Evening in Ceylon Solid Perfume by Eliza Fragrances [Vintage Inspired]

Hello everyone! Its going to be 2012 and i still haven't uploaded my December perfume review! OoopS! Time flies ha.. Anyways i managed to make sometime and here we are :-) Im going to review a solid perfume today. Hope you ladies enjoy my review. :-)

Evening in Ceylon Solid Perfume by Eliza Fragrances

7g Solid: $10

Pretty isnt it :-)

The perfume comes in a really beautiful handmade box! It looks like a little gift.



Well unfortunately my box got a little crushed in the mail :-( But then again it still looks so beautiful.

So yes.. the perfume comes in a little tin and looks like lip balm :-) Its a really convenient package since we all love to carry our perfumes in our handbags. This is just perfect. Its small and convenient.

Now its perfume talk time ------->

Eliza Fragrances offers beautiful natural solid perfumes made using jojoba oil, beeswax and fragrance oils. Its almost all natural which we all totally love! The specialty of these scents are that they are all 'Vintage Inspired' So all the ladies who are crazy about Vintage stuff.. this perfume should be on top of your list :-)


The texture of the perfume is like lip balm.. very soft and easy to apply onto the skin.

Perfume Notes:

Intriguing and seductive. An exotic, mysterious blend of sweet citrus and bergamot, jasmine, carnation, and lily of the valley. A hypnotic union of patchouli, vanilla, and amber make up the base notes. 
(Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent Opium)

Im not sure why but this perfume smells very sweet and spicy to me.. its like a beautiful blend of spices.. maybe because of the name of the perfume or if its the perfume itself. Im not sure. If you look at the notes you will notice that it has nothing that would trigger a spicy smell.. well maybe its my nose :-) Anyways its a warm, sweet and spicy scent! I just love it! 

This perfume is a VERY STRONG scent.. but not overpowering.. its not something that will shout out loud. Its strong as soon as you apply it but it will slowly fade down and mix in with you and become a part of you. Making you smell rather spicy and interesting :-) 

This is something you can use everyday.. its a casual everyday scent.. that mixes well with your body. Just apply a little bit on your pulse points (i.e. wrists, inside of elbows, sides of the neck below the jaw, etc.) and you will feel all perfumed up and ready to start your day!

Those of you who think spices is not your thing.. or that you want something more fruity or flowery or cologney or even powdery.. DONT WORRY. Eliza Fragrances provides a wide range of fragrances to suit everyone's needs. You can request a set of samples and you will be able to try out all the scents available and decide what suits you best.

This is a set of samples that i received:


How convenient :-)

If you want to know what are the other scents that i enjoyed.. i would suggest Nerfetari! Its such a soft, feminine and fruity scent!!!!!!!!!! Gorgeous! 

So interested in Eliza Fragrances? Check out their website and facebook and get yourself a tin :-)


Will i recommend?

Dont you want to spend an Evening In Ceylon sipping a cup of Sweet Spicy Tea? :-)


Now its time for your thoughts!

Product was sent by company for reviews but that has no effects on my honest opinions.

Gwen's Blends Caramel Oatmeal Soap

Hey Ladies :-) I'm back with my reviews! So today my review will be on a natural handmade soap. This is the  first natural soap i have ever used.. so this is what i have to say:


Gwen's Blends Caramel Oatmeal Soap

5 oz. (141 g)

'It's not food. It's natural soap. Like caramel, it has a light brown color. Faintly sweet, it both soothes and exfoliates the skin with bits of oatmeal.   Honey moisturizes dry skin. Olive oil provides moisture; coconut oil gives it a rich lather. No added fragrances; this natural soap is unscented, handmade, and hand cut.  A cult favorite, Caramel Oatmeal Soap alleviates skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. With continued use, it slowly exfoliates and fades blemishes and other skin discolorations due to hyperpigmentation.   Use as a face wash or on the entire body.  It's a perfect over-all soap.  It's even quite effective for spot cleaning dirt from fabrics. 100% All Natural Soap  5 oz.'

Packaging:

The packing is really pretty.. looks simple and nice. The soap is wrapped in brown paper and tied with a string. Not a fancy package but looks handmade and natural. Like a cute little gift.

Appearance:

The soap is light brown in colour just like caramel.. with little bits of oatmeal for mild exfoliation.


Texture:

Its not a hard soap.. gets a little soft when the climate is warm but doesnt melt or break off so you can store it in room temperature. Get a nice little soap box and store it safe.

Lather:

Has a lovely creamy lather which i enjoy very much.. lathers really well and cleans skin well. Removes all dirt and even oil from my skin. You would notice that along with the lather comes tiny bits of oatmeal ;-)

Smell:

Well this soap is UNSCENTED. Thats bad for me because im a person who wants all my products to smell good.. i really wish it had a slight fragrance.. it would have been more enjoyable. But dont worry if you're a person who loves scented soaps you can try out the other soaps by Gwen's Blend which are scented! I will review a scented one for you very soon. For those who love unscented soaps.. THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU!

Effect on skin:


Long term --->

I wouldnt be able to tell you the long run changes in my skin now but i will definitely finish up the soap and update this so you will know what this soap does in the long run. 


Short term ---->


But as of now.. i can tell that this soap cleans well and makes you feel really cleansed up after a shower but one thing that i noticed is - it slightly dries the skin so moisturizing is a MUST. You have to always remember to moisturize  after a shower. If you are a lazy person and wouldnt bother with a moisturizer please stay away from this product.. this is not  for you.

Exfoliation:

It exfoliates the skin mildly.. nothing too harsh so this soap can be used few times a week. I mainly use it on my feet and i love it. Even after a few washes i feel my feet looks better and im hoping that continuous use will help make my feet more soft and it would remove all the blemishes. I will update on that soon.

How many washes will it last?

[Will update this soon]

Will i reccommend:

If you are a person who loves natural soaps or just wants to try them you can try this.. its 100% natural so you dont have to worry about feeding chemicals into your skin and since it has some exfoliation properties its always an added advantage because continuous usage will help keep skin soft and smooth. Me liking this now.. so you can try it too and let me know what you think. Its definitely worth a try!

So want to know more about this soap and the other products offered by this company?

212 Men Carolina Herrera

Today is this months perfume review day :-) And i decided to review one of my most favorite men's perfumes. ;-) 


Are you wondering what fragrances are great for men? Confused on what to buy for your man on his birthday?

Have a look at this perfume and see if its something that your man would love to have.

212 Men Carolina Herrera




Top notes-  spices, petit grain, lavender, green notes, grapefruit and bergamot; 
Middle notes- ginger, green pepper, gardenia, violet and sage; 
Base notes- labdanum, sandalwood, musk, guaiac wood, vetiver and incense.



An elegant silver metallic bottle.. very manly. A bit too heavy to carry around but since men dont carry perfumes with them in their handbags :P its not an issue. The design is very attractive and the lid is magnetic! So you just hold the lid close to its bottle and its just clicks on. How sexy :-)


Its a very clever design.. and very convenient.


The fragrance -


The fragrance like its bottle is very manly and very strong.. a very strong sporty fragrance. A man's perfume so boys please stay away. Something that lasts all day long! The smell doesnt fade at all!! I wouldnt recommend it for daily use unless you're someone who loves to draw too much attention to yourself. Perfect for night time use especially during special occasions.  



What i have here is a gift set - 


Image from Google


It comes in a really nice silver metallic box and inside you get the perfume and a shower gel. 




The shower gel smells divine :-) just like the perfume but much more stronger and concentrated. It has a watery texture so you have to be careful when pouring it out onto the loofah. A little goes a long way.. so just a few drops and then you will smell fresh all day. The bathroom will smell of your perfume all day too :P


The perfume and the shower gel both have a long lasting fragrance.. the perfume stays on your clothes even after one machine wash!! So careful how much you spray onto your clothes.


Will i recommend?


A perfect gift for your man :-) He will definitely love it unless of course he doesnt agree with strong scents. Give it a try and let me know ;-)


Have a Pink Day :-)

PALLADIO Herbal Thickening Mascara

Hey Ladies ;-) Everyone's talking about natural ingredients.. natural makeup.. no chemicals. So i thought of posting a review on a herbal mascara! Heard about the brand PALLADIO? Yes? This is their mascara that i have here.


PALLADIO Herbal Thickening Mascara


black/brown
Pretty isnt it? 




Its a 2 in 1 mascara. Thats the mascara wand and those are the brushes.




It has an eye lash brush and an eye brow brush


This is what it looks like ---------->



My thoughts :

I dont know what to expect from a herbal mascara. This is the first time i used a natural mascara and im surprised how much i liked it. :-) 

Reasons to love this product:

  • Its a natural product and its great to switch to all natural products and avoid chemicals getting into your body
  • It does thicken eye lashes slightly and makes it look long and pretty
  • Its not waterproof so its really easy to wash off
  • Doesnt clump


Reasons to not love this product:
  • Its best to avoid using this mascara on rainy days, really hot days and sad days 
  • If you are someone who cries alot.. please remember its not waterproof!
  • The shade i have is black/brown. The tube and the mascara looks very brown but it doesnt show on your lashes.. its just like any other black mascara. So if you want a brown shade.. this isnt the one for you. If you want jet black shade.. this isnt the one for you.
  • No cat eye effects

Will i recommend:

I love the idea that this product is natural and since i dont have to travel alot and stay out alot with makeup on, i dont have a problem with this mascara and would recommend it to all those who hate stubborn water proof eye make up.


If you want a mascara for everyday wear.. something that doesnt have to last for hours and hours.. you can try it. :-)


Is this your type of product?


Now its time for your thoughts!
Have you used this product?
What are your reviews?
Have a Pink Day :-)

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint in BEACH

Today im going to review a very popular product! Just got launched but has gained alot of fans all over the world. So these are my thoughts ----->

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint in BEACH

Comes in 3 shades:

  • Bare - Fair 
  • Beige - Medium
  • Beach - Medium to Dark


    I chose beach as i thought that would be the most suitable shade for my South Asian skin tone.


    The package is sleek and super sexy :-) I love the color of the tube.. its so attractive. Comes in a tube which is easy to use. Squeeze out a little onto your fingertips, apply and slowly blend into skin. The trick is to use thin layers and build it up where needed. Just a little onto your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin and simply blend it in with your fingertips and you're done.


    Texture:

    Its a light weight formula which is easy to use.. anyone can use it without messing it up. (you dont have to be a make up guru to master this one)

    Coverage:

    Provides light coverage.. not too light and not heavy. NOT HEAVY at all. I personally hate heavy skin tints that make my face look fake and overdone.. i want a natural glow, dewy look and this works just fine. :-)

    Full of natural ingredients :-) So like i always say: NO WORRIES ABOUT CHEMICALS!!!!!

    Perfect for everyday wear! Especially on my 'no makeup days' which is 95% of my days :P My face looks fresh and healthy and noone can even guess i have used any product on my face. 


    I use this whenever people come home to visit me and my little one and they all say i look good.. post pregnancy glow :P 

    This is the shade ------>


    Though my skin tone is medium.. i chose medium to dark skin tone because i realised this would be perfect for me. I know it looks really dark but dont worry it blends in like a dream. My mom has fair skin tone but she seems to love this as much as i do :-)

    Will i recommend?

    Yes definitely! Those who want a natural dewy look should try this out and im sure you would love it! Its easy to use but the results are awesome. Try it and let me know :-) 


    Now its time for your thoughts!
    Have you used this product?
    What are your reviews?

    Product was sent by company for reviews but that has no effects on my honest opinions.

    Have a Pink Day :-)

    Yo face! Face Lotion by Sweets Cosmetics

    Hey Ladies :-) Today my review will be on a face lotion! This is my first face moisturizer review. I dont really use alot of products on my face.. im really careful about what i feed my skin especially facial products! I have really sensitive skin so i cant use anything and everything on it.. and i dont like to use alot of chemicals!! 

    So i found something that is natural and works well ;-)

    Yo face! face lotion by Sweets Cosmetics


    Yummy Ingredients: 
    Water, Coconut Oil, Glycerine, Emulsifying Wax, Stearic Acid, Natural Borate, Tea Tree Essential Oil, & Honeysuckle Extract

    The ingredients look tempting yea?!
    Yes.. its all natural and healthy.


    First i want you to have a good look at the bottle. Its a pretty simple bottle with a tiny tiny pump. Its so tiny.. which means a tiny pump of the product will be enough for your whole face.. and another tiny pump for your neck. Its an easy hassle free bottle.

    My experience based on MY FACE TYPE --------->

    Skin Type - Normal
    Sensitivity - Highly sensitive
    Problems - Dull

    So based on my face type i will review this product.

    Texture:

    It has a balmy texture which makes it so easy to massage onto skin.. it simply glides on.

    Smell:

    I know many people dont approve of scented face products.. but i love nice smelling stuff! Anyways this product doesnt really have a smell to it. It has a slight smell of i dont know how to explain.. natural stuff maybe? hehe.. it smells very natural.

    How well it works:

    I have been using this product for a couple of weeks now.. you can see i have used up some of it. 

    • A very moisturizing formula
    • Easy to massage onto skin
    • Absorbs into skin but takes a few minutes.. this is something i love about this lotion. I HATE face products that absorb into the skin so fast that you feel your skin getting dried up.
    • DOESNT cause any breakouts
    • Makes skin look glowly and healthy.


    I use this product twice a day.. i just love the way my face feels and looks once i apply it. My skin looks healthy and fresh and feels smooth. :-) The awesomeness is that it has all natural ingredients which mean i dont have to worry about the after effects or the long term effects of using this onto my face.

    Will i recommend it?

    YES! So Ladies try this and let me know what you think.


    Now its time for your thoughts!
    Have you used this product?
    What are your reviews?



    Product was sent by company for reviews but that has no effects on my honest opinions.

    Have a Pink Day :-)
