🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄





Alright now that that's out of my system lets get into the perfumes that I've been loving so much!




BURBERRY BRIT:

This perfume is amazing! Every time I wear it I get so many compliments. Burberry says this scent has notes from Crisp, icy pear, sugared almonds, and intense vanilla. Sephora says this fragrance is impulsive, sexy, and unique. I completely agree with that. I've never found a perfume to smell anything like this. It's a perfect scent to warm up the cold winter air!

You can purchase this perfume at Sephora for $90.00 - $122.00

CHLOE:

For starters, the packaging is gorgeous but its what's inside that really drew me in. When I got this I wasn't sure what it was going to smell like but WOW! I feel luxurious when I wear this and I'm so afraid to use it because I don't want it to ever run out. Sephora describes this perfume as chic, comfortable and entirely addictive and they're right! Sephora also includes the notes in this scent which include pink peony, lychee, magnolia flower, lily of the valley, rose, cedarwood, amber, and honey. This scent is fresh and warm and would make a great addition to any perfume lovers collection

You can purchase this perfume at Sephora for $86.00 - $200

LANCOME HYPNOSE

I've been wearing this perfume since High School and I won't stop until it gets discontinued but lets all hope that never happens! Lancome describes this scent as a woody oriental fragrance that acts like a sensual love potion. I'm not even kidding when I say it smells just like that haha. This fragrance has top notes of passion flower. Heart note of absolute vanilla and a gorgeous base note or vetiver. I've been in love with this scent for years and honestly I didn't really like it until I sprayed a little on my wrist. After that, I was hooked. It's been about 8 years of wearing this and loving every bottle even after it's empty.

You can purchase this scent in Sears or HBC and you can also order it online from Lancome for $63.00 - $103.00

COCO CHANEL:

This is a staple for many women and a true classic when it comes to perfumes. When I was a teenager, A woman I was very close to had a bottle with her one day and there were only a few sprays left. After we talked about it and  I told her how much I loved the scent she actually gave me the bottle!! I used those last few sprays sparingly! I  kept the bottle so I would remember it and buy it when I got older. Years past and I now have my own and I'm still in love with it now as I was back then. So Claudette, should you ever read this, Thank you =). Chanel created this scent after Gabrielle Chanel's personality. They describe it as a mysterious and provocative scent that slowly reveals its contrasting notes. The notes in this perfume are jasmine absolute, ylang-ylang, Tunisian orange blossom, Indonesian patchouli, tonka bean, and benzoin. This perfume is mature and there is nothing else like it.

You can order this scent right from the Chanel website for $72.00 - $124.00

So that's it! So far at least haha!

My Favourite Winter Nail Polishes

rs/tag/snow/page/2/

So winter is fast approaching, for many of us, we already have snow so I thought, instead of complaining about the cold weather how about a blog post about some of my favourite winter nail colours! So I've gathered five polishes that I've been using the most these past few weeks. So enough talk, lets get right into it!


OPI - Just A Little Rosti At This

I LOVE THIS COLOUR! I'm currently wearing it as I type this. It's the perfect burgundy shade for fall. This is such a warm, luscious, and creamy colour, I cannot get enough of it. This shade is so pigmented you could get away with one coat but two just makes it SO much better. Other than the colour another reason I love this polish is because it's pretty much the same shade as my favourite lipstick from Rimmel London #107 From the Kate Moss collection. I love when little things like lips and nails match, so naturally this made me super happy!

OPI - Give Me Moor!

This shade reminds me of a strong unopened bottle of cabernet sauvignon. which kind of makes no sense because the actual colour is way more purple. I really enjoy this colour when I feel like wearing my (fake) leather coat. It makes me feel like some sort of rebel vampire. Don't judge! 
This polish needs two coats since it's a bit translucent, but that second coat packs a mean punch and really gets dark. I love wearing this polish and then adding the next polish over top so add a little something special!

Morgan Taylor - Fame Game

I wouldn't classify this polish as a glitter polish, even though it is, but rather a shimmer polish since the sparkles are so tiny, AND it's easy to remove. Wait what? A glitter polish that's easy to remove? Yup. It's true. they actually exist! Morgan Taylor is a fairly new brand to me, I only ever started working with and seeing these polishes when I was in school. They were decently priced and had a great range of colours so I picked a few up. This polish looks good on it's own but I find that it looks best with a white base coat, or as an overlay. This polish reflects blue, green, yellow, and orange so it goes over top of top of pretty much any colour! It adds just a nice little pop of sparkle and reminds me of fresh fallen snow, you know.. the kind that glitters. =)

Morgan Taylor - Where's My Crown
This is my go to Christmas colour for my accent nail. two coats of this and your nails are evenly coated. Even one coat to add a little shimmer to your nails looks amazing. I love the amount of glitter in this polish and the fact that the glitter all the same size and shape, it makes the nail look so flawless because there is never a space without glitter. I love to pair this polish with my OPI Just a little rosti at this. Adding it to my accent nail over top of the OPI makes my nails scream Romantic Christmas! haha Because this is a glitter polish, it lifts off of the nail quite easily so I highly recommend a base coat and a top coat.

 Last but of course not least

Morgan Taylor - Sapphires, Rubies, and Emeralds Oh My
Honestly the name pretty much says all you need to know! what makes this glitter polish so incredible besides the glitter is the base of it. The base of this polish is a sheer dark purple so when I got it I instantly fell in love but I was a little nervous to use it because I thought the base would cover up the sparkles and the polish would just look chunky on the nail but I couldn't have been more wrong, the glitter shines through the base effortlessly! The glitter is purple, pink, blue, gold, and green, it's like a little bottle of Mardi Gras and totally remind me of Esmerlda from the hunchback of Notre Dame. I chose this as a winter colour because of how dark of a polish it is, you can wear this without a dark base and get away with it the base colour and the amount of glitter make it possible. Like the polish above, this does need a base coat and a top coat although this never lifts off my nail like the glitter polishes above. but still base and top coat are always a must for longer lasting polish!

So I hope you all liked this blog post, I'll be back with some more of my favourite polishes for the winter season in an upcoming post so stay tuned for that. and like always if you have any questions, comment below or ask me on any of my social media pages which you can find along the side of my blog! enjoy your day everyone!
