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. 

Gucci ~ "Guilty"



First I came across Gucci "Guilty" around three years ago. I saw them at my friends perfume plate. They caught my eye with their ,massive gold bottle. After spraying myself I was hooked. I wanted them right away. So my friend being super sweet got tme them for my birthday. I was so happy!
But yeah I love them so much and I was using them everyday. Yes EVERYDAY!  run out faster than I thought! One day browsing website I stumble on them on FragranceNet.com. They had them and thy had them cheaper then Sephora or any other retailer! Yay! My lucky Day!
And now I am a proud owner of another Gucci "Guilty"..again.



After reading reviews on it  wonder why so many people don't like it.  I think it is really nice perfume for evening out. Not everyday like used to use hahah. Please don't be like me LOL. 
The scent is really addicting. Make you feel rich, sexy and feminine. 
The scent is described as floriental.

Top Notes : Mandarin, Orange, Pink Pepper
Heart Notes : Lilac, Lavender
Base Notes : Patchouli, Musk, Amber. 

I love how it smell on me and my hubby likes it too. ALways complements me when ever I wear it. 
Love the gorgeous, massive gold bottle. It is very eye catching, with G's window showing the perfume liquid. The only downside is that the bottle get fingerprints easy :( Other then that I have no complaints :)
Now I can admit I am Guilty of Loving Gucci. 

You can get them at Fragrancenet.com $59.99 ( 25% coupon = $44.99) for 2.5 fl.oz (75ml)


Carmen Electra "Rrrr" Perfume review ( Fragrancenet.com exclusive)




I love Carmen! Love her in 'Baywatch'. who is guilty f watching "baywatch'? Back in 90's that was one of my favorite shows to watch. And we all know who Carmen Electra is. 
So anyways today I want to show you her new perfume that launched 2015 and are Fragrancenet.com exclusive. 



"Sexy, playful fragrance with seductive trail ment to stop any man in his track"



Perfume is beautiful. At first is very fruity  you can smell mandarin and peach and then goes down to sweet floral- caramelly notes. So they are sweet but not overwhelming. 
Wear time for me is about 6-7 hours and then I have spray it again. 



Now the bottle! Look ho cute it is :) Glass, very sturdy. Kitty like shaped. Hence the print on the packaging and the lid. Love the cute red lips that gives the pop of colors and the bottle is not boring. The leopard print cap comes off entirely. Also you can see on the lid printed Carmen Electra name in silver. I think the shape of the bottle is really cute and love to display it on my vanity with other perfumes. 
Anyways I am a sucker for anything leopard! That was and will be my favorite print. Even the box is cover in leopard spots :) Also the lips and Carmen Electra name on the box have a 3d feel to it. 
I never really throw boxes away . I like to keep them :)

Smoothing Therapy Keratin Complex ~ Winter Hair Care




Your hair needs same attention as your skin, no matter if it's summer, fall or winter. Now that temperature drops drastically, your hair gets damaged very fast. 
I have a long hair, a very very long hair and plus my hair are color treated and they get damaged very easy. So hair care is really important for me.

Today I will share with you my new hair care products I been using for a past week. 
And also I become a Brand Ambassador for FragranceNet.com and I super excited to tell you more about this amazing expirence!  FragranceNet is a website where you can find perfumes, colognes, candles and makeup at really great prices! So i there are any great deals going on I will or sure let you know right away :) Best if you all can follow my IG -> Villemo20. I post there first and this place comes in second :). 
Anyways back to review. Also at the end I will post few tips on how to take care of your hair in winter, so stay tuned for that. 

Smoothing Therapy Keratin Complex Shampoo and Conditioner ~ since I have color treated hair I need to invest in hair care that help me keep my color longer. Smoothing Therapy Keratin Complex duo which I received from FragranceNet not only kept my color but it made my hair look and feel better. I even got a lots of compliments and girls at my work asked what did I do to my hair ?! They look smooth, less fizzy and when you touch silky soft. Yes, that's what I called Magic In  a Bottle. 
Before that my hair were really dry and dull looking. Maybe you notice that after shampooing your hair gets really heavy and very dry, you know what I mean ? Does this happen to you too or its only me? They get so tangled that when I think of brushing all the knots out I cry, Yup that will hurt!
Every time I got to hairdresser all I hear is how bad my hair are.Well I know they are, but I wont stop dying them, I like myself in a blonde hair.
After using this magical duo my hair never felt better. After shampooing I actually could run fingers thru my hair ( I didn't conditioner my hair yet).So after shampooing three times I apply conditioner and I let it sit in my hair or 5- 10 minutes. If I don't use hair masks ( and I didn't use it this time , I wanted to know how these two will perform on its own) I leave in conditioner for 10 min to make my hair more softer and more manageable. 
After 10 minutes I rinse my hair and boy they felt good! Brushing it went fast and smooth. 
Yeah well almost bottom of my hair was still tangled, well that happens a lot to me :)
Anyways I really am impressed with Smoothing Therapy duo. 
After blow drying and styling I notice that my hair were also less fizzy. Plus straightening my hair with flat iron went easier and faster than usual. It also smells divine. Fresh and fruity.
And before I blow dry my hair I used Keratin Complex Infusion Therapy Keratin replenishment. Advance formulation that revitalizes the hair with a blend of keratin and emollients. It restores moisture, protects against frizz and helps seal nourishment into the cuticle, leaving behind silky, shiny hair. 
The bottle comes with a pump so it is very easy to use. Just dispense 2-3 pumps in your hands and then apply evenly into your hair. the color of it reminds me o f strawberry pudding :) but I am not a big fan of a scent tho. I am pretty sure this will become a product that I will not be able to live without.

Few tips or you :
* Wear Hat ~ always cover your head and hair.
* moisturize ~ use hair mask
* try to use less hair tools such as blow dryer and flat iron, they take all the moisture from your hair and make them dryer. if you using them, apply heat protecting sprays first
* avoid chemicals
* use argan oil to add moisture to your hair
