Alexander McQueen eau de parfum is a beautiful, floral fragrance made in France. The floral mix of fragrance notes features a timeless combination which is subtle, and easy to wear on a daily basis. This could easily become your signature fragrance!

I tested out Alexander McQueen edp by first spraying it on around 7am. The scent was soft yet complex. Due to the high quality ingredients in Alexander McQueen eau de parfum, the fragrance lasted throughout the day, and well into the night. It is always fabulous when you don’t have to reapply a perfume during the day. Love that!

Alexander McQueen eau de parfum is a combination of Sambac Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang. The combination of these three florals offers a vintage, timeless fragrance experience which is easy to wear to the office, in tight quarters such as the theater, and for casual weekend activities. Since it is such a classic scent, Alexander McQueen eau de parfum can be worn for any style of occasion from a casual weekend picnic to a formal gala event.

This has turned out to be my new go-to fragrance for the winter season. I rate Alexander McQueen eau de parfum five out of five stars! Love!

Essie Party on a Platform review

essie party on a platform winter 2017

Pictured: nail polish c/o Essie Party on a Platform for winter

Essie Party on a Platform nail polish is a beautiful red color with slightly pink undertones. This classic red hue is part of Essie’s winter collection which is filled with on trend, and classic winter colors. Love it!

As with other Essie nail polishes, Party on a Platform is long lasting, and chip resistant. I was able to wear Essie Party on a Platform for a full week without getting any chips. The polish stayed chip free without the use of a top coat, I only used one base coat and two coats of color. I changed my nail color since my nails were starting to grow, and show. I love long lasting polish!

This is a fabulous color to wear now, and throughout the winter and holiday seasons. It will look amazing at holiday parties, on Christmas day, or New Years Eve with a sparkling top coat such as Essie Luxeffects. This would turn Party on a Platform into a festive, holiday mani!
