Onika by Nicki Minaj fragrance review

Nicki Minaj recently launched her third (main) fragrance, ONIKA and I actually think it's the celebrity fragrance to watch this Autumn/Winter, particularly around Christmas! 

On her new fragrance, Nicki Minaj said: “ONIKA is my birth name; I want to share this personal side with my fans, empowering them to wear the fragrance and flaunt their own uniqueness. Sexiness is powerful – it is about feeling confident, knowing who you are and loving it.”

Minajesty was supposed to be launched on Valentine's Day at The Perfume Shop but launched on Monday due to popular demand, and I wasn't surprised- Barbz in the UK have been waiting for this fragrance to land in the UK for months! 

Prior to Minajesty, Nicki Minaj fans had already seen three fragrances from her; Pink Friday, and two limited edition interpretations of Pink Friday.

In the words of Nicki Minaj, "MINAJESTY is my newest scent- it is sultry, captivating and powerful. There is a sexy power behind having self-confidence. I want this fragrance to invite my Barbz to celebrate their glamorous side, live in the moment, and be outrageous knowing that true power comes from within."

A 'White Christmas in New York' with Elizabeth Arden!

On Thursday evening, me and Jayna popped along to Elizabeth Arden's HQ to preview some of their Christmas launches at a 'White Christmas in New York' themed event which was so beautiful and Christmassy, and I'm really excited to show you what will be available in the next upcoming months!

Christmas gift sets will be available for Taylor Swift's fragrance (Taylor), Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday', Britney Spears' 'Midnight Fantasy', and Justin Bieber's 'The Key'. These gift sets also come with a personalised recorded ringtone from the celeb, which I think will definitely be a hit with teenagers.

Nicki Minaj will also be launching yet another reinterpretation of Pink Friday (called the 'Pink Friday Deluxe Edition) in time for the holiday season. With the upcoming edition being a floral musk with notes of starfruit, mandarin, boysenberry, lotus flower, jasmine petals, caramelized pear, musks and wood- captured in a golden 'Nicki Minaj' style body with black hair, it makes a great Christmas gift for Nicki Minaj fans. Pink Friday was one of the best-selling women's fragrance this year, which is brilliant for a celebrity fragrance. 

Special Edition Pink Friday fragrance by Nicki Minaj (RRP: £49 for 100ml- available from November 2013)

As a huge fan of every Britney Spears' fragrance that exists (I literally own every single one!), I was very excited to see that she'll be launching a special 10th Anniversary Edition of her bestselling 'Fantasy' fragrance with the iconic Britney bottle in Black with gold gems. I actually find it hard to believe that it's already been 10 years since the fragrance was first launched. It was one of my staple fragrances as a teenager and it will always be a personal fave. The anniversary bottle also has an inscription from Britney herself personally thanking her fans, so it makes the perfect addition to anyone's Britney Spears fragrance collection- especially mine!

Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj review!

I've been excited for Nicki Minaj's debut fragrance ever since it was announced that she was launching one. Her fragrance is called 'Pink Friday' and it launched into the UK in March and unsurprisingly, it's proved to be very successful.

The fragrance bottle for Pink Friday is incredibly unique and so cool- it's very Jean Paul Gaultier but with a more funky edge, characterising Nicki Minaj's bubbly, colourful personality and outgoing style in just one glimpse. She's launched a brilliant visual addition to the celebrity perfume market- I love the candy pink hair! Nicki posted a sneak preview image of the bottle before it's release on Twitter, and the bottle-design had her fans in a real craze of anticipation of what the fragrance would actually smell like. 

Nicki played a vital role in the creation of her fragrance: "I was involved in every aspect of the decision-making process- it seems easy because I always get this feeling inside: I know if something is right or wrong. Each detail needs to 'wow' me or it is not an option; that's my way of composing perfection."
