Now Smell This-- Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Perfume!!

Image
X: What's your favorite perfume?  Me: Ummmm... Guilty for now.  X- Not Bad. I like Guilty too.. but my fav one is Madmoiselle๐Ÿ’• Me- I don't think I love any perfume enough to call it my favorite. X- Just stares at me with a weird face. I have been in this place for the longest time until I stumbled upon Jo Malone Peony and Blush suede. It's a funny story though. I loved Loccitane's Cherry Blossom EDP and wanted something similar with better spillage and lasting power. I googled my way through so many scents and dupes for it and somewhere on a random website I found a comment left behind to check out Jo Malone's Cherry Blossom version. Cherry Blossom however is a limited edition version and the closest scent they have to cherry blossom is Peony and Blush Seude.

With this whole brow frenzy going on and the added chore of filling them in everyday, I had to look for an easy way out. There were many options but most of them expensive and not worth it.

Easiest available options were Henna and Color (dye). Temp solutions but worth a try. In comes "Refectocil Brow and Lash Tint". This product is cruelty free, not tested on animals and Vegan ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ƒ I got my kit on E bay for around AED 80 and the kit included the tint cream, the developer and a mixing container. Chose shade no.3 which is dark brown and after being equipped with a couple of YouTube videos I w...
