OK, raise your hand if you get eaten alive by bugs. My hand is way up! I cannot tell you how annoying it is to be the magnet of a group for mosquitoes and more.

I don’t mind spraying myself with bug spray if I am going camping or hiking, but if I am eating al fresco or going to an outdoor event, I don’t want to be smelly and sticky! Yuck! So, while I love using my bug repellant bracelets for hiking and camping, I want to use something more discreet for a party, patio dining, and the like.

So, when I spotted this Citronelle summer body spray from Diptyque, I was thrilled! It is a non-sticky, perfume-like bug spray! Love that! I can apply it just like I would any EDT or EDP and it works like a charm. I feel like this summer body spray works even better than just putting a candle on the table.

Speaking of candles, Diptyque makes a Citronelle candle too! Love it! Of course, it has the sweet smell of citronella but it looks quite chic in comparison to the typical bug repelling candle. It really does work too. Yay!

In case you are wondering what the summer body spray smells like, well, it smells like a floral citronella candle. It smells a thousand times better than bug spray, in my opinion. That being said, people will guess what you are wearing; not in a bad way. It does smell good! After all, it is Diptyque!

I will rate Diptyque Citronelle summer body spray five out of five stars! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Chanel Fugueuse nail polish review

How pretty is this navy blue hue! This new nail polish color from Chanel is part of their new classic collection and offers rich color saturation as well as a long-lasting formula. As a blue nail polish fan, I am in love!

Chanel Fugueuse is a fabulous navy blue which can worn in any season of the year. My favorite season for dark blue is fall, but it can be worn at any time. There is something neutral about dark and navy blue.

I tested out Chanel Fugueuse nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. The polish went on smoothly and was not streaky. It is a glossy cream polish which offers good color saturation as well as a shiny, glossy finish. Love!

What do you think of Chanel Fugueuse nail polish? Do you love it too?

Chanel Phenix nail polish review 2023

How pretty is this sparkling gold nail polish from Chanel! Now, if you have been a fan of Chanel nail polish for quite some time, you might find the name “Phenix” familiar. Well, you are correct! Chanel used this name for a bright red nail polish back in 2014 for the holiday season. In this new collection released for the summer of 2023, the name has been recycled and is being used for a golden polish numbered 157. The number is different, the name is the same, the color is different. Confusing-yes!

Now that the confusion has settled, let’s talk about this sparkling hue! The new Chanel Phenix 157 is a beautiful and classic golden metallic nail polish. I tested it out with one base coat, and two coats of color. The color saturation is ideal, and the polish glides on smoothly. Love that!

I love golden nail polish because it is a spicy version of a neutral hue. This color is easy to wear on a daily basis and matches most color palettes. It also works well for day into evening wear; especially if you have a formal event to attend and you don’t have time to redo your nails after work before getting ready for the occasion.

Chanel Phenix nail polish is a great color to wear during all four seasons too. You can wear it now, and throughout the summer, fall, and holiday seasons. So, if you are looking for one polish to carry you through the rest of the year, this is it!
