The other four perfumes (as promised): Clinique, Dolce and Gabbana, Elizabeth Arden and Caudalie

Image
As I have agreed before I am going to evaluate these smells: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray Caudalie - Fleur de Vigne  Clinique Aromatics in Black  Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Sun The reason that I am so late with the evaluation is that I am very sensitive to the perfumes if I smell too many in one day, I might get nausea too easily... So that is why I am late... I apologise for not having kept the exact promise.  I will start with the Caudalie Acqua Fresca Fleur de Vigne : this one was 25 or 24 euros when I bought it last summer. And it is quite a small one, with 50 ml. I used it every day in the summer and also in the autumn. Finally, I finished really quickly. I also have to admit that some part of it got poured in my bag, but not too much, just a couple of uses were gone. This is the only smell that does not bother the people around me even if I use it in abundance. It is also the smell that never gives me a headache or never disturbs me later in the day, as

Perfumes: The journey of fragrances in youth

Image
I have used perfumes since I was sixteen or so. My sister bought me my first perfume Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden... at the time, we did not know much about directors or brands. We just knew about actors and smells; we did not think about wearing brands but we thought about having a perfume. At least we had started to have the desire for things but names ... you know when you are 16 in a smaller town, that is not that important. Especially when someone else discovers the perfumes for you.  Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden The main thing was the main thing, the creator was not important, the patent was not important, the cool thing was to have the perfume. Or at least I thought so... then as we have got older, brands and names became bigger and they started to play a bigger part in our lives. Then there was Davidoff Cool Water , this was a great perfume. It was not heavy, light like the wind, pure like the water, not sticky, not sweet, fresh but with an undertone, it was

24th of December: Aromatics in Black

Image
The 24th day of December ended with a little sample of Aromatics in Black , a perfume by Clinique. It is sweet but not so sweet, it is pungent but not so much, it is sexy and evening like, but you can also use it during the daylight. I really enjoyed the smell: it says that it contains myrrh, fruit and exotic notes. There is also a hint of cinnamon in it. I give ten over ten to this perfume, also for not giving me a headache. Moreover, it was a very nice smell to have for Christmas evening. Merry Christmas to everyone, although it is past now, I want to say it here once more! Hope that we will have a good year where we return the resources we used responsibly back to nature. Okay, so in short, I suggest this perfume to ones who prefer a good balance between sweet, fresh and mysterious.

One day before Christmas, 23rd day: Another lipstick from Clinique

Image
I give ten over ten to Clinique Pop Splash air kiss, number 11.  It is shiny, it is hydrating, it is not sticky, and it is not too pink. It is a perfect thing between a lipstick and a lip gloss. I think I will use it a lot and will be satisfied with it. AIR KISS NUMBER 11 The evaluation of the 23rd day is very short, I am aware, but I have nothing else to say, the lipstick did all the job, less conversation more action is needed.  Merry Christmas to all those reading my blog and also to those who are not reading! And Merry Christmas to those who might start reading my blog, too. 

22nd of December: Lipstick of Clinique, Lovepop number 13

Image
The lipstick has a very nice pinkish and Christmasy colour... Well actually if we look at the website it is amongst the violet colour group. Lovepop number 13 is a very interesting colour, it brightens your face, it gives some kind of evening look, and it almost looks like you have used your mother's lipstick by mistake. love pop number 13 At the same time, it gives some shine to your lips as it has some sparkles inside. The only problem I found with this number 13 of the pop series was that it does not go away easily! Well, you will say, the lipstick should stay. I think the contrary, I think that anything natural would not stick and stay. Cause then it means it has some kind of artificial quality to it. Then you will say, do you want to refresh your lipstick all the time? My answer is yes, I prefer that it is natural and I can refresh it from time to time. For me, it was hard to get rid of it, moreover, it dried my lips after the use... It can also be due to the wintertime

21 December 2019: Moisture surge overnight mask of Clinique

Image
I tried Moisture surge overnight mask of Clinique , yesterday night, although I should have tried it before. It is okay, it hydrates the skin but leaves the pores open. In the morning I felt that my pores were quite larger compared to the night where I had used the mask. If it is a good thing or not I should ask the skincare experts but I think that compared to a hydrating cream, it does not have an extra benefit. Even if it did, would I have understood it with one use? I guess not. So I give six over ten to this product. Clinique moisture surge overnight mask

20th of December 2019: Clinique Smart Custom Repair Serum

Image
I do not know if it is because of the Clinique custom-repair serum or not today my skin was much better, today meaning 21st of December.  I can feel that after having used Clinique for almost 21days, my skin seems to be responding well, it is not dry, it is clean and it looks really shinier than usual. So I have to say that my general and overall experience has been positive. I used this serum yesterday night before going to bed. The next day my skin was quite hydrated and it looked quite tight. I have to use repeatedly to understand if it works better or not but I give nine over ten to this product and suggest it! Clinique smart custom-repair serum
