Hi there! Today’s post is about a fragrance – Bvlgari Omnia Paraiba Eau de Toilette. This fragrance is inspired by the paraiba tourmaline – a rare and precious gemstone. The fragrance notes are passionfruit and bitter orange (top note), passionflower (heart note) and cocoa bean (base note).
I’ve worn Omnia Paraiba on and off for a few weeks now, and I think it’s one of the worst fragrances I’ve ever used. It smells like a very basic passionfruit body spray – the stuff teenagers douse themselves in after PE (gym class). If I hadn’t known this is a Bvlgari fragrance, I would have guessed it’s the latest “So…” body spray for £2.99. Having said this, So…’s offerings are usually more sophisticated than Omnia Paraiba…
Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend Bvlgari Omnia Paraiba. However, if you’re interested, the fragrance is available as 25ml, 40ml and 65ml Eau de Toilette. I paid £24 for the 40ml bottle, but prices depend on where you shop. If you really are looking for a cheap passionfruit fragrance, I recommend Asda’s own brand passionfruit spray!

Haul! New Stuff From Thierry Mugler, Cacharel, Bvlgari, Dead Sea Collection, Faith In Nature, etc.
Hi there! I haven’t done a haul post in a while – and I don’t even know why. But today’s post is about some of the stuff I picked up over the past few weeks.
Superdrug Vitamin C Revitalising Jam Face Mask & Superdrug Refreshing Cleansing Pads. These products are £4.99 each, but I picked them up when they were on a Buy 1 Get 2nd Half Price promotion.
Dead Sea Collection Anti Wrinkle Retinol Day & Night Creams. I think these ones were £4.99 each, but I’m not sure. Either way, I found these at Home Bargains.
Dead Sea Collection Anti Wrinkle Facial Serum. Also £4.99, I believe. Yes, Home Bargains. And there’s Bvlgari Omnia Paraiba – £24 at Debenhams.
Palmolive Pampering Clay & Palmolive Purifying Clay shower gels for £1 each (Tesco).
Thierry Mugler Alien Fusion limited summer edition for £41 at Boots, and Cacharel Amor Amor for £31.50 at Debenhams.
Faith In Nature Lavender Soap & Faith In Nature Aloe Vera Soap. These were £1.50 each at Boots.
I’m looking forward to using these products. Apart from Amor Amor, all these products are new to me! Have you tried any of these products or would you like to try them? Feel free to comment, and thanks for reading!
Bvlgari Jasmin Noir Body Lotion
Hi there! Happy New Year! For ages I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to buy myself a bottle of Bvlgari’s Jasmin Noir fragrance. So I was really happy when I got this little body lotion as a sample. I thought it would help me make a decision – and it would make my skin smell lovely. 🙂
I really like this body lotion. Whilst I’ve had better moisturisers, this body lotion gets extra points for its beautiful, sensual, feminine fragrance. It smells gorgeous! In case you were wondering, Bvlgari Jasmin Noir contains green notes and gardenia (top notes), jasmin and almond (heart notes), and patchouli, amber, musk, woody notes, tonka bean and liquorice (base notes).
The body lotion smells really nice, but I’m still undecided as to whether I should buy the fragrance or not. At the moment I’m thinking that I would have bought the fragrance already if I had really, really wanted it. So for now Bvlgari Jasmin Noir is not moving in with me. But if this changes, I’ll let you know!
