Hello my lovliess.
So I have been thinking about doing a giveaway ever since beginning my blog. I have a couple of prizes lined up from Soap&Glory and wondered if any of you thought it was a good idea?
Let me know your thoughts, it would be great to know what you think, and I will either do the giveaway or not depending on your feedback..

Perfumes I'm Loving Right Now ♥
Hey Guys,
So I am a big! perfume lover and I have collected quite a few..ranging from higher brands to normal perfumes like 'celebrity ones'.
So these are the four that I am currently in love with and have quite often put on a spray of each all at once. Yeah I know a bit strange and probably smells a bit too strong to be honest but I like it..haha. I don't do it very often. I am also a big lover of body sprays..once like impulse, charlie etc..but that's for a different blog post lol.
So the first one I mentioned in my April favourites and it is the Christina Aquilera perfume. It is a beautiful smell and doesn't smell like a 'celebrity' scent and smells much more..expensive I guess.
It is a very elegant and sophisticated yet still feminine. I like these kind of scents so if you don't then perhaps this one is not for you. I am so rubbish at describing scents so this is how it is described on some websites;
'A jasmine scented concoction is inspired by Christina's personal memories'
I can't tell you how much I love this..however I am probably going to say this about all of them.. but seriously I adore this perfume and its one of my favess :)
Next up is a Morgan perfume..bit of a cliche huh? I'm Morgan one of my fav perfumes is called Morgan..its love! haha
It is actually called Morgan de toi Light My Heart. The packaging is divine and it smells lush. It is kind of a musky fragrance or as described on some websites:
'A floral, woody musk fragrance. Has passion fruit, pink grapefruit water lily and white amber'
Sounds pretty good huh? Again it is one of my faves and I have repurchased this quite a few times over the years..I haven't got bored of it yet ;).
The next two are both by Thierry Mugler. I love his fragrances..well the two that I have..
So first is Angel by Thierry Mugler which is a very, very sweet smell. I'm sure you have probably heard of it before. I used to think it was extremely over rated but then I got it for Christmas and I now agree with everyone else who loves it.
It is a Eau De Parfum so is quite strong but last all day. Sometimes I can't smell it on me but people still recognise it and say..'You smell nice, what perfume is that'. It is also quite distinct so could be your 'signature smell' if thats the kind of thing you go for. It is described on some websites as;
'A refreshing. oriental, woody fragrance. With a blend of vanilla, sandalwood, melons, peaches and plums
I can't tell yoy how much I adore this fragrance. However it is pretty pricey and the prices range depending on what size you want to get.. you are better of getting a bigger size because you get more for your money..it is just having to spend a big lump sum out at once. But I say its well worth it.
Saving the best til' last is my all time favourite perfume..even the best out of this bunch is another Thierry Mugler perfume and is called Alien. I can't tell you how much I love it. Like Angel it is a very strong scent and is an Eau de Parfum.. so if you dont like strong scents..it perhaps isn't for you. Like Angel also it has wonderful packaging. The bottle is purple and useually the actual perfume is just a clear liquid but this one is actually purple..something which I have never seen before and taht I think is really unique. Also the name 'Alien' I think it is a bit strange to call a perfume such a strange name but it adds to how unuasual, and as I said before, how unique this fragrance really is. Again websites describe this fragrance as;
'Its ingredients are warm, white amber and Indian Jasimewarm white amber in the base, woodsy notes in the heart, and sunny Indian jasmine in the top'
Anyone who wants to try this perfume go to Debenhams or somewhere which sells this perfume and try the tester before you spend out the money. Everyone has different tastes in perfume but this is personally my all time fave.. and I think it will be forever haha.
Alos with both Angel and Alien I reccommend to get the refillable ones because if you buy it again you can just get the refill and it won't cost you as much money.
If you want to buy any of these perfume I reccommend Frangrance Direct. It is a great website and you can usually get perfumes a great prices. Click here.
So I hoped you liked this blog post.. its rather long but I had a lot to say..
Lovee..Morgan xx

Review: Molton Brown Minis! ♥
Hey everyone,
So I received these as a gift a little while ago from a friend. To be honest I didn't really think much of them. A lovely gift don't get me wrong but I didn't know when I was actually going to use them. But recently I have absolutely fell in love with them.
So they are form Molten Brown, a brand that I have used before and that my mum absolutely adores. So I kind of knew what they were going to be like, although I hadn't ever used the shower gel before (I had only used the hand moisturiser and soap.)
I was about to get in the shower one day and I just saw them sitting on my chest of drawers looking at me. They look so cute with all their different colours and flavourings...so I took one and fell in love. They are so handy to use now and they are all I use.
There is 10 in pack. As I didn't buy them I don't know actually how much they cost but I think they would probably cost around £20 which I don't really think that is a bad price for a nice brand like Molten Brown. They are all 50ml or 1.7 fl oz, so pretty small to be honest and you wouldn't believe how long they last for. I have been using them for about 3 weeks now and I have only used up 2 and about three quarters through my third. I guess now your thinking that I don't shower a lot but I do :).. everyday actually! The 10 that you get are all different flavours (or scents?..I don't know you know what I mean) Some of them I'm not too keen on but most of them are nice and the odd few that are my absolute favourites.
But i only actually know 8 or the flavours(or scents) because I threw the other two away as I didn't realise that I would being a blog post on them..but these are the 8 flavours that I do know.
-Energising Seamoss Bath and Shower-has seaweed and horse chestnut extracts aka nice smell
-Relaxing Yuan Zhi Bath and Shower-has yuan zhi extract..no idea what that is or show to say it but it is very nice one of my faves.
-Re-Charge Black Pepper Body Wash-has detoxifying black pepper oil. Ok scent not one of my faves but I am still going to use it and it sounds pretty fancy..haha
-Invigorating Suma Ginseng Bath & Shower-Has juniper berry, cinnamon, oakmoss,and geranium. Claims to awaken your sensing. Sound cool and smells lush!
Blissful Templetree Moisture Bath & Shower-Has extracts from exotic plants from the Indian Ocean. I have actually used this one. Thumbs up from me.
Enlivening Toko-Yuzu Bath & Shower-Has extracts from toko-yuzu fruit. Again no idea what that it but it looks good. Is a fun orangey yellowish colour but does not smell too good.
Heavenly Gingerlily Moisture Bath & Shower-One of my faves. Smells gorgeous..can't wait to use this one.
Inspiring Wild-Indigo Bath & Shower- Love this one as well. has extracts of wild-indigo flower. This is perhaps my favourite?
And that's all of them. I mean I say on some of them I don't really like the scents but I probably will either use them or give to someone that likes the smell..although I don't hate any of them.. if that makes any sense at all. If you are thinking about buying any Molten Brown stuff then I really think you should give it a go. Especially these dinky little things, they are so useful for everyday showers would be perfect for travelling. Click here to go the the Molten Brown website and have a look around.. never know you might see something you like. Also you can buy the shower gels in 300ml containers for £17.00..I think I might have to invest in one when I run out.
Anyway woffled on too much..hope you enjoyed this blog post. Til the next one..

April Faves ♥
Hey Girlies,
So as it is my first blog post I thought I would start off simple (well kind of) and do a good old April favourites. Favourites blog post/ vids- my personal favourites haha!
Well I start of make-up/beauty related.
Barry M Nail Polish in Mint Green- I love all of their nail polishes and think they are great quality for the £2.95 price tag
It is in the colour mint green and is pretty much self explanatory. It is kind of a pale/muted green. I think it is going to be pretty hot this summer- but that's just my opinion.
Also the consistency is very nice not too gloopy like some other brands. Another things that I notices was if you didn't want the colour so 'in your face' then you could only apply one coat (I have applied two in the pic). So yeah a current fave which I have been wearing most of the month.. until the next new nail polish!!
No7 Skin Illuminator in Peach- I think this is such a versatile product and you can use it pretty much anywhere on your face- highlighting on your cheekbones, brow highlight, done centre of the nose etc. I use either my fingers and regular foundation brush- quick and easy. It is also great quality. But it is pretty pricey at £10.50- almost mac pricing? Hmm.. I don't know but still its a great product.
Olay wet cleansing wipes- I only bought these the other week because they were on offer in superdrug- 2 for £2. Bargain is what I thought so I picked them up. Olay are a very reputable brand but I wasn't thinking that they would be very good as I hadn't heard of anyone raving about them before.. but now I am! I don't know about you but I like my face wiped to be quite moist.. or wet shall I say. And these are they leave your skin clean and make up free and I love them. They are for normal, dry and combination skin so good for anyone. So I thank superdrug for putting them on offer and enabling me to discover such a wonderful product haha.
L'oreal Perfect Clean Foaming Gel Wash- I saw SWalkerMakeup talking about this on her youtube channel and so I thought I would check it out. I got the one for achne prone skin but they have three different ones to choose from. And all I can say is this is the best invention that L'oreal have ever come up with. When you use it, you really feel like your digging out all of the dirt stuck in your pores and I can see an improvement on my skin. It looks much healthier now. I have also seen some other brands come out with similar type things to this but I am going to be faithful to old L'oreal and stick to using this one.
Vaseline Healthy Hand & Nail Conditioning- A great hand cream on offer for £1 yes one pound in Superdrug so I picked up three, two for me and one for my mum. Such a great buy and doesn't leave your hand greasy for a life time! It sinks in pretty quick if I say so myself. Yeah not much else to say apart from its a great hand cream and my mum loved it!
Scents and Sprays- I have been loving the Christina Aguilera fragrance and the new Impulse Into Glamour. They complement each other well and are very girly yet sophisticated scents. A lot of people comment on my smell (they say it smells nice) and so it must be doing something right. The Impulse Into Glamour also is only about £2 I think so very affordable. I think it is my favourite Impulse scents so far :)
Confessions of A shopaholic and Readinggg!- So I thought I would throw in a random one but it is true I have loved reading this month especially Confessions of a Shopaholic. I had seen the film and wanted to try the book and I have to say the book is better..although I do still love the film (Isla Fisher is a great actress) Whats more the book is set in and around London so it is great to know what shops and stuff shes talking about. A bit sad I know but I love it. A big recommendation to all you shopaholics out there.
And that's it my first blog post done.. and until the next one good day and goodnight (haha)
Morgan xxx
