WIMH | Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil

Hi girls, sorry it's been a while since I posted, again I've been super busy with coursework deadlines which are driving me nuts! But I'm back and have a review for you all on an amazing product I tried out today.

I received a parcel today from WIMH.com, for all you people who don't know what this website is it stands for WHATS IN MY HANDBAG, and basically you sign up and you can store items you want in your online beauty cabinet and also select products you have tried and you can write a review on them. Around every 6 weeks they do a TRY product in which they will inform you about via email and also will be advertised on their website. To be eligible to apply you must take a quick questionaire, sometimes they don't do questionnaires; normally there are around three questions such as 'have your tried this product before?' Etc, then you give in your address and when the deadline to enter is up they will send a product to a certain amount of people, sometimes you won't get the product but I have had 4 products in a year so I can't complain. You need to be patient you WILL get a product to try, plus they give out multiple products instead of just choosing one person. If you are chosen to receive a product in return you will do a short review on their website saying your true opinion. It's as simple as that! Then you get to keep the product and the best part is that it's free!!!!! 

So this is the product I received and it's the best one yet! I have been dying to try an Essie product out for so long and when this came in the post I was thrilled. 

                                       

                              

                         

                     

I recieved the Apricot Cuticle Oil from Essie. This stuff is amazing! It smells so good and makes your cuticles look so smooth and neat, this stuff actually works, I have tried products in the past which have sucked but I would deffinatly recommend this to anyone looking for a decent cuticle oil. The good this about this oil is that a small drop goes a long way meaning you will get a lot of use of out of it! As for the packaging it is super cute and simple! I would totally give this product a massive 10/10 so go and try it and also sign up to What's In My Handbag for incredible trials! 

 As the Essie website is in dollars I found this on Feelunique.com for £8.50 which is reasonable and not as expensive as I thought. I will definatly be purchasing this again when I run out of it. Very happy girl :)

   What's In My Handbag Review

                     

I applied to receive a sample of the new perfume by Valentino called 'Valentina ACQUA FLOREALE'. I got an email to say that I will be taking part in the trial. 

What is 'What's In My Handbag'?

What's in my handbag is a website where you create an account and you can apply for trials which can occurs every week or sometimes month. The deal is if you receive a trial product you get it for free and in return you write a review on the website saying if you liked the product or not. Trial products can vary from full sized products to samples or sachets. I would defiantly recommend this website to anyone who loves reviewing beauty products. You can also add products you want to you 'beauty cabinet' and also add products you have tried which you can then go onto reviewing if you wish. 

Check out the website it's a great website and super easy to get the hang of: whatsinmyhandbag.com

So what do I think of this product? 

This perfume came in a 1.5 ml sample tube. The Valentina perfume is very floral but smells nice, the reason I only say nice is because this smell is not one I would go for and I would deffinatly not buy this perfume as a full sized bottle. The smell is floral but not to strong, I am not a big fan of floral perfume I go more for the fruity smells. However I am very impressed with the bottle design which I don't own because I only got a tube sample but by seeing the bottle online it is beautifully made and the flowers are so elegant. 

What notes are in the perfume?

The radiant freshness of Calabrian bergamot caressed with a breeze of delicate neroli.

The pure splendour of white flowers brightened by a spontaneous touch of sparkling mimosa.

The tender sensuality of patchouli wrapped in golden amber. 

  

Altogether I would give this perfume a 7/10 for smell and 10/10 for bottle design.
