Product Review: Chloe Love Story Eau de Parfum

January 27, 2017 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , 28 Comments

For those who do not know I am a recovering perfume addict! I use to have at least 10 bottles of perfume at a time, but now I am happy with just 6ish. This Chloe Love Story Eau de Parfum was a gift I got myself just before new year. And yes I do buy myself gifts. Who doesn’t?

I love the Chloe brand. I have used the original Chloe perfume a few times. and I love the strong long-lasting scent. So when I spotted this gift set and took a sniff, I knew I had to have it.

Love Story by Chloe was launched in 2014. It is a very memorable fragrance with a lot of personality. I feel like I can take on the world whenever I have this perfume. Smelling good is good for business.

Here is the brief description –

Love Story’ is the expression of a free woman. Clare Waight Keller, Clémence Poesy, Mélanie Laurent, Inez Van Lamsweerde, Anne Flipo, each brought her vision to tell this new story. This parfum is a declaration of femininity and a proclamation of freedom.

 

  • Fragrance Family: Floral
  • Top Notes: Neroli, Cape gooseberry
  • Heart Notes: Orange blossom absolute, Stephanotis
  • Base Notes: Petitgrain, Cedarwood

Here are my thoughts –

 

PROS

  1. I love the chic packaging. Chloe’s perfume bottles are always so pretty.
  2. The perfume is very long-lasting. It stays on all day.
  3. I love the sexy floral scent a lot. It is fresh and strong, but not overpowering.
  4. The body lotion feels great on the skin, and smells as amazing as the perfume.

 

CONS

None.

This perfume is simply amazing, I can’t fault it. It is definitely worth trying. I think it is the best Chloe perfume so far.

Product Review: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette Gift Set

April 2, 2016 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 34 Comments

Daisy Marc Jacobs

I recently received this Marc Jacobs Eau de Toilette set as a gift some months ago, and I have used quite a bit of it already. This is not my first time using this Daisy perfume. I have used this and the eau de parfum version many times now, and I must confess, I am a huge fan.

This sunny, pure and free-spirited fragrance was launched in 2007, and it has been around ever since. Here is what Marc Jacobs has to say about this fragrance:

Radiant and enchanting, Daisy is a sparkling floral bouquet – spirited and fresh, wrapped in comfort and warmth. At the heart of Daisy is a floral with vintage edge: Violet. Sophisticated with a touch of whimsy, Violet captures the eclectic, vintage flavour of Marc Jacobs’ feminine, edgy designs. The bottle design features a luxurious block of weighted, clear glass-topped with a playful scattering of daisies that appear to bloom from the rounded gold cap.

Here are my thoughts on this fragrance:

PROS

  1. I love the bottle. It stands out on my dressing table, with the two foam daisies on the lid.
  2. I love the fresh, feminine fragrance. It smells amazing.
  3. It is long-lasting but not as long-lasting as the eau de parfum version.
  4. It is fab for the spring/summer months.
  5. It is a ‘safe’ floral fragrance. Many people love this fragrance.
  6. I got the gift set which came with a 50ml perfume, a shower gel and a body lotion, all for £54.00, which is usually the cost of the perfume alone.

CONS
  1. It is quite pricey for the perfume alone at £54, but then again, most good perfumes fall within that price range.

I recommend the Daisy Marc Jacobs Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum to any woman looking for the perfect spring/summer fragrance. Look no further.

The Yin & Yang Of My Personal Style (Winter Series) Part 2

December 19, 2014 By in Fashion, Style Tags: , , , , , , , 5 Comments

Here is the continuation of the yin and yang of my personal style post. Did you read the previous post? If not catch up here.

  • The Pencil Skirt

A pencil skirt is a powerful fashion piece. There is something so feminine and sophisticated about it. I have never really been a “skirt girl”, I can count the number of skirts I have in one palm, but I have taken to some super stylish pieces this winter season because it is all about showing off the tights and legs.

My favourite pencil skirt at the moment has to be this navy ribbed pencil skirt by Glamorous. I love when the hemlines falls just below the knee, it keeps the look stylish and flattering. I love wearing my skirts with heels, but thigh high boots and knee-length boots will create an illusion of long legs when paired with black opaque tights.

  • Perfume

According to Coco Chanel, a woman who does not wear perfume, has no future and I kind of agree with her. I am a perfume lover, always have and always will be. This season, I will be going for stronger, sexier fragrances like Giorgio Armani’s SI and Chanel No 5, I love the distinct, strong smell of both perfumes.

  • The Red Lipstick

A red lipstick is like a little black dress. It is a necessity, especially for the winter season. It will wake up your entire look. Every woman needs a killer red lipstick in her makeup bag. One shade doesn’t fit all so you need to hit the cosmetic counters and find the right shade for you. My winter favourites are MAC Ruby Woo and MAC Russian Red. I love the matte texture and the finish look.

  • The Statement Necklace

This beautiful statement necklace has just been added to my jewellery collection and it will be part of my personal style this winter. This accessory will be taking center stage and you will be seeing more of it.
