These past few days have been awful, I was always on the go, then got down with the flu, exams are on their way...you can see, it's pretty hectic. But I managed to stay true to my word, so here's my second 'Weekend FOTD' post.
FACE:
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil Free B.B. Cream - Light
MAC Studio Finish concealer - NW20
MAC Select Sheer Loose powder - NW20

This week, I've decided to go for a bit more of a 'flirty' look.
What do you girls think? Isn't Chatterbox just beautiful?
Hello everyone!
I desperately wanted to make a post, but uni and internship kept me busy and very tired, hence the delay.
I got this baby quite a few years ago(4 to be precise) and haven't stopped using it ever since. I wanted to get a kabuki brush for a long time but I wasn't really sure which brand to invest into. So when the MAC holiday collection kits came out, in 2009, I was really drawn into the Pinzapoppin'! kit and the price was great!
I really like the mini version, as I think the 182 buffer brush is too big to fit in all of my powder/highlighter containers.
It's got very dense bristles, which makes it ideal for diffusing colours and making them look more natural. I initially got it, because an MUA told me it's the best brush to use with MAC's MSFs. She was spot on! I never use another brush to apply them, as this makes highlighting seem so natural and effortless.
During the years, I've discovered more ways to use it. I find that it's perfect for buffing out too-strong contours, applying blush and even mineral powder! I now mostly use it to apply MSFs and/or to touch up with powder when I'm out as its size makes it PERFECT to put in your handbag! Last but not least, I want to mention that I haven't had that many problems with shedding, just a single hair here and there, but keep in mind that I've had this for 4 years!
All in all, this is a great investment and I would definitely repurchase, if I ever come across it again. I recommend this to anyone who likes small kabuki brushes as it can be so versatile!
Do you like kabuki brushes?
Hello everyone!
I thought today was the perfect time to talk about one of my favourite cream blushes at the moment!
Calypso Coral, that is!
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Calypso Coral - 22€
I've had this cream blusher for quite some time now, and was suprised that I never paid attention to it. During the colder months I always find myself reaching for cream products, just so I could have that healthy inner glow!
Calypso Coral is a vibrant coral with strong pink tones on my fair NW20 skin. It may not be the most natural, every day colour, but it certainly gives an awakening and refreshing effect. It is ideal for those days when you haven't slept enough, as it gives you an amazing pop of colour! I found it looked more coral on my lips(probably because my lips are not so pink) than my cheeks(which was pinkier). It also looks great when I'm tanner, although a bit more coraley, than pink!
It has a creamy formula, almost like a hardened cream and a dry powdery texture. Most people moan about the Pot Rouges, saying they're too hard to blend, but I find that it blends like a dream. What I do is I take my stippling brush and start blending is circular motions and then, if needed, I finish with my fingers. I have to mention though, as I usually suffer from dry and chapped lips, I moisturise and exfoliate really well before I apply it as it tends to be a bit drying on the lips.
The reason why I love this product is not so much the colour, but the staying power and the fact that it finishes smooth with zero stickiness! Mind you, I LOVE Stila's covertibles, MAC's cream blushes and so many others, but they always tend to be a bit sticky. You will not feel any kind of stickiness with these! They are superb! Also, I do have dry skin(surprise, surprise) especially on my face, so naturally, cream blushes tend to sit well on my skin. And last long, about 4-5 hours. But this is truly amazing. Add the fact that I tend to put my hands on my face a lot, this baby lasts for a solid 8 hours without even fading! Honestly, it's such a life saver as I put my make up in the morning to go to class and I want it to last all day 'till I go to my internship!
Overall, If you're looking for a long-lasting, not greasy cream blusher, then I'd recommend Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges. They do have a nice range of colours that will most likely suit any skin tone and any taste.
What do you think of the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges? Have you tried any?
Greetings beautiful people!
[MAC Strobe Cream, BIOTEN Cleansing Gel, MAC blush in Daft Pink(LE), Essie nail varnish in Berry Hard, Rimmel lipstick by Kate Moss in 16, Estee Lauder High Gloss in 11 Blush, MAC e/s palette in Smoke & Mirrors(LE)]
Firstly, I want to apologize for being absent from blogger these past few weeks. Personal problems have come in the way, add uni too, so I was struggling a bit. Thank God things are getting much better now and I feel much happier and healthier, so blogging is on full swing!
I was reading one of my favourite blogs, ghostparties when I saw this cool feature called "This week I've been wearing" and liked it so much, I stole the idea :)
This week I've been trying the new cleanser by Bioten and I've been pleased, thus far. I absolutely loved the make up wipes from the Quince range(hence why I bought 4 packs of them) and this product is no different! It's refreshing, smells AMAZING and leaves my face sqeaky clean. It also leaves a tingly feeling afterwards but I don't mind, whatsoever.
MAC's Strobe cream has once again come out in the spotlight! This product has got to be one of my favourite hightlighters, if not THE favourite! Its shimmer is so subtle, yet catches the light so beautifully...a MUST-HAVE! I mostly mix this with my foundation as it leaves a healthy, fresh and glowy effect. I'm soon running out of this so I guess I'm stocking up on Christmas?
As you may have noticed by now I much prefer lipsticks to lipglosses but this week, I've rediscovered my love for Estee Lauder's High Gloss in 11 Blush. It's such a 'chic' colour, almost like a bronzy rosy pink(look what I came up with ^_^). It's fairly pigmented but not too much, which makes it perfect for daytime!
Now, lipstick wise(of course), I recently got Rimmel by Kate Moss' lipstick in 16 and I WISH I'd gotten it sooner! It's such a pretty yellow pinky coral, I'm seriously in love. It's very smooth and hydrating for a lipstick and you can lightly dab it on your lips for daytime wear or apply it full on for a night look! Now I'm looking forward to being a bit more tanned, as I think this baby will look even MORE gorgeous!
There's one thing I was a bit hesitant to use this week, even though I used it pretty much everyday, and that's because I don't want to run out, is possible my all time favourite blush. Ever. AND it's limited edition. I'm talking about MAC's blush in Daft Pink of course. It was released a few years ago and have loved it ever since. It's simply beautiful. It's got the kind of shimmer I like and gives the most beautiful glow(if you don't like shimmer, this is a big no-no). The pigmentation for me is great as well, because it does have pay off, but you can work it into your skin as much as you like. The thing I loathe about some blushes, is when they don't give ANY colour or when they're too pigmented and you are scared you're gonna mess up in case you've put too much on your brush. But this...this is perfect. I'm seriously in love. <3
As far as nails go, I went on full autumn mode this week and painted my nails with Essie's Berry Hard. It is a beautiful, rich berry colour that goes pretty much with every piece of clothing I own(EVEN gym clothes). It definitely suits the atmosphere due to the chilly days we've had here this week.
Why, of course, another MAC product! But seriously, I didn't realise how truly beautiful this palette(in Smoke & Mirrors) was up until now. I'm going to make a review soon, showing you all close-ups and stuff but for now limit yourselves to this picture, pretty please :) It's got beautiful neutral shades from highlighters to metallics to dark browns and it's definitely a product I'll be reaching for more often, this winter.
So this is it for thise week's products girls!
What do you think? Have you tried any of these? Let me know!

Hello beauties!
I know I'm awful at posting my monthly favourites on time, but to be honest I didn't really experiment that much during these two months. I seem to have found a beauty regime that really helps my skin and I plan on keeping it as my skin seems to love it :)
Let's start!
1) Avon Clear Skin blemish clearing 3 in 1 cleanser, scrub & mask
This is a product I've been using every 3 days and has helped me quite a lot in terms of the texture of my skin as well as making the overall appearance of my skin better, with less blemishes etc. I have dry skin with very dry patches on my cheeks and this is not very harsh and does the job very well. It is stingy and once you apply it literally feels like your skin's breathing!
2)Baylis & Harding MIYABI hand&body lotion in Cherry Blossom
It may be a lotion but it's got quite a thick consistency that absorbs really quick into the skin which I absolutely LOVE! It is fairly moisturising, plus, it's got the most amazing, fruity scent! Perfect for summer!
3)Bioten cellufight Exfoliating Shower Cream*
I know this is probably the 1000000th time that I say this but, I have very dry skin. Especially on my body. This helps me BIG time for my straw-like skin to feel clean and moisturised, as it completely removes any dead skin cells and harsh skin. A review is coming very soon.
3)Bioten skin repair antiwrinkle & firming night cream*
This is the perfect night cream for me. It is extremely moisturising and once I put it on at night, I wake up with baby soft and radiant skin. It is a bit greasy and takes some time to absorb, but who cares really, I'm just staying indoors!
4)Avon Solutions hydra radiance protecting liposome treatment
For daytime I usually switch my creams between this one and Garnier's Ultra lift. When my skins feel dull and needs a bit of extra moisture, I always reach for this. I wouldn't expect such results from a high-street day cream but it is very moisturising, although I have to wait for a good 10 minutes for it to sink in into the skin. It smells lovely and I highly recommended it to the girls who have dry skin out there! It's quite affordable too.
5)Garnier BB cream
Ok, I have tried. Really hard. I always try to use other foundations with full coverage, medium coverage, heck, I eve tried light coverage, but I always go back to this! Thank God I purchased lots of back-ups when this came out and now I'm fully stocked for summer. It is perfect, the right amount of coverage, the right amount of luminosity, plus, it provides moisture and SPF. Cannot rave about this enough! It's my HG product at the moment!
6)MAC Fix+
There are two ways that I use this. A)to set my make up, B)to refresh my skin. Whenever I use this to set my make-up, it holds everything in place and gives a lovely radiance all over my skin. This is my third bottle and I plan on repurchasing it again! So gutted I didn't get the rose one a couple of years ago ;)
7)Garnier Ultra Lift 2 in 1 Serum & Cream*
Like I said above, this is the moisturiser I choose when my skin feels normal. The combination of cream and serum provides the perfect solution to even out the texture of my skin. It feels a primer, and the foundation afterwards glides on to the skin! Smells lovely too!
8)MAC blush in Daft Pink(LE)
I know this is a bit unfair but, I have not stopped using this blush, day and night! It's such a gorgeous pink colour and it's got an amazing sheen! I can't remember which collection it was from, but I can remember it was a couple of years ago. Sadly I don't want to use it up because, like I said in this post, it is one of my favourite blushes by MAC, ever!
9)Stila Convertible Colour in Gerbera
I wish Stila wasn't descontinued in Greece. It was one of my favourite make-up brands! This one I absolutely love, it translates into a peachy-pink once applied on the cheeks and gives the most beautiful and natural glow! If you can find it anywhere,I highly recommend you purchase one of these! They're worth their money!
***Garnier and Bioten, have kindly sent me these products. I wasn't payed to feature them in any post and they didn't ask for a review. Heck the Ultra lift even came as a gift! :) ***
So, this is it ladies! Have you tried any of these? What do you think? Let me know in the comments section below!
Have a lovely week!
Hello my beautiful readers! Today I thought I'd make a post about the products that I'm lusting over getting for a while now;)
Let's start!
* Images are not mine. I found all of them on Google. I made the collage though ;)*
1. Caudalie Beauty Elixir
Bloggers have been raving about this lately! The price puts me off a bit, as I'm not really into this 'beauty waters' type of thing. This one seems to be different though, enriched will all sorts of vitamins and healing properties for your skin! Besides, it's one of Victoria Beckhams' favourites too!
2. MAC lipstick in Morange
I have no idea why I don't have this in my collection yet. I've been wanting it since last summer, and being a MAC junkie, it seems weird ;). It's a beautiful tangerine colour that would look gorgeous during summer. I think it's probably going to be on my next BACK-2-MAC list!
3. Essie nail polish in Vermillionaire
All the beauty editors have been raving about this. Considering my obsession with all things orange/tangerine, this is a must have!
4. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish hot cloth cleanser
Another product that's been raved about BIG TIME in the beauty blogsphere. I am literally dieing to try this out and I'm planning to do so as soon as possible.
5. Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Peach Whisper
I went into Beautyworks the other day to check this out as it's truly a beautiful peachy colour. The price is a bit high, but I'm thinking of splurging my money on it.
6. 7. Apivita Propoline Shampoo & Conditioner with Almond and Honey
My hair has been suffering from extreme dryness these past few weeks and I always rely on Apivita for situations like this. The price is not very high either so that's a bonus!
8. Bioderma Crealine H2O
As I'm sure you all know, this is a staple for every make up artist out there! As I'm trying to change up my skin care routine to something that suits my dry/sensitive skin more, I'm planning to have this as my make up remover before I use my cleanser! It's convenient that most pharmacies here have it too!
9. Essie nail polish in Navigate Her
I am in LOVE with this colour! It's so chic and spring-y. The perfect Pistachio Green that would make a lovely addition to my nail polish collection!
Have you girls tried any of these products? What do you think?
Hello everyone!
Spring is definitely here, although last week has been a bit of a bummer since it's been rainy and grey.
Now, I love nail polish and I think it can definitely complete the look of an outfit. Spring gives us the change to venture into more colourful hues, which I absolutely adore, so I've accumulated my favourite trends from the runways and I'm showing you girls...
So, let's start!
1. BLUES
I can't even count the times, that I've said blue is my favourite colour. This spring, blue hues will be all over fashion as well as beauty from baby blue and cobalt blue to navy. This is a trend that will stay with us for a while and one that I will definitely try.
(deborah lippmann - On the Beach, OPI - What's with the cattitude, Chanel - A Coco blue, Butter London - Blagger)
2.TANGERINE
For the past few seasons, tangerine and orange have been a HOT trend going on. They are vivid, brighten up the whole outfit AND your mood. This is surely a trend that will be very popular this spring.
(deborah lippmann - Lara's Theme, Essie - Orange, It's Obvious, OPI - Brights Power, Essie - A bright orange)
3.NEON/BRIGHTS
Brights have always been on trend during spring. This year is no exception. Neon colours are popular as well, only this year they've taken a more, kind of modern twist to them. This year's neons are creamier and more grown-up. Definitely not the highlighter hues that we were used to before.
(deborah lippmann - daytripper, butter london - slapper, deborah lippmann - between the sheets, butter london - cheeky chops)
4.PASTELS
Pastels will always be on trend for spring. They look so chic and sophisticated! Nothing more to say here. End of!
(RGB - Vellum, China Glaze - Lemon Fizz, China Glaze - For Audrey, Essie - Hot as hello)
5.GREENS
Greens are a huge trend this year with an emphasis on Pistachio Green for spring. Last year may have been the year of mint green but this year, Pistachio takes its glorious place. Oh it's such a lovely and sophisticated colour!
(Essie - Nagivate Her, Nicole by OPI - Ladies in the Limelight, RGB - Dew, butter london - dosh)
6.FUCHSIA
I have recently started to like Fuchsia on my nails. No, I mean REALLY like it. I think it's a modern version of the classic red in my eyes! This spring's runways have seen a lot of fuchsia on the model's nails and it's definitely something that I'm going to stick to! It adds the right ammount of edgyness and femininity.
(Chanel - Rose Insolent, deborah lippmann - Sweet Dreams, Dior - Lucky, Essie - Tour de Finance)
7.NUDES
Last but not least, a staple for spring, nude colours have been on trend for several years now. Think more heart-warming, earth-ey tones that elongate your fingers. This one screams sophistication and femininity!
(Essie - Sand Tropez, butter london - Yummy Mummy, deborah lippmann - before he cheats, OPI - Let Them Eat Rice Cake)
**Images are not mine. They are courtesy of Dior, Essie, Deborah Lippmann, OPI, Sephora, China Glaze, RGB, Chanel, butter london and there's a couple that I found on google. Although I did put the effort to make the collages by myself xD**
Which trend is your favourite? Have you tried any of these? If not, are you planning to? Please let me know in the comments section below :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello dolls!
It's a lovely and sunny Sunday afternoon and I decided I should make a new post today! *ahem, trying to keep up with the tag posts!*
This tag, is one of my favourites and has been around for a couple of months now and it seems like everyone is doing it. Several people have tagged me and I can't give credit to just one so...
let's start!
Questions:
1.GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
My most inexpensive beauty item should probably be my HnM eyebrow gel. I got it in a rush, it's nothing special, it's just clear gel, and does the job. That's my 1E spend wisely ;) Most expensive item goes to my Dior Jazzclub Palette.
2.WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?
I always am a bit skeptical about MAC's mineralize eyeshadows. Some of them are great! When applied wet, they give the most gorgeous, intense pay off, but others seem just so so bad. Payoff sucks, far too glittery and chalky too much fall out, make my life a living hell when applying make up. The product that has been the hardest to get is my St.Moriz fake tanner. It's not pictured here, but it has given me the hardest of times to get it because it's not sold here in Greece and I don't particularly like purchasing from Ebay. Fleur from Fleur De Force sent me one a few years ago and and I'm still thankful!
3.GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
The Korres lip butters definitely! They smell and taste gorgeous! You should get one to know what I'm talking about. I have Jasmine, Mango Quince and Pomegranate and I am addicted!
4.SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
It has to be primer. I just always forget to apply it before my foundation. When it's 6 o'clock in the morning and you're running late but haven't quite woken up yet, you can't just remember to put primer before foundation, can you? :P
5.PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
Mascara. If I had to choose just ONE beauty product to apply for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. This is due to the fact that I have extremely light eyelashes and look like I have none when I'm bare faced *aka, like an alien* I wish I was a lucky girl and had dark eyelashes, that would make my life so much easier! If I wasn't thinking about my eyelashes' lightness, then I would choose blush. I think blush gives life to any face, it can make you look fresh and awake. I just adore blush, end of.
6.LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
I have these weird interests that I find the most attractive...First it's the voice, Ι like it to be heavy, but soft, captivating...and then it's the hands, I always look at the hands... I'm weird I tell you.
7.ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
I'm just so hard at this. I'm always thankful for the presents I receive even though I may not always like them. Hmm, let's see...classy and/or cute jewellery, MAKE UP of course and because I'm a nerd, I really like books. Now that I'm thinking about it, I never disliked any books I received as gifts! *NERD*
And, 'cause I'm in SUCH a good mood today, I tag everyone who reads this post to do the tag, and let me know about it! I'd love to read it!
Did you girls like this? Let me know!

Hello beauties!
Hope you're all doing alright! Things are getting a bit better over here so I wanted to make a post about a product that, I literally wore every single day during January.
That is MAC's Margin blusher, of course!
On the website, it's described as a peach with gold shimmer, but I would describe it as muted peach with beige shimmer running through it. It is such a lovely colour that, I believe, suits every skin tone and is perfect for every day.
It has got the most amazing sheen, the shimmer in it is so fine that it looks like it gives an inner glow rather than some glitter ball effect on your face. I highly, HIGHLY recommend everyone to, at least, go and check it out as it may seem a bit boring on the pan and wouldn't necessarily be the one to catch your eye, but it's such a pretty and chic colour!!!
Margin swatched, and blended on the right
I have no idea why this wasn't in my collection earlier, it definitely was something that I REALLY wanted from my Christmas wishlist and it's surely worth its price. So here it is, in its full glory!
Have you girl tried it? If so what do you think?
Have a wonderful week!
Hello my gorgeous readers! I hope you're all doing alright!
Blush may be my all time favourite make up item, but lipstick is something that I invest in as well. From the palest hues to the most vibrant ones lipstick can change one's look in a split of a second. So, here is a list of my favourite MAC lipsticks!
Freckletone: Frecktone is described as a neutral peach and that's exactly what it is! For everyday use, I tend to choose warmer lipstick tones such as peaches or peachy pinks. I never was the type for pale nudes so Freckletone is my kind of nude. It has a lustre finish and pretty much goes with anything. *ahem it's neutral* I reckon it would suit most skintones and it can be worn during the day and during the night too. I think Frecktone is something that every lady, who loves lipsticks, out there should go and check out. (*sign* you NEED this in you lives!)
Snob: Snob was one of my first MAC lipsticks, and this is my second tube of it. I remember getting it because of all the hype around it. It's a ,satin finish, pale pink with lilac undertones in it and would probably suit cooler skintones. I don't mind wearing this in the summer when my skin's a little bit more tanned, but it's also a real treat during winter, because it easily makes, such a ladylike look. I have this weird thought that Snob suits blondes better, don't know why, but I'm more keen on seeing this on golden-haired ladies.
Pink Nouveau: I purchased Pink Nouveau about a year ago, when Lady Gaga came out with her Viva Glam lipstick and whilst she did interviews she said that Pink Nouveau was the lipstick of her choice. So you understand that there was quite a big fuss about this lipstick. Nevermind the fame, Pink Nouveau is a unique and beautiful lipstick colour on its own. It's a bright pink with a satin finish that can spice up any look that you're wearing. It is said that it suits brunettes better than blondes, I, being a blonde, insist that it looks JUST as gorgeous on blondes as it does on brunettes. Be careful though, as it can sometimes look very Barbie-like.
Impassioned: Impassioned is a lipstick that I can't quite describe. On the MAC website it's described as an amped-up fuschia. I say it's a very hot pink, with warmer orangey undertones. I have no idea why, as it always stood out to me on the MAC counter but I only got this on my 19th birthday last year and I instantly fell in love with it! It's such a fun colour to have around, it's not quite fuschia, not quite red. It's in between. I would probably like this one everyone, blondes, brunettes and even redheads, used lightly or full on. I usually like this kind of colour more in the summer but I don't mind using this during winter as well! Difenitely go and check this out!
Lady Danger: Lady Danger is my favourite kind of red! I love reds and I think that they look quite glamorous, so over the years I've acculumated quite a collection of blue-toned and yellow-toned lipsticks. This one falls in the latter. It's a bright orangey red, with a matte finish, that would probably suit any paler skintones even if they're warm or cool. It makes such a glamorous look, because in my opinion, matte lipsticks are way more classier than creamier ones, so matte red lipsticks are the epitome of class. What I love the most about this lipstick is that you can play with it and intensify the tones you'd like,yourself! Wear it with a warm blush and it instantly makes the orangey tones stand out, or wear it with a cool toned blush and the red-ey tones stand out. I'm not sure if I'd recommend this to everyone, I've come to realise that it suits different skintones with different faces and such, so it'd be nice if you went to a MAC counter and tried it out by yourself.
Media(LE): Media is a limited edition lipstick that came out with a collection that I can't remember the name of, last winter. It's a burgundy colour, more of a deep red wine. It's supposingly a satin finish but I find it to be more creamier than any other satin lipsticks I've got. To be honest it's the darkest lipstick that I own, and one that I rarely use. I tend to use it during the winter months. What I love about this lipstick is that you can use it full on, and make a statement or you could use it lightly as a stain or even as a blush.
*lipstick swatches*
Have you, girls, tried any of these lipsticks? What do you think? What are your favourite MAC lipsticks?
The house of Yves Saint Laurent is pleased to announce that the talented British actress Emily Blunt is the new face and ambassador for their perfume, Opium.
Emily Blunt has become one of the most popular and respected actresses in our days. Her versatile talent, can been seen through a series of very different roles. Her memorable interpretation of Emily, the senior assistant as seen in the the award-winning comedy "The Devil Wears Prada". Equally impressive was the dramatic depiction of a new queen in the film "The Young Victoria». Both appearances, won Golden Globe and were nominated for the BAFTA awards. Finally television gave her one of her best roles, playing Natasha in the series "Gideon's daughter", for which she won a Golden Globe for Supporting Actress.
"It is my great honor to have been selected to be the face of OPIUM. I have great admiration for the house of Yves Saint Laurent and I think that YSL always truly understood the expression of elegance - the mystique and untold strength. This is a truly exciting experience to incarnate this legendary perfume, which has stood the test of time, without ever reducing its charm. Being part of this new campaign and being able to tell the story of this very symbolic fragrance is really exciting, "said Emily Blunt.
Opium is an Oriental-spicy perfume created for fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent by perfumer Jean Amic and Jean-Louis Sieuzac of Roure, first marketed in 1977. Its top notes are a mixture of fruit and spices, with mandarin orange, plum, clove, coriander and pepper, as well as bay leaf. Its floral middle notes consist predominantly jasmine, rose and Lily of the Valley, in addition to carnation, cinnamon, peach and orris root. It is underlined by the sweet woody base note containing sandalwood, cedarwood, myrrh, opopanax, labdanum, benzoin and castoreum, in addition to amber, incense, musk, patchouli, tolu and vetiver. ~ Extract taken from wikipedia~
I am personally really excited for this, Emily Blunt is one of my favourite actresses, and Belle D' Opium is one of my favourite perfumes. So this one won't differ that much. I'm very eager to get this on my hands as soon as i can!
What do you think? Have you ever tried Opium? Have you ever purchased it?
