I have to have this perfume! Elie Saab “La Perfum”

Today I bought Vogue from October’11, with great Adele on the cover. I love the way she looks and her make up! Someday I will try to do her make up and post it here…

Anyway, I was reading Vogue and saw an advertisement for the new perfume of Elie Saab, called “La Perfum”.

It was with a little sample, that I tested straight away… I did not expect anything special, rather some perfume similar to CK Beauty or Chloe edp or Chloe Love (also on my wishlist)... not that I do not like these two perfumes.. but they are ment to be clasics ones, that you know what to expect..
To my surprise I was overwhelmed by the bright orange blossom and jasmine notes – it reminded me of a mix of Alien T.Mugler, but then I felt some sweet honey note like in Estee Lauder Sensuous and in the end some musky, rosy and patchouli notes from Narciso Rodriguez for Her. I am not surprised abut the last notes of this perfume as it has been created by great nose, Francis Kurkdjian, who is responsible for the Narciso Rodriguez for Her.

Anyway, this perfume is quite laud and glamour, with some great honey liquorish woods.. It would be great perfume for winter time and cashmere pullover..

I also think Anja Rubik, Polish model, is doing great job being a face of Ellie Saab “La Perfum”.



Although if you dislike laud, big flower pefumes, or perfumes like Alien by T.Mugler, Sensuous by Estee Lauder, Narciso Rodriguez for Her, Lovely by SJP or Addict by Dior then you better stay away from this perfume!

In fact since May 2010 I have not discovered perfume that made me want them so much as Perfum”.

From now it is on my wish list…

Update, 1 hour later.. this perfume is narcotic! I keep smelling the page and the sample... pure class!

Summer perfumes...

Here I am back!
Learning to drive takes so much time!

Anyway, today I am thinking to write about the perfumes..
I am addictive not only to cosmetics, but also to perfumes… I prefer not to say how many bottles I own…

Anyway, the summer is gone, at least here in Northern Ireland, and I am starting to reach for different perfumes… according to my mood…
What have I been using during this summer?

This summer I have been using a lot of fresh light perfumes… nothing too sweet… although there was on sweet one.. I guess exception of the rule;)
I have been using:

- Escada, the green bottle one, that reminds me of the holiday and seaside, especially seaside in the evening… it is very fresh fragrance but still
-
- Ghost Serenity - another clean fragrance, woody and musky, but very fresh… in a style of green team but it is 100 times better then Green Tea…

- Dior Diorella (vintage one) – very fresh, citrusy classy scent. Pure chic in the bottle. I use it in the summer to fresh but still very classy… this one I love to use the whole year… but not every day.. I need a special mood for Diorella.. another classic Dior is on my wish list it is Diorama…

- Valentino Eau de Parfum – it is very creamy floral, very soft and romantic, but not ver y floral due to the rice vapour in it..

- Kenzo Les Eaux De Fleur Collection - Eau De Fleur de Magnolia – it is pure sunshine in the bottle, so refreshing, reminds me of Turkey holiday as it is so cheerful and warm!

- JLO My Glow – it is very soft powder aquatic fragrance almost a skin scent – love it… especially that it has calming notes due to lavender.

- Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia – it reminds me the older one, Aqua di Gio, that was my top fragrance during university time… Although this one is more modern, more sweet and still having fresh aquatic feeling

- Dolce & Gabbana BY – I love this one! I use during hot summer night as that is so sexy perfume..’Sex on Legs”… so pity it has been discontinued… having my last two bottles and using them very sporadically…
-
- Coach Poppy - this is the “Fantasy” mixed with “Daisy”… do I like it? Yes! Why? It is just so youthful but still femine… although not very original or sophisticated.. but do we need to use serious perfume everyday day?


Ps. Photos will follow whenever I will fix my camera…

Custom made foundation.. Inglot plus Kanebo!

Hi everyone,

I am very sorry for being quiet.. being very busy with my work and with driving lessons...
Anyway, I promise I will upload some more thoughts and photos on Saturday evening/Sunday morning.

Additionally having a question to you... do you like to mix your foundations??

Today I did it.. I mixed my Inglot AMC Cream Foundation in light color with Kanebo Sensai Liquid Finish in dark colour.. I was very pleased with the effect!
Inglot was too light color and slightly too creamy and highlighting texture for me, and Kanebo was too dark for me and a bit too watery... when I mixed them both the color was just right with a little bit of tan, not too runny or too creamy... some pleasure!:)


Thanks and see you later!
