"Coleen Rooney, fashion and style icon of a generation and one of the UK's most photographed women has launched the long awaited premium fragrance, Coleen Butterflies.  The bottle is fashioned from heavyweight sheer pink glass, adorned with a cascade of gold butterflies symbolizing femininity. This beautiful fragrance is said to truly reflect the young woman Coleen has grown to become.  A sparkling burst of citrus, sultry rose and hibiscus opens the fragrance, melting the senses with subtle hints of black pepper, nutmeg and vanilla flower, tumbling into a fall of creamy cedar and rose wood with a subtle hint of amber and tonka bean; the sumptuous scent lingers to leave an indelible impression.  Coleen who has been involved in every aspect of the product is justifiably proud of the finished article "I love the fragrance which is both feminine an alluring. The bottle will look fabulous on anyone's dressing table an...

We hope you'll find something here to interest your punky little heart. All our perfumes are completely original, and our formulae slaved over with absolute devotion, you'll never find an imitation or a product with less than 100% of our hearts in it. Not literally of course, that would be pretty gross. You've probably noticed that our style is pretty unique. We like the stark, dramatic effect; it contrasts so beautifully with what's in the bottle ;) All of Lolly Rotten's perfumes are made with 100% natural cold pressed Jojoba Oil, which your skin will adore.

Monthly favorites posts are so much fun! It's crazy how much your face and hair care routines, clothing choices, and music tastes can change in just one short month. It also helps prove that I go shopping way too often :D So, here's my list - enjoy!  Beckham Signature for Women : I'm obsessed with this perfume and I've pretty much worn it every day of June! It has a really refreshing and sweet scent. I especially love the fact that I got it more than half off the retail price at TJ Maxx. Fragrance notes:  Candy apple, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla, Heliotrope, Anise flower, Amber, Orchid. Sun In Hair Lightener : I've seen this several times at different stores, but I finally got the guts to actually try it out. I'm actually really impressed! It definitely brought out some nice natural looking highlights. It wasn't harsh at all and the main ingredients are water, hydrogen peroxide, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, and lemon juice. It's heat activated...

Perfume pop quiz: Who created the celebrity fragrance model? (Cue the "Jeopardy" theme song.) Give up? Answer: Elizabeth Taylor in 1988 ( source ). Yup. Nowadays, literally everyone and their mother has their own perfume (or line of beauty products), and you can't pick up a magazine or drive down Sunset Blvd. without seeing a scantily clad starlet, spooning or straddling her life-size, eponymous fragrance. So the question is then, do all of these celeb perfumes stink or are some shockingly wearable? See the best and worst celebrity fragrances now. 

I was so excited to try out some of the Cream Perfume Company's products. I think it's such a great idea! Especially for people like me who completely miss when using spray perfume :) (oopsies.) You can apply some on to your fingers and put their wonderful scents where you want them. Another thing I like is that they're the perfect size to fit in any purse or handbag - which means you'll be able to smell awesome wherever you go.  Not only do the Cream Perfume Company's products smell amazing, but they're not harmful to you or the environment. Most perfumes contain harmful ingredients like ethanol, petroleum carriers and other undesirable fillers. Cream Perfume Company's products contain no sulfates, petro-chemicals, synthetic dyes, triclosan, GMO, PPG, MEA, DEA, TEA or formaldehyde donors. And their products are cruelty free !

Seriously, who doesn't love to smell good? I feel so confident when I know for a fact that I look sharp and smell amazing. That's why I was so excited when Bodycology gave me the opportunity to do a review on three of their products. I was sent the Deep Cleansing Body Wash with Grapefruit & Apricot Extract , White Gardenia Body Cream , and their Brown Sugar Vanilla Body Mist . I have fallen in love with all three! Bodycology is a wonderful company with a mission to give women great-smelling products made from the finest ingredients at great prices. Here's a little more information about their company: Founded in 2003, Dallas-based Advanced Beauty Systems, Inc. is one of the fastest-growing health and beauty companies in the U.S. The company’s innovative, spa-quality product lines appeal to women desiring beauty on a budget or an at-home escape.
