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 



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.

Fragrance Collection: 2016 Preview

Hello Divas!

Welcome to my Fragrance Collection for 2016. This is merely a preview and I will go into depth on each fragrance in a later post.

Here are all the fragrances, some are in the boxes so you can see what the box looks like.

I know this is a small collection but I wanted to keep it wearable as well. I have seen many collections where the owner has way too many fragrances and does not even use them. I do not want this collection to be like that. I want to use the fragrances that I have on a daily basis, so that I am not just collecting things to have them.

Here are the fragrances all out of the boxes.

I will do an individual review of each scent so that you can get a better idea of what I like. So far I love every perfume or body mist that I have and  I would like to keep it that way.

You will also notice that I have smaller bottles of many scents. The reason for this is I think when you have many of them they tend to last a long time. Over time the scent goes bad, so I would rather have smaller bottles that I know I can use before the scent changes.

Do One Simple Beauty Ritual Every Day

Hello Divas!!

It can look like it takes a lot of work to look great every day and sometimes it does. But you can make your beauty routine take a little less work if you take the time to do one simple beauty ritual every day.

Teeth
Divas have great looking teeth and one of the easiest ways to get that look is to whiten your teeth. I personally use Crest Whitestrips every year to whiten my teeth and the results last all year long.

I get the strips a few months before my birthday in July and I apply them every other day until the box is used up. I get beautifully whiter teeth for only a few minutes every day and then I don't have to think about it for the rest of the year.

Skin
One thing I do EVERY day is to make sure my face is clean before I go to bed. Even if I have been lying around in bed all day (and took a shower in the morning) and don't shower before bed I will wash my face before I hit the sheets.

I also make sure to MOISTURIZE before going to sleep so that my face stays nice and moist while I sleep. This allows for deep penetration of all the skin goodies in my face cream and I wake up with dewy, moist skin.

Nails
I have horrible, flat nails that break and do not grow at all. I do not wear fake nails and since nail polish seems to flake off my nails in two days I opt for clear polish.

I make sure to reapply my nail polish every three days and completely take it off on the weekends to allow my nails a time to rest.

Product Review: Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna

Hello Divas!!

I love perfume and I think that one of the marks of a true diva is that she ALWAYS smells great. This can be achieved through a variety of things like:
-lotions
-perfumes
-body sprays

but the important thing is to always smell nice.

I love getting perfume samples in the mail and I just one for Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna.



I opened the paper pouch and sniffed...and I must say that I am not impressed. The bottle leaves something to be desired in my opinion and I an confused by the swirling black and gold and brown tones.

I smelled the perfume and while it is okay it is not to my taste so it is not something that I would run out to buy.

It is a bit on the heavier side with regards to scent so I guess it for the evening or night use. It does smell sexy and sensual so those of you who like that thing should go ahead and give it a try.

It has faint (to me) tones of musk and something sweet like vanilla but it is definitely a scent for the BOLD divas out there.
