Fragrance of the Week : Marc jacob Daisy Sorbet 

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hello Dolls,

Spring / Summer is all about fresh, clean and floral and this is what I  found the most flattering scent for the season.

Daisy Sorbet by Marc Jacob.

This season treat yourself to a delectable spring experience. The limited-edition Marc Jacobs Daisy Sorbet is a lovely blooming bouquet that blends a rich floralcy with smooth sensuality. The fragrance is a bright, whimsical interpretation of the original with a creamy undercurrent of pure, unadulterated delight. The bottle reflects the joy of spring; the iconic tactile daisies deck the cap in spring colors that balance the soft, lilac-tinted juice.

Notes :~
Top Notes : Pear and Passion Fruit with sparkling Pink Grapefruit.
Heart Notes : Wisteria, Jasmine and Lily of the valley,
Base Notes : Violet Wood and Cedarwood create a mossy, spring-time warmth softened by Sheer Musks.

Packaging : Cute 50ml transparent bottle, with pastel pink liquid and ofcourse the eye catching flower cap 💗💗

My thoughts

I can say ~ Spring in the bottle 💛 this gorgeous is my Go-to for this spring / summer ✨
described as lovely, smooth, and sensual.

It’s very pleasant and light.
when ever I spray this on a hot humid day, I always get asked what I’m wearing. On me I get the floral burst first followed by pear and finally finished with a sexy jasmine & creamy musk scent by the end of the night.
Not at all over powering, the light notes that make it smell like spring scent as fresh and fun

Absolutely gorgeous, and the sillage is very impressive.
Longevity : 6 hours

Truly as it’s described 💗

For lovers of brilliant floral scents, definitely give it a try and be ready to fall in love.

Not to forget , Its limited edition😁 so grab it asap
You can never go wrong with Marc Jacob its love at first sniff.

Lips are lovingly drenched in a burst of hydrating moisture as luscious honey nectar and new matte agents combine with mattifying milk to replace the drying powders found in the old matte lipsticks. Lips are silky smooth with a fabulous hydrated comfort that’s never drying, never draggy, just moisturized and fresH


MAT5  Classic Red with a touch of pink, for that pop for color this summer

MAT6
 Brownish Red great for any skintone

My thoughts:- 
As Few of you might know I’m a MaTTE LOVER, I cannot stand glossy lips🙊

~ Zahra S ~ 1 Comment

 Miller Harris recently launched the vibrant ‘Le Jardin D’enfance’ collection in Dubai.
And hosted an elegant afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason. 

   
     The Three perfumes from the collection; 

•Coeur de jardin
•Cassis en feuille and 
•Poirier d’un soir

Description:-
A Britain perfumer Lyn Harris was founded Miller Harris in 2000.

Its has 37 perfumes in which the earliest edition was created in 2000 and the newest is from 2015.
Miller Harris is transforming our harsh urban world into a riot of fragrance and color, evoking the senses with Le Jardin d’Enfance. Each scent is reminiscent of a different moment in time; the green morning dew of Cassis en Feuille, the daytime warmth of Coeur de Jardin and the honeyed dusk of Poirier d’un soir.

 
Coeur de jardin described as Chypre Floral 
Cassis en feuille described as Floral, Woody and Musky
&
Poirier d’un soir described as Oriental Spicy.

My thoughts on Casiis en Feuille :-

Top Notes :- bergamot and  Cassia
Heart Notes :- tomato leaf, geranium and rose
Base Notes :- musk and cedar.

Packaging:- sleek and classic square glass bottle 

Im a musky-woody- florally fragrance lover!!
For me this scent is very clean-fresh-green 

It has a very unique smell.
If you are a fan of that fresh, floral & Green💚then this one is definitely one to pick up.

It smells like rainy forest in early spring morning. I don’t know wether I love it or just like it ( still deciding ) 😁 
This is a very linear, what you smell on top is what you get with a bit of bergamot entering the picture after an hour and hints of woods in the dry down but with the tomato and cassia leaves still dominating. 
I often use it as a room spray when I need to clear my head and relax. Its really refreshing 

Overall, I think I might use it ONLY for summery day time, for that extra greeny freshness 💚

Sillage: Moderate, fresh.
Longevity : 4-5 hours
Ratings : 4/5

Available at Bloomingdales across UAE

What you think about this perfume ? 😃💚

Who doesn’t like a sun-kissed glow?

No Doubt!!! Makeup For Ever cosmetics are always famous for their HD foundations and powders. But this time they amazed us with their newly launched bronzers. Have a look

Make Up For Ever PRO Bronze Fusion
Developed with a breakthrough formula, the NEW PRO Bronze Fusion is a waterproof and sweatproof gel-compact bronzer that delivers a natural sun-kissed effect in just minutes. Its light compact texture melts instantly into the skin giving a boost in a silky smooth effect with no powdery finish. Not only this, its waterproof characteristic allows for a longer and optimal hold in any weather condition without leaving a trace or streaks.

The texture of MUFE PRO BRONZE fusion is buttery smooth which indeed blends like a dream, easily picked up on the brush. With this bronzer, I need just one swipe because it is deeply pigmented and builds up nicely.It’s not an intense tanned look but gives gorgeous sun-kissed effect.

Its perfect combination of straight and wavy fibers guarantees you looking tanned and not like you are wearing a bronzer by taking just the right amount and applying it with no risk of application lines.
MUFE Brushes are just so soft, easy to work with! I Know they are over priced 🙈 but sometimes its worth every single penny.

its great to achieve natural bronzed look when you’re in a hurry & also it hasn’t had one hair fall out which is very impressive!

Mini Review / Swatches : Rimmel London SS15 Lipsticks 

~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

This season I’ll be adding two of my favorite drugstore brand lipsticks to my go-to list

Rimmel london 
As the temperature rises, lips go brilliantly bright.

Rimmel introduces its new Kate Bright SS15 Collection for lips, an exotic palette of precious shades created by the style icon herself, Kate Moss.

My Thoughts:-

Two Flattering lipstick shades

IMG_3317

Nice change for spring and summer, moving away from the reds I’ve worn this past winter.

Both lipsticks are satin finish which means it is neither matte or too creamy
Kate Moss : #35

The color is cool toned pink with a tiny hue of lavender, kinda pastel pink
      

Kate Moss : #37

I must say this color totally caught my eye
Its orangy-coral 😁 

really flattering shade for every skintone ❤️

Overall,

I love the Rimmel london Lasting finish lipsticks by Kate Moss, I have almost all the colors from her collection..Both #35 & #37 goes well with loads of different make-up looks Day or night

it smells so good & the creamy formula feels comfortable on lips,
Perfect bright and fresh colors great for summer.

and if you want to be a bit more creative add a pop of orangy-coral to the centre of a pink lips 💋
