Vera Wang | Forever Vera Eau De Parfum

I first fell in love with Vera Wang fragrance with Princess and Princess Night. I tend to like fragrance with fruit in it so both of these fragrances were ideal for my nose. I don’t often review fragrance because I find it to be one of the hardest things in the world to talk about. It is incredibly emotional and is a beauty product that actually transforms on each person to become specific to their body chemistry. This world of perfumery is just so fascinating and scientifically beautiful that I can’t help but get incredibly romantic when I speak of it. So, now that I’ve gotten all emotional, let us experience Forever Vera (30ml $49 CDN & 50ml $78 CDN) with notes of velvety white peach, gardenia, refreshing coconut water, creamy sandalwood, tonka beans, sheer skin musk, orris, blooming lilac and a drop of rum.

Vera Wang Forever Vera EDP

The Forever Vera bottle is much more elegant in feel in comparison to the more youthful appeal of the Princess series with hammered glass and rope detailing. The scent wears more floral on me and as the day progresses what ends up being left behind is a very faint floral musk. I found this to be a more mature scent, but also very feminine and romantic. I think it is a lovely scent for Fall as there is just a hint of musk, but still carries the lightness of summer with the presence of coconut water and white peach. Sounds to me like the perfect transitional scent into the colder weather!

Now available at Shoppers Drug Mart & London Drugs locations across Canada.

Quickie Winners Sinnage

Just a few amazingly great buys that I’ve picked up over the last couple of weeks that I could not say no to! Believe me, I’ve been trying so very hard to resist Winners and only get things that I can somewhat justify, so these are the results of my efforts!

Vera Wang-Princess NightDSCF4322

When this first came out last year, I believe, I decided I would wait for a Shopper’s Event to reward myself, but when I saw this full size for $29.99, patience went right out the door! I love “Princess” and this is very similar in scent, but reminds me a bit more of winter.

OPI RapiDry Spray and Bliss Blood Orange and White Pepper Body ButterDSCF4323

After seeing some good reviews on OPI’s RapiDry Spray, when I saw a bottle of this at Winners for $12.99, I figured it was the right time to give this a try. I also decided to get a second bottle of this Bliss moisturizer ($16.99) that I cannot live without! This is one of my all-time favourite scents and I tend to stock up whenever I see them on sale at Winners because Bliss products are ridiculously expensive at Sephora.

I saw this nestled in a corner and couldn’t believe my luck! Like a lot of you, I fell in love with the Ahava scent when we received our first Ahava products in the inaugural February Glossybox or December Glymm Box. As you can see, the gift set came with a hand and foot cream, bath salts and some gel-lined moisture gloves for either the hands or feet! From what I have seen, Ahava products can only be purchased online so when I saw this full size set for $24.99, it was an immediate no-brainer. I think I carried the pouch around like a little baby until I made it to the cash register. You’d do it too right? I’m not the only one?

Have a great Tuesday everyone!
