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



X: What's your favorite perfume? 
Me: Ummmm... Guilty for now. 
X- Not Bad. I like Guilty too.. but my fav one is Madmoiselle💕
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.

I'm so glad I took some time off and popped into their store at Mall of the Emirates. A quick glance at the store and I knew this was going to be an expensive purchase. Funny how visuals tell you so much about the product.

I sniffed a couple of their cult scents namely Lime Basil, Red Roses, Tuberose, Velvet Rose and Oud and then landed on Peony...... my mood began to change, it felt like I finally found my scent...OMG this was instant love.

It was created by Master Perfumer, Christine Nagel, with the primary ingredients being: top note of red apple, heart of peony and base note of suede. In more detail:
  • The top notes are red apple, fresh almond and bergamot
  • The heart notes are peony, jasmine sambac, rose, and gillyflower
  • The base notes are suede, patchouli and amberwood.
It's not surprisingly floral when you first spray it but when it settles you will smell the well balanced leathery notes mixed with the floral notes and you will inevitably be transported to perfume heaven.  All you will want is to smell of it from dusk to dawn. 
This stuff is pure love 💕💓💕💖

There is a huge drawback though, it's crazy expensive AED 685 for a bottle plus VAT and it doesn't last long at all. Max maybe two to three hours. Duty Free does have it cheaper but its still not pocket friendly. If you do buy; it will be one of your most loved perfumes I promise 💋

Refectocil Brow and Lash Tint- Review!!

Image
Is there any girl in Dubai who is not crazy about those dense brows? Anyone? Does any girl step out of the house without doing her brows? Eyebrows must always be on fleek!! 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. Heard of micro-blading? It's better than an eye brow tattoo but you shell out around AED 1200 for this. Tattoo looks too artificial IMO so its a NO NO for me. So what am I left with? 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 😎💃 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...

Lush Mask of Magnaminty Review!!

Image
Ola Lovelies!! Think its very obvious that I'm hopelessly in love with Lush and their products are so unique and unmatched that I don't think I will ever grow out of them ♥♥ Today I'm going to review the ever famous Mask of Magnaminty and this is the very first mask that I tried from Lush! TBH I just picked this one up because it was talked about so much and in comparison to the fresh face masks this had a much longer shelf life! What does Lush say about this mask? " Easily smoothed over the skin, this mask is made with peppermint oil to stimulate, marigold oil and chlorophyllin to treat the skin; evening primrose seeds and aduki beans to gently exfoliate as you wash it away. There’s mineral rich kaolin to nourish, honey for its antibacterial properties, and we used just the right amount of peppermint oil to stimulate blood cells under the surface of your skin and leave your skin looking bright and refreshed." Ingredients List: ...

SKINFOOD Black Sugar Honey Mask Wash Off- Review!!!

Image
SKINFOOD is an established Korean skincare brand and roots itself in food. The brand works around the philosophy of using food for healthy skin and all of their products have food as their key ingredients. You can say SKINFOOD is Korea’s LUSH. Their ingredients however are not as clean as LUSH. Being such a skin care junkie I had to try SKINFOOD and the first product I purchased was their Black Sugar Honey Wash off Mask. I got this on Souq and it didn't cost much. I believe this was for about AED 40. It's a wash off mask featuring organic black sugar granules for exfoliation, and rich honey that softens skin for a clean, smooth complexion. My Experience: This mask smells delicious... I mean lick worthy delicious. I could see the honey floating on top of the mask. It even looked edible to me. You have to mix the honey and sugar bits before you apply it. I used my sanitized finger straight into the pot and stirred the whole mixture until it...
