Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj 50ml Gift Set

I was taken in by firstly how pretty the bottle is, I love unusual pieces and secondly the smell really was nice which took me back a bit as it’s a “celebrity fragrance” So much detail has gone into making this gift set its such a nice box that I haven't thrown it out, looking to repurpose it for something.

1) The perfume, it’s a bust of Nicki complete with an almost perfectly matched etching of her face, donning a corset type bodice. The lid is her hair, which I found to have no problems considering the size and awkwardness of it; it’s a bit chunky to hold as you spray so I’ve always placed the lid on the bed where it can’t wobble off. The spritz top is gold and is very easy to use, letting the perfect amount out to cover lightly, without drowning you in perfume. The fragrance is great, and doesn’t ebb out to a muteness keeping its intense lingering for a solid 6-8 hours then leaves nothing, so top ups if you’re going work then out afterwards will be needed, but who doesn’t top up then. On me the notes which was the strongest are a slightly berry, jasmine vanilla smell, not too girly at all the jasmine flower is my favourite flower and its really easy to pick up on, the vanilla created a musk that kept the fragrance going on for the length it does.

2) The body lotion comes in a matching pink with gold tone writing on it bottle as is on the gift set box, the lotion has a faint scent of the same berry/jasmine with vanilla, but once on the body it doesn’t last I noticed it fades to just a vanilla musk within a few hours, its great at layering as it means the perfume on top keeps its intensity longer. Found that the lotion was great for all over use and absorbed pretty quickly without leaving any tackiness or greasiness, a nice light lotion that is great all year round.

3) The shower gel, as the body lotion, it comes in a matching pink with gold tone writing on it bottle as is on the gift set box, it’s a clear gel type with a faint hint of yellow to it. The fragrance of the berry/jasmine and vanilla is strong and filled the whole shower with its scent, as soon as the shower was off and I was dried though there was nothing, a very light vanilla scent but nothing that impressive, but again great for layering up with the lotion and perfume so that the perfume is the long lasting star of the show.

I adore this perfume now and Nicki is forefront of my display table, definitely will buy the perfume again as its not unreasonably priced for a great quality perfume with such a cool presence, although I wouldn’t go out of my way to track down the body lotion and shower gel once I have run out of them.
