Thierry Mugler's Alien

Hey Beauties!
One of my favourite things about airports is the duty free. I LOVE testing make up and drooling over all the high end brands, but my absolute favourite thing is the perfume.Waltzing through, spritzing them here there and everywhere.
This brings me onto one of my all time favourite perfumes, Alien.

I'm not entirely sure when Thierry Mugler brought out this fragrance but all I can say is thank God he did.
I'm not great at describing perfumes, in fact I'm terrible. I know nothing about all the notes etc but I really am in love with this scent.

The first time I found it was when I got it as a free sample from a Sephora in France. It's just, oh I can't explain it but it's just really nice. It's not sweet and it's not fruity. I dunno, you'll have to smell it for yourself.
I've smelled quite a lot of perfumes and this is the one that I keep coming back to and always drown myself in whenever I'm in an airport, chemist etc.

Unfortunately I have never actually owned it and I'm really sad about it. It's great because it's a perfume rather than an eau de toilette which means you get to smell lovely for AGES!

If anyone knows where in Australia I can get it cheaper than $70 (which I think is what it retails at) please let me know. If I have to spend that much on it I will because it's worth it but I'd love to not have to :)

Any favourite perfumes that you recommend?

Bye Bye Shiny Face!


This was the first primer I bought and as far as primers go, I wouldn't say it's amazing. I've bought a few after it and they work much better.
The reason I'm writing this post is because it's amazing for getting rid of shine. I've got a shiny/oily nose and forehead and I hate it but if I apply this it completely mattes it and I'm no longer shiny! YAY!
So if you suffer from a shiny face, this is something you should try :)
It's quite a reasonable price too!
