Advantages: Cheap, light, youthful, nice bottle.

Disadvantages: The scent doesn't cling for long, the shower gel is dissapointing

Perfume is something I rarely buy myself, usually recieving as a gift. This past Christmas, santa didn't bring any. I did have a £10 giftcard for boots, so off I went to see what I could get for my measley sum.

Kelly Brook's Vivacious perfume was selling in a gift set for just £9.98, and compromised 30 ml Eau De Toilette, 100 ml body lotion and 100 ml shower gel. I'm not a fan of the lady herself, but the price and the basic but reasonably classy gold packaging prompted me to give it a try.

Surprisingly I liked it. Ok, immediate smell after spraying was a bit chemically / Alcoholly, it soon settled down to have a nice berry scent. I bought it, and took it home to try out the other products.

The shower gel has virtually no scent at all, and is very thin. It gave a poor lather and I used at least a third in one shower alone.

The body lotion fared much better. It was a reasonable enough consistency and was absorbed easily by my skin. It was lightly fragranced, which is just right for a body lotion as any stronger would be far too overpowering. I don't think it's moisturising effects are great, if any at all, but as an occassional accompaniant to the perfume, it's fine.

The perfume, now using and not just testing, still retained the lovely berry scent when applied to the skin. It's light and quite youthful. The downside being it's not long lasting and after a couple of hours I couldn't even smell it.

Overall, for the price I paid, I think this is an ok perfume. It didn't last very long, so if you want a perfume for everyday wear, I wouldn't reccomend this. However for once in a while use, I would say it's nice and a good price. I'd probably buy this for a younger teen as a gift.

Summary: For a cheap spritz in between gifts, I was reasonably happy!
