Hey girls! I am finally back and I have already started reviewing many inexpensive and amazing products. Well, one of them is Britney Spears’ Midnight Fantasy Eau De Parfum. Over the weekend, I made my way to the outlets and went to the Elizabeth Arden outlet. They had many Elizabeth Arden cosmetics as well as most perfumes under their banner for sale there. I found many Britney Spears, Juicy Couture, and Mariah Carey perfumes there. Now, I’ve heard many rumors stating that the Midnight Fantasy fragrance is discontinued and was limited edition but I’m not 100% sure. I got the 1.7 oz. size and originally it is $47 but the outlet price was $35 and I got 20% off of that too so it cost me approximately $27.50. That is an amazing deal for a very pricey and designer fragrance. Well, keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Scent Description: When you first spray it, you get a mix of musk, fruit, and sugar. As the perfume dries down, you mainly smell vanilla amber and lots of fruity goodness. I’d have to say that the fruit is black cherry or plum.
Packaging: The box is dark blue and purple with the name written across it in silver. The bottle is a circular, dark blue globe shaped bottle with gems on it.
Wear time: Unfortunately this product only lasts about 6 hours before you cannot smell it at all.
Overall review: I think that if you really like fruity and sweet perfumes, this one is for you. I’ve heard that this fragrance is made for romantic wear but I’ve worn it during the day and night and I got lots of compliments on it. It’s actually amazing and if you love celebrity fragrances then this is a must have. Well, I hope all of you enjoyed and this may be a really good perfume to get the lady in your life ha-ha!
Recommendation: If you love really fruity fragrances by celebrities then here is your chance to get a really affordable perfume!

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: 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!

Review: Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Mine Again Eau De Parfum Spray
Hi girls! So out of the Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Fragrance Trilogy, I left the best for last which is Mine Again. It’s the boldest one and I thought some of you might have fun with it. Like all of the other fragrances in the lollipop bling collection, this one also retails for $35 for an ounce of perfume. They can be found on Elizabeth Arden's website (link in the side bar). They are currently only sold at Macy’s Stores, but will be available before Valentine’s Day in drugstores. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Scent Description: When you first spray it, you immediately smell blood orange. After the dry down, you smell blood orange, chocolate with raspberries, and some hints of vanilla. Towards the end when the fragrances is almost faded away, it smells like musky vanilla.
Packaging: This fragrance is housed in a red and blue box with holographic images of lollipops and candy. The bottle itself is a glass bottle tinted red with a plastic butterfly top.
Wear time: This wore for 8 hours on me before it was completely worn away.
Overall review: I think that out of the entire Mariah Carey, this one is my least favorite. I still love it to death and if I was stuck on an island, I would want all three with me, but this one is more for a night out. If you’re able to pull off such bold fragrances during the day, then this one would be a favorite of yours. It’s not day appropriate; it is better for a night out or to go clubbing with your hubby. I personally wore this to my cousin’s house one day and my uncle asked “Who is going to the club here?”. I totally cracked up, but then I realized that it’s more of a night scent. Thanks to Leila for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!
Recommendation: If you love bold fragrances then this one’s for you!

Review: Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Ribbon Eau De Parfum Spray
Hi girls! All of you probably know that I couldn’t resist the Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling collection and had to get all three so today I will be reviewing the second one in this collection. It is called Ribbon which is also a name of one of Mariah Carey’s songs. It retails for $35 for 1 oz. They can be found on Elizabeth Arden's website (link in the side bar). It can be found at Macy’s and next year before Valentine’s Day, it will be available at drugstores in a cutesy display with custom made ring pops. Keep reading for my thoughts on this product!
Scent Description: When I first spray it, I immediately smell raspberries and honeydew. After the dry down, I still smell those two things but with a candied vanilla twist. Towards the end, I smell vanilla and sugar crystals.
Packaging: It’s housed in a blue box. The bottle is tinted blue and towards the end of the bottle its tinted pink. The cap is a plastic blue butterfly.
Wear time: It wears on me for about 8 hours. Towards the end of the 8 hour period, it’s basically faded.
Overall review: Most of you probably can tell by the reviews on my blog that I’m a sucker for packaging and this one fit into my must have list. Since I love fruity scents (one again) and sweet scents, I absolutely love this perfume. I think I like it better than all the other scents in this lollipop collection, but I still like all of them. The other fragrance should be reviewed soon so keep on the lookout for that. It’s really wearable for anyone from the age of 13-18. It’s good for anyone under 25 too for a work day. Thanks to Sheena for requesting this review and I hope you all enjoyed!
Recommendation: If you love cute packaging and fruity scents, this one’s for you!

Review: Britney Spears Circus Fantasy Eau De Parfum Spray
Hi girls! Everyone remember this song? I absolutely love Britney Spears Circus song. I just love the beat and everything about it. So when I heard that she was coming out with a fragrance to go with it, I was really intrigued. I thought that it just might be like the song, really bubbly and young. That just how I felt after smelling the scent. It retails for $57.50 for 3.3 fl oz. They can be found on Elizabeth Arden's website (link in the side bar). Keep reading for my thoughts on this product!
Scent Description: When you first spray it, you smell sugary raspberries. After the dry down, you smell raspberries mixed with candy with hints of apricot. Towards the end, you smell all of the stuff above plus vanilla which I love!
Packaging: It is boxed in a light blue box mixed with yellow and red as well as dark blue. When you open the box, there’s a huge picture of Britney Spears the way she looked in her circus music video. The bottle is light blue with red faux gems on it.
Wear time: I get about a full working day of wear which is about 6 hours. Towards the end, only you can smell it on yourself, and in the first couple of hours other can smell it on yourself.
Overall review: I absolutely love this fragrance. I know I don’t have much to say about this fragrance except for “WOW”. It seems like the perfect blend of berries with a touch of sugary candy for me. I think it’s just perfect for people who love berried and candy. The bottle’s packaging is also really cute. Plus, I love Britney Spears (minus the baby incident). I just don’t have enough words to describe it. Thanks to Cecelia for requesting this review and I hope you all enjoyed!
Recommendation: For people who love berries and candy, this is a must have for 6 hour wear on a workday!

Review: Mariah Carey Lollipop Bling Honey Eau De Parfum Spray
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!
