WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea eau de parfum is a fresh, warm weather fragrance from WEN by Chaz Dean. This unisex scent contains fruity fragrance notes which combine to create a light, fresh scent perfect for warm spring days, and hot summer months. Love!

The eau de parfum combination of aloe, cucumber, basil, bergamot, black tea, and neroli, combine to make a long lasting scent which stays fresh, and light, from morning, until evening. I love the blend of notes which offer a clean fragrance experience that is not complex, just fabulous. Love that!

Chaz Dean’s beauty collection launched in 1993 with a line of conditioning shampoos which combine natural, not harsh, ingredients that help maintain your hair’s natural beauty, and oils. With the launch of his fragrance collection, Chaz Dean has remained true to his beauty collection mission to create, and provide, natural products which are good for your skin.

This is important because sometimes we never know what we are spraying on our skin! I love feeling confident about not using weird chemicals on my skin when I spray on WEN Cucumber Basil Tea edp. Who wants unknown chemicals seeping into their bloodstream through their skin? Not me! Not you either! This is why natural, not harsh perfumes are so important to me. I love WEN!

WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea edp is ideal for warm, and hot weather. It is fresh, clean, and long lasting; which makes it perfect for the upcoming summer season. Since it is unisex, it is an easy gift to give for graduation, Father’s Day, an upcoming birthday, or to keep in mind for the upcoming holiday season at the end of the year. Love it!

gucci bamboo edp review

Pictured: c/o Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum / travel size purse spray

Gucci Bamboo edp is the hot new fragrance from iconic design house Gucci. This sweet floral fragrance is feminine, modern, and complex. Although the scent does not resemble actual bamboo, as the name suggests, the overall fragrance experience is sweet; yet balanced out by the sandalwood and amber base. Love!

Bamboo by Gucci has a long lasting fragrance experience which is complex. The slightly fruity top, layered with a hearty, warm and sweet floral heart, anchored by a woody base, gives this perfume the perfect balance between woods, and florals. Love that!

Top notes: Italian Bergamot, Orange Blossom

Middle notes (heart): Casablanca Lily, Ylang-Ylang

Base notes: Sandalwood, Tahitian Vanilla, Amber

Gucci Bamboo is the perfect fragrance for the spring and summer seasons. The combination of woods, and florals, lends well to both moderate, and hot temperatures. The overall fragrance experience is medium strength; which allows Gucci Bamboo edp to be appropriate for the office, luncheons, evening occasions, and weekends.

If you are looking for the perfect summer birthday gift, or a graduation present, Gucci Bamboo edp is a great option! The gift set can be found online here. The perfume is available in a variety of sizes, as well as a travel size. She will love it!

I absolutely love the travel size of Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum. It is perfect for my carry-on when I am traveling by air, and it is also ideal for slipping into a weekend bag for a short road trip. Not only is it the perfect, TSA approved size, the packaging is beautiful! The travel size is pictured above with a full bottle, don’t you just love the pretty bamboo styling! I love it! I cannot wait to keep this bottle with me for all of my upcoming summer trips; as well as fashion week in September! It’s perfection.

Gucci Bamboo eau de parfum can be found online here, here, and here. The purse spray can be found online here.

MAC Moonday nail polish is a sleek, ethereal color from MAC’s summer beauty collection. This sparkling, sheer white nail polish is clean, sleek, and easy to wear everyday. Love that!

I had never tried MAC nail polish before. When I was browsing the nail polishes coming in for the summer season, Moonday by MAC instantly caught my eye. I am always weary of trying new nail polish brands; I never know if they will be chip resistant, or if the color will paint on evenly. Since the color was so captivating in the bottle, I decided it was worth trying out MAC’s summer 2016 nail polish. I am so glad I did!

MAC Moonday nail polish glided on smoothly. The color was even on the first coat; making the second coat more of a coat for color saturation purposes rather than filling in the blanks. I love how perfectly even the polish sets and dries.

The brush is just the right size. It was incredibly easy to use, and kept the mess down to a minimum. The small handle is easy to hold, making polishing a breeze. Love that!

I tested out MAC Moonday nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It is extremely chip resistant. I was able to wear the polish for a full week before needing to remove it due to nail growth. I was thrilled!

Moonday by MAC is a really easy nail polish color to wear on a daily basis. Since it is a sparkling neutral, it matches everything! It is the ideal color to wear on toes during the summer 2016 season since it will not clash with any open toe shoes or sandals. It will also enhance a tan. This is how I plan to wear it this summer. Love that!

I am really happy with MAC’s nail polish, so I am looking forward to seeing what colors they come up with next season. Have you tried MAC nail polish before? If so, what were your thoughts?
