Daisy Dreams by Marc Jacobs Review

I was treated to a number of presents from my friends and family mid April since it was my birthday. Celebrating a birthday is always a joyous occasion; spending time with my loved ones whom I don't see all that often. From the numerous gifts I received, today I will be discussing a lovely fragrance which my darling older sister gifted me - Marc Jacobs' new Eau De Toilette, Daisy Dreams!!

For me this was a new fragrance; I hadn't heard about it nor had I seen it in Jeddah. My sister had been visiting from London, United Kingdom and this was one of the popular fragrances out there.

Daisy Dreams by Marc Jacobs (Gift set)

First of all, how gorgeous is the box?! It's so pretty makes me think of snowflakes and the winter chill.

Daisy Dreams Eau De Toilette, Shower Gel, and Body Cream

Daisy Dreams Eau De Toilette

The bottle is so pretty and would add to the beauty of any vanity .. I simply adore this! Marc Jacobs has one of the best looking fragrance bottles on the market today and this is no different. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite bottles in my collection.

To me, Daisy Dreams has a fresh light fragrance, which has fruity hints at the same time.

Marc Jacobs describes it as the following, "Daisy Dream is a fruity floral fragrance with a light and airy touch. Inspired by the boundless spirit of daisies and blue skies, Daisy Dream reflects Marc Jacobs’s irresistible mix of intricate details, elegance and femininity for a fresh interpretation of the iconic Daisy motif. The fragrance bursts with top notes of blackberry, grapefruit and pear. The heart notes are introduced with a bouquet of jasmine, lychee and blue wisteria. A medley of white woods, musks and coconut water reveal the base notes."

When I wear this fragrance, it sort of reminds me of Chanel Chance Eau De Tendre, the pink one if you're curious. I can't say it's exactly the same. They both are different in their own right, but may have some similar notes.

Let me have you know that I am no expert in describing scents, but I can certainly tell you that this is a lovely Eau De Toilette to wear from Spring through Summer. I don't think it would be all that nice to wear during Autumn, unless like me, you live in a hot country where it really doesn't matter.

I would highly recommend this Eau De Toilette!! Do check it out at a counter if you're sensitive to smells, but I can tell you this is a fragrance that didn't give me a fragrance induced headache or an asthma attack.

To fresh scents and hot summers!! ..

Mario Badescu Skincare | Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water

Living with constant air conditioning in sunny, Saudi Arabia, my skin tends to lose moisture. I can't reapply moisturizers on top of make-up when I am on the go. So, I love to use facial sprays as they kill two birds with one stone. They are great for adding dewiness to the skin and also great pick me ups during the working day. A inexpensive option which I have tried and come to love is the Mario Badescu Skincare Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water. Mario Badescu Skincare Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water This is a great facial spray which will only set you back by a measly $7!! What a deal!! Certainly check it out if you're in the market for a facial spray and don't want to invest in the luxury brands!!

Philip Kingsley | Body Building Shampoo

Every girl wants big, voluminous hair making heads turn by the millisecond. I am jus the same, maybe not wanting all that attention, but certain love big hair! I have been using Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo for quite a while and have come to love it! Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo works like a charm on thin or fine to limp hair by adding body and texture to it. I find that it also clarifies my hair just as well as any clarifying shampoo. My hair tends to dry out a bit if I don't use a conditioner. But, nothing really comprises the body this bad boy gives. It retails for £18 at www.l ookfantastic.com for a bottle of 250ml.

Origins | A Perfect World

I used to use a particular face wash some years ago and then strayed off the path in search for something different. I was raiding my beauty closet and luckily this face wash was still in date!! * happy days..wink * I decided to use Origins A Perfect World face wash and old memories just came flooding back. Origins A Perfect World This is a no brainer!! It is not complicated like some other face washes which you either have to apply on dry skin to activate the exfoliating enzymes or wet skin so it slides effortlessly so as to unclog your pores. With this face wash, you simply squirt a dime size of the gel/cream and I apply it on my wet face. I like to massage my facial washes to help me relax after a tiring work day. This is not only relaxing, but also helps clear out any grime which may be festering in my pores. After use, my skin was wonderfully clean without it being tight. Origin states the following: " Th...
