Perfect Scents At Lloyds Pharmacy - Juicy Couture Couture*



I've been honoured to have the opportunity to review for LloydsPharmacy, for those who aren't sure what LloydsPharmacy is they're a leading community pharmacy and healthcare provider with over 1,650 pharmacies across the UK, mainly in community and health centre locations. 
They also sell a variety of products from health and well-being to beauty and fragrance; I've been given the chance to select a perfume from their website to provide my honest opinions and comments.

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

Juicy Couture Couture Fragrance Review



On receiving the item, knowing that it was a perfume, I was hopeful that it would arrive safely and damage free in the post...Which luckily it did! 
The main reason I chose this scent to review was due to the fact I'm a complete Juicy Couture newbie! I've never even sampled their scents so to try this for the first time was an exciting joy to have. 
This is the 30ml sized product, I already adore the packaging, Juicy couture go the whole way to make their products appealing and feminine. Perfectly sealed the box explained its contents, ingredients and size etc all in a beautiful golden font that was easy to read. To me the way that the product's information and title is printed, is a edgy but still yet glamorous style with the hot pink lettering catching the eye.


Opening the packaging/box completely felt like Christmas, it was  a wonderful surprise to see such a outstanding bottle of perfume. Already it was shouting out to me that it's a bottle you would never want to throw away even when you've used it up! Perfect for displaying even on a dressing table, Juicy couture couture has a classy appearance. Paying attention to the smallest detail of the top and the added charm to the bottle I was hoping that this scent would smell as good as it looks!


My first reaction after the delicate spray pumped onto my collarbone and wrists was oh my goodness.. I noticed that the scent did have a strong kick to it to begin with, I've been a lover of very light and sweet fragrances so this was something I wasn't use to..But I did begin to gradually become use to it and the scent must have calmed down in around 30minutes of trying it. It has a fun and flirty scent that was noticed quite a few times from people's reactions, so positive compliments/reactions was a complete bonus! 
Upon first application the mandarin orange, orange blossom and grapefruit top notes are smooth and strangely intriguing. What follows is mostly plum, rich and jammy. The honeysuckle and jasmine sit lightly in the background, providing subtle hints of softness and femininity. The drydown isn't particularly ground-breaking, however it is extremely pleasant and soft. The sandalwood, amber and vanilla provide a nice, basic conclusion to a rather unique fragrance.
I've enjoyed wearing it on both daytime and evenings out, and will be interested in looking at other Juicy couture fragrances in the near future.

HipHopCandy Review!*

How did I come across these adorable products?

Whilst reading some online blogs one day, I found such a sweet kawaii and all things cute blog that i couldn't help but read! I'm becoming very much a fan of japanese kawaii related products and luckily enough this blog was promoting a small business that i fell straight in love with!

The name of the business is HipHopCandy and for a small business, they have tons of cute and kitsch products and i was so thrilled to be given the chance to write a review for them!

What type of products would i be able to find on their website?

If you like all things cute, unique and sweet, or know someone who does and would love to find somewhere that is reasonably priced for that perfect gift HipHopCandy have such a range to look through such as:
  • Accessories and goods
  • Bath and body
  • Buttons
  • Gift packaging
  • Home fragrance
  • Jewellery
  • Shirts 
  • Stationary 

I just adore how welcoming and sweet even the website layout is, it's very well put together and easy to navigate without any issues! With other websites they are connected through such as youtube, facebook and twitter, you can keep in the know of any updates to products and get any help if needs be so easily(I must say I love a company that can be interactive with their customers!)


Products that i received to review for HipHopCandy


With this website and the amount of products that sounded so unique and good enough to eat, reviewing for them was an exciting and fun experience! The staff of the business was very helpful and informative when speaking with me and the delivery was very fast and well packed so everything came in tact! 
This following review is all my own honest opinions and i have not been paid to do so, my comments are 100% my own words and thoughts.


Frosted Cupcake - Foaming body wash
2oz $4.25


Now as i'm very much a fan of cupcakes, whether they are the real thing or just scented etc seeing this foam wash in the packet I was thrilled! Straight away I easily unscrewed the cap and smelled the yummy body wash contained within; the scent itself is unbelievable and i was so shocked at how realistic it was! 
It smelt exactly how I imagined and yes although it smelt good enough to eat i must warn that it is not edible! -giggles-

How to use-

It is ideal to put a desired amount onto a wash cloth and personally i would put a 50 pence sized amount on as this wash produces lots of creamy lather and bubbles! basically rub it into the skin and then wash off completely, leaving the skin clean and sweet scented! 

Would I recommend the foaming washes by this company?

Indeed i would!Not only is the size bottle perfect for travelling but they have such a variety of scents for example: cotton candy, melon soda, vanilla peach and raspberry lemonade your spoilt for choice if you love something more unique and sweet! Along with the foaming washes you can also find soap bars, bath salts and even body sprays all handmade I would have to give thumbs up for such creativity and imagination this business has!


Vampire Kiss - red raspberry and pomegranate lipbalm
$3.50

Very surprised when I had also found this item and with the name suggests I was curious on what the scent would be like and how it would feel on the lips. 
The scent once opened is subtle yet very fruity and the raspberry overpowers the pomegranate scent, but i must say it is a nice combination; there was also a slight adding of menthol too so when it is applied there can be a tingling sensation on the lips. The texture is very soft, sheer and moisturising and the ingredients are also natural like candelilla wax, soy lipids, and beeswax. 
And for this i always find natural ingredients to be so much better for the skin and this was the case for the lip balm!
I thought the packaging/theme was cute also and very different from any other lipbalm i have come across i wasn't expecting such a fruity scent for a vampire theme balm! 
As this is one of many scents this website also supplies ones such as: mint choc chip, Creamy Cappuccino, peanut butter and jelly and much more! and it is definitely a great price!


My opinions are that there is so much to look at its a website perfect for all cute and kawaii lovers and i would definitely recommend this to all my readers!

This was also added into my package a robot acrylic phone charm!
So adorable <3
