LaVanila Vanilla Coconut EDP review

lavanilla coconut fragrance summer perfume lavanilla coconut vanilla review

Pictured: LaVanila Coconut Vanilla eau de parfum

Two of my favorite fragrance notes of all time are vanilla and coconut. I love vanilla in fragrance during all four seasons of the year. I love the sweet scent, and the warm, cozy vibe vanilla gives off. Another favorite note of mine is coconut. I love coconut during the summer. I associate coconut with an exotic beach, relaxation, pool parties; and everything fabulous about the summer season. This is why I HAD to get my hands on LaVanila Vanilla Coconut eau de parfum.

LaVanila Vanilla Coconut EDP is a dream come true. This sweet scent is ideal for summer. Not only does it offer the warm fragrance of cozy vanilla, it has the coconut scent which is ubiquitous with summer. Love that!

LaVanila fragrances are simple scents. They offer a vanilla heart mixed with one other dominant note. Vanilla Coconut is no different. The notes LaVanila combined to create Vanilla Coconut are:

Notes: Creamy Coconut, Tahitian Tiare Flower, Madagascar Vanilla.

This combination creates a long lasting, vanilla-coconut combination which is easy to wear on a daily basis during the hot summer months. Perfection!

There are many reasons, besides a fabulous scent, to love LaVanila. They happen to create healthy fragrances which infuse organic sugar cane alcohol, botanicals, and antioxidants. Since fragrance is absorbed into the skin, this is huge! After all, who wants strange chemicals getting absorbed into your skin! Ew!

I have found myself wearing LaVanila Vanilla Coconut EDP almost everyday! It is perfect for hot weather, and all of the summer activities which go along with it! I definitely want to test out more from LaVanila.

I rate LaVanila Vanilla Coconut edp five out of five stars!

Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish for summer 2015 review

Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish is a beige color from Chanel’s late summer 2015 collection, “Les Beiges.” This medium beige hue is an instant classic which can be worn as a neutral polish during any season.

This medium beige hue is easy to wear, and plays well with summer 2015’s color palette. In fact, due to the neutral nature of Lovely Beige by Chanel, this nail polish can easily transition into the fall season. If you prefer neutral nails, Lovely Beige by Chanel can be a go-to neutral nail polish during all four seasons. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. It was easy to wear and worked with all of my outfits. Perfection!

Chanel Lovely Beige nail polish is part of Chanel’s late summer 2015 beauty collection “Les Beiges.” Lovely Beige, and the entire “Les Beiges” collection, can be found online here, here, here, and here.


Chanel Precious Beige nail polish for summer 2015 review

Chanel Precious Beige nail polish is one of four new beige nail colors from Chanel’s “Les Beiges” summer 2015 beauty collection. This neutral and classic nail polish collection features a shade of beige for every taste. Love that!

Precious Beige by Chanel is a pale, pinkish-beige color with a very slight sparkle undertone. It is not a cream polish. The slight sparkle is so faint, it registers a 1 on a sparkle scale of 1-10. It is just enough of a sparkle to keep the nail polish from appearing flat and dull on the nail.

Chanel “Les Beiges” collection is perfect for summer 2015 since it provides a variety of neutral colors which can be paired with any color palette. Beige nail polish is also a great color to wear when transitioning from summer into fall. It’s a classic! I can see myself wearing Chanel Precious Beige nail polish in late summer and early fall; when the weather is warm enough to require summer weight attire, yet we all have the urge to wear the new fall season’s styles and color palette. Precious Beige will transition nicely during this time.

I tested out Chanel Precious Beige nail polish with one base coat, three coats of color, and no top coat. The nail polish glided on easily without streaking. Due to the light nature of Precious Beige, two coats did not provide enough coverage; a third coat was a must. The three coats are not bulky, and feel like two coats on the nail; they also look like two coats. This is key, because who wants thick and bulky nail polish! Not me!

Chanel Precious Beige nail polish is an easy color to wear. I have been able to wear any color jewelry and clothing without worrying about my nails clashing with my ensemble. Love that! I also love the fact that Chanel Precious Beige lasted a whopping six days before chipping! My first chip was more of a scratch obtained when attempting to organize a box of mixed-up legos in my children’s playroom. You could barely see the scratch. Precious Beige by Chanel is a strong nail polish!
