Madonna Truth or Dare

The ultimate chameleon Madonna has released her new fragrance Truth or Dare exclusively in Selfridges and I was lucky to have a little sample to test out. The first thing that really drew me in is the amazing bottle designed by Fabien Baron. I love the creamy white porcelain effect against the angular shape and beading detail. It really stands out on the shelf and would look beautiful on any glamorous dressing table.

The fragrance itself is quite surprising and not something that I would necessarily would have associated with Madonna or any celebrity perfume. The scent combines heady florals with wood and vanilla to create a sweet, slightly powdery, evocative and lingering fragrance.

Madonna's inspiration came from her mother's perfume, which contains a strong essence of Gardenias and Tuberose. The Gardenia is definitely prevalent in this scent, along with notes of white lily petals, caramelised amber and musk. The fragrance develops on the skin over time and really matures, fading into a deeper scent that lasts.

Truth or Dare is exclusive to Selfridges and can be found on their website for £25 for 30ml, £32 for 50ml and £42 for £75ml here.

Monochrome Disco

Being blessed with a pair of pretty hefty thighs (thanks to my mother whose was all sorts of an athlete) and a 36" inside leg I didn't think that Disco Pants from American Apparel would be a viable choice for me. However, I was still curious to give them a try and after wrestling them on in the AA changing rooms I have not looked back!

Studded blazer - Zara (£89.99 here), Leopard shirt - Zara (£29.99 here), Disco Pants - American Apparel (£70 here), Shoe boots - Kurt Geiger.

 

So what do you guys think of Disco Pants? Are you brave enough to squeeze into a pair? xxx

17 Mirror Shine Purple Haze

I have been loving 17 Mirror Shine lipsticks lately! They are so smooth and glossy and leave my lips feeling soft and hydrated. I really like the fact that you can use them to just add a tint, or really layer them up for more colour. My current favourite is Purple Haze.

 

I absolutely adore this colour! It's bright and vibrant but is very comfortable to wear and fades beautifully!

You can find the 17 Mirror Shine On lipsticks in Boots for £4.59 here.

Schwarzkopf Got2b Play it Straight

As much as I try to hide it my natural hair is wavy/ curly, which turns to frizz and unruly volume when it comes in contact with humidity. In my teens I was absolutely obsessed with getting straight hair and had to be surgically removed from my straighteners, which damaged my hair and completely ruined any natural shape it had. The wonders of modern science have made the straightening process so much easier and faster. The new innovation from Schwarzkopf is their got2b Play it Straight straightening blow dry kit, which is a semi-permanent solution to rebellious, unmanageable hair.

 

Play it straight contains a special protein that helps loosen the bonds that make hair frizzy. The formulation also contains keratin, silk and wheat proteins for caring and conditioning. These advanced formulas help to seal in lasting smoothness to create a weightless, humidity-resistant barrier to frizz. After only one application, this kit promises to leave you with perfectly smooth, straight and manageable hair, for up to 10 washes. 

To me this sounds amazing, but how exactly does it work? The video below shows you all the steps, including smoothing, sealing and blow drying your hair.



Got2b Play it Straight is priced at £6.99 RRP and available now from Boots, Superdrug, Asda, Savers and Amazon. For more information please visit www.got2b.co.uk or G2B's facebook here.
