On My Beauty Wishlist: Juliette Has A Gun Magnolia Bliss Eau De Parfume

Image
  Beauty lovers, let all of us take a deep breath and rejoice that we all made it to Thursday/Friday eve. I hope that all of you will have the best weekend yet.  Juliette Has A Gun is a very unique name for a beauty brand, but it definitely got my attention when I was on the Sephora website a few weeks ago. The brand was created in France between Paris and Grasse by Romano Ricci, great-grandson of Nina Ricci. A twisted heroine of Shakespeare transported into the 21st century with a gun, a metaphor for her perfume, her weapon of seduction. A collection of fragrances designed for one who also understands that wearing a signature scent goes far beyond the simple fact of smelling just “nice”. It’s a statement. An affirmation of who you are. Romano Ricci aims to restore perfumes to what they should always be: emblems of style and originality. I'm a big fan of floral scents, and I saw the Magnolia Bliss Eau De Parfume and love the bottle, This fresh floral perfume contains hint...

Harper Wilde Is My New Best Friend

Image
  Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope that all of you have had a great weekend with your loved ones and are ready to tackle the week that's ahead of you.  I don't care if you are a regular size or plus size girl, bra shopping is the absolute worst. Going bra shopping for me growing up was the most nerve-wracking thing that I ever had to experience, I couldn't get pretty bras like my friends did, I had the uber grandma bras and I really didn't feel confident in my skin at all. Harper Wilde has bras that are not only comfortable but practicable for all of us to wear in our everyday lives.  When Jenna and Jane created Harper Wilde, they couldn’t find the answers to these questions. Instead, as they delved deeper into this world of intimates, we found injustices, absurdities, and some humor along the way. This inspired them to create a company and a brand that women are proud to wear and stand behind. Harper Wilde is a company for all women, including the future generation of le...

On My Fashion Wishlist: Christian Dior CD Signature Oval Camera Bag

Image
  Happy Tuesday fashion lovers, I'm so happy to be here again with all of you and talk about my favorite thing in the entire world, besides desserts, fashion.  I know a lot of people don't care for the creative direction that Dior is going in, but personally, I love it. Fashion in my opinion should not be so stuffy all the time, we need to enjoy Fashion for what it is a creative sense of expression. Last week I was on the Dior website and I saw a bag that really caught my eye quite frankly, I don't that Dior has ever designed a bag this shape before.  This bag is new for Fall 2023, Maria Grazia Chiuri has created the CD Signature oval Camera bag to combine functional design with Dior's modern spirit. Crafted in golden saddle calfskin, it is distinguished by an embossed CD signature on the front, demonstrating House savoir-faire. Featuring a spacious compartment, it is completed by three interior card slots and a two-way zip closure. Its leather top handle and adjustable...

 Happy Thursday/Friday eve to every single beauty lover reading this beauty blog post, I hope that all of are ready for the weekend. I was on Tik Tok a few days ago and I saw a beauty content creator who was using a new product that I'd never heard of before, so I clicked on the product link in her video and I saw that it was from a brand called Cosrx that I saw a couple of years ago and, to be honest, they totally skipped my mind. Cosrx believes that cosmetics should give more than just outward beauty. They are devoted to enabling individuals to find solutions according to their personal skin conditions. They strive to help their customers to gain self-confidence, and ultimately find their own unique beauty inside. Since 2002 and finally, “Cosmetics + RX(Prescription) = COSRX” was founded in 2013. Cosrx researchers experiment and study ingredients and prescriptions directly in the COSRX laboratory. They develop products from various perspectives by product types/concerns/ingredien...

 Happy Monday, my beauty lovers, I hope that you guys had a great weekend and I hope that you will have a great 4th Of July. The reason that I'm doing this beauty blog early is that I wanted to take the week off just to give my body and mind some rest. I feel that it's my job to be as honest and transparent with you as possible. Now, it would not be a beauty blog post from me if I didn't mention a nail polish brand that I love. Mooncat is all about being true to yourself. It's for the misfits, the dreamers, the outcasts, the wanderers. the ones who know darkness is beauty, mystique is power, and the universe isn’t meant to make sense.
