening.

I have the 30ml perfume which is so cute. It also comes in 50ml and I've seen some lovely gift sets which would make great Christmas presents :)

Have you tried Dot? What is your current favourite fragrance?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Ins, Outs and I'm guest blogging at Zuneta! :-)

Hi Ladies

I've just settled down with a cup of tea and a biscuit so I thought I'd give you a little update on things with me in the form of an ins and outs post (who doesn't love these!).

In

MAC brule eyeshadow - I'm loving this eyeshadow at the moment, it's perfect for effortless ''no makeup'' makeup, and looks fab all over the lid with winged liquid liner. My go to look at the moment!

Getting active - Last week I went to two aerobics classes and my first ever yoga class (which was so relaxing!). I felt so refreshed and full of energy afterwards, I can't wait to go back this week!

Christmas shopping - To spread the cost of Chrimbo I have oficially started my Christmas shopping! I've only picked up little bits and bobs so far, but Its made me so excited! I know its early but I'm feeling a little festive already! :-)

Marc Jacobs, Lola - Since the cold weather has definitely started I decided it was time to put down my summer scent (Nina by Nina Ricci - I love this) and change it up a little. I got Lola for Christmas last year and it is lovely - Light, fruity and floral :)

The Million Pound Drop - I was addicted to this programme last time it was on - and I am again! I think the concept is fab and I even roped the boyfriend into playing along with me last night (We didn't make it past three questions - massive fail!)

Out

Brrrr its cold in here! - I can't believe how quickly it has become so cold. I've already got out the scarves, mittens and hot water bottles! It also seems to absolutely tip it down every time I walk into Uni at the moment - time to invest in a properly waterproof coat I feel!

Nude lipstick - Don't get me wrong, I still love my nudes but at the moment I've been really enjoying wearing brighter lippies, MAC's Snob is my current fave :)

Teeny tiny bottles - I've run out of my Sephora primer after less than a months use. why oh why can you only buy a o.o5 oz bottle!

and thats all my ins and outs for the moment! :) I also just wanted to let you know some exciting news - I'm doing a couple of guest blog posts on Zuneta in the next few weeks - yippeee!
My first post went live today, and it is all about my top tips for getting happy healthy hair. If you would like to take a peek you can do by clicking HERE! :-) It would be lovely to have some feedback from you all! :)

Hope you're all having a lovely week, and its not too cold where you are!
