MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter in Radiant Rose

MAC has been hard at work lately, expanding the offerings in their Prep + Prime product category.  That in and of itself should be an excellent indicator of Fall’s focus:  flawless skin!  A truly great highlighter can do so many things:  illuminate the skin, make you look younger, make your cheekbones stand out, make you look better rested…

Kenzo FlowerTag Fragrance Review

kenzo flower tag fragrance reviewOur first 65 degree day of the Fall was also cloudy.  All it took was one day with no sunshine or warmth and **bam**, I felt like I hit a wall.  My energy level positively plummeted, and I tried to caffeinate my lethargy away to no avail.

The newest bloom in KENZO’s “flower” family–FlowerTag–is an invigorating scent that brightened my mood on that dreary day.  My guess is the zing of mandarin in the scent was what gave my spirits a lift.  FlowerTag is the ultimate combination of sweet flowers and succulent fruit, and, the bright “rouge” bottle had me at hello.

Fan di Fendi Fragrance Review

fan di fendi fragrance review

The Fendi brand has been around since 1925!  To celebrate Fendi’s 60th birthday, their first-ever fragrance was launched.  Over the years, Fendi has launched and discontinued various scents.  By 2010, the number of Fendi fragrances available in the marketplace was… an astonishing ZERO!  Hard to believe, isn’t it?

Well, if you’ve been sulking over the lack of Fendi fragrance options, Fall 2011 is a lucky season for you!  Fan di Fendi–the anxiously awaited new Fendi fragrance–has finally hit shelves!

Fan di Fendi is sensual and polished, and not overpowering.  To me the fragrance is all about taste, wealth and sophistication.  I imagine the woman who wears it to be dressed to the nines and excruciatingly successful.  Funny, because the ads wrapped around the scent tell a completely different story from my impression!  This blogger is always a fan of superb packaging, and Fendi did not disappoint.  Created in 1965 by Karl Lagerfeld himself, the ”FF” logo is still a status symbol almost 50 years later.  Naturally, it is fitting for this recognizable logo to be selected as the design for the of the bottle, gleaming in a mirror-finish opulent gold.

Top Notes: Pear blackcurrant accord, tangerine from Calabria and pink peppercorn from Reunion Island

Heart Notes: Damascena rose and yellow jasmine

Base Notes: Soft leather accord and patchouli from Indonesia
