Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper EDT is the new fruity floral fragrance from Korress. This warm, and velvety sweet scent offers a fresh, fruity top which cycles into a warm, floral heart and base. Love it!

Top Notes: Blackcurrent, Cranberry, White Peppercorn

Middle Notes: Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Caviar

Base Notes: Orris Wood, Dry Amber, Musk, Patchouli, Cashmere Wood

It is rare to find a complex fragrance which is formulated correctly. Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Peppers edt is both complex, and beautiful. It offers a fruity top which is laced in a slight, powdery scent. As the day progresses, Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Powder edt cycles through fruity, floral, and woody scents. At the end of the day, the warm, woody base creates a blanket of warmth which is soothing, smooth, and rich.

Although the eau de toilette is beautiful on it’s own, Korress also offers a shower gel, and a creamy body milk to both complement, and layer the Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper scent.

The overall fragrance experience from Korress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper edt is medium strength. This scent can easily be worn to the office, the theater, dinner, and casual, weekend activities. It is an easy to wear, everyday fragrance.

The ingredients are natural too! I love knowing that when I spray on a Korres edt, the liquid being absorbed into my skin is made from natural ingredients. After all, who wants their skin absorbing chemicals? Not me!

I am looking forward to wearing this fragrance throughout the year. The combination of fruits, florals, and a woody base, makes Koress Velvet Orris Violet White Pepper edt transcend season. Love that!

You can find the eau de toilette online here. The shower gel is online here, and the body milk can be found here.

Chanel Emeraude nail polish for summer 2016 review

Chanel Emeraude nail polish is a vivid, dark green nail polish hue from Chanel’s summer 2016 beauty collection. This seemingly autumn hue, is just bright enough to border on a summer green; yet dark enough to be a good transitional color for the late summer, and early fall season. Love that!

While dark green is normally a color we see in the fall season, Chanel has thrown out the notion of traditional seasonal hues, and they have given us a fall brown, as reviewed here, and a fall green; with a twist. Although the summer brown nail polish hue offered an extremely autumn vibe, Chanel Emeraude nail polish offers a mixture of summer and fall; making the shade transcend season.

Chanel Emeraude nail polish is a fabulous color to wear this summer season in contrast to all of the bright colors, and girlish pinks, we are seeing in nail polish this season. Emeraude by Chanel is an evergreen hue, with a slight sparkle undertone, which plays well with summer neutrals, as well as summer brights. It also offers a fresh take on what summer green is supposed to look like.

I tested out Chanel Emeraude nail polish with one base coat, two coats of Emeraude, and one shiny top coat. The nail polish wore well for a full week. I had a little bit of wear on my right hand, but I believe it is from cleaning the kitchen without gloves. I am really bad about wearing gloves to do housework.

This will be a fun color to wear later on in the summer when I start to style my summer clothing in the fall trends. It looks amazing with shades of brown, and summer neutrals. I love the earthy vibe it gives off.

Chanel Cavaliere nail polish summer 2016

Chanel has channeled their autumn archives for inspiration when they created the nail polish hues for their summer 2016 collection; at least, in my humble opinion. Almost every fall season, Chanel creates a beautiful brown nail polish hue which is timeless, and timely, for the autumn season. For summer 2016, Chanel Cavaliere nail polish is the Parisian design house’s early autumn gift to nail polish fans everywhere. It’s a fall brown!

There are no two ways around it; Chanel Cavaliere nail polish for summer 2016 looks like a fall brown. It is a medium-dark hue with a slight, sparkling undertone. It really makes me crave dark chocolate. It is entirely possible I have consumed a bit more chocolate this week than normal. Hmm . . .wonder why?! Ha!

Chanel Cavaliere nail polish is a beautiful, brown hue which is timeless, and fabulous. I love this shade! It is perfect to wear now, if you are already bored of your summer color palette, and it is also perfect to wear during the late summer months when we are all feeling like transitioning into the autumn season. I get August and September vibes from this color. Just sayin’ 😉

Although Chanel Cavaliere nail polish is part of Chanel’s new Longwear colour collection, I have found this particular hue wears like the old Chanel nail polish formula. I tested it out with one base coat, two coats of Chanel Cavaliere, and one gleaming top coat. I received one chip on my left pinky, and it wore slightly at the tips of the nails. The entire home-manicure lasted for eight days; which is quite good.

I love Chanel Cavaliere nail polish as a neutral hue for the fall season; I also feel like it would be a good color on toe nails since it is neutral. It should not clash with any summer footwear; that is always a plus!

Until I transition to fall, I will be using Chanel Cavaliere as my go-to toe nail polish. When autumn approaches, I will go back to my hands. What do you think of this very-autumn-hue for the summer 2016 season?
