April 7, 2016

lipstick_Red_VelvetNB_grandeLooking to channel your inner 40’s pinup girl? Then look no further than Besame’s Cosmetic Classic Color Lipstick. Created by Hollywood beauty historian Gabriela Hernandez, Besame’s color palate has been painstakingly recreated to mimic the colors worn by Hollywood starlets — think Jean Harlow, Vivien Leigh and Marilyn Monroe. Best described as lush, rich and silky matte — these lipsticks last from day to night, and then some. Gluten-free, paraben free, cruelty-free, and most important— no bleeding! If Vintage glam is your thing, Besame is your lipstick. After all, a red lip is always in fashion.

MY SCENT FOR SPRING: ODIN NEW YORK 12

March 1, 2016

As spring nears, ODIN New York is taking a new approach to florals.

forBLOGandInstagram

The unisex luxury fragrance brand created The White Line to explore the clean, simplistic  essence of deconstructed florals. Similarly, The Black Line is filled with floral notes that jump out from the spicy, musky bases. I am in LOVE with Odin 12 – sexy, musky and masculine/feminine.

image001

The White Line is untraditional, finding inspiration from every essence of the flower – from stems, leaves, blossoms and bouquets.
Each fragrance is constructed using three fragrance families: rose, citrus and greens. Rose explores the bloom of the flower just as you smell it in the air, a citrus derived from florals; its qualities combined with traditional clean citrus notes and greens to explore a flower from its leaves and stem.
·         Milieu Rosa – Equally bright, soft, sweet and woodsy; powered trio of Moroccan, Dutch and Turkish roses
·         Efflora – Fresh and effervescent; its vibrant floral heart subtly awoken with Algerian Tangerine and Neroli Blossoms
·         Vert Reseda – Vividly green and herbaceous; bold Mountain Galbanum and Reseda leaves compliment a bloom of Wild Peony and Gardenia

The Black Line is inspired by exotic destinations, taking you on a fragrance journey with modern interpretations of time-honored fragrance traditions.

The Black box that is comes in is sexier than my boyfriend.
