Prada Candy.

Perfume can bring back as many memories as a photo sometimes, If you go through a phase where you only wear a certain fragrance then stop for a while , the next time you smell it you will have memories of how you felt and what happened within that space of time when you wore that scent, weird huh?

The point is , fragrance not only brings back memories , but i actually does reflect your personality. I love sweet and fruity scents , but they have to have a certain sophistication to them. 
I recently discovered a new perfume that brings out the girly & flirty part of my personality but doesn't make me smell like the latest edition to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. It keeps the sophisticated feminine side to it as well , i wouldn't expect anything less from Prada. 

The bottle is super pretty and classic but the hot pink colour keeps it modern and fun.


















The Scent.
Prada candy is made up of neutral scents, when put together the all merge together instead of having one stick out as the most obvious. The base notes are caramel and balsamic with vanilla at the heart of the scent and some top notes of musk.

Most of Prada's perfumes i find to feminine and being 14 years old , just a tad outdated and grown up for me, however this scent is fun and feminine, suitable for any ages. even a teenager like me. defiantly recommend this scent!

Sweet as candy.

One of the many latest editions to my makeup drawer is the Yves Saint Laurent 'sheer volupte *Candy* '
Which is another collection in there broad range of gorgeous lipsticks. Something that made me want a lipstick from YSL for ages was the the metallic gold metal packaging that looks purely luxurious! the colour range is impressive , but not overwhelming. unlike mac they don't have completely outrageous colours, they stick to sophisticated, popular colours that women will love. Browns, nudes, reds & pinks, as well as some peaches and corals & a really pretty plum.


The packaging for the *sheer volupte candy*











The colour i purchased is number 2.


The colour can be layered to create
 different looks.








The colour on the lips , sorry for the bad quality!








+ once again , the stunning packaging!










I would defiantly re purchase this lipstick because it lasts long and is still really sheer and moisturising! oh and it tastes amazing haha!
