Demeter, You Really Crack Me Up

Okay, okay, I know that weird Demeter fragrances have probably been talked to death on blogs now, but do humour me. I can’t help it; I find the types of scents they have so absurd that I just had to show you some of the funny ones I stumbled across.

Demeter in Cannabis Flower, Earthworm and Funeral Home

I don’t get it. Why would one want to smell like a funeral home?!

Demeter Fragrance in Fresh Ginger, Fiery Curry and Laundromat

Mmm a laundromat would be nice. Crisp linen and all that. As for Fiery Curry, I suppose an Indian takeaway would be a cheaper option. Plus you get poppadoms.

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger: Emma @ Emma Bovary Beauty

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger is a series of posts where I’ll be showcasing some of my favourite bloggers. These are the bloggers whom I admire and inspire me.

Enjoy!

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger: Emma @ Emma Bovary Beauty

My style icon: I’d have to say Nicole Richie is my style icon, she always looks great but also takes risks with hair and makeup, which is something I love to see in a celebrity. Her recent Golden Globes powder blue look was amazing!

Dream holiday destination: Without a doubt, my dream holiday destination is Paris. Though I’ve been before, it only served to make me crave the city even more. I find the ambiance and style there is just superb, and I am looking forward to heading there for my honeymoon in two years’ time.

One random thing you can find in my bag: There isn’t anything very random in there, but I always have mascara and pressed powder in there in case I end up staying out all night, and need to look moderately presentable in the morning.

My favourite item of makeup: I find it really hard to decide whether or not I love blush or eyeshadow more, but I think blushes are pretty to look at in the pan so I will go with them! My favourite blush brands are Chanel, Covergirl, Illamasqua and YSL crème blushes.

You will never see me without: Mascara and blush on, and a big bag full of my everyday necessities! I am a bag lady in every way, and am in no way a minimalist.

I’m absolutely addicted to: Watching YouTube! My favourite channels include Vivanna Does Makeup, Amarixe, Fleur de Force and Miss Glamorazzi, and I waste hours upon hours watching their beauty videos and personal vlogs.

One thing on my bucket list: Writing a novel is definitely something I’d like to achieve, whether it is published or not doesn’t faze me, the actual act itself would be worth it. Having a library at home is also something high up on my bucket list!

A Rose by Any Other Name Would Smell as Sweet as Anna Sui’s Rose Cheek Color in #301

Happy Valentine’s Day, folks!

I hope you’re spending the day with your loved ones (significant other, family, friends, etc). If you’re spending the day by yourself, go ahead and treat yourself to something nice. After all, you love yourself, don’t you? 🙂

It’s just another day in the Beautyholics Anonymous household. Tim and I are highly unromantic people whose idea of a great evening together is sprawling on the couch, watching our favourite TV shows.
