Fragrance Check | DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

I am retrieving myself from blogging since I have left this site idle for quite some time now. Not blaming my very busy schedules though. It'll be a week from now before my son's birthday party and I can say that I can relax more often starting today, as I have accomplished most of the things needed for the party.

Since it's Mother's Day tomorrow, you might want to check this super nice scent that I have been using for almost two years now. A perfect gift to our moms!

"It is composed of luminous accords of grapefruit mixed with rose and jasmine petals. This is a flirty, joyful and ultimate scent of spring, freshness and energy." - fragrantica.com

At first, I was hesitant to try this scent because of the name: "blossom". I have never been a fan of fragrances that smells like flower. But to my surprise, I am loving this one! Perfect for special occasions that needs an "all-day" refreshing mood. I promised that if I ran out of this, I'm sure to get a new one! Thanks to my mom-in-law who gave this to me last Christmas of 2011. :)

Have you tried this scent too?

Fragrance Check | Davidoff COOL WATER for Men

Since beauty products, cosmetics, body and facial cares can be reviewed, perfumes and fragrances are opt to be checked as well. Though I won't say reviews about them, I'll just have them "checked" and acknowledged.

Davidoff COOL WATER for Men, is a very cool and fresh scent. Yeah, I know it's for men. But at times, I feel like wearing this perfume compared to its version for women. I admit, I love the scent more than the latter one. It's been a favorite of my husband, and so it's been a staple scent to me as well.

Have you tried wearing this scent too?

Cheers!



Weekend BEAUTY Loot

How are you lovely ladies? I hope you all started the week right! Well, for me, it's not actually a good start of the week 'cause I have colds and I need some rest for I feel kinda exhausted from last week's activities. 

Anyway, like what I mentioned from my last post, we went to see my mother-in-law who just arrived from Dubai last Friday. We got to her hotel in Makati on Saturday to see her and had lunch with my mom, dad and bro. Of course, hubby and his bro Tobby were also there, Yale was too shocked indeed when he saw his "lola" from his daddy's side. :)

Since my MIL is also very "kikay" on her own, she always bring a beauty loot for me every time she goes home or whenever she sends out a package for the family. She always put blouses, shirts and dresses on my loot, but I'm more concentrated now on the cosmetics part. LOL!

Here's the prettifying items included in my beauty loot:

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC25

VICTORIA'S SECRET Simply Breathless eau de toilette

ESTEE LAUDER Travel Exclusive Make up kit

So there goes my beauty loot from mama Thess (hubby's mom). I also got blouses and a lot of sweets! I'm the only girl whom she gives a beauty loot since she has two sons (hubby and Tobby) and Yale, they're all guys so they're more on shirts, perfumes, rubber shoes, watches and gadgets. 

Will be putting these babies to road test this holiday and I'll make a review then.

Thanks! 

Appreciate, don't hate! :)

My TOP SCENTS for the Year

"I felt something so intense, I could only express it in a perfume." - Jacques Guerlain

I haven't talked about my favorite fragrances ever in this blog. So I think it will just be fair if I will also acknowledge them and the people who gave them to me. Yes, I am not a perfume collector and I don't purchase as much scents as other people do. But people close to my heart prefers giving nice scents as gifts and "pasalubongs". 

Here are my Top Scents for the year 2012. I have other bottles (RL, Burberry Body, Bath and Body, etc.) but these are the ones I have used for this year. 

Colognes:

Bath and Body Works - Sweet Pea (courtesy of my friend Kring Vitug)

GAP Dream (purchased by yours truly)

Victoria's Secret - Tropical Breeze (from my husband's aunt Florence)

I so love these scents and not being a perfume person, I wear these whenever I go out for errands, with no special occasion at all.

Great for daily use!

Perfumes:

DKNY - Be Delicious Peach Blossom ( mama Thess' "pasalubong")

Davidoff Cool Water - Wave ( from Tobby, hubby's bro)

Victoria Secret - Berry Kiss (from my mom)

Burberry Touch - ( from mama Thess)

I only wear perfumes whenever I attend events and special occasions. Notice that those three bottles to the right are almost empty.  

I so love DKNY Be Delicious in Peach Blossom, I wear that most of the time the moment I received it. It stays for a long day.

Burberry Touch is also one of my favorite scent so I'm almost emptying the bottle.

Davidoff Cool Water in Wave is a great scent too, but I get dizzy at times at don't understand why, lol!

Victoria's Secret is best worn at night because of the sweet scent which I truly love! 

How about you? What are your TOP Scents for the year?

'til then!

BURBERRY BODY PH

Hello December! It's the Christmas month once again and I'm sorry for just putting up a post today, I've been too busy with the weekend shopping with my family in the metro and I also went to see my long time friend whom I haven't seen for more than 10 years now. :)

Anyway, before we head out to the metro last Saturday, I was surprised to get my Burberry Body gift pack from the mail. I was actually negotiating with Luxasia's Brand Manager if they can ship it out or I still have to go to their main office in Bonifacio Global City. Apparently, my e-mails for DHL (courier service) bounced back a couple of times so I didn't expect that Ms. C already shipped my package.

Here are the pics of my gift pack:

85 ml bottle , retails for Php 5,798 (US $141)

This was actually released November 2012 here in the Philippines and there was only 156 bottles in the market to celebrate Burberry's 156 years.

the package also contains 6 sample bottles and a DVD\

If you're wondering how I got these, here is my entry for the BBBODYPH contest:

the notification

It was really an early Christmas gift, good thing I didn't buy a new perfume on my own and trusted my luck. haha! 

Thanks again Burberry Body PH and Luxasia for the gift pack, and also Ms. C who made sure I'm gonna receive this. :)

'til next!
