Lancome La Vie Est Belle Perfume Review

June 19, 2017

Lancome La Vie est Belle

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

I’m going to be honest, I hated Lancôme La Vie est Belle before ever trying it. Even though I try not to be, I can be extremely shallow and judgey.

Serge Lutens Bas de Soie EDP Perfume Review

March 21, 2012

Serge Lutens Bas de Soie

Purple Flowers Week – 2012

Sometimes I feel bad for the house of Serge Lutens. People expect so much from the house. People only expect dried plums, amber and leather.
