Little Mix Wishmaker EDP Gift Set.

Little Mix Wishmaker Gift Set.

Little Mix have released their second fragrance Wishmaker and you may be surprised of the scent. Not only can you buy the fragrance on its own, you can also purchase Wishmaker in a gift set which contains different goodies, depending on which one you choose. Following on from their first fragrance Gold Magic which has a spell binding scent that harnesses the powers of fruits and musk, i wondered what Wishmaker would smell like and would it be different from the bands first offering?

Whats In The Gift Set?

The Wishmaker gift set i picked up contains the EAU DE PARFUM 50ml accompanied by the 250ml bubble bath and a pair of one-size socks. The bottle to their second scent is a complete overhaul from the bands first fragrance. Wishmaker is a fits-perfectly-in-your- hand round bottle with pink wording that matches the futuristic spiral head spray cap. The spray head itself which possesses the metallic purple colour gives out a perfect burst of Wishmaker when and where you want to apply. The bubble bath which is a nice bonus to any gift set smells exactly the same as Wishmaker and not synthetic at all and after you have enjoyed your Wishmaker bubble bath you can then treat your feet to the fluffy comfortable socks.

Wishmaker Whats The Scent?

Wishmaker is described as a delicious fruity vanilla, with some interesting notes.

Opening note apricot brings a delicious ripe fruit before leading your senses to the floral heart of Wishmaker which are the soft neroli and freesia.

The surprising notes of toffee and candies are mixed in the base notes of creamy sandalwood and sweet vanilla that once sprayed, you will love!

Wishmaker has many personalities to it, the florals, the creamy sweetness and the hint of toffee to add some depth to it along with the sandalwood. Silage is great as people will know your wearing a perfume but wont be overwhelmed by its presence and longevity from when you apply it is excellent.

Suitable for any age range and can be worn to any occasion, treat yourself to the surprisingly great scent that is the 
Little Mix Wishmaker, you wont be disappointed. Don't forget to shop around and search on the Internet to get the best deal. X Neil.

How To Buy A Perfect Winter Coat.

How To Buy A Perfect Winter Coat.

The season of winter’s harsh and cold weather, we are required to wear a few extra layers of clothes to keep us protected from the elements. Items like boots, sweaters, hats and gloves are pretty easy to choose, but buying a quality winter coat can be difficult. Coats are a bit more expensive than regular jackets and different models serve for different weather conditions. 
With this in mind, we have decided to put together a short guide on how to buy a perfect winter coat. If you want to buy the one that suits your needs, stick with us and by the time you finish reading our article you will know exactly what to look for.

Fabric Is Everything.

When buying a winter coat materials and fabrics are the most important thing. Best materials for winter coats are wool and cashmere. There’s nothing better than a wool coat for snowy and cold weather. It will keep you warm, and most importantly dry. On top of that, wool is very durable and low-maintenance material. A wool coat can withstand winds, snow, rain, etc. and it will last you for years, even decades.
On the other hand, cashmere is a lot warmer material, but it is more sensitive and prone to damage. If you decide to go for a cashmere coat you should know that they’re often more expensive. Additionally, there are other materials like coated cotton that is perfect for wet conditions. These coats are covered in polyamide, a macromolecule that will keep you dry regardless of how hard it snows or rains.

Something About Styles.

After you have decided on the material, you can proceed with choosing a style of your coat. This all comes down to your tastes and preferences, but still, there are some rules about what goes together and what doesn’t.

For example, overcoats are usually worn with a nice suits, a silver or gold minimalistic watches, and a pair of elegant dress shoes. If you spend a lot of time in tailored suits, then this is a perfect solution for you. These coats are made of 100% wool or cashmere, making them perfect for cold winter days. If this is too formal for your style, then maybe consider getting a pea coat. They are slightly shorter than overcoats, but they go perfectly with sweaters, shirts, heavy boots and practically anything else.

Make It Fit.

One last thing to keep in mind when buying a winter coat is to get one that fits you perfectly. Because coats go over a couple of layers of clothing you will need to buy one size bigger than your other jackets and shirts. It’s pretty hard to see if the coat fits you unless you test it out, so put on a bulky sweater when you go shopping and lift your arms, sit down, bend over and move around while trying out a coat to see if it’s too tight. The last thing you want is to find that some areas are too tight or constricting.

And that is all from us. Regardless of what style you choose for your coat, make sure that everything fits and that it is warm and ready for harsh winter weather. Also, if you want to have a long-lasting coat, have it dry-cleaned once the winter season is over and put it away in your wardrobe so it doesn’t get damaged.

Xculpter Hair Dryer - Style It Your Way!

The Xculpter Hair Dryer is a patented and innovative concept that delivers a fusion of a hair dryer, brush and comb, to help achieve a style you crave without the hassle. Designed by the french company Sweetliss SAS the easy to use hairdryers can be used by men, women and even children's hair whilst the men can also use it for their beards.
Not only do these great hairdryers quickly dry your hair, great for when your in a rush, they also style whilst drying and can even be used on curly hair.
Its only until you use the Xculpter that you will then understand how over 30 months of research carried out by a team of engineers and beauty professionals was worth it, created by experts, works like an expert! 

The Xculpter Diffuser.

The Xculpter diffuser, the key element of the innovation is made of two parallel combs of 75mm tooth length. The comb's length has been thoroughly designed to deeply penetrate thin or thick hair strands and to allow the air flood from the dryer to deeply spread into the hair rather than just on the surface. The double lateral air-flow windows have been conceived following aerodynamics principles in order to optimise the air flow direction and improve the air blower efficiency. The clip brush has been thought for a professional blow-dry finish whilst also can be removed to use the Xculpter with the comb alone.

The innovative Xculpter is made of polycarbonate HD, an ultra resistance and also aesthetical material, is the first diffuser which can be adapted on two hairdryers with very different diameters: 
43mm for the Xclupter Xity, Compact Pro compact Hair Dryer and 39mm for the Xculpter Wild, Mini Travel Hair Dryer. The Versatility allows owners of both models to easily switch the diffusers.

Xculpter Wild For Short Hair.

The Xculpter wild for short hair allows performance of the most complicated techniques used in classic hair styling. The mini lightweight 1050W hairdryer features two air flow settings with a cool shot button and also arrives with: One Xculpter Diffuser, Clip Brush With Angled Bristles, Universal Clip Brush, Concentrated Nozzle and a handy travel pouch to keep the Xculpter in when not in use.

The Xclupter wild dries, brushes and combs and "Xculpts" short hair and beards, though it can be used to restyle rapidly on long hair.

This Xculpter wild is really lightweight that you don't get that dreaded arm ache when you have been holding your previous hairdryer for too long trying to dry your hair. Your hair will dry in quick time with any attachment you choose to use, my personal favourite is using the Xculpter with the clip brush that features the angled brushes. You will achieve a smooth blow dry finish and you can even skip the flat irons, its that good!

What You Can Achieve With The Xculpter.

You can achieve professional results at home and expect good hair miracles when using the Xculpter, these are just some of the tasks it can achieve:

Wet Hair Styling.
To Straighten Curly Hair.

Quick Styling On Dry Hair. 
Styling Short Hair.

To Dry Curls.
To Give Volume.
Tame Your Beard.

Create a tousled style and many more.

You can even use the Xclupter to restyle your hair the next morning.

Xculpter Xity For Demanding Hair.

The Xclupter Xity for demanding hair is a professional ionic 2000W hairdryer with a super activated blower.

Offering two air flow settings with three temperature settings and arrives with one Xculpter Diffuser, one Clip Brush with Angled Bristles and a Concentrated nozzle, this powerful hairdryer will put any demanding hair back in its place. Thanks to the ionic technology the Xculpter reduces static hair and will dry your hair really quick, even on the lowest setting.

Each attachment works extremely well in what u want to achieve with your hair and after you have finished you can place into the handy pouch bag it arrives with.

Why I love The Xculpter.

I have used many hairdryers and hair stylers over the years and have never been able to achieve a smooth blow dried look with just a hair dryer. I have always had to use flat irons afterwards to get that smooth look whilst also they would make my hair behave. 

The first time i used the Xculpter i knew my hair would behave as the comb instantly glides through the hair whilst also allowing direct heat to the roots for volume. The angled brush that easily fits onto the comb, smooths the hair shaft as you move the hairdryer down as you dry. Your hair is instantly smoothed with added shine and your styling time is instantly cut down as you have ready-to-go hair!

Nicki Minaj Trini Girl Perfume

Trini Girl is the new perfume released by Nicki Minaj and is produced by the renowned Elizabeth Arden.
After purchasing Onika and blogging about The Pink Print and loving those scents, i was eager and intrigued to find out what Trini Girl would smell like and if it had its own unique character.
The box Trini Girl is packaged in, is a very different design from the previous fragrances from Ms Minaj.
A shiny gold background with pink wording and design, does help this box standout from other competition sitting side by side on the shops display shelves. Also featured on the back is a preview of what the bottle will look like before you open, which is great for when your shopping for scents and there isn't a bottle on display to look at.

Trini Girl - The Bottle.

The Trini Girl bottle is in the same form as Nicki Minaj just like her previous bottled scents. Some people are put off by this, but i think the design is very distinctive that its individuality sets itself apart from any other bottles you may own in your collection.

You know that when you purchase a Nicki Minaj scent you are going to get a doll-like bottle but whats so cool is, what will the doll-like bottle be like?

Trini Girl arrives in a bright pink bottle whilst also featuring gold detailing on the front. The spray head cover is the same concept of any other from the collection, the head of Nicki Minaj. 
Black hair with a shiny gold face and nude lip, looks like the same design as Pink Friday's spray cover head just with different coloured hair. The welcomed bright pink bottle is a nice addition and least you will be able to know which scent is which, when reaching for a scent to wear out of the collection.

Trini Girl - The Perfume. 

Trini Girl was created by Nicki Minaj to pay tribute to her Trinidadian origins and is labelled as a fresh floral-fruity blend. The top notes are sprinkled with litchi, blood orange, quince and sorbet whilst the heart is composed of apple blossom, Trinidadian chaconia flower and dewy leaves. Trini Girls ending composition ends with white musk and coconut cream. Trini Girl is a soft fruity heaven without overly being like a sweet like candy fragrance. It is quite a dimensional fragrance in the fact you will get short bursts of the different notes at different times and the more times you wear Trini Girl, you will discover its notes more. The musk and coconut cream brings a soft milkiness tone to this unique concoction and will have you smelling your wrist when applied.

A light soft skin perfume that lingers close to your skin rather than filling a room with its presence.

Trini Girl - Conclusion.

Trini Girl harnesses its own unique character from the Nicki Minaj fragrance collection, which is something you are wanting and some what expecting when you are buying from a scent range. Each scent has to have its own identity whilst also evolving and Nicki Minaj certainly achieves that with her appealing scents. 

Trini Girl isn't the loudest and longevity could of been improved for it to last longer, but its a welcomed new addition to anyone's scent collection. Trini Girl Eau de Parfum is available as a 30, 50 or 100 ml and also available is a body lotion, body mist and shower gel.
