Do you love warm, woody florals? I do! I was so excited when I learned Lancome had released a new woody floral. This beautiful fragrance, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp, is a warm, woody floral with a smooth base. It has a classic vibe, and seasonless scent. Love that!

I am excited about Lancome Idole L’Intense edp since it is a woody floral we can all wear now, during the cold winter months. It’s a warm fragrance, which is ideal on a cool day. Due to the jasmine and rose top notes, this woody floral is a versatile fragrance which will enable it to also be worn during moderate and warm temperatures. I would wear it up to about 85 degrees. After 85 degrees, I prefer to move into nautical, and fruity scents which only work on hot days. Love!

Top notes: Sensual Isparta Rose, Fresh Jasmine

Middle notes: Warm Musks

Base notes: Cedar, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla

After about one minute, Lancome Idole L’Intense edp settles into a warm, musky floral with a slight vanilla and wood scent. As the day progresses, it cycles through a warm, musky fragrance experience which is smooth and rich. I love the lingering cedar and vanilla laced into the musk at the end of the day. The edp formula is long lasting, so it will not need to be reapplied during the day. You can spray it on at 7am and still enjoy it at 10pm.

If you love a good woody floral, this is your new scent! It will also make a fabulous gift. Lancome offers several gift box choices which are perfect for any holiday during the year. I highly recommend trying this scent. I rate it five out of five stars! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dior spring 2021 nail polish

The Dior spring 2021 nail polish collection is here! These colors are so pretty and happy. Love happy colors!

Spring 2021 is all about hope and renewal in my eyes. We have a vaccine getting distributed, and the end of this shut down seems closer than ever before. I am optimistic about getting back to a normal life with my kids in school, in sports, and having the freedom to travel and gather with friends and family. With this optimism, comes an urge to dress in more uplifting colors, and find ways to create a cheerful environment. These two spring hues from Dior are exactly what I need! I am sure you do too!

For spring 2021, Dior created two pretty and cheerful hues for their spring beauty collection. Coral Peony is a light and bright orange-pink which is great for warm days, and a cheerful attitude. If you are interested in a more edgy color, Pink Sakura by Dior is a bright, almost-hot-pink. This is definitely the “notice me” hue of the collection. Love it!

The nail polishes from the Dior spring 2021 beauty collection are both cream polishes. I tested them with one base coat, and two coats of color. I skipped the top coat. As with all Dior nail polishes, they are sturdy and chip-resistant. I also found the cream nail polish applies evenly without streaking.

So, without further ado, here is my Dior nail polish spring 2021 collection review!

Dior nail polish spring 2021 | Dior Coral Peony

Dior Coral Peony nail polish is a pretty orange-pink nail polish which is cheery and happy. I love the lighthearted hue of this nail polish! This is a great color for warmer days; or even to lighten up a dark winter day as we head towards spring.

Dior nail polish spring 2021 | Dior Pink Sakura

Pink Sakura by Dior is a bright and bold pink nail polish for spring 2021. I love this unapologetic hue. It is a great way to brighten up your spring style, as well as your day! Dior Pink Sakura nail polish is also a great color to wear in both the spring and summer months as it is also a color we often see in summer nail polish collections. This makes it a great investment color for the entire spring/summer season. Love!

Mischo nail polish review

mischo nail polish review nyfw

How fun is this deep, dark, navy blue.  I’m loving the hue! In my quest for the new, upcoming spring 2021 nail polish colors, I came across this beauty brand for the first time. Mischo Beauty offers several pretty nail polish colors, all reasonably priced at $20. I was intrigued when I saw this deep navy blue color; after all, it is named after one of my favorite events of the year, #NYFW, so you know I had to buy it! Love that!

Mischo nail polish is ten free, and it is made in the USA. You know I love products made in the USA! This cream nail polish applies smoothly, without streaking. This is really important because dark cream polishes can often streak; this one does not. I was able to apply one base coat and two coats of color without having to go back over any spots. The first coat was even, so when I went to apply the second coat of color, it was a breeze!

Shop Mischo nail polish online:

I am really happy with how pretty this manicure came out. Mischo nail polish applies really well, and offers a beautiful saturation of color. The brush is easy to handle, making polishing a breeze. I will definitely be on the lookout for new colors to come out from the brand! If you are looking for a great nail polish at a good price, this is a fabulous brand to try out. You will love the even application and color saturation. I know I do!

Stay tuned for my spring nail polish reviews later this month!

Thanks for stopping by!
