Perfume Review: Vera Wang Lovestruck * Feat. V-Day gifts!

This is one of those fragrances that I would wear year round. It's fruity in a mature way. The bottle is super cute & looks nice on my perfume tray. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like Lovestruck or not because my 17 year old Brother bought it for his younger girlfriend. On recent trips to both Ulta & Sephora I gave this a try & realized that I really liked it, but didn't wanna pay full prize for it. My Husband wanted to get me this for Valentine's Day because he said the name "Lovestruck" fit. We were recently in T.J. Maxx & he spotted the box & it was at a steal. The 1.7 oz is originally $68 & we found it for $30!  The scent lingers all Day. I spray it in the Morning and in the evening I can still smell this on my clothes. Its not strong so I will be wearing this into the Spring & Summer. If you get a chance go smell this!

Notes:

Pink Guava, Mandarin, Tuberose, Lotus Blossom, Precious Woods, Sheer Musk. 
Style:
Feminine. Romantic. Spontaneous.

For Special Occasions/ Holidays we usually always tell each other what we want, sometimes its a secret.

He knew how much I really wanted a Coach wristlet to take the place of my bulky wallet so he also picked me up this for Valentine's Day...

We found this at Dillards onsale for $33 originally $58!

What can I say I taught my Hubby how to bargain shop!

What are you Ladies doing for Valentine's Day?
My Husband & I are going out to Dinner & then going watch "Safe Haven". I read the book by Nicholas Sparks & it's amazing! Can't wait to see the movie =)

Perfume Reviews : Flowerbomb & Jimmy Choo rollerballs

VIKTOR & ROLF FLOWERBOMB

Flowerbomb is definitely a strong very femine & mature fragrance. 

The scent lasts about 6 hours before starting to fade. 

The only bad thing about this perfume is the price tag...

 $160 for  3.4 oz

$105 for 1.7 oz

$75 for 1 oz

This is a perfume I would REALLY love to have in my collection so maybe I'll go with the smaller bottle. 

It's definitely one that I would only wear on special occasions.

 Notes:

Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli.

Style:

Oriental. Gourmand. Floral.

JIMMY CHOO BY JIMMY CHOO

I really liked this perfume in the store so I decided to get the rollerball to see if I would still like it after using it for awhile. I'm glad I went the rollerball. Yes the perfume smells good but there's a note in it (not sure which one) that gives me really bad headaches. I can only rub it on wrist so there's no way I will be purchasing the full size bottle. The full size bottle is really pretty too :( Also this one is alot more affordable compared to Flowerbomb. If your sensitive to smell I wouldn't suggest this one.

Notes:

Green, Tiger Orchid, Toffee, Sensual Indonesian Patchouli. 

Style:

Feminine. Luxurious. Stylish.

Michael Kors Very Hollywood perfume

This scent is such an mature scent & is different then anything else I have in my collection. Lasts a good 6 hours before the scent starts to fade.

Big Pony #3 body spray- review

Contemporary life is an exciting, colorful multi-dimensional adventure for a confident young woman. She can no longer be defined by a single aspect of her life. Ralph Lauren celebrates her many facets and accomplishments with The Big Pony Collection for Women, a series of four fragrances embracing dynamic femininity. A new generation of women is leading the way and they now have a fragrance collection to call their own. Eccentric, rebellious and independent, this floral green fragrance highlights pear and mimosa. The crisp, bright scent represents ultimate optimism and natural feminine radiance for a woman who dances to the beat of her own drum. Set upon a luminous yellow bottle, the oversized blue polo pony icon contrasts with a bold, orange number 3.

Notes:
Pear, Mimosa.
Style:
Optimistic. Radiant. Independent.

Smell lasts a long time. 

Not too strong. 

Perfect scent to wear throughout the year.

Retails for $23

perfume reviews: Marc Jacobs "Oh Lola" & Coach "Poppy"

Flirtatious, charming, and sparkling with lighthearted personality, this fragrance leaves you flirting with your senses! It bursts open with a bright and whimsical effervescence. At the heart of the fragrance is the playful scent of peony. As the scent dries down, a flirty and elegant trail gives you an unexpected touch of fun that makes you smile! 

Oh, Lola's cap bursts from the bottle in a flowery swirl of glossy, transparent petals in pink and cherry red. Beautifully juicy and refreshing, each brilliant layer of petals comes together with a surprising sparkle of spontaneous personality. 

Notes:

Raspberry, Vanilla, Peony, Pear, Cyclaman. 

Style:

Vibrant. Flirtatious. Lighthearted.

My thoughts: 

Really like the scent & the fact that the smell lingers for a good while.

Need to get the bottle so I can spray my clothes.

A youthful and spirited fragrance, the initial spray of this fruity-floral scent delights with bright cucumber flower petals, juicy mandarin, and the sparkling freshness of bright baby freesia buds. In the heart notes, a lush bouquet comes forward, including petally jasmine, pink water lily, Southern gardenia, and the petals of red candied rose. A sweet depth wraps around these floral notes with a rich accord of crème brûlée. In the base, sensual and woody undertones create a lasting impression with notes of cedarwood, bleached sandalwood, lush vanilla, and whipped marshmallow. 

Notes:
Cucumber Flower Petals, Mandarin, Baby Freesia Buds, Jasmine, Pink Water Lily, Southern Gardenia, Rose Petals, Crème Brûlée Accord, Cedarwood, Bleached Sandalwood, Vanilla, Whipped Marshmallow. 
Style:
Flirty. Fashionable. Fun.

My Thoughts:

This perfume smells amazing! It's my all time favorite BUT I wish the scent lasted longer. An hour after I spray it I can no longer smell it. Maybe during the Winter it'll last longer.
