Necessaire body cream review

pictured: Necessaire body cream / nail polish /

I have finally found the perfect unscented body cream! Love!

It always seems like body cream scents and perfumes clash. I am not a fan of perfumed body cream because it never quite captures the scent of the perfume in the bottle. I know perfumers try to match the scents, but they always seem off.

Then, to frustrate me more, many so-called unscented body creams still have a scent, which is usually downright weird. So, when I tried Necessaire’s body cream, I was thrilled! There is no scent other than an extremely faint creamy scent you have to put your nose in it to detect. Love this!

In addition to being truly unscented, Necessaire body cream is moisturizing, smooth, and luxurious to use. Love it!

I have found my new favorite body cream! Now, I can spray any perfume I want, and the scents won’t clash. I get the true fragrance from the bottle I am spraying Love that!

So, if you are on the hunt for the perfect unscented body cream, look no further. I found it for you! You can find Necessaire body cream online here. Love it!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you love it too!

Chanel nail polish holidays 2025 review

chanel holidays 2025 nail polish review

Chanel’s 2025 holiday beauty collection is here! In this cosmic beauty collection, Chanel has given us two unexpected nail polish hues for the holiday season, Alchimiste and Cosmique.

Normally during the holidays we see nail polish hues in shades of red, metallics, greens, and the like. This season, Chanel is giving us a deep, dark purple and an orange-red metallic. Quelle surprise!

I have to admit, I am in love with Chanel Cosmique. Since Chanel didn’t give us fall nail polish colors, this hue is perfect to wear right now and throughout the cold weather season. It’s perfect for winter too! Love! I feel like it can be festive for the holidays with a sparkling top coat in gold glitter or silver glitter. Hmmmmm. . .

For Chanel Alchimiste, we have an orange-red metallic which glides easily from fall into the holiday season. It is bright and very notice-me!

For both holiday nail polish colors, I used one base coat, and two coats of color. No streaking! Love that!

So, without further ado here are the two Chanel nail polish colors for the 2025 holiday season.

Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho review

Can you tell I have been wearing my Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho edp often? The bottle is getting quite low! I have been wearing Nuits de Noho for years, so I was surprised when I realized I had never reviewed it here on the blog! How did this slip through the cracks?

Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho edp is an unique eau de parfum which has a gourmand undertone on an otherwise fruity floral. This is a complex scent, making it one of my favorite fragrances of all time. The top notes include Mandarin, Bergamot, and Pineapple Leaves. The heart of the fragrance consists of Jasmine and Rosewood. Then the base offers Patchouli, Vanilla and Musk.

Don’t let the jasmine scare you! Sometimes jasmine scents can be too sweet, but not with Nuits de Noho. It a very slight part of the heart making the fragrance smooth and beautiful. This is one of my go-to fragrances despite the fact that I typically shy away from jasmine. Love!

The only reason I can think of not reviewing Bond No. 9 Nuits de Noho sooner is that I bought my first bottle before I started my blog in 2010. I guess better late than never! haha

I hope you love this edp as much as I do, it is one of my all-time favorites!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
