Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Perfume

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge*

It's not everyday I receive a surprise parcel in the post but I was lucky enough to return home from work last week to an exciting box on my doorstep with my name on it.

The lovely people at The Perfume Shop had wrapped up the yummy new scent from  Estee Lauder - Modern Muse Le Rouge for me and I couldn't have been more pleased.


Now.... I'm a big Kardashian/Jenner fan and knowing Kendall Jenner is the face of this new perfume did make me like it a little more.... don't judge me - I want to smell like a supermodel too haha!


I've never owned an Estee Lauder perfume so I was so pleased to finally have one to add to my fragrance collection. The bottle is a gorgeous simple design with the cute bow lid which I LOVE, look how pretty it is!


The scent itself is very sophisticated. I really wanted to share this on here as I really really do love it but sharing a perfume via a blog post is sometimes a little difficult (for me) so I've grabbed a little snippet from the website to give you all a good idea of what I'm chatting about...


"A sexy, provocative contrast of two distinctively different accords-rich roses awakened by ripe fruit, with a seductive velvet creme accord-provide an intriguing dual impression. It's a true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it."


With strong notes of raspberry, rose and saffron this fruity and floral fragrance has gone straight to the top of my most worn! (Although not for work.... that's a waste!)

I wore this recently on a night out and it lasted for hours and hours, it has the glam factor about it which means it is fab for both daytime and evening wearing! 
It's also not something that I feel is 'too young or too old' - so ti seems like a great scent for anyone of any age!

With it's slight spice this is going to be perfect for the Autumn season too which makes me really happy - hello new signature scent!

The Modern Muse Le Rouge eau de parfum starts at £45 - check it out here.

The Fragrance Shop : Discovery Club

I've always been a little apprehensive when it comes to beauty boxes/monthly subscriptions etc, I was a subscriber to a well-known beauty box years ago and ended up unsubscribing as I just didn't feel like it was worth the money I was forking out each month for it.
So when I was e-mailed about The Fragrance Shop's Discovery Club I was a little reserved about the thought of it but wanted to see what all the fuss was about as I hadn't heard of it before!
Discovery Club is a quarterly box subscription from The Fragrance Shop. In the boxes you receive a number of different perfume testers, alongside a variety of money off vouchers for them.
Yes, not only do you get sweet 1ml bottles for each scent but you also get a voucher up to £10 for every single one - this is something I was not expecting, very generous!

I love perfumes, I am a big 'smells' person and I literally feel naked without any perfume on. My collection grows and grows each year and I just love treating myself to a new scent - it's something I don't mind splashing out on now and again.
In the Spring box the fragrance's are mainly female but there is also a male fragrance included - perfect for the boyf as he's as bad as I am with fragrance, a big collector!
The 'Spring 2015' box* is the first one for this year and includes the following : 

Hugo Boss - Hugo Woman Eau de Parfum (With £5 off voucher)
Givenchy - Very Irresitible  Eau de Toilette (With £5 off voucher)
Guerlain - La Petite Robe Noire Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette (With £5 off voucher)
Versace - Eros Pour Femme Eau de Parfum (With £10 off voucher)
Dolce & Gabbana - Floral Drops Eau de Toilette (With £5 off voucher)
Stella McCartney - Stella Eau de Toilette (With £5 off voucher)
Versace - Eros Eau de Toilette (With £10 off voucher) Mens

Now I know what you all want to know.... how much is this box thing going to set me back? Can you believe it but it is.... only £5 per box!!! 
Insane right? Especially as this one, for example, not only comes with 7 gorgeous samples for you to try out but a whopping £55 worth of money off vouchers to spend either online or  in store.
For me, the fact you can spend the vouchers online is the biggest bonus as I live on the Isle Of Wight and we don't have a store here.

There is no commitment to these boxes and the price doesn't change no matter how many you want to purchase - you can go for just one box with the quarterly plan to try it out or you can order either the 6 month plan, 2 boxes, or the 12 month plan, 4 boxes.... the boxes cost £5 each whatever way you choose and you can cancel at any time. See all the info for yourself - here.

This is a fantastic idea for fragrance lovers plus a great way to save money on both new scents for yourself or for as a present!
 Love buying perfumes as gifts? This is an amazing way to get them a little cheaper! 
Love finding new scents released for the season? This is a great way to check some of them out that you usual may not test when in a store.
