Katy Perry - Meow! gift set:  $28.99 @ London Drugs (RSP:  $49.99 - $65+)

The set includes the following:

-100  ml eau de parfum spray
-10 ml eau de parfum roll on
-120 ml shimmering body lotion
-120 ml shower gel

I really don't know why I bought this.  I was just browsing online and saw this gift set...I thought it was a great price, considering the perfume alone retails for $65!  I've even seen people pay $80 plus shipping for this set on eBay!

I never thought I'd buy a celebrity perfume, but I actually smelled her other one and really liked it.  I can't remember if I smelled this one or not.  If so, I didn't think much of it.

Well....I really loved the bottle!  And I thought I might like the scent (since I read online that this dries similar to her other one), so I decided to buy the set in case I liked it.

Plus...it was sold out at my nearest store, and the other one only had one in stock!  I didn't know how long the sale would last, so I decided to go out and buy it right away.  It was on my mind for the last few days, so I just had to go!

This is what it looks like from the outside:


On the inside:


I saw the 30 ml versions for $20 each at Shoppers drug mart, but didn't think it was worth it (that's how much my Lempicka's cost!).

This one was $9 more for 70 more ml, plus all of those extras!  That one seemed worth it.  Moreover, I didn't have to pay anything since I had some gift cards (thanks Mom!).

I'm going to see if I can test the fragrance at another store, I still might end up returning this.  Too bad Purr wasn't on sale, I really like that one!

I read that some people in the US were finding this size perfume for $20, some as low as $10!  I would have preferred to pay that much, but I doubted it would ever go that low here.

Well, I'll be kicking myself if it does!  Who knows what will happen after Christmas!  Paying $20 less and foregoing the extras would be a no-brainer.
