perfume whisperer
Oh, how I love Dove Beauty Bar. I love the way it smells, the way it looks, and the soft fluffy clean lather I get from it. Many years ago I owned a home cleaning business (one of our city’s first environmentally friendly services…) and I learned something very interesting from my employees. Our clients that had…
I’ve always loved Hermes Eau de Merveilles (2004) perfume. It’s a sexy woodsy perfume, with mouth watering notes of citrus and a unique salty impression that leaves one thinking of hot sun, sand and the beach, without actually being a beachy or aquatic perfume. Its warm and sexy, and seems to glow on the skin….
The scent of simple uncomplicated musk perfumes always reminds me of my teenage years. They were really big back then, probably because they are so simple and easy to wear. They smell like skin….warm skin. Sometimes clean, and sometimes a little not-so-clean, which is where the sexy aspect comes in. The key is that even…
Sometimes we just want a no fuss sheer mani. I have millions a couple sheer pinks/whites in varying levels of sheer that suit just about any mani mood that strikes. But, I just could not resist the pretty pink Chanel Le Vernis. It has teensy bits of that signature Chanel shimmer, but in this case…
So my almost 17 year old baby, Biddy, was lucky enough to snag a sample of Chanel’s latest perfume offering, Chanel Coco Noir. Each time I sniff it I like it a little bit more. Some may disagree with me, but I think Chanel does a great job with their flankers (a variation on an…
I like perfumes that take a chance. They try to step outside of the box, either in the actual scent (which can be risky) or in design, style, distribution or what have you. The name A Lab On Fire conjures up a dramatic mental picture for me, and makes me think about the process…
Well the fall weather is upon us. I have been craving the richer deeper jewel tone colours of autumn in my make up and clothes. How perfect are these Paige Verdugo Ultra Skinny jeans in burgundy? They are a thicker denim than a summer weight jean, and have a lovely velvety feel to them. I…
Yes, another jasmine perfume has wriggled its way into my collection. Its a simple, drop-dead gorgeous soliflore, but only in the complicated soliflore way of Serge Lutens. Which means that while the jasmine stands center stage in À la Nuit, it has some supporting players, namely green notes (fresh) honey (sweet & slightly carnal) clove,…
The other day on Twitter, one of my fellow Canadian beauty bloggers, Jessica over at Beautizine, asked us what make up item we never leave the house without. Not surprisingly, my answer was Jane Iredale Brush-Me Matte Powder. What was surprising however, was how I have never reviewed this. At this point, Brush-Me Matte is…
Well, I love my skin scents, I do. Soft, gentle and wearing close to the skin, skin scents can be sweet and innocent but they can also be sexy. It’s quite sensual when someone has to get close to smell your perfume. But you could also snuggle a baby or a puppy and not disturb…
