Summer to Fall Perfume Transitions ~ Viva La Juicy and Poison Girl



As you already know I love perfumes. What can I say I like to smell good, who doesn't? 
In this post I want to talk about my two new perfumes. Well not so new but still new.  One that I been using in a summer a quite a lot and one I been saving for Fall, but I was still using in the summer haha. 



Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture have been on my wishlist forever. Ever since my friend gifted me a tiny rollerball one for Christmas years ago I always wanted a full size of it. These perfumes are so me! girly and sexy at the same time. What caught my eye? The most gorgeous bottle! You know, that crystal cap with fuchsia pink bow and a chain with Juicy logo. Ummm Yes it is perfect and it looks stunning on a dressing table, Aside from the bottle the fragrance is to die for!



 Feminine sweet fruity floral. At first spritz you get hit by fruity scent that dries down to sweet flowery-vanilla. The scent is not overpowering or annoying. It didn't give me headache. I got a lot of compliments and people were asking m what kinda perfume is that .. well Juicy of course!  The fruity floral composition makes this perfume perfect for summer days and nights :) I am a fan! and now I will be looking into more perfumes by the brand :) and Thanks God FragranceNet.Com they are always on sale :) I think I found my signature scent :) 




Notes:
TOP : wild berries, mandarin
Heart: Jasmine, Gardenia, Honeysuckle
Base: Vanilla, Amber, Caramel, Praline, Sandalwood.

Get it from FargranceNet.com

Long hot summer days coming to the end and we will welcome shorter and more cooler days. and with this most of women will change their perfume game. They will look for perfumes that contains amber,spices etc notes. I on the other hand found my summer to fall perfume and I think it fits perfect. The newest addition to famous Dior's Poison family ~ Poison GIrl. Fragrance launched in January 2016 and it is intended for younger lovers of this iconic brand. I personally don't call myself a lover of the brand. I own the original Poison, which I use on occasion. Other then that I didn't have a chance to look into other Poison perfumes. I heard of Poison Girl from my mom! yes! She got herself one and she love it! and she been talking a lot of it so I decided to finally give a shot and get new Poison. And guess what? I love it. They said it was intended for younger gals but to be honest anyone can pull it off.



Comes in a classic poison bottle and this one is pink :) the composition contains: sicilian bitter orange, that lead to heart of roses ( which contain May Rose and Damascena Rose). The drydown is Venezuelan tonka beans, sandalwood form Sri Lanka, almond and vanilla.  Pure oriental sweetness.
I actually love Vanilla scents for fall and winter. Also I have to say that this perfume reminds me very much of YSL Black Opium. So for sure will be my favorite coz let me be honest Black Opium is my fave!
Yu can get them off FragranceNet.com
Price: $104.39



April Favorites ~ Makeup and Skin Care



Hi Loves!

I just realize that I haven't post my favorites this year... And there is another post I skipped ~ "Month is Pictures" I think I should bring both of them back ? What do you think?

My April favorites will be more of my favorites since January haha! Well since I didn't post any I will include products that I been loving in past few months. 
I just want to warn you, it might be a lot :) 
Lets jump in it then :)

Makeup 



* Loreal LUMI primer ~ My Oily skin kinda likes this product. I though I would look all grease and all but nooo. It gives me a dewy look. Just let it sits for few minutes before applying foundation. Kept my foundation in place and well I like the glow once in a while , you know without feeling greasy.

* Pur Hydra Fluid Foundation ~ same here it should suit my oily skin, but once I use a matte powder all is good! It gives nice hydration to the skin and that is why I like it :) This will be perfect for summer days :) 

* Dior Air Flash Spray Foundation ~ now this is my go to!  Gives me full coverage and matte finish. I freaking love this foundation. It works the best in a colder days. I would not want to wear it during heat in the summer tho. Definitely a must have for oily skin :)



* Lunatick Cosmetics Labs ~ Mystifying Mattifying powder ~ clear, pressed powder. Gives nice matte look and won't leave a white cast on the face. I been really loving it and well the packaging is on point !

* Bella Pierre Contour and Highlight Pro Palette ~ I get so much use of this palette. 3 highlight shades and 3 bronzers. Highlight shades are great to set the concealer and to highlight face and 2 bronzers are great to contour with. 

* N.Y.Color Sunny Bronzer ~ at first I thought it might be to dark but it is great to just warm up my face. I don't use it for contouring it is too warm for that.

I really love their overnight express, and recently I tried Wonder cream and well I love it :) I really like that it leaves my skin feeling smooth and calm. Absorbs quick and don't leave a greasy feeling. Review on my Amarte Skin Care line soon :)

* Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist ~  deeply hydrating, smells good what more can I expect? Love the mist pump. Goes so well in pair with Hydrating Milky Serum. Once I spray on my face I like to pat it down and follow up with serum and viola I am ready to go :)


*SkinDeva Hyaluronic Acid ~ Serum that I apply twice a day. Clear, absorbs quick. Leaves my skin soft and smooth and whats important hydrated. Its an anti-aging skin treatment that keeps wrinkles at bay. I don't have wrinkles yet but oh men I really like this stuff. I do feel like my skin got a bit more firm though. :)

* Savannah Shea Butter Treatment Oil ~ I received a huge box of Savannah Products back in February and this one is so far my favorite!  I love to apply it on my hair after I am done with straightening. My hair feels amazing! They look glossy and feel silky soft. It didn't weigh down my hair or anything , plus it smells wonderful. Again review on their hair care line soon. :)

Green Celebration of St.Patrick's Day ~ Fragrances





Happy St.Patrick's Day Loves!
I can tell today will be lots of green going on! NYC streets every year are green and a lot of people celebrating St. Patrick's day. Even Empire State Building lights up green.
So for this occasion I am going to celebrate with green fragrances.
One is an actual  'green' Fragrance and the other two are packed in green bottles.

Lets start with my favorite out of three ~ DKNY Be Delicious (Green Apple)




Such a beautiful and fresh scent capture in adorable apple bottle. I really had a hard time to photograph this baby! The lid is like a mirror you can spy my phone if you look closely.
But anyways I love this bright and energetic scent! I first I thought it will be more like apples but well its not! The notes that my nose picks up the most are cucumber and magnolia :) And these together are amazing! This will make my go to spring / summer fragrance. Definitely you guys need it.
Notes:
TOP ~ Grapefruit, Cucumber, Magnolia
HEART ~  Apple, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose, Violet
BASE ~ White Amber, Woods

Now the other two. I will admit I had hard time to review it. I was not a fan of either one. But, I am happy to have them in my collection.

Dior ~ Poison




Luxurious oriental, warm, spicy, balsamic scent. before getting it I read reviews and everyone seems to love it. For me this is way to heavy. Vintage scent. It launched in 80's and women around the world love it. Poison is sweet, dark and mysterious like picking berries in the midnight woods. It lasts forever. I mean forever! I sprayed on my wrist and 24h later I can still smell it. This perfume is a classic and having in my collection is fantastic.
Notes:
TOP ~ Coriander, Pimento, Plum,Anise, Mace, Rosewood, carnation
Heart ~ Rose, Tuberose, Ylang -Ylang ,Cinnamon, Jasmine, Lily of the valley
BASE ~ Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Musk, VAnilla,Heliotrope

 Jessica Simpson ~ Fancy Nights



Again another miss for me. Oh I wish to love them but I cant :( Fancy Nights is really heavy woody oriental scent. Some people say that is a almost perfect dupe for Prada Amber. The bottle is gorgeous! Green with all the gold decorations =, breathtaking :) This can make prefect winter perfume coz fragrance is really strong. Opens up with patchouli note that dries down to musky vanilla scent. Last pretty long too . I wore it twice and twice I got headache... I guess my head and nose don't like something it in
Notes;
TOP ~ Bergamot, Papyrus
HEART ~ Patchouli, Rose, Night Blooming Jasmine
BASE ~ Vanilla, AMber, Sandalwood, Oakmoss

I can highly recommend both if your a fan of woody oriental fragrances. They are made for specific people, sadly I am not one of them :( I will though try to work with them and maybe use them as a base for other perfumes I own and see if I can make something.
