Katy Perry OPI Collection - swatches.

News broke last year of OPI teaming up with Katy Perry for a collection of nail lacquers, the only info I could find was 'released in January'. Then, in this months Allure magazine I saw a small ad for it which sent me on my hunt. 

You buy all of the collection (including the 'Shatter' effect polish) separately in full size bottles for about £10.50 each OR you can get a mini's collection which is 3.75ml's of each one (not including the 'Shatter' topcoat but I'm guessing it's exactly like the Barry M one).

As I wanted to try them all I went for the mini's collection, here they are:

Katy Perry OPI mini's collection.
With a banging picture of Katy on the front.

Teenage Dream - A candy pink glittery number.
The One That Got Away - A ruby red with faint glittery hint.

Last Friday Night - A blue glitter.
Not Like the Movies - A green/silver with faint glitter.

This is just another look at Not Like the Movies, it's like a galaxy green/silver kinda colour, it has hints of faint glitter in it. It changes in the light and it's amazing!

Teenage Dream and The One That Got Away - 1st coat.

Last Friday Night and Not Like the Movies - 1st coat.

Teenage Dream and The One That Got Away - 2nd coat.
As you can see they look so much better with a 2nd coat, I actually have TOTGA on now I love it!!

Last Friday Night and Not Like the Movies - 2nd coat.
The picture doesn't do NLTM any justice at all, its amazing!

After trying them all I now want the full bottles of each one! So goodbye money - hello pretty nails!

Other OPI collections include Burlesque and Justin Bieber with their 'Nicole' range (I actually love the look of 2 of them hah!).

What nail polishes are hotting up your nails?

Katy Perry 'Purr' - A Fragrance Review.

Now some of you know, but for those who don't, I'm a "qualified" (I have 2 certificates and it's my job title) Fragrance Advisor!
It's half fun but dealing with the general public daily makes my blood pressure soar, I don't understand how people don't have manners!
Anyway...

An exciting new launch came in this week - It was Katy Perry's debut fragrance 'Purr'!

I've been excited all week for it, checking every delivery we've had just waiting for the launch kit to come in, and yesterday - it did! Now, no photos are supposed to be taken at work (due to merchandising rules etc) but I sneak peaked this one in the stock room (so I won't be in trouble) on my Blackberry - sorry for the poor quality:

Yes the bottle is shaped like a cat! It has a silver collar with the words 'Purr' written on it, jewelled eyes and a really cute little kitty face on the box.

The top notes include Peach, Gardenia and Apple which definitely are picked up to begin with, however not in a sickly fruity/sweet way.
The middle notes are Jasmine, Bulgarian Rose and Freesia that warm down to the base notes of Creamy Sandalwood, Vanilla Orchid, and Musk.

To sum it up I'd say it's a subtle fruity/floral with a definite pick-up of Vanilla base. I love it, it's gorgeous for either a dayime or an evening fragrance, plus it's Eau de Parfum so should last upto 6-8 hours (depending on your skin type).

I love the advertising campaign too, Katy in a kitty outfit, looking fierce and playing with a giant ball of yarn - pure joy!

Retail price for a 50ml EDP is £40 and it is exclusive to Selfridges until Saturday 20th November when it will hit the highstreet- so ladies get out there and get smelling!

Other celeb fragrances I highly recommend are: Jennifer Anniston, Beyonce Heat and Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style collection.

What's your favourite fragrance?
