Make Me Beautiful

Hello friends! My Friday perfume is L’Artisan Premier Figuer, from a sample reader Nikki C shared with me. I cannot believe I haven’t tried this. The notes are fig, fig leaf, milk of almond, sandalwood, and coconut. Sounds rather fresh and summery, no?

What are you wearing today?

Have a happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! I’ll be continuing my Penhaligon’s sampling with Artemisia, with notes of nectarine, green foliage, green apple, lily of the valley, jasmine tea, violet, vanilla, oakmoss, sandalwood, musk, and amber. Lovely for spring, no? I plan to post about this and Malabah, so I’ll say no more. Shhh…..

What are you all planning to wear today? From the look of the weather forecast, spring is not being a cooperative season this year. Some of you are buried under snow, while we here in Atlanta are buried under pollen–for now. Early next week we are expecting highs in the low 50s and lows in the low 30s! I am sorry to sound like the Weather Channel, but this is unheard of! I’m so tired of my sweaters…I am ready to wear a skirt and sandals!

I thought this week would be a “comeback” of sorts. I had everything planned for my reviews this week, and then…another stomach bug. Half the office seems to have it. I make a solemn vow that soon I will have more than one post a week about perfume!

Today I’m feeling much better, and I’ve decided to go all springy and try Diorissimo, even though it’s a bit rainy and not super warm. I’m hopeful.

What are all of you, my friends, wearing today…or this weekend? Are you trying something new, or wearing an old favorite? Either way, I hope it enhances a happy weekend!

Good morning all! I’m planning to wear Penhaligon’s Bluebell today. I’ve never tried it before…should be interesting!

What are all you lovelies wearing today or this weekend?

I have a little prize for you. Over the past couple of years I’ve collected a number of samples from purchases, friends, and well-wishers. I hate to see them languishing in the drawer, so I’ve assembled a bunch of sample grab bags. These are samples I’ve tried, or duplicates of things I already own. Some have several days’ worth, some have just enough to wear once to see if you like them. I’ve distributed all kinds of scents across five bags, and I’m giving the first one away this weekend.

Let me know in the comments if you’d like to be included in the drawing. I’ll keep this open through the weekend, and I’ll draw a name on Monday evening.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Hello Friends! This morning I spread out all my new goodies, closed my eyes, and selected Ineke Evening Edged in Gold. I haven’t even sniffed it yet, so this should be an adventure.

What are all of you wearing today? I hope your Friday is a happy one, and your weekend is full of fun and relaxation.
