I don’t wear perfume every day but I do love wearing it on occasion. Because of this, it takes me forever to go through a bottle of perfume. I recently discovered scentbird which basically is a monthly perfume subscription except instead of an entire bottle, you get a small purse spray of perfume in a super sleek travel case and it’s supposed to last around 30 days! I loved this idea and knew that it was perfect for me.
The first step is to take a little quiz so they can figure out what kind
of scents you like. At the end you get to select through various
scents that are similar to what you noted that you like in the quiz.
You then choose which perfume you want and a few days later, a package
was at my door with my first vial of perfume! It was perfect timing for
my trip so I carried it on the plane with me and spritzed myself after I
got off the flight.
The first scent I got was Roses de Chloe which I loved! It was a great pick for me and I was glad that it popped up in my picks. I hadn’t tested it before so was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. This month I got Marc Jacobs Oh Lola! which as you can see from my perfumes above I own three other Marc Jacobs scents so I knew that this one would be good for me as well. You only get the case the first time, the second spray you can see laying in front and all you do is just pull out the old spray and pop the new one into the case! I still haven’t even gotten through my first month’s perfume, so I’ve just been swapping them out. There is an option to buy another case for $12.95 and I’m so excited because they now have it in pink! You know I’m all over that 🙂
A glimpse into what’s in my bag. As you can see the perfume case is about the size of my lipstick (which by the way is my absolute favorite lip product right now, the color is perfect!) And is perfect to take anywhere. I just had to share as I think this idea is genius. I love getting a new scent every month and not having to commit to a whole bottle. Oh and it’s $14.95 a month which, in my opinion is totally worth it! Use code PINK15 to get 15% off your first perfume. Check it out here if you are interested! I highly recommend it.
I got a fun package in the mail last week from Pacifica, a brand that I’ve loved for awhile now. When I opened it up I saw this pretty box and got very excited! What can I say, I’m a sucker for packaging!
Tucked inside was some awesome products that I haven’t tried before so I was excited to try them out.
A little while ago my friend told me that her daughter was playing with her makeup and ended up hiding her mascara and since she couldn’t find where her daughter hid it, she had to go without mascara that day. It hit me that that would never happen to me unless my daughter were to hide all 15 of the mascaras I currently own! LOL! I love mascara and never can just have one. I have ones that I use as a base layer and then a top layer, I have ones that are just for volumizing, ones for creating length and ones that do both. I mean I am obsessed! When I saw that they included this mineral mascara, I was very happy to try it out.
One thing that I love about Pacifica is everything is vegan and made with all natural ingredients. I think this might be my first mineral mascara that I’ve tried and it is amazing! It totally gave my lashes volume and I can do 2 or 3 coats but it doesn’t give me clumpy or spidery lashes at all. Love this formula and how pretty is the packaging too.
I’ve actually been a big fan of Pacifica perfumes for a really long time. I buy their solid perfumes to keep in my purse and they are especially handy when flying, since they are a solid you don’t have to worry about the 3 ounce rule or about it spilling in your bag. Most importantly you can use it to freshen up a bit after you land so you don’t smell like the airplane!
In my package were Tuscan Blood Orange, Tahitian Gardenia and Hawaiian Ruby Guava perfumes. The blood orange is my favorite, it’s sweet and fruity without being overpowering and just smells so good! But the others are a close second. I really love their fragrances as they are all very light and airy and can be worn during the day or night. It’s so hard to describe fragrances but my best description is just simply “delicious!” I mean it’s like smelling your favorite flowers or fruits it just smells so good that you almost want to taste it!
These roll on perfumes are perfect to take anywhere as they fit into my handbag without taking up any room (they are about the size of a pen) and in my opinion they seem to last longer than the solid perfumes, so when I’m not traveling I’m taking these everywhere with me! They currently are 15% off and at only $10 each, it’s a good excuse to try out a few of the scents.
And I thought I’d mention that you can get your very own pretty box as they are offering it free with a $40 purchase on their site. I love the box as much as I love the stuff that came inside! I’m currently using it to store these goodies along with a few other lotions and perfumes.
