Vue d'ensemble

I have been willing to show you my perfume collection for a while now, but something always made me say: "Keep it for later". Part of it is because my collection is split between London and my parent's place... And still is.

But now I have decided Enough already and I'm showing you my perfume collection at my parents'! Here I display my perfume on a cake stand that I found in a charity shop. In London, I used to store them on a turning mirrored tray.

Please note that I'm not usually displaying all my perfumes all the time, as I like to rotate them and store them in their box, in my closet. This helps to keep them for longer, as light and humidity spoils the perfumes.

L-r: pot of my sample vials, Gender One (CK One), Anna Sui Sui Love, Version of Paris Hilton, Suddenly Madame Glamour, Gossip Girl Spotted!, Party Candy (Prada Candy), Diesel Loverdose

Gender One (CK One): This is probably the oldest perfume I still got. I received this one when I was around 15, so that's about 15 years ago! I kinda have a love-hate relationship with this, sometimes I think the smell is too heavy and can make me have headaches (I'm really sensitive to smells). I have talked about it in yesterday's post!

Anna Sui Sui Love: This is one of the first "grown up" like perfum I have purchased. It was during my first year of university. It's actually the only perfume I have repurchased! I like to have a lot, so I keep them forever! It is also the scent that made my ex go crazy! A favourite!

Version of Paris Hilton: I don't have a lot to say about this one, I bought it at the store I work at before Christmas as they had a promotion on them and this one was the last one. They had other version like Tommy Hilfiger's Diamonds, and I don't remember well te others.

Suddenly Madame Glamour: I was telling you about Suddenly Madame Glamour about a year and a half ago. I bought the perfume and I'm pretty pleased, as I like Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle but it doesn't suit me well. This one is similar and I can wear it. And it's cheap!

Gossip Girl Spotted!: This was my mum's Christmas present, that she offered me in September (I was meeting a guy...) It's grown up and elegant, a good Autum/Winter scent.

Party Candy (Prada Candy): Ok, another version, I know I told you that I'm not a big fans of cheaper versions, but I still have a few.... I bought this at Dollarama for 2 or 3$. I don't have any Prada stockists near me so I cannot compare, but from what I remember, it's close.

Diesel Loverdose*: I would never have thought of trying this and maybe not liked it at first but this is one of my favourites. I got it at the Diesel and Grazia Event a year ago.

Pupa Rose Bouquet de Parfums: I got this one on my first trip to Mexico (on my way back). When walking into Cuernavaca, I was smelling this nice flower scent, but didn't know what it was. When I got the perfume, I thought that it was almost the same scent!

Vials, I also keep my Revlon Lip Butters in there!

I'm not going to talk much about the vials, but here is what I got in the stash: Outspoken by Fergie, Kim Kardashian, Plum by Mary Greenwell, Calvin Klein Beauty, Crabtree and Evelyn Iris, The Body Shop Dreams Unlimited and Britney Spears Radiance. The last one is the one I'm wearing these days, just because I want to finish it. Nothing special. I also have some Scent and Sensibility ones, but cannot remember the name of each.

There you have it, part of my perfume collection, the other part being in London. But I can say I have:
Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy
Miss Dior Chérie
A Scent by Issey Miyake

I might have more but I don't remember!

Which is your favourite perfume?

Please stay tuned for Part 2 in a couple days!

Hello!

Here is my favorites of March!

Clockwise: Naked Palette, Anna Sui Sui Love, Eyeko Fat Balm in Toffee, No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara, 17 Miror Shine Lipstick in Belle, Lise Watier Portfolio Correctors in Light Complexion, Johnson's Daily Essentials Oil Balancing Light Day Fluid for combination skin.


Naked Palette: I think this palette doesn't need introduction anymore! But I like the fact that different looks can be created because of its wide range of colours.

Anna Sui Sui Love: I think that this perfume is discontinued, but I couldn't find the information anywhere. This is the perfume I had when my boyfriend fell in love with me, and it's actually my second bottle, bought on eBay because i can't find it anywhere else!

Eyeko Fat Balm in Toffee: This balm is intended for lips, but I use it on cheeks. It adds a nice touch of a camel hue, which is nice when using the Naked palette.

No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara: Actually, I have been using this mascara for a while now, but never think of talking about it. I haven't seen a lot of reviews about it, but I think this mascara is worth trying. It takes a while to get used to its weird brush, but it is nice because you get to target every lash, corner, bottom, etc.

17 Miror Shine Lipstick in Belle: Lots have been said about this lipstick last summer. I should've taken another shade, because this one is a "my lips but better" shade. But I really like the formulation, which is moisturizing and glides really well.

Lise Watier Portfolio Correctors in Light Complexion: This one is old, but I needed to cover a few spots and blisters this month. I have actually just used the green portion this month, and it did a good job for hiding redness.

Johnson's Daily Essentials Oil Balancing Light Day Fluid for combination skin: I have been trialling this for Glamour. It is a nice light moisturizer, perfect for oily skins. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't contain any SPF, which is kind of a must now. I know the other varient of this cream (eg dry skin) has SPF in it.


This is my last March favorite. This picture was actually taken a few weeks ago! This is the Malki Dead Sea Mud Mask Soap*. In other words, it is a soap that you let sink and do its wonder like a mask. It claims to remove dead skin cells and impurities, which is true. It is the reason why I had to hide spots lately. But in a good way, since I was feeling my skin was bumpy for a few months, but nothing was coming out. Since this brings out the impurities, I think it might take a little while for all of it to clear... (ouch!)

Have you tried any of these? What do you think?
