The Soft Quiet Beauty of Givenchy ange ou démon le secret elixir
When sprayed on initially, I smell a slight hint of a bitter fruit, namely grapefruit, despite the fact that descriptions of this scent found online don’t mention it.

YSL Volupté Sheer Candy Gloss is a Beautiful Balm, Too!
No2 Dewy Papaya second from right I’m a sucker for a lip balm. I am also a sucker for luxe packaging and pretty colours. But, I am also quite colour phobic and tend to wear sheer glosses or my lips but better non lippy lippies. I was perusing the YSL counter and thanks to most…
