perfume whisperer
Marilyn Monroe is famously known for wearing Chanel No5, ‘What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.’ Maybe she had a deal with Chanel, who knows? Because it would seem that she also loved another perfume, and she loved it so much that she had her personal assistant purchase six bottles. That would…
You probably know by now that I am a huge fan of Vichy skincare. It soothes, beautifies, and generally makes everything better. I need to state again how much I love their Serum 10 for Eyes & Lashes. I see results, as I do with all Vichy products. They deliver on their promises. Vichy Serum…
That’s me! Mosey on over to The Whale And The Rose, where I share some of my favourite scented products. What scented beauty products are you loving these days?
I was musing about this the other day while writing a nail polish post. I remembered a friend who smelled so good I just had to have her perfume. She had a caveat when she agreed to tell me – that I “not tell anyone else” what it was. We lived in different cities, so that…

I received samples of Kerastase Cristalliste Cristal Sculpt, $47 (a serum for long unruly hair) and Masque Cristal, $58 ( a conditioning mask for…
Lately I’ve been testing a lot of mascaras, and mostly mascaras of the waterproof variety. I have very oily skin, and for some reason non-waterproof mascara just melts off my skin. The racoon eyes look does not work for me, so waterproof it is. I have several favourites, number one being Clinique Lash Power Mascara,…
I was invited to CTV Ottawa Morning Live to chat about keeping your make up melt-free and gorgeous in the heat and sun at music festivals! You can read more about the products used here.
Hot steamy weather calls for different scents than you might want to wear when the weather is cold. Soft, tropical and lush florals, fruity delights, herbal “pick me ups” and “out of the shower fresh” perfumes can take the place of the heavier, richer and sweeter more resinous perfumes we might bust out on cooler…
