What fragrance to gift this Christmas? Ask MicroPerfumes!

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

OMG. I. LOVE. PERFUME!  I just met an incredibly easy way to find out what fragrance  to gift - by - actually gifting a mini version of it. I just found out about MicroPerfumes. 

Remember the inch of fragrance you would get at the department store for a sample? It let you try before you buy to see how the scent wears on you, dries down and lasts. I loved getting these samples because some bottles of perfume can be a significant investment.

I received samples of: Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, which I like. I wear Chic by Carolina Herrera weekly.

A sample of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, and any and nearly all Chanel scents are a favorite to me. I really like French fragrances.

A big surprise came in a sample of Baccarat Rouge 540! Wow and pow. It has a complex note to it and I swear I get 3 different scents as it dries down from bold, to powdery floral to a soft amber.- in my opinion.

Black Opium by YSL was another sample that in my opinion is as classic as  Chanel. I like this scent though it is not a scent I would buy for me. Having a sample to try, wear and experience before buying is crucial when investing $100 or more per bottle. 

This is where MicroPerfumes comes in!

Enter MicroPerfumes, the premier online store for 99¢ fragrance samples from every brand, along with the option of buying the full-size bottle directly (plus free shipping!). Whether it’s just one sample or 16, fragrance-deprived shoppers can sample as many as they want. Spray into your face without fear, but be careful, or you might end up addicted to the scent.

Camron Collard, Chief Growth Officer at MicroPerfumes, explains: “We understand that some people are still reluctant to enter stores, and with e-commerce still the preference, we can provide a fragrance sample before you commit hundreds of dollars to the full-size bottle, in the comfort and safety of one’s own home.”

 Now - if you need a stocking stuffer for a Christmas gift, a purse size or travel fragrance, getting stocked up at MicroPerfumes is the way to go! I'm getting samples of Creed now - this is one of the scents that I have heard about for some time though have never purchased due to the investment. Now, I can try it, and decide after wearing if it's something I want to guy. 

Final note. This lil' gem! 

I love the Tom Ford brand, and their fragrances and getting one is quite the treat. I don't think I ever would have picked up a bottle called "Bitter Peach" - though, it is my new best friend and favorite. Oh the spicy, sweet, glowy, warm lingering of a bitter peach! 

So glad I met this fragrance through MicroPerfume and now it is officially on my Christmas list!

Mean Girls X Profusion lip kits - Christmas stocking stuffer perfection

Hi ya Gorgeous!

On Wednesdays, we wear pink! I was recently in Walmart and saw these lip kits were in a nearly empty, pushed off to the side section of the health and beauty aisle.

 

 

I picked up a couple for gifts and have opened the Regina George for testing in the video.

Super fun and I'm such a fan of the movie, "so fetch"! These sets are $5.98 and come with one long wearing lip creme and one Lancome style juicy tube shimmery gloss. These did not have a strong scent and wore well. When I say well, I mean not super long yet not super short. I had mine on for a few hours and then ate something and after that noticed the wear.

Thank you for watching and if you could, would you please subscribe and share! Every little bit helps!

What's on your Christmas wish list?

How to use Pix! Skintreats for Winter Skincare Help

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Happy Tuesday and welcome to your Monday blog, on Tuesday. These are some strange days. Woke up to a coyote or rogue dog tore up my peiby's couch on the patio and drank up all of her water. Not the biggest of deal, though still strange because in all these years, nothing like that has ever happened! 

 

So I am just now getting this post up even though I meant it for Monday. Any one else over whelmed with the doo dah of life? No matter how you feel, self care is important and one of my favorite ways to invest in me is skincare. I always have, and always will, remove my makeup at the end of the day and practice a good skincare routine daily! 

 

Thank you for tuning in today - and - if you could, would you please subscribe and share? Every wee thumbs up and comment makes  YouTube algorithm see the channel. I appreciate you! Now - this short is a quick tip to help you. If you are a Target, Ulta Beauty, or Amazon shopper, you may know Pix! Skincare and beauty.

 

 

I love the clean cosmetics that Pix! makes! The Pix! hydrating milky mist is perfect for daytime hydration - any - time of the day! The Pix! Glow Tonic is a classic from this brand. You can use it twice a day if you are more oily.

 

 

I use it only at night because my skin is dry. In the winter skin can become dull, and the Pix! Glow Tonic is a perfect way to do light exfoliation daily in the night time when you won't be as bothered by sun. Enjoy and let me know in the comments what your favorite winter skin care switches you use.
