SWEET DARLING

Advantages: sweet smelling long lasting scent
Disadvantages: too cheap smelling if ou use too much

...Sweet Darling is a fragrance which was launched by Kylie Minogue in August 2007; following the success of her first perfume which was named Darling. As well as the Sweet Darling perfume you can also purchase the complimentary bath and body products such as the shower gel and shimmering body lotion which both have the same gorgeous sweet scent as the perfume. The complimentary bath and body products help to layer the scent of the perfume upon your skin therefore increasing the longevity of the scent. People who have dry or oily skin and find that the scent of perfumes don't really last on their skin may benefit from using the complimentary bath and body products before applying the perfume; as this would give the scent a base to layer itself upon therefore increasing the longevity of the scent. Everyone's skin types are different...

Wine Gums-The Most Popular Sweet On The Planet

Advantages: Great Taste!
Disadvantages: A bit sticky, Not That Chep

...I think we all know what Wine Gums are. If you don't know they are chewy sweet which come in all different flavours. They also come in different shapes and sizes. Maynard's Wine Gums have been around for ages and are a good quality and reliable sweet. Packaging + Cost: As far as I am aware you can buy Wine Gums in two different packets. Firstly there are the small tubes which are normally green with a picture of...you guessed it Wine Gums on the front. These packets cost around 40 pence. Secondly there are the big bags you can buy now. Which have the same sort of design as the tubes on the front. You get loads of sweets in these big bags and they normally cost around £1.20. (But loads of the time Woolworth's does Buy 1 Get One Free, Or 3 For Two etc). The Sweets: Now we get on to the important part the sweets themselves. As I...

Review of Maynards Wine Gums

Where's The Wine?

Advantages: Quite Tasty
Disadvantages: Covered In Sugar

...sweets since 1896 when they first introduced their Wine Gums and a few years later they launched their Fruit Pastilles. Wine Pastilles are a much more recent addition to range and were launched as recently as 2001 to compliment and combine the success of their two leading brands. Wine Pastilles still bear the Maynard name but these days the company is owned by Trebor Bassett which in turn is part of the Cadbury Schweppes empire, and they are marketed as a direct rival to Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles and Wine Gums. The Packaging They come in a bright green packet which is about six inches long. Since the sweets inside are round the packet is tubular in shape and there is the Maynards logo on the front in white writing with a crown above it. This logo is superimposed over the top of a rainbow style pattern which is in the various colours...

Review of Maynards Wine Pastilles

Sweet and cheap

Advantages: Great selection; loads to chose from
Disadvantages: none really

...thick pint icing - a bit like the 'Fab Bakin' boys cupcakes'. The sponge is really soft, light and fluffy though it doesn?t have any flavouring like vanilla which is a shame. However, the thick, sweet and gorgeously chewy icing made up for it. I love to simply take off the big icing topping and eat it by itself. It's a shame it didn't have any strawberry flavouring though. 12 mini toffee apple muffins - I usually love anything with apple, like apple pies and the lark but I wasn't overly impressed with these. The muffin itself was golden brown soft and sticky to touch but there wasn't much filling at all (about half a teaspoon) which was a let down and made the rest of the muffin a bit bland and dry. Perhaps warmed up with some custard would have been nicer. 24 mini jam doughnuts -These were my other fav so it's a good job there was...

Sweet Notes

Advantages: stays on all night, smells nice, not too pricey
Disadvantages: -

...I think by now from my reviews most people can pick up that I do love my perfume and it is one of my favourite things to review. When I got my loan in though I had to treat myself even though this is not what my student loan is for. I love getting perfumes but I do find them expensive which is why I don't get them often but it is coming up to Christmas so I thought I'd recommend my latest purchase because you never know it might end up on some other people's Christmas lists. So I actually found out about Kylie Minogue's 'Sweet Darling' from a sample which I received. I had been in my local Boots smelling all of the latest celebrity perfumes such as Christina Aguilera's and so on but the Kylie one was really nice and made me keep sniffing where I had sprayed all day. Kylie Minogue is of course an international singing sensation...

Review of Kylie Minogue Sweet Darling

As Sweet As Kylie herself..

Advantages: heavenly scent, stylish bottle
Disadvantages: possibly a bit pricey

...Last year for my birthday, I received a bottle of Kylie Minogue's first edition 'Darling' perfume. It had such a refreshing, glorious scent that I used it almost every day! Unfortunately, this resulted in it running out quite quickly, and I was left with an empty bottle - I was far from pleased! It was to my delight this Christmas when I opened up a present from my Dad, and revealed a brand new bottle of Miss Minogue's newer 'Sweet Darling'! Packaging The first thing I saw when I unwrapped my gift was, inevitably, the box it came in. As this was the point when I made my first impression, it was important that the box was appealing, to give me positive thoughts on the fragrance from stage one. The first thing I saw was the black top. This gave me no indication as to what I was unveiling. As I slowly peeled away the wrapping...

Fine Virgin Wines

Advantages: Great value boutique wines
Disadvantages: The on-line wine auctions are addictive!

...I have been buying from Virgin Wines for about three years and I have been consistently impressed with the quality and value for money of their wines. They have got a very good range of wines from all around the world, which vary in price from as little as £4 right up to £85 for a bottle of Dom Perignon 2000. I belong to their Wine Bank, which is effectively a loyalty programme. You pay £20 each month into the Wine Bank and every three months Virgin Wines will add another £20 in interest, so when you come to buy your wine you effectively get 25% off. You can pay more into your Wine Bank if you want to and you will be rewarded with a reciprocal amount of interest (i.e. £30 a month would attract £30 interest and so on). Because most of the wines they stock are generally small production 'boutique' wines, you cannot buy them anywhere...

Review of Virgin Wines

Simply Sweet Darling

Advantages: Beautiful Scent
Disadvantages: a celebrity perfume

...I really love perfume. It is the highlight of any Christmas being bought more, but it has to be said I have rather boring tastes. You almost get stuck in a rut with buying the same perfume year in year out. Initially for me that perfume was Dior Addict. Yes the scent was a bit heavy, but it was a long lasting flowery smell which I adored. However, I came to university and the opportunity to buy perfume became rather non-existent. Last Christmas my boyfriend, hearing my cry of lack of perfume, invested in Thierry Mugler Angel, which was another favourite of mine. The last bottle I had ran out last week, so off I went to buy more, but when I got to Boots the price shocked me. So, in a brave step I decided to broaden my perfume horizons and branch out into something else. My choice this time was Kylie Minogue 'Sweet Darling...

My A-Z of sweets!

Advantages: Yummy
Disadvantages: Big tummy

...With hundreds of these retro sweet stores online and yours truly in need of writing something that can't possibly offend anyone on ciao I have decided to list my A-Z of sweets for Halloween. With the increasing Americanization of this pagan holiday over here where you send your kids out to 'trick or treat', here are the sweets I would give them and some I would keep for myself. They can have the white wine gum, the Turkish Delight and the Cracknel from the Roses tin though without argument. A is for Acid Drops When you went around your nans on Sunday you would hear the rustle of sweets and out plonked these and the Pear Drops, the depressing world of boiled sweets. When ever I see them in the shops I think of Sunday nights, one bar on the fire and school the next day. B is for Bazooka Joe Its weird but when you chew gum...

Review of My 10 Favourite Sweets

So Sweet

Advantages: Lovely soft doll
Disadvantages: Pricey RRP

...My little girl is very much Yin and Yan, at 2 years old she's half WWE wrestler and half pretty princess mixing some of the most convincing headlocks I've seen with frilly dresses and pony tails. When she's not tom boy mode she's quite a fan of the Disney Princesses and being a Sleeping beauty fan myself I like to get her a nice mix of Aurora's (Sleeping Beauty's real name)and Belles (from beauty and the beast) as that's her nickname, although she does have quite a variety of other styles too. Earlier in 2008, when we were on our holiday, visiting relatives treated my little ones to a new toy each, Elsa chose a Soft & Sweet Sleeping Beauty doll so must have been in girly mode that day! Sleeping Beauty is designed to look like a child version of the character from the movie with softer more youthful features and proportions, her ballet...
