Heathrow Airport

This is a DANGEROUS place! Even Terminal 3, that I flew from yesterday, has a vast array of absolute must-have's. so I walked out of there with assorted goodies. Let's dive straight into it, shall we?

--------

The Thierry Mugler "Angel" perfume is a classic, once discovered for me by my then-husband. I haven't used it for years, since I associated it with him - but I was scent-shopping and the Lancome Attraction that I was actually after had been pulled from stock. So instead I got me a bottle of Angel, along with a Deodorant Spray.

My thought's on Angel: A wonderful, WONDERFUL scent. Very rich and full, yet elegant. Definitely too heavy for the younger crew - be 25 or so before you give this a shot. There's a slightly lighter version, labeled "Angel Innocent", if you want a more subtle scent or, indeed, are under 25 :)

A small, 10 ml, but refillable bottle - with 2 x 10 ml refills included. £37.90. Bargain or rip-off?
£18.95 for the deo-spray feels a bit like overkill, now when I think about it =)

A dear friend of mine has a birthday coming up. I had seen this previously on the net and thought what a great gift it would be for him - but it wasn't until I was standing at the airport and they had it in stock that it was decided.

My thoughts on the champagne travel case: He's an ex-boyfriend but still-friend to me, and I thought this kit could be a great aid to his dating, don't you think? I think it's really stylish, and will keep the bottle safe in his boat.

Veuve Clicquot Travel Case - including a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses, £47 - definitely not a bargain :S

This was on a bargain-shelf but turned out to not be marked down after all, which didn't prevent me from buying it anyway *lol*. I fell for the Too Faced line a while back, after ordering various make-up from an online store. I bought an eye-shadow from them and was (and still am) AMAZED at how full of pigments and nice it is. So, I ended up ordering a whole line of products from their home page and am very happy with almost all of them.

So, when saw this I thought I'd give the whole idea of lip-plumpers one, final go. It never seems to work for me, no matter how many happy testimonials a products have.

My thoughts on Too Faced Lip Injection: I'll let you know when I tried it, but I have SOME hopes since many of their other products are great.

At £18,50 for the set it's cheap compared to retail, but value for money will depend on effect.

--------

I never saw myself doing this, being such a brandiac, but I bought a scent from Victoria's Secret. From the "Mood" series. It smells delicious! A little bit like the Angel perfume, but with more... sexyness.

Obviously, a new scent is always something of a lottery, since I don't know what it will smell like after some time on my skin, but I have high hopes for this one.

My thoughts on Victoria's Secret Mood: Lovely, and relatively cheap. I love the old-fashioned pump.

AT £22,90 for 75 ml it was worth taking a chance, at least I thought so.

--------

The final item(s) of my airport shopping was scented candles, also from Victoria's Secret, with the same smell as the perfume. It really IS a very sexy smell, and I think it may do wonders on my bedside table. If I ever have anyone to bring there, that is :S

Scented candles has been big for quite some time, as a sensuous part of seduction, but the closest I've come to it are cinnamon scented heat candles (you know, the small, round type) from IKEA. Hardly the sophisticated tool of seduction.

My thoughts on the scented candles: I hope I get the chance to use them beftore they run out of smell, but it does tickle my senses. And they smell LOVELY!

This one was a bargain think, with a 2 for 1 offer and a price of £13,90

And this concludes my Heathrow Shopping experience. Thank god I was only in T3. The huge shopping of T2 would have melted my credit card =)
