Rihanna Reb'l Fleur & Rebelle Perfume Review

Helloooo....

 I decided to make this post a 2 in 1 review just to make it easier for all of you

Whilst searching on Ebay, I came across a company called 'Boutique Zone' selling 100ml Tester EDP Rihanna fragrances bottles unboxed, without lids including a free minature sample for for over 50% cheaper than major retailers at a bargain price of £14.95.

I have always been a fan of Rihanna (Even met her twice in '07 & '10), her style and her music since the beginning of her career and I love the fact that she keeps its fresh by changing/reinventing herself with every new album! 

Since the launch of her perfumes, I have always got each new one every year. I'm now waiting patiently to test out Nude when it arrives in the UK! 

Rihanna's perfumes are distinct and widely known due to the sleek glass bottle which is combined with a twisted matte coloured ribbon , designed in the shape of a stiletto due to Rihannas fondness for them. 

Reb'l Fleur

Reb'l Fleur was the debut fragrance in her perfume empire which was launched in late 2011 and the name was inspired by Rihanna's gran who nicknamed her 'Rebel flower' .

As show in the title, it does contain floral notes of Hawaiian Hibiscus Flower, Poinciana, Violet, Tuberose with a fruity blend of heart and tops notes of Coconut, Red Berries, Purple Plum, Peach and a vanilla base.

In terms of scent it is described as fruity chypre and is perfect if you're into sweet floral smells.  The scent encapsulates my ideal romantic holiday that encomprises of a Sunset walk on a  Hawaiian beach in a sexy maxi-dress . I love that it contains my favourite scents: Vanilla, Peach & Coconut!

I personally think that this perfume is great for using at night but also in the day at work/uni if you want to feel empowered , memorable or sexy .

Rebelle

 

Rebelle is the second edition of her debut fragrance and was launched in April 2012. 

I was introduced to this perfume by my boyfriend, who brought it as a 20th Birthday gift on a whim because he knew I wore Reb'l Fleur . I am so glad he purchased this perfume as I have fallen in love with Rihanna's fragrance again. 

As you can identify from the title of this fragrance, it captures rihannas fierceness with the daring red matte ribbon and makes reference to her signature red hair colour. 

It was inspired to encapsulate the warmth of the Caribbean sun including her present day life. 

This is shown by the scent which features heart notes of heliotrope, vanilla orchid,cocoa absolute , top notes of plum, strawberry and fiery ginger on a base of musk, coffee, amber and patchouli to undercover a floral fruity scent.

Rebelle will leave you feeling lively, bold, and full of spirit (cheeky), basically the definition of sassy.

Summary:

Price:  You can purchase a 100ml EDP for around £36.50 both online & in store from major retailers such as House of Fraser, Perfume shop etc 

Longevity: This perfume is very strong and lasts for over 5 hours due to it being Eau de Parfum - which is a great , because I adore the scent! 

 

Scent: If you love Britney Spears Fantasy - but you want a more mature, sweet but sexy version, then these are the perfumes for you! 

Packaging: I think the packaging is sleek.  I like how the lid looks very expensive including the changing matte ribbon per new scent.The bottle stands out compared to my other perfumes! 

Repurchase: yes, Yes, YES! Since being at university I have brought 2 Reb'l Fleurs and a Rebelle, these perfumes do not last long the way I spray them like bodyspray but for £14.50 each , I don't mind splashing the cash!

 

What's your favourite perfume?

Peace, Love & Besos

 

YOTO - Your Only Twenty Once!!!!!!

Guess what Belles, Its my 20th Birthday Todayyyyy!!!!!! *Woohoo, finally out of the teens*

Anyway this year, I was forced to celebrate my birthday before the actual day due to it being exam season and all. The following is what I got up to over the weekend....

NOTE : Picture Heavy Post!!!!

Friday 4th May

I went clubbing with my friend in Birmingham at the HMV Institute forWestwoods party which was so fun as it had good vibes and music was on point .Unfortunately I don't have the picture of us which was taken as not sure who took it :(

Saturday 5th May

My friend took me out to dinner to a Chinese buffet styled resturant called Ming Moon which was super cool especially as they had slush drinks *Yum* , afterwards he took me to the cinema to watch 'Safe' which in my opinion is an ok movie; I'd give it 5/10. Again I totally forgot to snap pics #Oops

Sunday 6th May

Sadly I had to leave Birmingham after I was having so much fun but I was happy because I got to come home and see my family. My mum took me out for my birthday dinner at Red Hot World Food Buffet & Bar which is a buffet resturant , that has food from all over the world (Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Caribbean and English). I wore my Primark Striped Skater Dress, with my black H & M Cropped blazer and Jeffery Campbell inspired colourblock Foxy Heels by Miso
We had so much fun plus I remembered to take a few pictures this time!

Tuesday 8th May (ACTUAL BIRTHDAY)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

Today I am going to just chill. I got spoilt so much this year by everyone, I can't believe it because I did not expect it!

My friend spoilt me alot for my birthday especially as he already paid for everything when I was staying in Birmingham over the couple of days . He brought me the following:

Rihanna's new parfum 'Rebelle' 

 

He is so cute because he knew my 100ml Reb'l Fleur parfum was running out as I kept saying it constantly and knows how much I adore her perfumes.

A faux leather multicoloured striped bowling bag

A cute charm bracelet and some earrings.

His sister got me a box full of La Senza goodies.

My sister surprised me with a LYDC bag and matching purse

Look how sleek it is, I love the cream colour with the rose gold plated clasps, it looks so swanky/posh , cannot wait to accessorise it with an outfit.

Finally,  I got money from my parents because I didn't know what specific present I wanted & my favourite cupcakes.

 Fiona Cairn cupcakes *Yum* :)

Guess it is back to revision *Sigh*

Peace, Love & Besos
