YSL Black Opium

Here is our review on YSL's latest perfume offering, Black Opium! Our older sister got us this perfume while she went on holiday last week and when she asked us both if we wanted any perfume from the airport, we immediately thought of Black Opium! This perfume was actually on my birthday wishlist but I couldn't resist getting it earlier! It's honestly one of my favourite perfumes already.

We've both been YSL perfume fans (Parisienne being our favourite!) and Black Opium does not disappoint! First off, the packing is gorgeous. The bottle is decorated with black glitter and sparkles, giving it a glam rock look. The fragrance has notes of coffee! Have you ever had a perfume with coffee in it before? Because I haven't! It doesn't smell like coffee at all though, haha! It's lovely and sweet and really feminine. I'm sure alot of people would find this perfume a little too sweet but it settles down after a few hours of wear. It also contains notes of vanilla and white florals. You should definately give this perfume a sniff - it's absolutely beautiful. Each day I wear it I fall in love with it even more.

Have you tried Black Opium? If so, do you love it too?

Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

YSL Black Opium perfume | Wearing Urban Decay ammo palette (yes, eyeshadows make me happy!) | Me & Leah taking pictures haha | Leah's Birthday shoes from Topshop | More nail art | Heidi cuddles | My ASOS shoes for my birthday!

Hey, everyone! We hope you all had a great week :) This week started with our older sister coming home from holiday. She gave me and Leah YSL's Black Opium perfume as a present and I can honestly say this is one of my favourite perfumes ever! We've got a review coming up later this week on it.

We've been shopping for our new birthday shoes and the minute we saw Leah's shoes in Topshop, she knew she had to have them and can you blame her?! They're gorgeous! My shoes are from ASOS and I think they're going to be great to wear during the summer.

We're both so excited for next Thursday (22nd January) because we're seeing Slipknot and Korn in concert. They're two of our all time favourite bands ever so if we don't blog from Friday onwards it means we've died from fangirling too hard, haha! 

So this week has included many cuddles from Heidi, new shoes, more nail art and me and Leah messing around taking pictures :) How has your week been?
Love Rachel & Leah, x
