Viktor & Rolf | FlowerBomb | Review

 

 
Hi beauts.
 
Today I thought that I would do something a little different and review a perfume. Now, I'm not the best at describing perfumes so hopefully this is OK.
 
Viktor and Rolf describe FlowerBomb as
"A floral explosion, a profusion of flowers that makes everything more positive. Viktor & Rolf designed a bottle cut like a multi-faceted diamond for their fragrance. Full-bodied and opulent, the Eau de Parfum explodes in a bouquet of sensations with its addictive floral notes which leave their trail, like a whirlwind that is distinctly couture. A millefleurs around the freesia, Centifolia rose, osmanthus and Sambac jasmine, supported by a background of patchouli."
 
However, I haven't a clue what the majority of that means. This has been my favourite perfume since the first day I smelt it in Debenhams in York. I only received my first bottle of it at Christmas and I was not expecting it. At first, I was tossing the box around wondering what it was, even though it was the only present I had been told to open last. Eventually, I had came to the conclusion that it was a watch as I had watched everyone else open one. Obviously, I was wrong.


Even though it is entirely based on flowers, I can also pick up a buttery/woody scent. I feel like I can only say good about this perfume! Its mature and sophisticated but will not make you smell like an old woman, it's floral and fun but will not wake you seem like a five year old. Perfection.
 

 
The only down side to this perfume is it is a little bit on the pricey side. With the 30ml coming to £50, this is what I got, 50ml at £69, 100ml at £96 and 150ml at £120, it certainly isn't the most expensive perfume ever but it isn't the cheapest either.
 
Overall, I can definitely say that this is a completely divine perfume and, if you can, you should go and sniff it at your local Debenhams/Boots or where ever sells it!
 
If you would like any more reviews like this, or if this one was good enough, please do comment. Am I doing OK at this whole blogging thing?
 
Until next time...

Overnight, Heatless and Bouncy Rag Curls

 
Hi beauts.
 
Last night I decided to give my hair a heat break and curl it with rag curls! It is very simple and all you need is your hair and cut up strips of any old t-shirt.
 
So, to start, raid your wardrobe and find the oldest t-shirt that you own, unless of sentimental value, and tear it right up. With scissors, obviously. I used an old floral one and cut it up into about twelve strips, this left me with one remaining.
 
 
 I started by washing my hair and letting it air dry until it was just damp. Then, I took a fabric strip and started rolling. I did this on about one and a half inch sections of hair.
 
  
As you can see here, they just look a bit like rollers, however, with long tails. Also, don't mind my somewhat angry face at this point, it was half past ten at night and I was pretty tired.
 

Here, I am just rolling the hair up the rag, starting from the bottom. If you have end papers, here is a good example of when to use them as the ends do get quite unruly and untamed. Also, for any Marvel fans out there, hi, I am wearing a wolverine t-shirt. It was actually my brother's but I wear it more than him.
 
Just keep rolling!
 
 
When you get to the top, just tie the ends of the rag together in a single knot. Personally, I find this part to be the hardest as I struggle to keep the hair in its roll.
 
 
They should then end up something like this.
 
 
Here is me in my school uniform just after I had taken the rags out and as you can see, they are perfect! Remember, though, that if your hair is too soggy before hand, the curls will still be damp and will drop out straight away.
 
I hope you liked this hair tutorial and if you would like to see more just like it, let me know and I will see what I can do. If you like my previous few posts, I'm sure you will be excited for what is to come! What would you like to see next?
 
Until next time...
