Gwen Stefani: Harajuku Lovers Music, Eau de Toilette

Let me start off this review by letting you into a little secret. I hate, hate, hate celebrity perfumes in general! Sure I like Gwen Stefani but she wasn't the reason I looked at this product or the reason I purchased it. Basically I was in Boots talking to a shop assistant about Gucci actually and as we parted company she gave me a tester card with pull of strips of this new range of fragrances on it. Before getting the tester card I wasn't even aware of this new range or the fact that they were cute bottles or that they were Gwen's new offerings or anything. I fell in love with this particular fragrance on the bus and knew there and then that I'd own it one day! I did ...  Read the complete review

Harajuku is a Japanese fashion style and im a big fan! There's a district in Japan called the harajuku district and kids hang out there dressed up in various styles. There are different elements to it but all are a unique mode of expression in the form of make up, clothing, piercings, tattoos...

I spotted this perfume in a local chemist and as soon as I saw the bottle I knew that I had to have one of the Gwen Stefani Harajuku perfumes, the bottles were adorable. On a closer inspected I decided to try all five of the scents and Music was by far my favourite. The scent is a sweet blend of fruits which make the wearer smell like a luscious dessert.

The perfume bottle itself is beautiful, a perfect present for a girl aged between ten to fifteen. I personally love the bottle and I wish to collect all five as ...  Read the complete review

Another fragrance to the Harajuka lovers range comes music and its great. The bottle is another great quirky one featuring a girl wearing a cute sailor suit and a big bun-cute. Moving on to the fragrance its really quirky featuring scents such as pear,jasmine and honeysuckle. For me the scent made feel really joyful and happy its such a fresh scent that would be best for everyday use. THe fragrance comes in two sizes 10ml for around £12 and 30ml for around £18, so it would be worth it to get the 30ml. The only problem i found with this is that it faded quite fastly i was finding i had to reaply all the time, so i bought a 10ml one and kept it in my handbag so that when i ...  Read the complete review
