Hello Gorgies!

This post will have a stylish perfume, because this is about my favorite perfume of all times, yeah I know I always say that :))), but this time I feel that this is the ONE... Tom Ford Black Orchid Perfume. Oh my God! This perfume drives me crazy! It has such a sophisticated, elegant , sultry and provocative smell that you can't resist it :D IT GOT ME !!!

This head turning perfume with its rich and strong dark chocolate and musky notes , “ is a heavy statement in name, packaging and scent, and it goes against the grain of the flaunting sexiness you expect from him,” said Allan Mottus, the editor of The Informationist, a cosmetics trade magazine. “But he may be clever going for that mature, dramatic type woman who has enormous wealth, is not into hip-hop, and has an appetite for Garbo-ish, Grand Hotel type beauty statements.”

And YES, I totally agree, this quote is like reading my mind, is exactly what I thought of when I first smell this fragrance. Tom Ford Black Orchid Perfume it's all about the glamour , sensuality and luxury.

What they say:

''Tom Ford Black Orchid`s luxuriously indulgent signature scent, sure to captivate your senses like no other. The attention is captured by a sensuous blend of Black Truffle and Ylang mingled with fresh Bergamot and delectable Black Currant. A dramatic signature unfolds with the custom-made Tom Ford Black Orchid blended with dark, tempting florals and rich fruit accords. The heart is deepened with the intoxicating Lotus Wood. The decadent Noir Gourmand Accord is balanced by Patchouli-incense and Vetiver. Vanilla tears add a fluid creaminess to warm Balsam and smooth Sandalwood. ''

''The custom grown (and über rare) TOM FORD BLACK ORCHID is the show-stopping note in this incredibly luxurious scent. Sultry woods and rich fruit accords help to bring out the skin's natural perfume, and the jet-black, art-deco inspired bottle adds to the fragrances overall glamour.''

Notes:
Black Truffle, Black Orchid, Black Plum, Noir Gourmand Accord, Patchouli.

The packaging is pure luxury, all black with golden details, speaks for itself.

This unique perfume might be too heavy for some, but I consider it a statement perfume, a perfume with personality and that's hard to find nowadays.

When I wear this perfume, it gives me a special mood, it makes me feel sophisticated and powerful, and it also lasts all day long.

I'm not sure, but I think this perfume is unisex, which is a great bonus. Anyone, men or women who like to wear strong perfumes from morning to night could buy it ;)

Talking about the prices, this can be scary, but I believe it deserves every penny.

It retails for £53, 30ml and £105, 100ml

“For me to put a story back into fragrance and put the fragrance into a beautifully designed bottle and shoot it in a very lush way, this is a reaction to a decade of minimalism that has left people starved for content and substance,” Mr. Ford said. “I wanted a potent product.”

And here it is Tom Ford Black Orchid Perfume, a very potent product in my opinion.

Let me know what you think about this perfume. I would love to read your thoughts ;)

See you soon Lovelies!

Kisses and hugs, xoxoxo

Hello Sweeties!

YSL Rouge Volupté Lipsticks are some kind of STARS! And no wonder, because they're like little jewels, literally, that every woman should have in their purses. The luxuriant and elegant golden case is what makes your eyes roll and not to forget the gorgeous range of colors. It also has a mirror on top of the case, so it's very practical too.

Lately I purchased 2 YSL Rouge Volupté Lipsticks in 'Sweet Honey' (No. 4) and 'Orange Shiver' (No. 14) and 1 YSL Rouge Volupté Perle in 'Mesmerizing Purple' (No. 106) which is from the Fall Collection 2011.

From left to right: Orange Shiver, Mesmerizing Purple, Sweet Honey

As far as I could see all Rouge Volupté Lipsticks have a peachy/ watermelon/ rosey scent, I can't really define this scent, and a sweet taste.

The original lipsticks (Rouge Volupté) have a very creamy, almost buttery texture, they're moisturizing and apply on smoothly, have a good pigmentation, they have a decent lasting power on lips, the bold colors last longer than the nude ones.

YSL Sweet Honey YSL Orange Shiver

The range of colors is beautiful, from nude colors to bold ones, they don't have shimmer/ glitter.

Anyway, I'm happy with these 2 lippies and I would try another shades too. When I use them my lips look fuller and plumper.

The Perle Collection is different from the original one, they're glossy and shiny with multicoloured shimmer. 'Mesmerizing Purple' it's a shade that caught my eyes at first , it looks cool - a very dark purple with red and violet shimmer, but this lipstick it's really hard to apply on. It stains, it's watery, it doesn't stay in place and it accentuates the lines on my lips, it's like all the colour it's diving in these wrinkles.

I don't know about the other shades how they look like on lips, but I wouldn't buy this again, although the color is still pretty.
