Strangelove NYC Lost in Flowers Perfume Review

March 31, 2018

Strangelove NYC Lost in Flowers

When I first tried the Strangelove NYC line¹, I was immediately drawn to Lost in Flowers, a gorgeous floral. One thing I learned about this brand is that it does contain a high amount of naturals so patience is key. This means that these will change on your skin so a first impression is only that, a first impression.

I’m lost in flowers as soon as I put on Lost in Flowers. It’s a fresh, heady white floral that smells realistic, like standing in the… Continue reading

Amouroud Safran Rare Perfume Review

August 3, 2017

Amouroud Safran Oud

Amouroud Safran Rare is getting some buzz in the Perfume World and for a rightful reason: It smells good.

The opening of Safran Rare reminds me of if you had a really fancy perfume sample and spilled all in the bottom of your new leather bag. It’s spicy and slightly floral, but overall, it’s very leathery. There’s a prominent raspberry note. It wears as a leathery saffron with a lift from dry spices and a lemon-y frankincense. The heart introduces a jammy rose (like roses, honey… Continue reading

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly Perfume Review

June 26, 2017

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly

To refresh your memory, I really was not a fan of the signature Tory Burch perfume. Looking back at my review, I guess I was unjustly harsh. But, that was how I felt at the time. I didn’t expect to like that fragrance because I’m not a fan at all of the Tory Burch aesthetic (even though there are plenty of people that successfully pull off this preppy, waspy, colorful 1970’s looks). When I received a sample of Love Relentlessly, I didn’t think I’d even try it… Continue reading | 12 Comments

The Lipstick League – week of 11.28.16

Question of the Week: Spill it! What beauty products did you buy during Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday?

EauMG’s Answer: It was tough, but I kept it under control. I bought one of those Black Friday boxes from Memebox. I don’t need any of its contents but it’s the novelty. I classified that purchase into my “entertainment budget”. YSL had 20% off. I bought YSL Opium Body Oil because I didn’t know

The Lipstick League – Week of 12/30/2013

The Lipstick League – week of 12.30.13

Question of the Week: What do you think is going to be the biggest beauty trend in 2014?

EauMG’s Answer: I haven’t really kept up with trends other than runway which as you know, rarely translates to real life. I do think updated “90’s” will be sh*t this year. So expect to see more matte brick lips and rusty shadows. And brows, thick brows. I also think we’ll see some fun stuff like white eyeliner and baby blue
