My Perfume Collection - Updated, featuring Marc Jacobs & YSL


I'm a big fan of perfume as it always makes me feel expensive and special whenever I wear it. There's just something about particular scents that give me a warm nostalgia feel, so I thought I would share with you my updated perfume collection, as I haven't done one of these since 2013.

I will pop a link (highlighted in pink) to an amazing website, for all the perfumes I have listed so you can check out the top notes of each fragrance

What's your current perfume favourite? Leave a comment down below or tweet me.
Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy
Viva La Juicy I first bought on my last trip to New York about six years ago. At the time I was obsessed with anything Juicy and purchased this in the Juicy Couture shop on 5th Avenue. I have bought this ever since as it has strong memories for me, from my time in New York.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Fleur
Viva La Juicy La Fleur is one of my favourite perfumes for the Spring and Summer. If you like the original I think you'll like this, it's a slightly more fresher, lighter scent than the original but nether less beautiful.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight
Another one of my much-loved perfumes for Spring is this Daisy Eau So Fresh. I wouldn't typically go for these more fresher scents, but there's something about this, that is perfect for everyday.

YSL Manifesto
Manifesto is one of my newer scents I've added to my collection and is actually fast becoming my favourite! This is a gorgeous deep, musky scent that lasts all day on the skin for me.

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, is a perfume I have worn ever since I was a teenager. As the name suggests this is a classic fragrance that never gets old for me.

Vera Wang Princess
The packaging alone sold this too me a few years back now and ever since Vera Wang Princess is a perfume I have bought time and time again. This is a strong perfume that lasts all day, but it does have a lovely freshness running through it and is one that every girl should own!

Gucci Rush
Gucci Rush is another one of my signature teenage scents, I love this I think purely for the nostalgic memories it brings back. I admit this is a super strong scent hat is not to everyone's taste, but it does last all day.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Roller Ball
I also got this little roller ball travel edition of the Viva La Juicy scent in New York as it's great to pop in your handbag for a night out or on the go touch ups.

Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is another nostalgic scent for me and one I must get again soon. This perfume stick I've had for a while now and should probably throw out, as I really don't use it that much because it leaves a greasy residue on the skin, that can be messy at times.

My Top 10 Summer Nail and Beauty Essentials featuring MAC and Maybelline

My Top 10 Summer Nail & Beauty Essentials
I love Summer time it's my favourite season, the sun is out, the evenings get lighter and I love having tanned skin, going to the beach, wearing bright Summer clothes and having BBQ's! So here are My Top 10 Nail & Beauty Essentials I can't live without throughout the Summer months!
What are some of yours?
1. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream
When it's hot outside, I hate wearing a heavy foundation, but still like something to cover up my imperfections and the Maybelline BB Cream is perfect I love this stuff as it has the right amount of coverage which feels light on the skin and has an added SPF of 15.
 
2. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Continuous Spray SPF 30
When it comes to protection I opt for a high factor to start with and I love this Hawaiian Tropic Spray as this has a fine mist which is less messy and sticky, I just find sprays much more convenient.
 
3. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh
I recently did a blog post review on this perfume, it's a gorgeous Summer scent as it's fresh and not too heavy and has a lovely floral accents to it which beautifully refreshing.

4. Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in Greenberry
If you didn't know by now I am a sucker for Mint Green and this has been my favourite Mint polish ever since I got my hands on this Barry M colour, it is the perfect Neon Mint shade and looks amazing on toes!

  5. Maybelline Megs Plush Mascara Waterproof
This is one of my favourite mascaras as it catches every lash, I call it the lash catcher and this it's great in waterproof for those pool and beach days.

6. Maybelline Baby Lips Balm Hydrate
My lips are always so dry in the Summer and so it's imporatant to always carry something to keep them hydrated when I'm out and about.

7. Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic
I always take the spritz version of this toner away with me on holiday, I have a mini one for my beach bag and it's perfect for refreshing the face throughout the day as it contains cooling Cucumber and Aloe Vera.

 8. H&M Vanilla Hand and Face Wet Wipes
Wet Wipes are a must in my beach bag as they are perfect for refreshing your hands and face and for wiping those sticky hands after applying sun cream and eating.

9. MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum
This for me is the ultimate Summer lipstick, it's a perfect pop of neon pink for those Summer days and nights!

10. Victoria's Secret PINK Ready To Party Body Mist
I love any Victoria's Secret body mist for the beach, the scents smell amazing and are amazing for a refresh throughout the day and a great alternative to a heavy perfume.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight Perfume Review and Photos

Marc Jacobs Daisy is one of my favourite day perfume's and I love the beautiful packaged Summer Limited Edition scents they bring out, as they are so feminine and wearable without being over powering.
Here are my thoughts on the Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight Perfume.
What's your favourite Summer Perfume?
Price
 I have the 75ml bottle which retails for £52 from what I've seen this is the only size they do in this Limited Edition version, but for 75ml it's a reasonably priced perfume for how big the bottle is.
Packaging
 The packaging is stunning as ever with it's beautifully elegant bottle and pretty daisy top it complements any dressing table! I didn't even want to throw the box it came in away as yet again it was covered in an array of coloured Daisy's.
I personally prefer the bright Daisy packaging to the original Eau So Fresh perfume because it's bright and happy, but I think this is personal preference.
 This is a spray applicator with top.
Scent and Longevity
This is a lot fresher to the original Eau So Fresh Perfume I would say comparing them both together the original is a little deeper and suited for evening too, whereas this one is defiantly a day perfume.
I'm not usually keen on fruity scents which this is, but this just has a gorgeous fresh smell mixed in with the fruitiness to create a beautiful Summer scent.
It's described as having notes of raspberry, apricot and blood orange which give it the sweet scent mixed with tiare tahiti which in turn takes the edge of the sweet smell.
All in all this works perfectly, the only down point is it's longevity, you defiantly have to re apply this a couple of times to keep the scent lingering longer, but I tend to find this with a lot of sweet perfumes.
 
Overall Thoughts
For me this is a beautifully packaged non over powering perfume perfect for those Spring and Summer days or as a lovely gift for someone. This is not to everyone's price range but for how big the bottle is and plus the pretty packaging it's a small price to pay.
As I said before the only negative for me is the scent longevity, but hey it's pretty accessory to pop in your bag to top up your perfume throughout the day!
 
I award the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight 4 out of 5
