Hey perfume lovers! Another perfume review for your reading pleasure. I know it can be tricky sometimes when it comes to shopping for fragrances. Sometimes, trying them in the stores doesn’t just to cut it. So perfume reviews do come in handy, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy writing them. Today’s perfume review is all about the amazing Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum.

I have been using this lovely scent by Christian Dior for many months, and I like it! It has a lovely, intense floral scent and it is really good.

I think Dior perfumes smell amazing and are ever so long-lasting, and this lovely bottle right here did not disappoint. It is such a sweet feminine scent.

Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum Description

All the gold of J’adore in an essential, pure concentrate. For L’Or de J’adore, Director of Dior Fragrance Creation – Francis Kurkdjian showcases the beauty of the J’adore flowers by heightening their nuances and accentuating their colors.

A full and voluptuous perfume essence that creates a dialogue between notes of orange blossom, jasmine grandiflorum and centifolia rose absolutes. Blossoming in their full glory in a floral quintessence that is both powerful and sensual, these flowers are the true gold of J’adore.

Full of roundness and curves, the iconic J’adore necklace has been restyled to reflect the warmth of the scent, transforming into an organic and precious metal that undulates and hugs the glass of the L’Or de J’adore bottle.

PROS
  • I love the intense floral scent. It smells divine.
  • This fragrance is so long-lasting. It stayed on all day and I didn’t have to respray.
  • The bottle is so pretty. It looks amazing in my perfume collection.
  • I love the fact that the fragrance is not overpowering. It’s a great daytime fragrance and it works great especially in the spring and summer months.
CONS
  • None. I adore Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum.

Overall, I rate this fragrance 8/10. It is definitely a fragrance I have enjoyed and I am still enjoying. If you are after a new scent to test out, I highly recommend Christian Dior perfume  and I am yet to meet anyone online or offline who doesn’t love this fragrance.

Over 30s skincare tips – Why we should exfoliate

July 18, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Exfoliating the skin regularly helps it stay soft, smooth, and supple. The benefits of exfoliating, which removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface cannot be overemphasized, especially for the over 30s woman. If exfoliating is not part of your weekly skincare routine, and you are wondering what the fuss is, keep reading…

Over 30s skincare tips – Why we should exfoliate

The skin is supposed to naturally shed dead skin cells every 30 days, but sometimes this natural shedding process doesn’t happen as it should. Which is where exfoliating skincare products come in. Here are some of the main skincare benefits of regular skin exfoliation –

  • Brighter and youthful skin

Exfoliating your skin at least once a week would greatly improve its appearance as the process would increase blood circulation and remove dead skin. Most times, if you use an effective exfoliating skin product, your skin will look brighter and smoother immediately.

  • Fewer breakouts

If you are struggling with breakouts, you may need to exfoliate some more for smoother skin, Exfoliating the skin regularly prevents clogged pores, which leads to fewer breakouts and smoother skin.

  • Absorption of skincare products

Sometimes, the skin does not absorb the skincare products properly, or if it does, it takes a long time to sink in. One way to get around this is to exfoliate regularly as this helps the skin absorb skin products better and then the benefits of the skincare products are really visible, due to a more rejuvenated appearance.

  • Fades age spots and pigmentations

The weekly removal of dead skin cells means the appearance of faded spots and pigmentations would reduce too, and this is super important, especially for those over 30s skin.

General Skincare Tips

April 13, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

If you are struggling with skincare issues like pimples, acne, and the likes, you may have tried a variety of skincare products and all sorts of advice with no luck. It can be tricky finding the right skincare routine and products for your skin. I have been there and I still remember trying so many products in the search for the right ones to help curb my hyperpigmentation after pregnancy. It was a struggle and I spent quite a bit of various products that promised to clear my skin, but most of them didn’t do much.

There’s no secret to having a clear skin. Different skincare products and routines work differently for everyone, and there’s no guarantee what works great on this dry skin would also work great on another. Having said that, there are some general skincare tips that work great on pretty much everyone, and if they don’t work, they usually do no harm. Here are some of the skincare tips –

Avoid popping pimples

Popping pimples increases the risk of more pimples appearing, so no matter how tempting, avoid popping pimples, One way to keep your fingers off your pimples is to get the Dots for Spots Acne Patches. I have a pack myself and they are so handy to have around. I like the fact that they are very effective and discreet enough to wear during the day.

Use Gentle Skincare Products

Another great skincare tip is to use gentle skincare products every time. I generally stay away from skincare products that contain any harsh ingredients. Gentle skincare products are better for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It is always good to test on a small area of the skin for any reaction when you use a new product for the first time.

Keep Makeup Brushes Clean

If you apply makeup regularly, it is important to ensure the makeup brushes are cleaned frequently. Keeping the makeup brushes clean would ensure your makeup is applied correctly, increases the longevity of the makeup brushes, and most importantly, helps the skin stay clean and clear.

Wash and Moisturise Twice a Day

It is important to wash face with a gentle face wash twice a day and moisturise immediately after every wash. That way your skin stays clean, clear and hydrated. The type of cleanser/face wash and moisturiser you choose should depend on your skin type, but overall, the more the skincare product the better.

Sunscreen is Important

Wearing sunscreen protects the skin from harmful sun rays, so applying sun protection at least 30 minutes before you step outside is very important.
