How to sample fragrances online

pictured: Twisted Lily Best Sellers Sample Pack c/o Twisted Lily /

Have you ever wondered how to sample fragrances online? It can be challenging to see a perfume online and wonder what it smells like. Should you commit to a full bottle by spending a few hundred dollars? Should you wait to check it out in person but finding the time to go to the mall doesn’t seem to happen? Yup. I’ve been there! While I know which fragrance notes I love in perfume, it can still be a gamble to order a full bottle without testing it first in person. Thankfully, Twisted Lily sells sample packs!

The sample packs online at Twisted Lily take the guesswork out of online fragrance shopping. They have tons of sample packs to choose from on their website! So, when Twisted Lily offered to send me their Best Sellers Sample Pack, I was thrilled! This sample pack features best sellers from their website, and some of them are niche, so they are hard to find in person and sample. This is the best way to test them out! Love!

Most of the fragrances in the pack are unisex, so it’s easy to use one pack for the whole family. We had fun testing the same fragrances on all of us and seeing how they smell different on different people, as well as the difference between how they smell on men vs. women. For example, Montale Parfums Arabians Tonka smelled warm and rich on me yet light and spicy on my husband. It’s amazing how one perfume can react differently on different people. Nevertheless, we both loved how it smelled! I believe my husband is now hinting I invest in a full bottle.

Although the Twisted Lily Best Sellers Sample Pack is sold at a modest price, there will be a coupon sent to you after purchase it which can be used towards a full bottle of the scent you fall in love with. So, it’s actually a great deal! Not to mention super convenient for online fragrance shopping. Love that!

The Twisted Lily Best Sellers Sample Pack includes both famous and niche fragrances which are best sellers at Twisted Lily. Here is a list of what I received: MAISON CRIVELLI Hibiscus Mahajad Extrait, VILHELM PARFUMERIE Poets of Berlin, JUSBOX PERFUMES Carioca Heart, MANCERA PARFUMS Amore Caffe, ROJA Elysium Parfum Cologne, MONTALE PARFUMS Arabians Tonka, FUGAZZI Angel Dust Extrait, CASAMORATI Dama Bianca, MATIERE PREMIERE Vanilla Powder, ETAT LIBRE D’ORANGE Story of Your Life, XERJOFF Torino 21, and MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN Baccarat Rouge 540.

In addition to using this sample pack to test out fragrances before investing in a full bottle, the samples are perfect for travel. They are the perfect size to thrown in our clear bag of beauty products in our carry-on that we use to go through TSA. Love that!

So, if you have been wondering how to sample fragrances online to help you shop for fragrances online, this is the best way!

Thank you for stopping by, and I would love to hear which fragrance you sampled and loved!

Summer dress and boots

wearing: gold hoop earrings / lipstick / blue print dress / summer nail polish / black handbag / black boots /

I am twirling for summer vacation! Two of my three kids had graduations this spring, and one of my kids is away for summer abroad. This is a great summer for all three of my children, which makes it a fabulous summer for me! Love!

In addition, my fabulous friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun has retired, so this twirl is for her too! To celebrate, we decided to meet up and enjoy lunch from the new Sushi Burrito window inside the food court at Valley Fair. It is similar to Sushirrito, so I definitely loved it! The fusion between sushi and burritos is the combo we didn’t know we needed but actually need! Yum!

I originally purchased this dress to wear to my son’ graduation, which was held outside on the football field. But, I have found I love reaching for it and styling it in different ways. For outside events, it’s great with sandals and my straw handbag. For a lot of walking, boots and my Chloe Marcie offer the perfect casual look combined with practical comfort. Since this dress is available in other prints and colors, I might have to pick up a second one for the summer season! Love that!

So, if you are local, check out Sushi Burrito at Valley Fair for a yummy meal!

Thanks for stopping by!

BAF Weekly IT List

Summer is moving along! We are enjoying a mix of neutrals alongside pops of color as well as fun summer prints. It’s a cheery summer when it comes to personal style.

Speaking of personal style, did you read my post on Wednesday? It seems to be the end of the IT era as we currently know it. This doesn’t mean the end of the BAF Weekly IT List. This weekly article is more about what’s trending in general and my top sellers here on the blog as opposed to IT items you see on a celebrity which have the general public clamoring after them. So never fear, this list is not cliche nor will it break the bank for a fleeting item.

Back to style! We are still enjoying the anonymous handbag, oceanic hues for nails, and pops of color mixed with joyful prints. Have some fun with your style this summer season!
