Hi girls! So this month I got the latest issue of Lucky magazine and guess who had a fragrance ad on like the 10th page? Mariah Carey. She released her newest Lollipop Bling fragrance collection (as being part of Elizabeth Arden fragrances) this month and it’s really got all the teens talking. It’s very attractive with lollipops and candy everywhere. She got the idea when Nick Cannon proposed to her with a custom made ring pop. She released 3 fragrances in this collection and one of them, I’ll be reviewing today. It’s called Honey names after one of her songs. It retails for $35 for 1 fl. oz. It is currently available at Macy’s, but soon next year before Valentine’s Day will be hitting drugstores with a cutesy display right next to the ring pops. They can also be found on Elizabeth Arden's website (link in the side bar). Keep reading to see my thoughts on this perfume!
Scent Description: When you first spray it, you get a fruity (but not too sweet) blast of pineapple. After the dry down, you get notes of mango and lemon juice (not sour, more like a sweet lemon candy) as well as sheer freesia (the one you get at Bath and Body Works).
Packaging: The perfume comes enclosed in a yellow box with pictures of candy all over it. The bottle itself is an egg shaped glass bottle tinted yellow with a plastic butterfly cap.
Wear time: I get about 8 hours of wear with this perfume. When you spray it on, people around you can smell it for about 5 hours as well as yourself, but after the 5th hours, only you can smell it (if you spray it on your wrists or décolleté like me).
Overall review: It’s ultra wearable for anyone under 25 (because the majority doesn’t work). Since, I’m under that gap, I find it wearable and the boy also likes it. The fragrance collection is targeted for girls ranging from 13-18 so I think it’s more of a young fragrance. I don’t think my 70 year old grandma can pull this fragrance off. Since I’ve told you numerous times, I like fruity and sweet fragrances and this is exactly that, I love it! Thanks to Angel for requesting this review and thanks for reading!
Recommendation: If you’re into fruity fragrances, or you just collect celebrity fragrances, this one is a must have in your collection!

Review: Elizabeth Arden Good Morning Skin Serum
Hi girls, today I’m reviewing the Elizabeth Arden Good Morning Skin Serum. It retails for $34 from Elizabetharden.com, Elizabeth Arden counters, selected boutiques, and from online counters. It’s basically a silicone based primer to prime and smooth your face before you apply moisturizer or any face makeup. Keep reading for more information.
Pros:
-Moisturizing.
-Very silky.
-It actually fills in lines and pores to smooth it before foundation or moisturizer application.
-A little bit goes a long way.
Con(s):
-It a bit on the pricey side, but it lasts you a while!
Overall review: Since its allergy tested and I have sensitive skin, I wasn’t hesitant to use this product. It works on all types of skin and one of my clients had very rough skin and I exfoliated it and used this to prime before moisturizing and foundation application and her makeup went on very smoothly. Since it was her wedding day, I didn’t even have to touch up once, not including when I touched up her lipstick and powder before the reception. This product is very universal and it’ll be the best $34 you every spend. A pea sized amount does your entire face with some left over. I normally just use it where I have laugh lines and my T-zone because I don’t need it anywhere else. I hope you enjoyed this review.
Would I purchase it again? : Yes!
Rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10 Frosted glass bottle with a pump.
