Soir de Lune Perfume/Body Lotion Review

Hi
I'm sorry I've been MIA for the past week, i was sick and couldn't get up from the bed. I sat at home on Thursday and Friday and had an extra long weekend. :) Candy(my niece) played my nurse... i have not seen a toddler like her anywhere and i have baby sat for many many kids. At twenty months old, she bought me water, my medicines, and she even bought her small plastic bucket for me to throw up in after seeing my mom do the same the previous night. Her observation skills are amazing, she even modified her prayer by saying "Dear Jesus, Thank you Penna, Amen" which usually goes "Dear Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Amen" May God Bless that Little Sweetheart.

This is one of the gifts I got for V-Day... :)

Let's see what's inside it...... :)

The perfume has an alluring, enticing quality and i somehow feel that this is not for teenagers as it has a sophistication that is very womanly yet not mature.

Description On the Website: 
Soir de Lune includes top notes of fresh citrus, bergamot orange, mandarin, lemon, coriander, nutmeg, chili pepper; mid notes of May rose centifolia absolute, mimosa flower absolute, jasmine, lily of the valley, iris, peach; base note of moss, musk, honey, sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli.

My Description: 
At the first spritz, i thought.... nah... it's too strong but at the day went by, it mellowed down into a light, understated floral scent. I would say that this perfume like its moniker, "Soir de Lune" which translated into English means Moonlit Evening, is really fit for evenings and special occasions. I am so happy with this gift as this is quite a rare perfume and i feel as if there's romance all around me while wearing it. :) Just a spritz and the scent envelopes you in a warm cloud and i can smell it all through the day. And i love the cap on the bottle... it's sooooooo romantic.

The creme also moisturizes and the fragrance lingers too, i wouldn't recommend layering, coz, the scent might become too powerful and give people headaches. 

Price: 35 pounds

Availability: 
(Online) My hubby asked someone to buy it for him, and he said that he chose this perfume for me from all the many many bottles that were given to him for selection. :) 

I don't know if i'll buy this perfume as i somehow prefer Flora by Gucci to this for daily wear, but if you're willing to try new fragrances, then go for it.

Bye Bye

Bath and Body Works Pink Chiffon Body Creme

Hello Beauties!!!

Hope you had an extra LOVEly weekend... I had an amazing time and was sad to see the weekend get over so soon.

If i ever want to be a color i'll be.... wait for it.... PINK... Bee(my sis) calls me pink obsessed and i guess i am... most of my clothes are pink, shoes, bags, etc, etc are pink... And dad used to tease me saying if given the chance i would even paint my teeth pink... ha ha ha.

I got this cream as a part of a small gift package my SIL sent from the U.S. When i opened the packet, i was a bit disappointed.... I already have so many creams and body lotions.... but i opened the tube, took a whiff and BOOM my mind changed.. Its the best smelling cream ever. Nothing is going to replace it. Never. I cant describe how good it smells. I've used a few of the B&BW signature scents and i can confidently tell u that this is by far the best.

What Bath and Body Works Pink Chiffon Body Lotion Claims:

Our exclusive Signature Collection Body Lotion is fortified with powerful ingredients like super conditioning Shea Butter, fast absorbing Jojoba Oil and protective Vitamin E to hydrate skin with moisture that lasts all day. Our non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and completely to leave skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth and nourished, making it the perfect daily moisturizer.

• Our exclusive Pink Chiffon is a light-as-air pairing of soft pink petals & vanilla chiffon icing.
• Key Fragrance Notes: Sparkling Red Pear, Vanilla Orchid and Whipped Chiffon Musk.

My Description: 

It's very hard to describe this scent, when you smell it form the tube it all floral and fruity but when you start applying, it morphs into a sweet soft delicate scent that lingers on through out the day. Trust me, if you don't suffer from B.O like me then you don't need a perfume when you put this cream. The texture is very good and its easily absorbed.

Price:

USD 11

Availability:

It's available online.

I highly recommend this to anyone who loves sweet floral complex scents. 

I cant wait for my dad to go to Dubai next month, i'll ask for the Pink Chiffon Shower gel, body lotion, mist and the hand sanitizers... :)

Here's how the conversation went:

Dad: I'm leaving to Dubai next month, will be there for 3 days..

Me: Dad make sure u go to the B&BW store like u did last time, it's in L1, in between Boots and Faces(yes i know this by heart).

Dad: You think i'm going there to shop?

Me: (Pretending not to hear) Whatsapp me the pics of the pocketbac holders ok daddy? I'll start making the list.

Dad: (shaking his head)You and you're lists... Im going there on a business trip, i wont have the time... starts saying his itinerary which is like... airport-hotel-office-hotel-airport.

Me: Cant u squeeze in two hrs daddy, for me? Your firstborn? Sometimes i get very dramatic.

Dad doesn't say anything goes down to the hall to inform mom.

Dad: R.K i'm leaving to dubai.. 3 days next month.

Mom: Ok pa. Get dates, dates syrup, Quinoa, toys for Candy and i want 5 liters of Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Lotion from B&BW. Im crazy of that scent. (seriously she said 5 litres) 

Dad: Ok done.

And he laughed seeing the look on my face. MEN... Im giving up trying to figure them up....

What was in my Best of Fab Bag 2013???

I know this post is a tad too late but still............On returning home back from Kenya, I was surprised to see that Velvette/Fab Bag had reached it's one year anniversary. And so I ordered the Best of 2013 Fab Bag online and waited eagerly for the package to arrive.

And it arrived twenty days after i ordered it and i ran to open it....

Have a peek at what's inside!!!!

When i saw this i was so excited, esp with the face packs and the shampoo and conditioner... :)

Top L-R: I love... coconut, strawberry, mango face mask 15ml sachets, Nail art stickers(i forgot which brand)

Bottom L-R: Votre Pore Shrinking Toner, Brocato Curlin interrupted shampoo, Nature's Co Lavender Body Lotion and Motives Makeup Palette.  

In the middle: Flomar Lipstick shade no 46.

 The card that came along with it  said that the Motives palette cost Rs.3000/- UNBELIEVABLE...

The pics of the lipstick swatches didnt come out so well... They're are a bright fiery red and i dislike the texture of it..

I've used the shampoo and the conditioner and they're a failure as well.

Likes:

1. The face masks.... yummy... and they leave the skin smooth and supple. And the smell is AMAZING.

2.  The body lotion is the perfect size to be carried in my handbag...

Dislikes:

Everything else

Price:

1099/-

Would i Subscribe?

NO.

I subcribed to Envy Box... Lets see what they have in store for me...

Until then... Enjoy this month of love with you're loved ones...

Marks & Spencer's Magnolia Hand and Nail Creme

On my last visit to Forum Mall, i slipped into M&S just to look at their "cosmetic" section and it was worth the time. The SA's were friendly and they dont slink behind u like a shadow. Ok let me confess something.... I have a severe addiction.... An Addiction only to Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizers.... The ONLY downside to it is that it leaves u with very dry hands. And M&S's Hand creme comes to the rescue.

It is named after a beautiful white flower...

I love this cream, it makes my hands soft and the smell is so mild and soothing. Even as I type, it's right next to my computer and i reapply it often.

Yays:

• A beautiful scent that lingers for a while,
• Inexpensive.... Rs.199/-
• Leaves my hands smooth and it really strengthens my nails,
• Easily absorbed as the cream is very light,
• Lovely packaging,
• Hygienic and can be carried in you're bag.

Nays:

• Cant think of any...

Would I Repurchase?

Yes... they have other fragrances. Rose and Lavender. 

P.S: Flower pic is from Google Images

I also picked up a few other things, reviews coming soon.
