Gwen Stefani: Harajuku Lovers Lil' Angel, Eau de Toilette

This is a review of Lil' Angel perfume from Gwen Stefani's 2008 Harajuku lovers range. I must admit, I felt a bit like this was a perfume range for little girls due to the packaging of it but at the same time, it is totally adorable. I spent ages trying to decide which was my favourite before taking the plunge for the yellow one called Lil' Angel. I got the 10ml bottle (it is tiny) and paid approximately £14 for it at Superdrug. The main part of the bottle is a plastic doll which forms the lid. You pull this off to reveal the spray. I think it smells gorgeous, with hints of of raspberry, cranberry, black currant, and pineapple. ...  Read the complete review

I've never been overly girly, but just recently I've had the urge to invest in a perfume, not really because I'm bothered about catching anyone's attention in particular, but mainly for my own little burst of self esteem when I start the day. So I wasn't really shopping for perfume when I came across this in my local Debenhams, and it immediately caught my eye. The bottle comes with a cute little doll as the lid, depending on the perfume you get you get a different character. The boxes themselves are beautiful, glossy black w ith oriental patterning and stark yellow text, the accent colour for the 'lil' angel' character, a theme carried out in the dolls ...  Read the complete review

I adore anything to do with the Japanese Harajuku style, so of course I couldn't wait to buy all five of these Gwen Stefani fragrances when they came out in Spring. I bought them in Superdrug, they had a display by the cash register with sample bottles to try and I should have tried before I bought. I was so smitten with the look of the bottles I wasn't even really thinking about the perfumes! They cost £19.99 each, but you can buy smaller cheaper versions now too. When I bought mine, they were also giving away free charm bracelets with every purchase. This is just a metal chain bracelet with the heads of each Harajuku Lovers character attached. Its cute but ...  Read the complete review

Harajuka lovers adds lil angel to its range. The bottle features the signature doll motif, this one has a schoolgirl look with a yellow ribbon through her hair-cute. The fragrance is really fruity with a touch of floral to it, scents include juciy rasberry, lush pear blossom and warm hinoki woods. For me this perfume has a sweetness to it so sweet you could say flirty. Also the combination of scents is great and out of the harajuka range i have to say lil angel is my favourite. The fragrance comes in two sizes in most stores 10ml for £12 and 30ml for £18, i would say the range is quite new and so most smaller stores wont stock it but big retail chains such as boots ...  Read the complete review

I bought this yesterday and it smelt so gorgeous. I purchased it from boots at a reasonabe price of £12.93 for 10ml which is not very much, almost sample size, but it smells delicious. There are five in the collection and they have dolls on the top which are Gwen Stefani's chinese backing dancers. The perfumes all smell different, but I preferred this one out of all of them. For 30ml it costs around £19.99 at boots and for 100ml around £122.98 at boots. I think these are very good for gifts and they are so beautifully presented in their little boxes. They are relatively new in shops but already are very popular in the larger stores. If you want to smell sweet without the ...  Read the complete review
