Wednesday Wishlist #5

Hi guys, sorry my posts have been lacking a bit recently, but whilst on a day out at Ystradfellte Waterfalls, I managed to fall over and break my camera; being the clumsy person that I am! So until I get a new one, I'll have to use a not so good quality camera, but I haven't got round to sorting that out yet!

Anyway, here's my Wednesday Wishlist!

1. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft N Gentle- I love highlighting, but have always used liquid highlighters. (i.e Benefit High Beam). I'm looking to transfer to powder highlighter, and have heard countless amazing reviews of MAC Soft N Gentle. MAC currently have the Heavenly Creatures Collection out, and there is a few other Mineralize Skin Finishes out with it, but I prefer this one to the highlighting shades in the collection.

RRP: £21.50

2. Forever 21 Sheer Ditsy Bow Top- This weekend I am going to London to watch Volleyball at the Olympics, and when that's finished, I'm planning on nipping down Oxford Street as I want to go to Selfridges. Watching one of MacBarbie07 videos, I saw here wearing this shirt, and loved it! So Forever 21 is on the list of shops to go to when I'm down Oxford Street!

RRP: £16.75

3. NARS Laguna Bronzer- I have never been a big user of bronzer, but as of late, with it getting hotter, I'm finding I want to add a little colour to my face. Laguna is possibly the most talked about bronzer, and its one that I defiantly want to add to my collection!

RRP: £22

4. Marc Jacobs Dot- Yesterday me and my Mum were out and smelt Marc Jacobs new perfume for the first time, and fell utterly in love! At one point or another, we have owned quite a few of his perfumes (Daisy, Lola and Oh Lola) and our love for his fragrances has carried on. The scent of this one is completely different to all of the others, and is defiantly my favourite out of the lot!

RRP: £37

Perfume Perfection: Jimmy Choo Jimmy Choo

This perfume is everywhere! Samples are in magazines, and it has various stalls in department stores. It is relatively old, but still causing quite a stir!

Heart Notes: Exotic Tiger Orchid and Sensual Tea Rose

Top Notes: Crisp Green Notes and Sparkling Ginger

Base Notes: Cedarwood

 

Personally, I'd call this fragrance more of an evening scent, it is very strong and sensual, but beautiful never the less.

Perfume Perfection: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

This style of post is inspired by FleurdeForce's post, Fragrance Friday. I thought I'd do a similar thing. Basically, I'm just blogging about scents that I am really into at the moment, and give all the top notes etc.

So as you will of probably guessed from the title, the perfume is Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs.

Me and the original Daisy have a very love hate relationship. My mum owns it, and one day I'll smell it and love it, and the next I'll hate it. It always smells stunning on my Mum, but sometimes when I wear it, I find that it really doesn't suit me.

But I find Dasiy Eau So Fresh very different. I first smelt it, when me and my best friend when on a shopping trip to Cardiff, and this, and Marc Jacobs Oh Lola (which I own) had just been released. I was sceptical, because of how I feel about Daisy, but I fell in love with it!

I received Oh Lola as a gift for my birthday, which is in October, and I think of Daisy Eau So Fresh as more of a summer scent, so I didn't ask for it.



The bottle is simply gorgeous, don't you think! And the smell really is divine!

Heart Notes: Wild Rose, Violet, Apple Blossom
Top Notes: Ruby Red Grapefuit, Raspberry, Green Leaves, Pear
Base Notes: Plum, Cedarwood, Musk

Compared to the over-whelming original floral scent, this takes a much lighter, fruitier and younger path. It is perfect for spring and summer, and the staying power with Marc Jacobs perfumes is excellent.

So next time your in a drugstore, or department store, have a spray and see what you think!
