Much Wanted Beauty Picks

I've been thinking about getting myself a new perfume for this new year.

What I really want to find is a fresh, floral or fruity scent that's not over sweet (that would give me 

& others headache) - those are the key features of my favorite kind of fragrances.

But I also want it to be something that I've never tried before, or even might be a bit "ballsy".

I've been circling around local department stores, sniffing bottle after bottle .. but couldn't decide 

which one I want the most. I've had Lady Gaga's perfume in mind, but there's also many other nice 

alternatives. So I headed to Fragrance Direct's online shop next, to do some price comparison 

(since I know they have really great prices!) and while browsing for fragrances I found some other

great, really inexpensive products that I've been needing for my cosmetic bag.
SO I'm ordering those beauty things first, and will make another sniffing-tour
(for YSL Babydoll and Halle Berry's perfume, since I found those online for a really great price
 but haven't ever tried them) and will make up my mind about those later. :)

* I've been shopping there before, you can see the post of my Essie -polish haul etc. here.

I'm writing the pound prices first, since that's the currency that the site uses. 

(I calculated the euro and dollar values at x-rates according to current rates, so they may vary.)

Fragrances

Note: I really recommend buying gift sets ! You'll get the fragrance you want 

but it might be even bigger sized, and a little extra too (like body creams or shower gels 

with a nice, more tender version of the same scent. And after Christmas is the best time to buy these.

(AND I know I wont get any of these this cheap at my local cosmetics departments!)
