Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise

I have to admit that I initially bought this more for the bottle than the actual perfume. The bottle is beautiful, and makes me happy just to see it, so I thought why not? As for the scent... I am not really into perfumes that are as floral as this one, BUT it does have a nice scent once it dries. It is light enough that I like it and it wears away nicely with almost a sweet note, so you aren't left with that grandma-ish floral scent that some floral tend to have.
I will admit that I don't wear this scent very often, but I have gotten compliments when I do, so it is worth a look even if you aren't a floral type of girl.

The Body Shop White Musk Eau de Parfum

I bought this after years of smelling my mom's white musk oil (also from the Body Shop) At first I wasn't really into it for myself, but it smelled so good on her I had to get it too. This is a relatively simple scent, but it smells divine, and is clean. Not too much I can say, but it is so worth trying! And be sure to get the body lotion! -

I love my ped egg! I was a bit worried about using it at first, because it is really just a little blades that scrap dry skin off your feet, and I wasn't too sure about how safe it would be. Once I tired it... omg. It works amazingly well to remove dead, dry, callused skin from your feet. Forget the cremes that don't do anything and get a ped egg, it is so worth it.
For the best results, I use my ped egg (on dry skin) and then apply a good thick foot creme and a pair of cotton socks. I usually do this before bed, and by the morning I have super moisturized feet.
While you can get ped eggs for $9-12 I found ones that look exaclty the same as the "brand name" ones in the dollar store for $1 and they look and function exactly the same as my $10 brand name one. It is cheaper to buy a new $1 one than pay $14 for two replacement blades.

Another summery scent from Yves Rocher. I have to give it to them, they can make a great perfume. This is a fruity floral, but you don't really get any of the floral. This scent smells like a subdued fruit salad, in my opinion as you get notes of berries, citrus (orange and lemon) peach and and a touch of watermelon. It is the perfect light summer scent. I love it, but again I wish that there was a matching lotion. I love to layer my scents. This does however come in a hair and body jellee, which is great. I find the scent lasts a very long time when I use the jellee instead of my regular shampoo. -

I love this scent! It is a fruity floral, but I find on me you don't get too much of the floral, the fruity top notes and the vanilla base are more apparent. I love that this scent isn't overly floral, which it what you would expect based on the name. You get notes of citrus (mainly orange) and berries (raspberries stand out to me) with a hint of rose and a smooth sweet vanilla dry down.
This is a perfect summer scent and is similar to Escada scents (but way less $) I will purchase this perfume again, I only wish that there was a scented body lotion too.

I first tried a paper sample of this perfume and was pleasantly surprised, so I thought I would give it a go.
This perfume has a very natural clean scent (some say it is similar to Light Blue by D&G;) and is perfect for everyday. Top notes are lemon, bergamont, tagetes and green apple. Middle notes are peach blossom and jasmine. Base notes are cedar, amber, vanilla, and musk.
This scent is clean and really fresh. I love the notes blend together so you can''t really smell what they are, but the whole combination is pleasant. Definitely worth a try. I got the body lotion too, to make the scent last longer. It smells just as good!

When I first read about this perfume and smelled the sample, I did no think that it would be right for me. But after trying the sample and ultimately buying it, I am really into it. This perfume is perfect for everyday, and has a slight vanilla scent mixed with floral tones and a touch of fruit. I tend to not care for overly floral scents, but this one is calmer and easier to wear. I definitely recommend giving it a try. -

I was really excited when I bought this perfume and had wanted it for a while, so I went a head. Ugh, I quickly found that it was not the scent for me. It is way too strong, and I can't even distinguish what it smell like other than alcohol and well... headache. This perfume was a headache in a bottle for me. I ended up giving it to a friend that liked it. -

I had wanted to try this perfume for years, and then I saw it at RCSS and thought I should just buy it. Why not? I got the larger bottle for the price of the smaller bottle (the price is wrong in the system at my local store!) and I couldn't love it more. I already have two bottles as back up.
This scent it sweet and girly, but not sickeningly so. It has a really nice dry down, and you are left with a vanilla -caramel- marshmallow-y delightful scent. I can't get enough of it! It is popular too, I get compliments every time I wear it.

At first I wan't sure what all the hype around this colour was for, but after seeing swatches I had to get a bottle. This is one of four colours from the Hong Kong collection that I picked up and I love it. This is fuchsia type colour, but it isn't as over the top as you might expect. It is the perfect shade.
The application is amazing, and I can get a full opaque cover with one coat. One coat! Amazing. Wear is alright, minimal chipping and wear after 3-4 days. I got my bottle from SpaBoutique.ca for $12 a bottle which is a bit pricey, but this colour is so unique it was worth it.
