  Date: 2010.10.05 | Category: fragrance | Response: 7

  

  A Beautiful Life Smitten perfume oil is described as “feminine, fresh, and sexy – like the blush of first love or the sultry promise of a summer night“. It is a tart citrus floral fragrance with an earthy base from New Jersey located hipster cosmetic/fragrance brand, A Beautiful Life or ABL.

  When I first apply Smitten, I get peppery tangerine juice. It is a sparkling citrus and very easy to identify as tangerine. But, it has an earthy vibe… Continue reading | 7 Comments

• Ligne St.Barth Vanille (Vanilla) Body Lotion Review

  Date: 2010.01.14 | Category: body products, fragrance | Response: 2

  

  I apologize ab out not updating my blog. I’ve been sick and really in no place to trust my sniffer. I’m feeling better and I’m trying to catch up.

This is definitely a vanilla scent. It’s sweet but not as sweet as other vanilla scents on the market that are trying to resemble baked goods. This is a nice tropical vanilla. It reminds… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Epices d’Hiver Parfum Review

  This is an all natural fragrance that is in Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH “Gaia Perfume Collection”. This is as the name applies, a spicy fragrance.

You can smell bitter oranges, blood oranges, perfumey bergamot, and grapefruit. It… Continue reading | 4 Comments

  Weekly Cheap Secret:

  I love a multi-purpose product. And I love a multi-purpose product that retails for under $2. Africa’s Best Ultimate Herbal Oil is a must have for me. It is a super rich blend of oils and herbs multi-purpose oil. I use it as a cuticle oil, a hot oil hair treatment, and I just use it as a body moisturizer. It is great to have around in the winter when my skin gets ashy and itchy. It’s an oil so yep, it’s greasy. I love oils. Nothing makes my… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Mrs. Meyer's Liquid Dish Soap in Geranium

  Date: 2009.01.11 | Category: fragrance | Response: 2

  

  So my fragrance obsession is involved with every aspect of my life. Even boring things like keeping house and cleaning. I wash my stone and tile floors with warm water and dish soap. I was using some boring ole generic orange stuff. I thought if I am going to have to spend like an hour on my knees scrubbing floors I want a nice fragrance experience. That’s where Mrs. Meyer’s came in. I chose the geranium scent because it is such a romantic rose fragrance that reminds me of summer time and farmer’s… Continue reading | 2 Comments
