What better place to start than their iconic Cleanse and Polish coupled with the new award winning Sheer Skin Tint?

Fragrance
I'm a perfume junkie. There I said it. I have at least 10 knocking around at the moment so I thought I'd share with you some of my favourites which would make lovely Christmas gifts.
I received this Oh, Lola! gift set for my birthday recently and it is beautiful! I've been wearing it pretty much every day :)
"
A sparkling, fruity floral, Oh, Lola! captures the flirtatious essence of her easy charm. Oh, Lola! opens with refreshing top note of effervescent raspberry. Her pink femininity is reflected in the beautiful peony heart. A sensual elegance with addictive vanilla in the dry down leaves an unforgettable flirtatious touch."
Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola! Gift Set - £50
Possibly the most beautiful perfume I own, Jimmy Choo's signature first fragrance is deliciously sweet and long-lasting.
"A modern fruity Chypre with warm, rich, woody depths. A fragrance inspired by modern women, strong, empowered, beautiful, seductive and alluring with a hidden and mysterious sense of confident sexuality."
Illamasqua have easily become one of my favourite brands this year. When I heard they were launching a fragrance I was ridiculously overly excited and I decided to treat myself for my birthday!
"
The first fragrance from Illamasqua, Freak is a concoction of dangerously exotic unconventional flowers that Illamasqua has unashamedly blended together to celebrate the night."
Illamasqua Freak - £59.00
