Stella McCartney POP edp review

stella mccartney pop edp review

Fragrance: c/o Stella McCartney POP edp

Stella McCartney POP eau de parfum is a woody floral scent from famed designer Stella McCartney. POP by Stella McCartney is a warm, medium floral fragrance with a warm, woody base. It is a fabulous fragrance to wear now, and well into the fall season. Love!

Top notes: Tomato Leaves, Violet Leaves, Green Mandarin,

Middle notes: Violet, Tuberose, Plumeria,

Base notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musks

Stella McCartney POP edp starts off with a fresh, almost-green scent which is quickly met with the warm, smooth floral scent of violet and tuberose. The plumeria sits softly behind the violet and the tuberose. The floral scent has a slight woody lace throughout the day. After a full day, the florals settle in and you are left with a warm, woody base which is smoothed out by the musk note.

This combination of florals and woods makes POP by Stella McCartney perfect for moderate to cool weather. The scent is warming, yet bold; offering a cozy way to wear florals when the temperatures begin to dip. Love that!

I also would like to give this bottle design a shout out. The bottle evokes a carefree, 60’s vibe which is right in line with our current vintage trend in apparel. I always feel like an outfit is never complete without the right fragrance. POP is easy to wear with fall’s trends, making it the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble this autumn season.

I rate Stella McCartney POP edp five out of five stars! Love it!


Kendra Scott Cool Iridescent nail polish review

Kendra Scott nail polish is here! Can you believe it? Two of my favorite things in the world; Kendra Scott and nail polish, all wrapped up into one! Love!

I have always been a firm believer that jewelry looks better when nail polish is done right. I love metallic nail polish hues with jewelry; and I also love colors which match the stone on one’s rings; can we say lapis nails and a lapis ring! Yes please!

Kendra Scott nail polish just launched on Friday, and the collection could not be more perfect. There is every metallic hue you can thing of; and since metallic polishes are a hot trend for fall, this collection is quite timely. Since I am in a metallic polish mood this season, I tested out Cool Iridescent to see how Kendra Scott’s nail polish holds up.

The new collection of nail polishes by Kendra Scott is five free, this means they do not contain the five harmful chemicals found in many luxury, and drugstore, nail polish brands. It is also not tested on animals, and made in the USA.

Kendra Scott’s nail polish collection in long lasting. I had no problem with chips or nicks. I used one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. I love the sparkling, light silver hue of this polish!

I have more colors from Kendra Scott’s nail polish collection on my wish list, including Blue Lapis, Goldstone, Rose Gold, Gunmetal, Gold Metallic, and Platinum Druzy. Swoon!

I rate Kendra Scott’s new nail polish collection five out of five stars! Love!

You can find the new nail polish collection by Kendra Scott online here.

*If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, come celebrate Kendra Scott’s new store at Santana Row on Wednesday, September 14 from 5pm-8pm. 20% of all proceeds during the event will go to charity Silicon Valley Creates.

My favorite colors from the Kendra Scott nail polish collection:

Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution is one of my favorite lipstick collections. When the hot lips line came out recently, I was excited to see all the beautiful colors! As a matte lipstick fan, I was thrilled to see the colors named after celebrities in wearable, on-trend colors. Love!

All of the colors in the hot lips collection are pretty, but I decided to go with “Kidmans Kiss” since it seemed like a nice pink that would transition easily into the fall season. I am glad I picked Kidmans Kiss! It plays well with fall 2016’s berry hues, and it also blends nicely with the autumn season’s blue color palette.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Hot Lips lipstick in Kidmans Kiss wears well, without clumping, and keeps lips moisturized throughout the day. In addition to being nice to wear, the color has some blue undertones which help make teeth look a bit whiter. Love that!
