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: DuWop Private Nude and Private Plum Lipsticks


Hey girls! So you all know that we’re transitioning from Summer to Fall and we have different fall trends like nude lips and dramatic eyes or luminous neutral skin and dramatic lips. I think that’s why it’s the perfect time for DuWop to add to their private lipstick collection. Last year, their famous Private Red lipstick launched and for fall 2010, they’re launching another two shades in their line. Those two shades are called Private Nude and Private Plum. They will retail for $22 each and will be available in September 2010 at Sephora stores and Sephora’s site. Keep reading to see what I think about this product!


Pro(s):
-It’s moisturizing and leaves a nice stain.
-It glides on like butter and stays for a total of 6-7 hours.
-It’s really opaque in one coat and it stays on for 2 hours and after that it’s just a nice stain.


Con(s):
-It does dry my lips a bit, but it’s nothing that lip balm can’t fix.

Overall review: For some reason I think that DuWop doesn’t get enough recognition because their lipsticks are amazing. The thing with a matte or moisturizing lipstick is that it stays on like a balm, but what if you can find a lipstick that transforms from a lipstick to a stain without the cracked lips feel. I think if you like moisturizing lipsticks with a stain, this is perfect. The only thing is that the shade range is a bit limited. Last year, there was only one shade and this year they are introducing two more. These lipsticks claim to be shade adjusting, but I didn’t notice anything like that. I just noticed that the nude shade didn’t wash me out and make me look like a ghost. Also, they plum shade doesn’t look old-lady like on me which is sort of adjusting. Thanks to Jenna for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed this review!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, if you can shell out $22 for an amazing quality lipstick.
