Mmm, Ginger Lily

Hope your Thanksgiving was as awesome as mine was!  My hubby and I played host/hostess and played games with our family and cooked tons of yummy food.  A good time was had by all (I hope!).

Speaking of family, my sister was there, and like a merchant bringing goods from faraway lands to my lonely 'cave,' she gave me something she called a "Body Oil," by Urban Outfitters.  This particular scent was called Ginger Lily.  She said they were having a sale, so she couldn't resist the urge to pick up a couple of these babies.

I opened the box and unscrewed the cap, and OMG I cannot lie to you, this thing smelled sooo good!  I don't know what the smell is or what it consists of (probably Ginger and Lily), but as far as I'm concerned, this is a must-have.  It's small, so it will be easy to carry around in your purse, and you don't need to worry about it leaking and what not.  My sister carries one in her purse.  It also offers easy application anywhere, as it is a roll-on style fragrance.

I'm at home most of the days, so there is not much need to put together a purse or makeup bag, but gosh, even when I apply it while I am sitting around at home doing nothing, it is such a pleasant scent and it makes me feel happy.  I always suggested carrying around a sample perfume in your makeup bag while you're out, but seriously, look into switching to Urban Outfitter's Ginger Lily body oil.  It is so nice, I know you will love it. 

Below is a picture of the product.  I don't know the price, nor do I know where you can get this stuff online, I am sorry.  All I know is that it is available at the Urban Outfitters store.  Good luck!

Haiku Perfume Review

If you are in the market for a perfume with a really clean smell, I would highly recommend the Haiku perfume by Avon.  In my opinion, it makes you smell as if you had just gotten out of the shower.  Truly, its beauty is found within the simplicity of the formula, which is comprised of a mixture of only three scents: jasmine, citrus and lily. 

Another aspect to this perfume that I really enjoy is its packaging, which is very interesting.  The bottle looks like an Asian building, such as a pagoda.  I know we shouldn't judge things by their appearance, but gosh, this is what first attracted me to the product.  The look of it, along with the name Haiku made me want to buy it, and whenever I reach for it to put it on, I feel happy.

Lastly, I thought this perfume was a bargain.  I mean, come on, it's hard to find good perfumes at this kind of price!  I will admit it's not a big name brand, but I really don't mind because it smells so nice.  If you are interested in giving this perfume a shot, it is available at www.Avon.com, $22.50 for 1.7fl oz., and it is shown below.

With the economy in the shape that it's in, if your money is dwindling, I would go for this perfume!  You will be able to have a simple, clean, and beautiful smell without hurting your wallet too much.  I hope this helps.

PS - If you haven't already, please enter for my small giveaway which ends Nov. 21.  Check out my post entitled "A Small Giveaway" (November 5th's post) when you have a chance.  Good luck to everyone!

Incanto Dream

I don't know how to describe a smell to you, but I will try my best right now.  This smell is so awesome, sometimes I find myself trying to get high off of it.  The perfume smells like you are walking through a vast meadow of flowers.  Each different flower smells so exquisite, and all of them put together creates a combination smell that is so delicious that you just want to eat them!  I would also describe this perfume as sweet-smelling and very feminine.

This perfume, actually an eau de toilette, contains the smell of Cassis, Ananas, Pomme Pink Lady, Mangue, Freesia, Pivoine, Ambre, Musc Blanc and Bois de Santal.  Listen, I don't even know what most of these are, but whatever it is, it is to die for!  In my opinion, it is rightly called Incanto Dream, because the smell is sooo dreamy. 

You MUST get your hands on one of these!  I haven't seen this perfume in any department stores, but I believe these are still available online.  I accidentally ordered a tester version, hence, no cap in the picture below, but oh well.  I'm not giving it away as a gift or anything.  It smells REALLY good.  Below the picture I have put the full name, price and where you can buy the thing.  Try it out!
