This Week I'm Loving... #5

Dance Moms

I started watching this back in like 2011 when it first started and be obsessed with it from the first minute! I love dance and this show is amazing! I have started watching it again this past week and have had some serious marathons - I get so so into it, I need them all on DVD! (I wish I still danced!)

HD Brows

Finally! I've had my eyebrows re-done and I LOVE them! (Thanks Mellisa!) I get so paranoid when my eyebrows aren't done and I had left it wayyyy to long this time to get them done so it feels fabulous to have a great shape and colour back!

Lee Stafford Ubuntu Oils Light Oil Repairing Mist

Now... I had totally forgotten that I owned this! Other products from the range I have completely used up or use every week, but for some reason this little spray had been living at the bottom of a basket - poor bugger! My hair has felt so, so dry lately and as I am getting it bleached next week I really want to get it in a half decent condition for it!  I've been using this everyday - it's so light-weight that it doesn't feel like an oil or heavy at all! It has made my hair so manageable and soft - it will definitely be staying in my daily routine for now!

Bounty's

Oh god, I know - I'm meant to be being good but I had a bounty the other day and my love has been totally re-kindled. They aren't the most popular chocolate bar are they? But I really like them!

Fake Bake Beyond Bronze Shimmer Brick

This has been in my life for years and years and years. I bought it when I saw Billie Faiers used it (I always love her make-up) I literally use this every single day - there is hardly any left, I need to find a new one! Hands down my favourite shimmer brick that I own.

Red Lips

I have being wearing a red lip so much this past week or so! I have so many favourites....

Cheryl Stormflower Perfume

I've had this perfume since October and after getting some newbies over the Christmas 

season I stopped wearing it for a bit. BUT, this week I decided to get it back out again. Everytime I wear this I have someone ask me what it is, it's like nothing else I own and I'm going to be gutted when this bottle runs out!

Start Your Day With Katie 

I have lost count by how many times I've talked about this book! So many you ask what it is when I post pictures from it on instagram, twitter and facebook! A lovely quote for everyday of the year - it keeps me motivated and makes me smile every morning! This month I have been in desperate need of this!

PAYDAY!!!

Hallelujah it has finally come - after waiting from 19th December until this week I finally have a few pennies again! I have literally been living off pennies this past couple of weeks and it has had me seriously down in the dumps! Payday I love you!

What have you been loving this week?

Cheryl Stormflower Perfume

I think most have us have been waiting for this day for years - the day the Cheryl Tweedy Cole Fernandez-Versini has her own perfume out on the shelves of the UK!

It was always going to happen, I mean, why wouldn't one of the popular females on this side of the planet have their own signature scent?!

Can I just say aswell, before I start, that I obsessed with each and every look that Cheryl has been whipping out weekly on the X Factor - how is she so perfect? I'm so looking forward to the upcoming live shows to see what she wears and what she does with her hair and make-up!

So, back to the perfume! First, lets talk about the name. Stormflower. I love it. The name is said to have been designed to reflect the smell of air after the storm. 

I'm so glad Cheryl has thought about the name and not decided to call it "Cheryl" or something - I wouldn't have been impressed with that.

The fragrance comes in a gorgeous curvy bottle with fabulous flower lid! I love bottles like this, I have Vera Wang's Love Struck also and I just love how pretty they look sat on my shelves - rather than plain old square bottle. I think bottle's have alot to do with how much a fragrance is sold - if you're anything like me you want something that looks good aswell as it smelling good!

Cheryl Storm Flower Eau de Parfum Spray 30ml*

The size of the product I have here is 30ml, which is the smallest size available alongside a 50ml and 100ml. Looking at the amount I've used already though (in just a week) I'm not sure this little bottle will last me too long!

Now after saying that you can probably guess what I'm about to say about the scent - it's awesome. 

Like most people I'm pretty pants an describing a scent (you'd never believe I work with perfumes - opps!) so I'm going to share with you a brief description of what the clever lot at Cheryl HQ have come up with .....

'...fruity notes of nectar and mandarin followed by a floral heart that is interwoven with the scent of peach blossom and freesia. The fragrance then closes with base notes of sandalwood and musk.'

The scent overall is light but bold and has a lovely refreshing quality to it. It's meant to be a scent that complete describes Cheryl's elegance and personal style and I think she's done a fantasic job.

Celebrity fragrances can be a bit hit or miss with me and I always get a little nervous I won't like them as much as I like the person but this is a total winner.

With no hint of teeny-bopper sweetness or any form of old granny smell this is totally modern, fresh and a perfect everyday scent for most ages!

I have worn this every single day since I got back from Florida and have had a great response from the boyf and even had a few people ask me what I'm wearing which is great... I think I shocked them when I stated proudly it was Cheryl's! It's really wearable and lasts for ages!

I love wearing it too work and I've also been wearing it when I've gone out in the evenings!

This is going to be on my Christmas list for sure, it won't be long until I'm rationing out the end of this bottle!

You can get the 30ml fragrance (as pictured) from Fragrance Direct for just £20.99 at the moment - that's a saving from the RRP price of £23.95!
With Christmas coming up (yes it really is, don't kid yourself that it's not) this is a must have for both Cheryl lovers and perfume addicts alike! 

Have you smelt Stormflower yet? What do you think?
