long time no see

Well yes, it’s been a little over a week and that’s a long time in the blogging world. I’ve been ill again and then had other time consuming events happening, so I hope I can blog a little bit more now and in the future! I’ll post some random pics from stuff I got first:

This is a cute bath gift set that I originally didn’t even buy for myself, but because I missed to give it in time to a person I just use it myself now haha (usually I wouldn’t do that but the person who should receive it is in china!). I has a lotion, shower and a cute sponge! The smell is a bit generic though…

Finally I have my second Aquolina perfume! It’s the Pink Sugar Sparks and smells almost exactly like Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf! I love it’s subtle café smell and that it smells a lot more mature than Pink Sugar. The body lotion I got in this set is awful though,very very bitter smell. Haven’t tried the shower gel but it seems to be less strong than the body lotion so it should work but I regret getting the whole set, the perfume would have been enough!

And than there’s a recent make-up pic where I finally tried the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart (I did have wear-pics before but this is a lot closer to it’s actual look than before and also it is my first time wearing it "out" haha):

Aquolina Icing Sugar Body Milk

I have way too much body milk that I won’t be able to use up, but this was a must buy for me, even if with 10 € for 250 ml it’s a bit of a luxury (when it comes to body milk):Aquolina Icing Sugar Body Milk.

This body milk has one of the sweetest bestest scents ever!! It really smells like icing sugar (Puderzucker in German, I like that term better). It is very realistic and only with a hint of the typical body milk smell, but here it fits the sweet and sugary and somehow milky fragrance. It moisturizes my skin while smelling super yummy (maybe too yummy, I’m smelling my skin non stop right now…). And it stays for at least 2 hours like that on my skin, which many body milks can't keep up! I love Aquolina as a brand and will definitely buy more of their products! Next on the list is the perfum Sugar Sparks (I got a code for the value of 10 € with my last purchase ON HERE). And I “need” either shower gel or body milk that smells like Chocolate….

Perfume Review: Pink Sugar by Aquolina and Egeo Choc by O Boticario

I have a weakness for sweet stuff, meaning sweets, cute make up AND perfume that smells sickly sweet. Most people think it’s too much to have a perfume that smells like cotton candy, but it’s exactly right for me, I’m always on the lookout for that kind of fragrances, gourmand fragrances! Since I joined the site "fragrantica . com" I discovered many perfumes that could suit my endless craving for sweet stuff, that’s how I came to buy the next two:

The Aquolina Pink Sugar Fragrance, that was 25 € total (with shipping) for 100 ml on amazon, which I find is a good price for what you get out of it. To explain the scent of Pink Sugar well, here’s a Perfume Pyramid that I took from fragrantica.com :

The note that is most intense is the cotton candy and toffee for me. When I first sprayed this on I didn’t like it at all, it had an almost liquorice like smell to me because the musk came out to strong together with the cotton candy. But after half an hour or even less it turned into the sickly sweet yet somehow mature fragrance I hoped for! The longevity varies daily, sometimes half a day, other times only 2 hours. Still, I am very pleased with this buy. I was thinking of getting Aquolinas Chocolovers fragrance also, but it’s nowhere to be found…

Btw, the packaging is so cute and playful, it looks like something out of a Dr Seuss childrens’ book!

The second one is Egeo Choc by O Boticario, which I ordered directly from the website of O Boticario because they restocked on the limited perfume right now! How fortuitous! It was a bit more than I wished to pay, about 35 € with shipping.

I ordered here.

Now the notes for the Egeo Choc from O Boticario are as follows:

And unfortunately I dont smell that much chocolate, which is what I hoped for…I mean it’s called Egeo CHOC. The chocolate smell is so weak in my opinion. Nevertheless it is a very rounded fragrance, quite mature again, and it lasts very long on me always! Won’t buy again though.
