Mini Haul for Summer!

Hello!

Today I wanted to share a few items I picked up at Macy's and Carson Pierre Scott.

I really don't need anything but these are kind of specialty items like the lightest foundation MAC makes (NEW!), a good pressed powder, a VERY versatile loose powder and a sheer gel blush.

So a few month's back MAC released 6 (I think) more shades of their Studio Fix Fluid Foundation - so I got NW10.  Its rare to see a light neutral so I snatched it up. I will have a review of it's performance up soon - I haven't tried it yet!

I dropped my pressed powder the other day (I have a lot loose powder but not so many pressed) and I needed a new one and the Chanel has a Satin finish and comes in translucent - so now it's mine! 

 

Now I said I have a lot of loose powder - but this Smashbox Photo Fix powder is a Macy's exclusive (or so they told me) and it has other tricks up it's sleeve which I'll save for the review to come!

 

And finally -

 



Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Gelee - if you follow me on Instagram (xjasminemariex) you'll now these have some staying power, and the idea of "sheer" color intrigued me. 

So that's my little, albeit expensive haul!  Which one do you want me to review first?

Le Perfume Collection

Hello!

Today I wanted to share my perfume collection and find out what fragrances you love!  I love, love, love perfume.  My friend and have always joked (but we are actually serious) that we want to be the woman who always leaves her scent in a room.  I find it a huge compliment if someone asks "what are you wearing?"  My favorite Perfume of all time is:

Boucheron is a Floral Semi-Oriental
Top Notes: Sicilian tangerine, Calabrian bitter orange, apricot, Persian galbanum, African tegetes, Spanish basilica
Heart Notes: Morrocan orange blossom, Grasse tuberose, Madagascar ylang-ylang, Moroccan jasmine, Auvergne narcissus, British broom
Base Notes: Mysore sandalwood, amber, Indian Ocean vanilla, South American tonka bean

I Seem to gravitate towards perfume with Jasmine as the Heart or "middle" notes, and most of my favorites are "florentals" (Floral Orientals)  I linked a description of the perfumes next to the names in the pictures below!
