Bonprix Christmas Giveaway (24 Hours Only)

I feel as though I have been saying this in every post throughout december but I can't believe it's almost christmas, the month has just flown by! I have already hosted a couple of giveaways this month and I have another thanks to the lovely and generous people at Bon Prix.

The prize for todays giveaway is the gorgeous *Bon Prix Metal Link Watch (£29.99, Black) which I also have and I love the design. The watch features silver gemstones, a stretchy metal link strap and the numbers, hands and dial details are rose gold! Obviously as a blogger, I love everything rose gold and I also love the face design. As I have very tiny wrists, this watch is a bit too big for me but I think you would be able to take one/two of the links out.

Now onto the giveaway, to win this watch all you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below but you will have to be quick as I am going to end this giveaway at MIDNIGHT tonight (ignore the time on the Rafflecopter form)! The giveaway is UK only.

Viktor + Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume

If I'm going to splash out on a product then it's going to be perfume; I have a slight perfume...problem. I just can't say no to pretty perfumes in pretty bottles and around this time of the year, fragrance gift sets call my name and are eventually added to my perfume collection. One that I've wanted to try for so long is *Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb (£69, 50ml) and it has to win the prize for the most beautiful perfume bottle ever!

Top notes: Tea & Bergamot
Heart notes: Jasmine, Orchid, Freesia & Rose
Base notes: Patchouli 

I love all of the notes which is unusual for me as although there are a lot of fragrances that I love, there is usually a note or two that I don't like but this one ticks all of the boxes for me. The perfume starts as a gorgeous, musky floral and I know that sounds generic but it is far from it and it then develops into a beautiful concoction of deep rich patchouli and sweet and slightly powdery florals. It is a fragrance unlike anything else I have tried and it would be a perfect warming and rich but still feminine fragrance for winter; I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like this perfume. Some fragrances can contain a list of notes that is longer than your arm but this one with its relatively minuscule amount of notes, manages to be a complex and memorable fragrance. The longevity is also fantastic as it easily lasts all day on me. I think if I had to sum up the fragrance in three words, they would be: unusual, sexy and rich.

Overall, this is definitely one of the most unique and beautiful fragrances I've tried for quite a while and just look at the bottle *ok, I'm going to stop now*. The fragrance is available from House of Fraser and they currently have 10% off all of the Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb variations as well as two free samples if you purchase any Viktor and Rolf fragrance. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!

Christmas: Valley Mill Wax Melts + Soap

It's christmas next month *squeals* and I'm so excited, not just for presents but also the christmas markets, christmas food and cosy nights in with cheesy christmas films! I also love using christmas wax melts and candles at this time of the year so when I received these lovely products from Valley Mill, I was so excited!

I first had to try out the *Valley Mill Roast Chestnut Natural Soy Wax Melts (£6.25) which is a lovely set containing five wax melts. The wax melts are shaped into Valley Mill logo which is such a nice detail and the scent is just gorgeous - it is so earthy, christmasy and musky but still sweet. The scent isn't very artificial, in my opinion and when they melt they release the lovely scent which fills the so many rooms with the fragrance. The scent lasts for a while and the approx. melt time is 60 hours per box. Each melt works out at £1.25 which is cheaper than most so you're definitely getting more for your money. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

I also received the *Valley Mill Orange and Cinnamon Soap (£4, 100g) which is 100% natural and made of shea butter and coconut oil. The soap looks great and it smells amazing! To me it smells so christmasy as orange and cinnamon are both lovely christmas scents and they remind me of baking which is never a bad thing! The soap lathers really well, which I wasn't expecting for a natural soap and it leaves my hands squeaky clean, smooth and soft although it doesn't strip the skin. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

Overall, I'm so impressed with both products, especially the lovely wax melts and I cannot recommend these products enough! They are all natural and hand made in Wales - they would make fantastic presents or stocking fillers as they are fantastic quality, hand made and very reasonably priced. They have a wide range of fantastic products from candles, kitchenware, personalised gifts, welsh wool blankets and food and drink; here's my mini wish list:
