L’Occitane Imortelle Spray Mist is Simply Blissful

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

Immortelle Brightening Face Mist

Experience the most blissful, refreshing feeling on your skin with L’Occitane’s Immortelle Brightening Spray Mist. This delightful floral scented spray mist has now become part of my daily facial routine. On the days I don’t wear makeup, I like to spray L’Occitane Imortelle Spray Mist over my freshly washed face, leaving me with the most refreshing feeling.

L’Occitane Imortelle Spray Mist is also a remarkable primer. On the days I wear make-up, a few spritzes of the spray mist holds my make-up in place all day. I especially  like how the spray feels on my face, it’s very cooling and has a  little “pick-me-up” quality to it that I love!

L’Occitane Imortelle Spray Mist is an alcohol-free toner as well, so it won’t dry out your skin. L’Occitane Imortelle Spray Mist is  enriched with Immortelle floral water (which by the way is the most enchanting fragrance), and Bellis Perennis which helps refresh, illuminate and soften the texture of your skin. I noticed remarkable results after a few days of use.

You will find other fabulous products by L’Occitane Imortelle at usa.loccitane.com/  With Mother’s Day right around the corner, you will find the most amazing gift sets and collections. Don’t wait until the last minute, start your gift buying today with L’Occitane.

Pretty Perfumes On Display

Monday, March 25th, 2013

I always display my perfumes, only my favorites and those with the most attractive bottles. I keep some on a pretty mirrored tray on a high stack of old classic books on my bedroom floor and the others I keep on a vintage candle tray on my nightstand. I put my favorite scents on the trays. I switch them out from time to time as I get updated on new fragrances and pretty bottles. Recently I made room for a new fragrance to join my grouping, Rihanna’s third fragrance, Nude by Rihanna. I like it and the bottle is very pretty. Nude by Rihanna is a sweet floral fruity fragrance backed by Vanilla with woody and skin musky notes. The fruity aromas are of guava, mandarin and pear.. The heart is blended out of white flowers: gardenia petals, velvety Sambac jasmine and creamy orange blossom. The base consists of sandalwood, vanilla orchid and “second skin” musk.Nude by Rihanna is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. You can find Nude by Rihanna at Macy’s, Dillards, Belk, Bonton, Boscovs, and Stage.

In homage to her 7 Concerts, 7 Countries, 7 Days tour, 777 Nude by Rihanna Diamonds Limited Edition bottles are available. Every bottle is personally signed by Rihanna and is adorned with a crystal embellished charm, each with its own unique number. The bottle, inspired by her signature stiletto heels, is presented in a box that opens with Rihanna’s “R” and is inspired by the songstress and her new hit single, Diamonds.

I find pretty mirrored vanity trays at local Thrift Stores.

I like this candle tray for an arrangement of perfume bottles.

Ever since my New York City Trip last May, I have been addicted to Ultra Chateau Krigler 212. I decided to return to the New York City’s Plaza Hotel to sample Krigler Perfume Splendid Gold 211.  Krigler Perfume Splendid Gold 211 is unique and a captivating fragrance which whisks you away to escape a little adventure. It is pure elegance and delivers a sumptuous interpretation of gold (rich, strong, soft and delicate) that is perfect for any season.  It is $165.00 for a 1.7 ounce bottle at Krigler.com and at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, .  The scent is highly concentrated, so you only need to use the tiniest drop to rejuvenate the escape. The scent last all day with a delightful fragrance of Australian Amber and Pineapple notes from Costa Rica, mingled with Bergamot, Peach, and Star Jasmine.  The notes of Lily, Tobacco, Sandalwood, Musk and Vanilla will lavish you, stirring a spirt of exotic strength.  It is truly one of my favorites!

Unknown-19

I also had the  pleasure to indulge in Krigler Oud Azur 75212 which is timeless!  The scent transports you to the outdoors of the French Riviera with White Pepper from Sumatra, Ginger from India and Rose from Provence mingle with notes of Sicilian Papyrus Wood and Oud from South East Asia, finishing off with Musk, Australian amber, Oliban and Leather. It’s glorious oriental fragrance that fuses the Far East with sophistication!  The cost is $235.00 for a 1.7 ounce bottle also at Krigler.com  and at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Well worth the richness!!! To my surprise this impeccable quality luxury brand, Krigler, also offers custom fragrances, bath and body products!
