Aura Perfume by NEXT

 

Next have always made quality perfumes that are beautiful and affordable for everyday use. I have always had compliments when wearing their scents. They make me feel confident and beautiful. I am so passionate about their perfume range that I want to show others this stunning Aura range. 

I always like to smell nice even if I'm at home and not seeing anyone. I wondered what perfume I should get to replace an old one that was expensive. I looked around for ages and then discovered this Aura range from Next. At the time of purchasing they had a couple of items in the range. I decided to choose the small giftset so I could try it and see how the scent was. I loved the description. I like perfume to last all day but nothing overpowering. I saw a small 30ml perfume set which was perfect to sample it. Like most beauty products the smaller sizes are the best way to start to trial them. This is uplifting and I'm addicted.- by Collette. 

 THE SCENT : Aura perfume is an attractive blend of White flowers, Vanilla and Cassis. It is blended with musk and white amber.  

                               Aura perfume set 30ml perfume, 50ml body lotion and lipbalm £12.00

This Aura perfume set was a wonderful thing to discover. The only trepidation I had was how strong the musk was. I had an unfortunate incident with a white musk fragrance in my teenage years and the scent makes me feel sick if the musk is too overpowering.  Thankfully they blended the scent to perfection.

  This Aura lipbalm uses coconut oil and it glides onto the lips leaving them instantly hydrated. I am hoping they release this as an individual product to buy as it's so good! It is better than the standard lip balms I buy in packets from beauty stores. It's that luscious to give you a perfect pout and kissable lips.

                              

This Aura perfume bottle 30ml smells incredible. This is a perfect size to sample the range. This Aura perfume bottle looks stunning in my vanity table when the light hits it. It illuminates making a stunning bottle that looks almost celestial.

        

  The Aura shimmer body lotion in the set was a pleasant surprise. This body lotion I wasn't keen on using as I'm in my forties and not wanting to look like a fairy. Next made this with a subtle shimmer to make the body look healthy and skin look glowing.

Once I continued to use this set above, I wanted to purchase more. I was overwhelmed at how beautiful this range was and the new products they had to go with this perfume. Below is the range of products available to layer the scent. 

        

                         

      Aura hand cream 100ml £4.00. This hand cream absorbs into the skin perfectly and rids me of the dry hands from hand sanitiser, This has the beautiful scent, like the perfume, so my hands smell gorgeous of white flowers, creamy vanilla, cassis and amber. Its so nice to have hydrated soft hands that smell lovely.

               

       Aura 100ml bottle of perfume retails at £14.00. As you can see from the above photograph, I'm halfway down the bottle. Its beautiful. Even when I'm in my jeans and a sweater with hair tied up this makes me feel so happy to wear, it's almost a hug in a bottle. 

                               

   I was overjoyed to discover Next launched shower gel to match the perfume. they sell these in packs of two 400ml bottles for £12.00. These are beautiful after a workout and refreshes the skin beautifully. The scent is so heavenly to wash with and lifts my mood even when I'm tired first thing in the morning. It's a perfect scent to welcome in a new day. I'd be lost without this duo. I have to stipulate that my skin feels so soft after using this in the shower. This subtle gorgeous shimmer is beautiful making the skin glow.

                                

                            

     Aura body spray is sold in a pack of two 145ml bottles for £8.00. I was grateful they did this as I was using my perfume on my clothes. This is great to refresh the body anytime of the day. The scent is light but long lasting. The bottle looks lovely on my vanity table with the rest of the range.

                              

                                

Aura Shimmer Body Lotion body cream came in a gift set with the 100ml perfume and costs £14.00

The cream is so rich and has a slight shimmer which doesn't look embarrassing on someone my age. It is rich and hydrating, leaving a smooth skin finish.

Aura body butter is a lot thicker than the body cream. This retails at £8.00 for 300ml.

This is the thickest body butter I have ever tried. The butter is so rich and creamy and I had to push down on the body butter to collect some to put on. Its incredibly rich that after one application I didn't need to reapply any that night.

I hope you enjoyed this post about my journey with this Next Aura perfume collection. It takes a lot for me to find a perfume that makes me feel happy, beautiful and confident. Aura has brightened my year up . Even its beautiful iridescent bottle looks beautiful in the bathroom or my bedroom. When the light hits it, it brings me joy. Worth trying this is you to want to treat yourself but don't want to spend lots of money on something that doesn't last as long. I look forward to layering this scent every day. The hint of jasmine is stunning. I'm excited to see what else Next produce in fragrance. Thank you, Next!
