In a previous post entitled “Scents that make Cents” we reviewed a few perfumes appropriate for the season, and how to sensibility shop out of fear of commitment and dwindling wallets.
I have fallen ladies! Head over heels, over head over heels . Yes, I have made the commitment. I found the perfect summer scent that I am willing to commit to and purchase in full sized bottles! I know it's incredible; the fragrance fear of commitment no longer applies.
Mr. Genius Ed Hardy's, “Love Kills Slowly”, by Christian Audigier, is the sexiest and sweetest scent of them all. This pink punk perfume is an explosion of tantalizing fruit salad; wild strawberry, ruby red grapefruit and tropical mango. I get comments and compliments everywhere I go from men and women alike. It’s fresh, light, and completely alluring.
Available at fragranceshop.com $35-$75
If you are still looking to save a few bucks, buy the tester. It’s a 100% full bottle of the original genuine scent but it won’t come in its original box. A-And it has the word tester on the bottle. Hey for ¼ of the price, I am willing to deal with that shortcoming.
On a more personal - note ladies and gents, I am now a member of Glamour Magazine's, Glambassador team. It's a nationwide group of style savvy men and women (like myself) who get the inside scoop on; products, places, sales, steals and deals, within the beauty and style industry. The fantastic part about it is, I am here to share this priceless information with all of you.
This past week I was given Target gift cards to distribute with Maybelline New York dollars available. We were encouraged to purchase any Maybelline product we wanted. I opted for the new Maybelline Stiletto Mascara in Black and Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper in Fully Blushed #115 available for $8.85 and $6.85 at target and local drugstores.
I am not crazy over the lash Stiletto mascara, it's really nothing special. I think they spent more money in advertising and packaging then on the actual formula and brush. It's just basic mascara. It won’t give you the ridiculously long and luxurious lashes they claim. However it does cover well and clumps minimally. I wouldn't recommend it. I give Maybelline's Stiletto Mascara 2 out of 5 kisses.
I enjoyed Maybelline's Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper. It has a great thick creamy formula that covers and coats the lip completely. The color is saturated and rich and leaves your lips looking lustrous and seductive. The plumper is quite strong and will tingle while drawing the blood to your lips creating a swollen effect. Great for you, bad for kissing your partner. Pulling away after a long smooch, your lovers mouth will feel numb and uncomfortable.... oops. Not a first date lip gloss ladies, strictly look don't touch.
I give Maybelline’s Volume XL Seduction Plumper 5 out of 5 kisses.... only if you aren't planning on kissing.
