Review: Mariah Carey Luscious Pink Eau De Parfum Spray

Hey girls! So yet again for the millionth time today, I’m reviewing a fragrance. After my really good experience with Mariah Carey’s Lollipop Bling fragrances I decided to venture out and try more of Mariah Carey’s perfumes. This time I tried her Luscious Pink fragrance. It released a year or two ago and since then has won the hearts of fragrance lovers everywhere. They have 2 sizes available and the 3.4 fl oz. fragrance retails for $65 from many department stores. I personally love it and keep reading to see why!


Scent Description: When you first spray it, you get an explosion of sweet peony mixed with musky sandalwood. After the dry down you smell the peony except the muskiness of it is a little turned down and it’s a bit sweeter.


Packaging: This perfume is housed in a pink box with Mariah Carey’s picture on it and a picture of the bottle on it. The actual box though is light pink with the name of the fragrance written on it. The perfume bottle itself is just like the bottle for the lollipop bling fragrances except this one is pink with a pink plastic butterfly cap.


Wear time: This scent wears for about 8 hours before being completely worn away.


Overall review: I think the only reason I like this fragrance so much is because I am a hardcore fruity floral fragrance lover. I also admire the packaging but I care a little bit more about what is inside the bottle. I like this fragrance but it’s more of the conservative type. It wouldn’t be casually appropriate thus being the perfect feminine scent for work. I think that every working woman needs this perfume. Since I do my rotation no I desperately needed a scent like this. Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a great day!

Recommendation: If you need a conservative scent then I would definitely recommend this!

Review: Juicy Couture Peace, Love, and Juicy Eau De Toilette

Hi girls! So ever since I heard that Juicy Couture was releasing a new fragrance, I was so hyped about it. I couldn’t wait to try it out and finally when I did, I have come to love it. It’s called Peace, Love, and Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture. I have the 1.7 fl oz. size which is $67. They also have another size which is for $87. You can find it in Macy’s and Elizabeth Arden’s website. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this fragrance!


Scent Description: When you first spray it, you get a whiff of green floral scents and the scent of orange blossoms. After the dry down, you get a mix of musky floral and honeysuckle.


Packaging: This perfume is boxed in a light pink/dark pink box with the name of the perfume written all over the box. The actual bottle is a square bottle with the Juicy Couture emblem in the middle of the bottle. The cap is a huge faux crystal with a turquoise stone bracelet around the cap. It has 3 pink pom- poms and 2 Juicy Couture charms on it.

Wear time: This perfume wears for a good 8 hours until it’s completely worn away.

Overall review: I absolutely love the packaging. It’s really complex, girly, and just wow. It’s nice and bohemian. It’s targeted for girls around the ages of 13-21 and I think it’s absolutely age appropriate for them. The scent always blows my mind. I just love it. I have used it repetitively for 2 weeks since I got it. I think it’s an amazing buy if you love unique florally scents. This is different when compared to the other Juicy Couture fragrances, but if you ever go to Macy’s, do sniff it and let me know what you think. I do admit it’s a bit steep for a perfume, but if you really like the perfume then one bottle will last you a very long time! Thanks to all of your support and more reviews coming soon!

Recommendation: I would definitely recommend it if you dig floral scents and don’t mind spending $67 on a perfume.

Review: CHI Silk Infusion Hair Serum

Hey girls! Sometimes I think I don’t review enough hair products. So recently I got the chance to try an infamous hair serum by CHI. It is their Silk Infusion hair serum. Now, I straighten my hair a lot and many times I’m scared of damage happening to my hair so ever since I started using this, my hair felt healthier, stronger, and smoother. This bottle was the one that I found at Misikko.com for $12.99 for the 2 oz. size. They also sell CHI flat irons, professional hair dryers, and many more hair products. Keep reading to see what I think about this product!

Pro(s):
-It makes my hair smell good and not feel dry.
-It helps hair stay flat and not standing up.
-It protects against the heat of many styling products!

Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!

Overall review: I absolutely love this product! I don’t feel any dryness in my hair after I use the straightening iron. Normally near the parting of my hair I have random stray hairs coming out and with this serum it calms all of that and it all stays sleek and nice. It also protects your hair from heated styling tools. I think that’s a good thing because sometimes I see smoke coming from the iron when I’m straightening my hair and it scares me a bit sometimes. I think that anyone who uses hair tools on a daily basis should really get it. It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth the money. Thanks for reading girls and I hope you all have a great day!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes; if you don’t want straw like hair after using any hair tools!

Review: SKIN1 By Dr. Gram Clarifying Cleanser

Hey girls! So lately I feel like I’m reviewing a lot of stuff that’s skin related. Well, I can’t help but pay attention to products that help me clear my skin. I recently got the chance to try out a product by Dr. Gram. He’s a pharmacist with his own skincare line. They make cleansers, toners, masks, and moisturizers which help different skin types maintain their skin. I tried the clarifying cleanser which is meant to gently clean skin and over time fade blemishes. It retails for $34 off of their website. Keep reading to see my thoughts on it!


Pro(s):
-This cleanser smells like lavender which isn’t too heavy of a scent.
-It doesn’t dry out my skin and prevents my break outs.
-I do think that some of my blemishes have faded.

Con(s):
-It may dry out your skin if you have dry skin.

Overall review: I think that this is a wonderful cleanser if you have a lot of acne blemishes. I personally think it’s best for normal to oily skin. Maybe dry skinned people might feel that this dries their skin up a bit. I do think it’s good for the summer time, but for the winter it may dry out your skin. I love that it doesn’t have any parabens or sulfates. I like everything about this product because it’s amazing. Thanks for reading and I appreciate all of your support!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you don’t have dry skin and want to get rid of blemishes then I would recommend this for you!

Review: Bodycology Body Cream

Hey girls! So lately since the season transition is starting, my skin feels like it chafes a lot after I take a shower. Maybe it’s me using plain old body soap instead of anything awesome so I really need a good moisturizer to use after I shower. Today I will be reviewing the Bodycology Body Cream. It retails for $5.49 and you can buy it from many drugstores as well as online. Keep reading to see my review on this product!

Pro(s):
-It’s really moisturizing without being too greasy.
-It absorbs really fast and isn’t too thick feeling.
-Its smells good, make a wide range of scents, and won’t irritate sensitive noses.

Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!

Overall review: I absolutely think that the Bodycology brand is an amazing dupe for Bath and Body Works except cheaper. This product is $5.49 and the Bath and Body Work one is $10 so which one would you choose. I absolutely love this and it works really nicely. The moisture lasts me all day and doesn’t soap up when on contact with water. I suggested this to a few of my best friends and all of them loved it. Thanks to Kristal for requesting this review and I hope all of you find it very helpful!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes; it’s amazing as an after shower moisturizer without being too greasy!

Review: Britney Spears Radiance Eau De Parfum

Hi girls! So apparently I wasn’t updated to the fragrance world until now and I wasn’t aware that a new fragrance releases every month. So some new releases this month include Juicy Couture’s Peace, Love, and Juicy as well as Britney Spears Radiance perfume. Today I will be reviewing the Britney Spears Radiance perfume. The bottle I have is the 1.7 oz. one and the 3.3 fl. oz. bottle retails for $59.50. You can find it at Macy’s as well as many other department stores. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!


Scent Description: When you first spray it you smell a mix of berries with some hints of floral-ness. After the dry down, you get notes of musky vanilla and amber.


Packaging: This product is packaged in a silver holographic rectangular box bordered with jewels and the name of the perfume is written in the middle. The perfume itself is housed in a rectangular perfume bottle with jewels embedded into the bottle. The color scheme gears towards pink and blue.


Wear time: The perfume wears for about 6 hours before it is completely faded away.

Overall review: I think that this perfume is perfect in every way. It’s actually good for many ages. My 45 year old mother wore this and a woman actually complemented her. I thought it was too overrated for teens but actually it correctly defines a teen; fruity and fun! It does have a sophisticated edge to it which makes it wearable for other ages other than teens. Thanks to Bubu for requesting this review and I’m glad I can help all of you make choices for perfumes!

Recommendation: If you love fruity floral scents then this one is for you!

Update: September 19th, 2010

Hey girls, I know I havent been blogging for a while now (about two weeks) and I'd like to truly apologize from the bottom of my heart. I've received many emails asing if I was dead and I'm very sorry about all the MIA-ness. Now I'm back in the blogosphere and I'll try to update atleast twice a week. I have many reviews to post since many new products have come out. I think someone requested for me to have a section on this blog where I post some sneek previews of the posts coming soon. I'll try making that happen anytime this week. I finally got adjusted to my new job and as most of you know, blogging is my hobby and NOT my job so I do have a life of my own I have to concentrate on, but will all of your support I have come this far. I will be posting more perfume reviews since I've gotten more into perfumes lately. I got a chance to try out many fragrances and I would love to share the reviews with all of you. Also I got sneek previews to New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 and I will be posting reviews of some products that were used there. Also, MAC will be releasing their Venomous Villains collection and as soon I get my hands on something from that collection it ill be reviewed ASAP. I hope all of understand my situation, thanks!

Review: DuWop Iced Teas Lip Treatment

Hey girls! So today I will be reviewing yet another unique product. It’s the DuWop Iced Tea lip treatment. Basically they’re these lip treatments that come in a variety of tints and they all taste and smell like iced tea mixed with mint. I have the white peach iced tea and it retails for $19. You can buy it off of DuWop’s site as well as in Sephora stores and their website. I think it’s definitely worth praise and you probably will too after reading my review!


Pro(s):
-Very sanitary in stick form and tastes good.
-Very moisturizing and good to use as a base for any lip product.
-It smoothes out the lines on my lips and the scent isn’t too heavy or disturbing.


Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted!

Overall review: I absolutely love this product. I don’t understand why DuWop doesn’t get enough recognition for their products. Well, I can safely say that this product is worth buying. It’s a lip treatment that tastes good, smells good, and moisturizes well. I think that anyone looking for a good lip primer will like this. Even though it’s not officially a lip primer, it’s just as good. When used on its own you get a nice glossy finish. I hope all of you enjoy my review and thanks for reading!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, if you’re willing to shell out $19 for a good lip treatment.

Review: Softlips Pure 100% Natral Hydrating Lip Butter

Hey girls! Sorry for the obnoxiously long break (5-6 days), but I just had tons and tons going on. Well, that timeframe gave me the chance to test out more products. Well, since we’re transitioning from summer to fall very soon, the weather will definitely dry out your lips. I know that every time I go to California, my lips get super dry. So, the one product that I’ve been swearing by lately is the new Softlips Vanilla Berry Lip butter. This is a new product from their recent 100% natural line. It can be found at almost all drugstores for an affordable price of $5. Keep reading for my thoughts on this product!


Pro(s):
-It’s really moisturizing, clear, and gives of sheen.
-It comes in a squeeze tube and it has SPF 15.
-It’s pretty affordable compared to Korres and other lip butters.


Con(s):
-None found while the testing of this product was conducted.


Overall review: I think the fact that it comes in a squeeze is really attracting about this product. It’s also conveniently found at all drugstores and is thus easily accessible. I just love that it’s like a paste instead of a solid butter in a jar (like Korres lip butter). It’s really good for germophobes who hate to dig their dirty fingers in pots or jars of product. It’s great to use under your lipstick/gloss as it keeps more moisture in. A crazy thought after seeing my swatch photo was that this product looks a bit like sperm to me. I guess it’s just me because I have perverted thoughts lol! I hope all of you enjoyed and thanks to Juanita for requesting this review!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you don’t want to shell out $10 for Korres lip butter, this will do the job for less!
