Perfume wishlist

Perfume wishlist

Hey there beautiful people~ Hope this post finds you well!
These past few months, I've developed a massive love for perfume, and I've come up with a little wishlist to remind myself of what I need to buy next time they're on offer..

I'm not very good at describing perfume scents, but I'll try my best!


Top notes: Red Berries, Dragonfruit, Honeysuckle
Heart notes: Jasmine, Coconut Water, Orange Blossom
Base notes: Vanilla, Driftwood, Musk

A few weeks ago, I smelt Dot and Honey by Marc Jacobs. I fell in love with them both equally, and went into any perfume shop any time I had a chance to smell them, to compare them, but I still couldn't decide which one to buy. They both smelt like they were made for me, but I couldn't decide which one to pick.

Then one evening I saw that Honey was on offer on Amazon and I just thought 'why not?' and bought it there and then! 

But.. I still feel like I need Dot in my life. I feel like Dot is a slightly more.. mature version of Honey. I don't know what it is about it, but it smells amazing on my skin. Out of the three perfumes on this list, this is what I'm definitely getting first!


Top note: Orange blossom
Heart note: Jasmine Absolute, Patchouli
Base note: Cedar Wood, Honey Rose

I don't usually like woody perfumes, and I smelt this on the off chance because I thought the bottle was pretty (I know, I know. What can I say? I'm such a sucker for pretty packaging..).

I actually thought it was too strong when I sprayed it on a tester strip, but when I sprayed it on my wrists and let it settle I knew I had to have it! Too bad payday wasn't anywhere near that time... Sigh.


Top notes: Sweet Pea, Rose
Heart notes: Berries, Citrus, Cocktails
Base notes: White Musk, Sandalwood

Guys. This smells MOUTHWATERING. It's so sweet, even sweeter than the original Jimmy Choo perfumes. I feel like this is one of those perfumes that is like Marmite. You'll either love it or hate it. I LOVE IT!! And I must have it. Might just buy it with my Boots points..

What perfumes have you been lusting after lately?
Any recommendations? (^__^)

Long Time No See :o)

Hey there beautiful people! Hope you've all been well while I've been away.

I stopped blogging because life got in the way, but I'm back now
with more time and energy than ever before - so lets get this show on the road! (^__^)

A little update for you guys - I've changed my blog URL from

'themaryfairy.blogspot.co.uk'
to
'ReflectionsAndAffections.blogspot.co.uk'.

I thought it was about time I shed my childhood nickname
and choose something more grown up instead ;D 

I'll be slowly making changes to my blog layout too -
once I remember how I did it the first time I set up my blog.. XD

That being said, if you are, or you know of, someone who does
blog designs, please drop me a link below and so I can check out your/their portfolio :)

In the meantime, look forward to more regular blogposts - I'll be
posting a variety of beauty and skincare related stuff, and maybe even outfits too!

If you have any requests or ideas, do comment below and let me know!

Till next time, stay beautiful my lovelies ♥
