Jil Sander | Mrs Strawberry Blonde

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 products – Jil Sander Simply Elixir Eau De Parfum & Rich Body Cream. The fragrance Simply Elixir contains the following notes: pink pepper, ginger and blood orange (top notes), violet, iris, cedar and rose (heart notes), and leather, vanilla and patchouli (base notes).

Let me start with the fragrance review and say… this fragrance is gorgeous! It’s violet and leather on a sweet iris and vanilla base. This fragrance is feminine and sophisticated, probably more suited to people aged 30 and over as it gives off a grown-up vibe. Simply Elixir could be a female version of Dior Fahrenheit, however, it would still be suitable for men who enjoy sweeter fragrances. The other day I doused my husband in Simply Elixir (he didn’t know the fragrance), and he actually liked the beautiful scent on himself (and so did I).

The body cream is great too. The formula is simply perfect. It’s quick and easy to apply the cream. It hydrates my skin perfectly, and it smells just like Simply Elixir. Awesome stuff!

If you’re interested, Jil Sander Simply Elixir Eau De Parfum (40ml) & Rich Body Cream (75ml) are available as a gift set. I paid £13.95 (post Christmas sale). The price is absolutely ridiculous. Even though the price has gone up to over £20 again after the sale, the gift set is still a total steal. This exact gift set is over 50 EUR in Germany (I looked it up and found it on a website for a department store chain similar to the UK’s John Lewis).

Hi there! Today’s post is about some of the stuff I bought recently. Most items are sale items – just what you’d expect me to buy! Alrighty, let’s look at the goodies!

1 Superdrug Optimum Retinol Booster Drops – 4 x 30ml for 50p each. Yes, 50p each! They used to be £14.99 each, but it looks like these are being discontinued, hence the ridiculous price.

2 Jil Sander Simply Elixir Eau De Parfum Gift Set (40ml EdP, 75ml Body Cream) for £13.95

3 Weil Passion Essence 100ml EdP for £12.45

4 Weil Belle En Weil 100ml EdP for £14.95

5 Sofia Vergara Tempting 100ml EdP for £18.85

6 Rochas Couture Mademoiselle Rochas Couture 90ml for £32.95.

These are the items I treated myself to recently. I’m excited to try them all. The first 5 products are new to me, and product number 6 – the Rochas fragrance – is a repurchase. There are a few more items on the way to me, and I’ll do another post for the later arrivals.
