Rituals is one of my favorite bath and body brands. So, when they contacted me about reviewing their Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu, light bed and body perfume, I was thrilled! After all, what in the world is “light bed and body perfume?”

I love fragrance, in the form of perfume. I also love home fragrance, but all in one? I was not really sure what to expect. I was thrilled when I found Rituals Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu light bed and body perfume worked as a beautiful, light citrus body fragrance and also worked well as an air freshener for the bed. Love that!

Since Rituals Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu light bed and body perfume is safe on textiles, hence the designation “bed perfume,” It is OK to spray on after getting dressed; or even when wearing crisp, white clothing! Ritual Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu light bed and body perfume is made to be sprayed on both the body and fabric. This means that is will not stain textiles (fabric) and does not contain alcohol. This added benefit makes it ideal for sensitive skin. Love that!

The Mandarin & Yuzu scent is fresh and pretty. I am looking forward to trying more products by Rituals in this fragrance group. I am also looking forward to trying more light bed and body perfume from Rituals!

Chanel Intention nail polish is a new, neutral nail polish hue from Chanel. The sparkling, peachy hue was introduced as a late fall 2014 color.

Chanel Intention nail polish is limited edition and an ideal nail polish color to add to your nail color wardrobe by offering a slight twist on classic nude nail polish. Instead of offering a beige base, Chanel Intention offers a sweet, peachy hue which acts as a nude yet steps outside the traditional nude nail polish boundaries. Intention by Chanel has a slightly sparkling yet creamy finish with high gloss shine. It is a great color to have as an alternative to nude nail polish this season.

I tested out Chanel Intention nail polish from the late fall 2014 beauty collection with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted five days before chipping. Since the color is soft, the chips were extremely unnoticeable. Love that!

The verdict? Chanel Intention nail polish is a fabulous nail polish color to keep on hand for those times when you feel like a nude nail polish, but want something with a little more sass.

Chanel Exception nail polish late fall 2014 review

Chanel Exception nail polish fall 2014

Chanel Exception is one of three nail polish hues from Chanel’s late fall 2014 beauty collection. The nail polish collection features classic hues in burgundy, red and dark nude. Exception is a pretty, mid-burgundy color which offers a flat, timeless hue.

Burgundy is arguably the most important color of the classic autumn hue spectrum. Every fall season we enjoy clothing and accessories in vibrant shades of burgundy, oxblood and maroon. Therefore, it is no wonder that a fall nail polish hue should be part of any nail polish collection. Chanel rarely offers a burgundy in their red nail polish collection. Normally, Chanel offers every shade of classic red imaginable; without crossing into burgundy territory. Although there have been a few burgundy’s over the past decade, it has not been offered as much as classic red.

Exception by Chanel is a beautiful nail polish hue which is both classic and ideal for the current season. This pretty interpretation of burgundy is easy to wear and works well with all of autumn’s hues. Chanel Exception nail polish is also a great investment color to keep in ones’ nail polish collection. 

I tested out Chanel Exception nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The nail polish held up really well and did not chip until the sixth day. Love that!
