*REVIEW* He Loves Me-Eau de toilette

Hello everyone! And thank god that weather is clearing up! August started as a right washout. But now the sun is back and it's making me feel goooood! And just as I said that it starts to rain (I am seriously not even joking..perfect).. Anyway!

I was walking around in Penneys (Primark) in Dundrum earlier this week, with no intention of buying anything..But all know that one does simply not enter Penneys and doesn't buy anything. Try as we may, there is ALWAYS some super cheap, super cute thing that we just HAVE to have..And THIS was one of those moments.
As I was helping my 16 year old brother shop for anniversary gifts for his girlfriend (aw bless) I stumbled across this uber cute, mini bottle of perfume!

Look how girly and summery it is!

I am a sucker for daisies and I'm even more of a sucker for polka dots! And to make things better,this totally gorgeous roller perfume was only 2.50! 
And as for the scent? It smells like a fresh summers day, the quintessential 'cheap' perfume smell will initially hit you, but after you let this perfume linger. It does smell very girly and very fresh! 
Its perfect for popping into your handbag due to its tiny size. 
Surprisingly this perfumes staying power is brilliant! i was expecting it to stay an hour tops but the scent keeps on going for over 4 hours.. And for a cheap perfume that's amazing!

LIDL DESIGNER DUPE FRAGRANCE *REVEIW*

Yes dearies, you've heard correctly!
Lidl has released perfumes that smell EXACTLY like their designer dupe! **I will review BELOW**  I was completely and utterly shocked when I heard the news.I ran straight down to my nearest Lidl and purchased 'Suddenly, Madame Glamour' for only 3.99! what an absolute bargain!As I was talking to the cashier she mentioned how HUGE this scent has become and that 'they literally fly off the shelves, we cant keep up with demands' So I ran home to try it! 
On my next trip to Lidl I spotted a NEW perfume 'Suddenly Woman I' I heard completely nothing about, so i picked it up to try it! It seemed to have sold pretty quickly as they only got the order in that day and there were only 3 left! So I picked up one for me and one for my mam!
Christmas and Special occasions are where its at for Lidls newest perfume 'Suddenly Diamonds' I heard that this perfume had come out as a limited edition perfume at Christmas!I was devastated I didn't find out about it sooner as it wasn't in stock till NEXT Christmas!...Or so I thought.
As I was flicking through the Lidl's Mothers-day catalogue I spotted it! There it was! 'Suddenly Diamonds is back for a limited time only' That day I ran down to Lidl's to find a whole stand dedicated to the perfume, I was delighted! I picked myself up 2 bottles and my mam up two bottles (for mothers day) What I found was unbelievable 
REVIEW
SUDDENLY:MADAME GLAMOUR
I am literally gobsmacked by this classy,elegant beautiful scent! Its captivating! When I sprayed the first spritz on to my skin I knew instantly that I recognised the scent. And I was even MORE surprised! This perfume people, is an EXACT duplicate of COCO MADEMOISELLE BY CHANEL!
I nearly fell off my seat!! An exact dupe..for 3.99! The bottle even looks similar!And compared to 175.00Euro for the real deal its an ABSOLUTE bargain!I have had not only women ask what that perfume I'm wearing but also men! Its a very sexy and classy scent...a classic at 3.99 in your local Lidl.
SUDDENLY:WOMAN I
 Now this was the biggest surprise of them all!As I bought this scent on a whim and I hadn't heard much of it I wasn't expecting much, and my god was I wrong!! As I went home and used it, I nearly screamed in excitement..This is an EXACT dupe of my all time favourite perfume..Ladies this is a dupe of CHANEL NO.5!!! I must say I was NOT expecting that! Again! I can see similarities with the bottles!I went and grabbed my bottle of Chanel no.5 and spritzed it on my jacket arm on one side and Lidl's dupe on the other arm, I ran into my mam and asked her if she could smell any difference at all and she couldn't! I was only delighted with myself! I have been showing ALL my friends and family and they've all said the same thing! Chanel No.5 also retails at 175.00Euro.. and you cant beat a 3.99 duplicate!
SUDDENLY:DIAMONDS
Now this is the scent I have been DYING to get my hands on! I was unaware what it smelt like, but I had only heard good things! So when I walked into Lidl and seen a whole stall, I nearly died with excitement!
I grabbed a few bottles for myself and my mam as her mothers day present. When she sprayed it she came into me and said 'smell this amazingly happy scent' and i couldn't believe it, Lidl have done it AGAIN!!!
This is an EXACT dupe of 'Hugo Boss Orange'! Even the bottle is similar again! That summery,happy, feel good scent cannot be missed! 
Lidl have REALLY outdone themselves on these fragrances and I honestly couldn't be happier with them all!
The staying power lacks slightly, but you really cannot argue with a 3.99 duplicate!
