Signorina Eleganza by Salvatore Ferragamo

Salvatore Ferragamo is not a name of a brand I have ever come across and this is one of the things I love about blogging, the things it introduces you too and allows you to be a part of.

Elegance and femininity are two things which spring to mind when I look at Signorina Eleganza.  The bottle is very dainty and delicate not to mention beautiful to look at, everything from the writing on the bottle to the dusky pink ribbon, which gives it that extra feminine touch, makes me want to use it.

The fragrance hosts a lot of different ingredients which include:

Head notes - Grapefruit, pear

Heart notes - Almond powder and Osmanthus petals

Base notes - Patchouli and White Leather

All together they work to give the most beautiful floral and fruity scent which lingers on the skin.  Once on the skin, it lasts such a long time, it is one of those scents which leaves a trail behind it, whilst being subtle yet noticeable, this is one fragrance that I have come to absolutely love wearing and have had quite a few compliments about.

Launched this March, the bottle comes in three different sizes which are:

• 30 ml Eau de Parfum Spray £42 
• 50 ml Eau de Parfum Spray £60 
• 100 ml Eau de Parfum Spray £81

Delph Sun Care Products

We all know how important it is to ensure our skin is protected is the sunshine, particularly with this heat and yes we all want to have lovely golden skin that makes us look and feel healthy.

Delph have recently launched their sun care range which comes in these sleek squeezy 150ml tubes, making them perfect for popping into your handbag or beach bag without taking up too much space. The range claims to offer "no-compromise sun protection at a fraction of a designer range cost"

I was very kindly sent two of the products from the range.  The Delph SPF50 lotion which comes packaged in a bright yellow tube with an orange flip-top lid, making it really easy to recognise.  The lotion inside the tube is bright white in colour and is not only water resistant, it has not been tested on animals but is dermalogically tested.

One thing I dislike about conventional sun creams is the scent, I don't know what it is about them, but I just don't like it.  Now I know you should never judge a book by its cover (but I do) and when I saw the price of this cream, I was filled with dread, assuming it would have 'that smell'.  Surprisingly there was no horrible smell, in its place is a sort of lemony fragrance which lingers quite nicely on the skin.

Finding an aftersun which is soothing and again cools the skin is something I am always looking for and this Delph option is actually fantastic, especially if it comes from the fridge! Housed inside a clear see though tube with a blue flip top, you can see the green gel inside. Filled with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, this gel is so refreshing and lightweight it absorbs itself quickly into the skin, cooling as it goes.

Available from independent pharmacies you will find:

• SPF 15 Lotion 150ml £3.49
• SPF 30 Lotion 150ml £4.49
• SPF 50 Lotion 150ml £4.99
• After Sun Lotion 150ml £1.49
