I got quite a few perfumes, some body washes, and a lotion. I like the way they feel, but I am always hesitant about trying lotions that are scented and the like. Bath and Body Works is nice, but I love my Cetaphil moisturizing cream too much! I'm about 3/4 done with the tub.. eekers. I'll post pics when I finish! Hahaha...
I have a lot of perfumes, and here are some tips to prolong their shelf-life so that they don't change color or start smelling weird:
TIPSERS!!
- Try not to keep your perfume in the bathroom - when you shower it'll steam up the place and it's best to keep perfume at room temperature.
- Don't leave them out where the sun can shine on them!
- I know it's fun to display them on your dresser because they always make such PRETTY BOTTLES, but that's a no-no! The less light you expose your bottles to, the longer your perfume will last.
- Try keeping them in the box and only taking them out when you need to use them.
Continuing on!
The purchases of the day: {from left to right}Mango Temptation Body Wash AND Body Mist! I really really love this scent. So yummy - if you get the chance, try it at the closest VS!! It's sweet and fruity, but not too sweet. I hate the scents that smell like sugar. (Or smell like strawberries & champagne... I did not like that one at all.)
Island Water Body Wash and Body Mist. Surprisingly, I liked it. It smells more like a tropical pineapple. There's a hint of coconut (since the label says there is COCONUT WATER in it, but it's not too strong.
Love Spell Lotion and Perfume. It smelled yummy, so I was like WHY NOT TRY IT??
Pure Seduction Perfume. I love perfume.
Enchanted Apple Perfume. I'm gona give this to my bestie on her birthday because she loves apple scents! I was torn between this scent and another one - but I chose this one in the end. Both had apple-y tones to them, but I felt that this one was a really strong apple. I don't even remember the name of the other one.
I don't know if anyone is wondering why I bought doubles of the same scent... but for the Mango Temptation and Island Water (which I totally recommend to those who love slightly sweet but incredibly fruity scents) they didn't sell the perfume (eau de toilette), and since body mists are generally weaker I was scared to buy just the mist and have the scent fade like... halfway through my day. If I layer the body mist with the body wash (with my scentless lovely Cetaphil in between the two!), then there'd be a longer lasting scent. :]
Since I snapped a shot of my little splurge, I thought I'd also take this opportunity to share with you all my current perfume collection. These are the scents I use the most - I have a few sprays that I left at home for convenience.
Haha! Look at all the water I'm drinking.. Anyway {From left to right}Sinful ~ I believe this is from AnchorBlue? I bought it way back in junior high... eep. I've taken good care of it and look how much I've used! Do they even make this anymore? I really like this scent - it's what I think sexy would smell like if it was trapped in a bottle.
Rose of Bulgaria ~ Um, it isn't a brand. It's just some rose perfume my dad brought back for me from his trip to Bulgaria... apparently that's what they are most famous for! I told him to buy me a keychain, but he said it was crap and made from China anyway! HAHA!!
Shine ~ This is from Charlotte Russe. I bought it about a year and a half ago because it was on sale, but I haven't used it very much. I just think the cap is so cute! (I just realized the cap is missing though... I'm such a loser haha)
Miracle ~ This is by Lancome. I bought it for my mom on Mother's Day in junior high, but she didn't want it so I've kept it and been using it! I lost the cap to this one :[
Love Etc. ~ This is from the Body Shop. I fell in love with this smell late last year - around October? When I discovered it, the perfume was only available in the UK. I was forced to buy it on Ebay... only to find out a week later it was released in the US. -__- story of my life! It's still one of my fav-o perfumes to use, but I try to be stingy with it so it'll last a looong time.
Black Amethyst ~ This is from Bath and Body Works. I was OBSESSED with this smell during fall of 2008. I had the lotion, the body wash... I've long since used up the lotion. I still have about half of the body wash... and this body spray. I use it to kill bugs. Hahaa.
You can see my messy desk. Yuckyuckyuck. I'm in the process of cleaning my room so that I can be more productive about schoolwork instead of spending all my time reading beauty blogs!!! Haha. I hope everyone is healthy and well!
