Fragrance Friday…Paris Amour

Bath & Body Works scents are amazing! I’ve rarely met one that I didn’t particular fancy to some extent. There have been a few that have been too sugary or too musky, but still that have some amazing scents blaring through those vents. You know that’s how they lure you in, right?

Anyway, my latest obsession is the Paris Amour Eau de Toilette. Now…this scent use to irk me, because it made me like I would smell like a “baby prostitute”. (10 gold stars for whoever can say where that ridiculously funny saying came from. Hint: Funny-a** teen movie)

Paris Amour is a uber-girly scent, but isn’t strong and adds a soft flush of scent to you. I love it! Although the scent is very soft and more appropriate for spring, it can still work all year round!

Yeah, tired of hearing about my dry hair, by now? Imagine living with it! Currently, it’s perched at the top of my head in its naturally curly and dry state.

Today, my I introduce you to Kerastase’ s Nutritive Oleo-Relax Smoothing Masque for Dry, Rebellious Hair. Dry and rebellious hair? oh, it might as well just have my name and picture on the side of the jar.

Make-Up Monday…Clinique Limited Edition Pink Chubby Stick

Today is October 1st, which means it’s the kick-off off to National Breast Cancer Awareness month. As a woman, breast cancer is near and dear to my heart and I’m find myself buying  a plethora of pink products throughout the month of October where the proceeds go to breast cancer research and/or awareness.

Every year, Clinique produces a special bottle of their fan favorite moisturizer that comes with the Clinique signature key chain and a Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Charm, which they did again this year. However, this year they have also released a limited edition version of another fan fav, their pink Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm. I love the Chubby Stick! It gives you buildable color and moisturized lips. Yay! Plus, $3 from every sale of the limited Plumped Up Pink Chubby Stick goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Fragrance Friday…Prada Candy

Obsessed. I smelt this perfume this past weekend and ever since, I’ve been obsessed. I’ve almost gotten to the point that, although I’m in a little and temporary financial bind, I’m still thinking about splurging on it as late B-Day gift to myself. Oh, did I forget to mention that yesterday was my 31st birthday? After you hit 30, the rest are pretty much just any other day. Anyway, back to this fabulous and sweet fragrance that is Prada Candy.

Prada Candy is outside my usual love of soft and clean scents. It’s a blend of musk, vanilla, and caramel (yes, caramel), which forms a sophisticated, sensual, and alluring scent. Ugh, just typing this makes me want it even more. In typical fabulous and posh Prada fashion, it’s not the most inexpensive perfume, because it starts at around $80. Still….I want it.

Wash n Style Wednesday….Bumble and Bumble Black Hair Powder

Hair powder. Sounds interesting. BLACK hair powder. Sounds intriguing!

Bumble and Bumble make great hair products,especially this one hair spray that is ridiculous amazing that I’ll share with you one day. Anyway, their latest product that I’m over the moon happy that I found was their Black Hair Powder. Its a dry shampoo for hair dark brown and all the way up to the blackest black.

Recently, I decided to dye my hair back to its natural black/brown color. Of course, it looks more black than brown, but it should be perfect after a couple of more washes. Also, I’m in the middle of my bi-weekly no heat for 2 weeks and wearing my hair naturally curly, which means avoiding stripping shampoo like the plague. So, dry shampoo is an essential to have in my beauty closet.

dry shampoos usually leave a white residue, which not good, especially for dark hair. So, this B&B product is pretty ingenious and long overdue.
