I was looking for the best acne treatment but got distracted instead by Marc Jacobs New Collection 2010 Splash fragrance at the local mall. Truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of Marc Jacob till a friend bought a jacket from Marc Jacob’s boutique one spring.
The girl at the counter told me that this Splash collection for spring/summer was from last year and they brought it back because there was a new addition to it. I had fun trying out the Apple and Pomegranate fragrance and liked the freshness of the perfume and the color stylist boxes. At $86 a bottle – i can definitely see some people buying them. I like the Apple best because of its refreshing fruity smell. They are limited edition – so get it while it last.
I used to buy perfumes at every DFS shop in the airport – you see i used to travel a lot for work – but now that I don’t and of course, not making as much money to splurge, one can only buy them when you find a good deal for it right? Plus someone who did green study told me once that too much perfume in the environment can hurt the environment…?? So this is my current excuse for only buying perfumes when it is a very good deal.
So just after Christmas – a good deal came along and i tested a few and ended up buying the one i like most – the Burberry Weekend. The smell? it’s light .. and citrusie and also a woody smell after a few mins. The woody smell was what attracted me to it . At $20 – I think I got the best deal, so yes, perfumes need not be expensive, if you wait long enough or be at the shop at the right time, you will get great deals.
You all should know by now.. that i’m a huge fan of Calvin Klein. I’ve been using Eternity for ages now.. more than 10 years to be exact. Although Calvin Klein has more than just Eternity.. i am stucked with Eternity.. because the rest of the perfume… just donch entice me enough. Having said that.. I think this new Spring Temptation may be a new bottle that i may come to like.
Love the bottle..and love the light floral fragrance too. It’s a great going for cocktail after work perfume.. and even if you wear it first thing in the morning.. it would leave one feeling really fresh.. with a great start for a day’s work. And I know a Chicago injury lawyer wearing it too.
Was out looking for office furniture and came back to the store with this Donna Karan’s Be Delicious. It isn’t new at all .. this perfume, in fact it was launched in 2004. You must be wondering why i took so long to try it.. ?? well.. as you all know.. i’m into the don’t need to be expensive to look and feel good about oneself right..?? But since it was on sale .. and came with some body lotion.. i saw it as a treat to myself.
The Delicious Series was named because of the inspiration of New York City.. “The Big Apple” that everyone calls it. Don’t the perfume look like a green apple to you ..?? albeit having a metallic cover. Smells a wee bit like apple and some exotic flowers .. with some wood smell.. but not the woody smell that the men like .. almost sensuous. If you had seen the commercial.. you will know why .. they said it’s so delicious .. i just wanna take a bite – corny eh..? At $68 .. not a bad price.
Nice packaging not..??

The bottle was so cute.. !!! i was really tempted to buy it. But do anyone buy the perfume.. just because the bottle is cute..?? i took a sniff on an open bottle.. and it had like an orangy smell to it. It was also on sale.. for like $29.99 .. but i really didn’t take to the smell to well.. it reminds me of a perfume bottle that i had bought .. when i was in New Brunswick many years ago.. and it’s still there.. unused. And I told yer.. right.. i do buy discounted perfume.
Told yer.. i was gonna check it out.. but i wasn’t really impressed. Seriously, the perfume didn’t really smell like something i would like a lot… and i feel like i was actually only paying for the pretty bottle. I mean it fascinates me now.. but i know it is only gonna go on my dresser .. and collect dust.. plus I am not gonna pay $49 for a cute figurine eh.
The perfume is inside the dolls.. so you can imagine how small a bottle they are eh. Only 15 ml i think… and $49 !!!! but most importantly like i said.. the smell wasn’t what i had expected .. nor something i went like wow..!!! i have to have it. I think i am still a very much Eternity and Dune kinda woman.
The packaging is not the prettiest.. but if you’ve been to Tokyo, Japan .. to the Harajuku Station .. you will probably understand the packaging a lot better. True to its name .. Harajuku.. it’s pretty much identify with the mode.. and the spirit and color at the Harajuku station in Japan.
So yes..! you heard right.. ! i looked out for discounted perfume.. or perfume on sales.. and when i was back home.. they had a place for discounted perfume.. and discounted skin care.. in a place near Clarke Quay.. but i heard they closed shop .. even before i left for Canada.
Well.. coming back to the present.. do you buy discounted perfume..?? or you just buy whatever you fancy..?? i used to buy them from the airport. .since i traveled so much for work.. and i buy whatever i liked.. since at that time.. i had a really good paying job.
Some may think that discounted perfume are not that good anymore.. but i’m tell yer.. it’s not true.. i’ve bought discounted perfume.. at as much as 50% discount.. and they still were good.. and lasted till the last drop. So there.. you have the expert opinion.. about discounted perfumes.. but for skin care lotions.. now that’s another story.. for another day.
The local shoppers drug mart is having this exclusively in Canada.. and at $49 a bottle. I think i am attracted to it all because of the cute bottles.. so i’ll be sure to go at least see it and smell the scent before deciding weather to buy it or not. The babysitter would sure be amused with the doll-like bottle.
She is called G, and she comes with a fresh coconut, jasmine and cotton woods. Quite cute eh.
This figurine i love best.. i think i kinda identify with this figurine. She is called Love and it is said that she is a sweet, caring and free – spirited. Hehehe!! that’s funny.. !! i liked this figurine even before i read what Love represented. And her scent is of a floral bouquet with pink pomelo, rose and creamy vanilla orchid.
Lil’ Angel sure doesn’t look like an angel to me eh… hahah!! For the caring and compassionate like lil’ angel and sporty as well. And she smells like a citrus floral, a twinge of pineapple, candied violet and lollipop.
Now she certainly looks like a tough cookie..! and she is called Music. I would love to be like music .. and always looking to make someone laugh. She smells fruity and floral.
Teenagers would love Baby.. since Baby is supposed to have the boys in her palm. You want to smell flowery and powdery kind too.. like a baby..!! like its name..! oh.. so well named too. With white rose , orange flower.. and white musk.. i may buy this too.
From Body Shop.. this cute fabric mirror is definitely stylish.. and cute.. and feminine. For only $8.00 this feminine lightweight mirror with floral fabric covering can be yours.. and be bought at the Body Shop. I like that it has a cover for the mirror.. that way you mirror.. don’t have to be dirtied by your other cosmetics… in your cosmetic bags.
Yes.. i do love perfumes as you can see. Miracle is so refreshing and simply flowery. It’s light and can be worn for all occasion but i find t hat wearing it at night is more suitable. It smells really fresh and abit like lychee and freesia. Unfortunately, the perfume do not last for long like some perfume that I had worn before. At only $57 for a 30ml, you may want to remember to buy them.. when you are at the airport, shopping at those DFS shops.
