The lovely Homeland star – Claire Danes, is the cover girl for Harper’s Bazaar February 2017, and she looks stunning on both covers.

I am a huge Homeland fan. It is an adrenalin pumping series, and it keeps me at the edge of my seat all through, almost like 24. It is currently one of my favourite series. I have binged watched all the seasons on Netflix as soon as I discovered it. So I am happy to see season 6 is out. I can’t wait to watch that.

This Harper’s Bazaar cover is beautiful as usual. Claire Danes looks amazing on it. I love her hair and makeup (the red lippie always wins), and the outfit looks good too. I would love to read this issue. The interview sounds like a fab read.

Here are some excerpts from Danes’ interview with Harper’s Bazaar:

 

On Donald Trump and BREXIT

“I do think that England and America are so closely affiliated that it’s not terribly surprising there’s this parallel phenomenon occurring between our two countries,” Danes says. “The Brexit and Trump phenomena are informed by similar forces and social and economic movements. I think it’s been really stressful; it’s been really scary. I think we’re in a fever state and we’re all really anxious about how we’ve gotten here and why we’ve gotten here.”

Yes it is a very stressful time for many.

On her Carrie Mathison Character

“You know, I don’t think of her as female,” says Danes. “I’m playing a person. I’m playing a person. She’s just not defined at all by her sex. She is defined by her ideals, by her patriotism, by her commitment to righting wrongs, by her relationship to her mental condition [but] it’s just really beyond the more conventional stereotypes about what it is to be a woman in this world.”

I love Carrie Mathison! She is not a typical heroine, and that is what I love most about her.

What do you think of these covers? Are you a fan of Homeland?

Product Review: Chloe Love Story Eau de Parfum

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.

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.
