Forever Sexy perfume (product review)

Hello Divas!!

I just wanted to do a brief review of my newest favorite perfume! The perfume I am enjoying now is Forever Sexy by Victoria's Secret.

Here is the front of the bottle 

Victoria's Secret Forever Sexy Eau De Parfum 1.7 Oz Spray New in Box

Now before you laugh you should know this is not a childish scent. I normally stay away from VS scents because they are the typical teenage or undergrad type scent. They usually tend to smell very cheap as well and have that very strong alcohol base which is overpowering.

Not THIS baby!!!

I did not initially like this scent when I first smelled it. In fact it took me two visits to the store to like it. Maybe the first time I had some other issues that prevented me from smelling the true scent of this fragrance.

Here is the back of the bottle

 

The notes in this fragrance are:
  • Belladonna orange
  • Solar gardenia
  • Golden amber

I can definitely smell the orange as the top note and it is the one that stays with me the longest as well. I don't really smell the middle note, which is the gardenia, so I guess that fades quickly for me. The base note of the golden amber stays with me and really mixes well with the belladonna orange.

There is no vanilla (which is my favorite scent) listed here so I think the warm vanilla-type of scent I get is from the amber.

This fragrance lasts about 3 hours on skin and can still be smelled strongly. After that it can still be smelled on the skin but you do need to get close to sniff it. I have worn it for about a 6 hour work day and people could still smell it on me when they huddled around my computer! It was faint on the skin when I shower at night and washes off cleanly, without leaving that odd musky scent that some perfumes leave when you shower.

I also wear it to bed because it is not a very strong, overpowering scent. It lasts nicely through the night and is still faint on the skin in the morning before I shower.

If you want to purchase this fragrance on Amazon, please use my link below..just click on the image and I will get a little referral if you do make a purchase!!!

Get Fitted For A Bra

Hello Divas!!!

I recently went to get fitted for a bra because of my weight changes. I found out I was using the wrong bra in both band size and in cup size.

I could not believe the results that I got since they seemed to indicate that my bosom was larger than I thought.


I did  the first fitting at Dillards and then decided to go to Victoria's Secret later on in the day. I got the same results from both places so I guess they are on the right track.

You may be wearing the wrong size bra if any of the following apply:
  • The  band rides up in the back
  • The straps fall off your shoulders
  • The cups gape
  • The center of the front of the bra does not lie flat against your sternum

A good fitting specialist will be able to look at the bra you are currently wearing and tell you which of the problems apply to it if you are wearing the wrong bra.

In any case I am advising you  to and get fitted for a bra to make sure that you are wearing the correct band size and cup size for your breasts.

All you have to do is to to one of the following stores:
  • Victoria's Secret
  • Dillards
and ask for a bra fitting specialist. They will take you into the fitting room and measure you and then have you try on a variety of bras in the cup size and band size that they make you out to be.

The fitting is free and they recommend that you come in for one at least once a year or any time your weight changes.
