Sarah Jessica Parker NYC Fragrance

The lovely Linsay from Ramblings From A Beauty Newbie kindly donated me her SJP NYC fragrance due to lack of use, and it arrived today!

Technically it arrived yesterday but it has been held hostage at the Post Office overnight as no one was home to receive it. Luckily the Post Office opens late on a Wednesday so I was able to pop in and collect it on my way to my Body Pump class hence the late post!

 She also sent me a tin of travel sweets and a cute little tin of handcream - the handcream smells delicious and feels lovely, and I've been happily munching away while I write this!

Thank you Linsay!

I love Sex and the City. I love Carrie Bradshaw. And now I love this fragrance! It is described as

 "inspired by the essence and spirit of Sarah Jessica Parker’s beloved character, Carrie Bradshaw, walking down her favourite New York city streets."

It has a lovely fruity, floral smell and I can see this getting used a lot in the summer months!

I meant to blog about this website a few weeks ago but other things kept getting in the way! I came across this site when I was ill over the New Year period and online shopping is a good way to pass the time when you're stuck in bed.

Anyway, this site sells perfume, cosmetics, skin care, bath and body products, hair products and gifts. I was surprised at the amount of brands they sell - some of them I've never heard of, but a lot of them are brands I use on a regular basis such as Bourjois, Rimmel, Maybelline and Max Factor. There is even a little bit of Benefit and Urban Decay.

After a quick look around the site I decided that buying some Bourjois products would definitely make me feel better so I set about filling my basket up. The savings you can make on the products are pretty phenomenal, for example I purchased a 10 Hour Sleep Effect Foundation for £3.99, saving £5.50 on the RRP.

All together I purchased:

Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect Foundation 30ml £9.49 £3.99

Bourjois Sweet Kiss Lipstick 3g £7.99 £1.99

Bourjois Complexion Enhancer Apricot 20ml £5.99 £1.50

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush in Lune Dor 2.5g £7.49 £1.50

Total Saving: £21.98!

I like the overall look and layout of the site and was very impressed with delivery - only £1.95 per order and it arrived two days later perfectly packed and sealed.

I did feel a bit guilty after shopping here, but then I thought I spend enough money on cosmetics and a bargain is a bargain - and this is much better than buying makeup from Ebay and risking fakes or used products.

I wanted to do this post now especially because Valentines Day is coming up! Perfume makes a lovely gift and they are selling lovely ones from Calvin Klein, Nina Ricci, Vera Wang (got my eye on that one) and DKNY - you really can't go wrong...start dropping hints now ladies!

I really recommend this website if you are a bit short on cash but still want a makeup fix - have you ever used this site before?
