LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit EDP review

One of my favorite fragrance notes is vanilla. So, when I first heard of LaVanila fragrances, I immediately purchased and reviewed their beautiful Vanilla Coconut fragrance for summer. After falling in love with Vanilla Coconut, I was hooked on the entire collection and had to try LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit!

Vanilla Grapefruit is my second fragrance from the LaVanila collection. It has a beautiful fruity gourmand scent which is both refreshingly crisp, and warm. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit eau de parfum offers a fruity gourmand combination of fragrance notes including Pink Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot, Orange, Cedarwood, and Madagascar Vanilla.

This beautiful fragrance offers a warm base of Madagascar Vanilla which offers complex fruit layers on an unique blend of pure essential oils. LaVanila is one of the world’s first healthy fragrances; infusing natural technology from organic sugar cane alcohol; and skin-saving botanicals and antioxidants for a modern twist on the classic art of perfumery. Love!

I love the idea of natural perfume. Not only is the scent pure, real, and not from a lab, it does not leave potentially harmful chemicals on your skin which could be absorbed into your system.

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp is long lasting. The fragrance started off with a fruity zing laced in vanilla. As the day wore on, the vanilla lay softly in the background as different fruit notes cycled through detection. At the end of the day, there was a slight fruit scent laced in a woody vanilla base. Perfect fragrance experience for any weather; warm or cold. Love that!

LaVanila Vanilla Grapefruit edp rates five out of five stars!

LaVanila has a wide range of fragrance products which carry it’s fragrances; complimenting the eau de parfum collection. The collection includes deodorant, roller balls, and body butter.

Chanel Vibrato nail polish for fall 2015 review

Chanel Vibrato is a beautiful new blue hue from Chanel’s late fall 2015 beauty collection; Blue Rythm de Chanel. This fabulous collection features two blue nail polishes, a blue eye quad, blue mascara, and complementing products which aid in creating a smokey eye look. Love that!

Since blue is my favorite color, I was thrilled to find out this collection would arrive in late fall. The two nail polish hues are a-ma-zing! Chanel Vibrato nail polish is a bright, blue hue which is roughly two shades darker than cobalt. It is a fabulous way to brighten up a dark, fall ensemble.

I tested out Chanel Vibrato nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. Chanel Vibrato is a cream nail polish. It applied evenly and streak free. Perfection.

Chanel Vibrato nail polish lasted a full eight days before I needed to remove it due to nail growth. I would also like to credit this fabulous top coat for making the nail polish long lasting, shiny, and perfect.

The bright blue hue on Chanel Vibrato is a great way to add a little color to your fall wardrobe. Fall 2015 has a lot of dark hues, and traditional autumn hues.

Fall’s mix of browns, blacks, dark green, and dark reds, can fade into the background. With Chanel Vibrato nail polish, an outfit is given a little pop of color which makes the whole ensemble complete and beautiful.

I cannot wait to wear Chanel Vibrato nail polish now, and into fall. It is a beautiful blue color, and easy to wear on a daily basis. Love that!

The Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection for fall 2015 is limited edition and only available online here, and here.

Stat tuned! I will be reviewing Chanel Fortissimo nail polish from the Blue Rythm de Chanel beauty collection for late fall 2015 next week!


Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick review

I have heard amazing things about the Charlotte Tilbury beauty collection. This prompted me to want to try out her matte lipstick. I prefer matte lipsticks, and sheer lipsticks, so when I saw how beautiful the Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipstick collection looked, I had to give it a try!

Miss Kensington is the first color which captured my eye from the Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipstick collection. It is a light pink, reminiscent of the pale pinks which were popular in the 1960’s. I love the look!

Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution in Miss Kensington applied smoothly; almost silk-like. I found the lipstick to be long-lasting, as well as moisturizing. Love that!

The matte nature of the lipstick, combined with the pale pink color of Miss Kensington, gives the overall lipstick a natural, easy appearance to wear on a daily basis. This hue is perfect for both daytime and nighttime ensembles; especially in the summer months.

I love the color with my bright summer clothing, I also feel like it will transition into early fall nicely with light autumn colors; as well as neutral apparel. Love that!

I am looking forward to purchasing more from Charlotte Tilbury’s matte revolution collection in the future. I love the lipstick formula, and the color choices are a-ma-zing!

Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipstick in Miss Kensington can be found online here.

There is also a Miss Kensington color collection which can be found online here. This collection looks amazing. It contains the matte revolution lipstick, Colour of Youth Lip & Cheek Colour, Dreamy Glow Highlighter Illuminating Youth Powder, Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow in Jean, Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow in Marie Antoinette, Rock ‘n’ Kohl Iconic Liquid Eye Pencil in Barbarella Brown, and Full Fat Lashes 5 Star Mascara; all in a fabulous Charlotte Tilbury makeup bag. Love!
