July Look Bag- Last Look Bag

So, as I mentioned in this post I got an email from the Look Bag saying they were cancelling and if you weren't charged for one you wouldn't receive one.  I don't think I was charged for one (not that I remember) but somehow I got one anyway.  So, here it is:

Here's what came in my bag:

• 2 Bon Bon polishes: I don't know the colors, or even if they have names but they are just okay.  I haven't tried them yet but seeing these little guys make me think of something you would give a seven year old when you don't want them using your nail polish.  Not something I would expect to get in a beauty sample program. 

• Ultraflesh Mascara: I can't find much about this product anywhere.  I see something called Ultraflesh Panthera Mascara, maybe it's the same?  I'm not really sure.  Anyway, this seems to be another discontinued item and I can't find the price listed anywhere so I have no idea how much this sample is worth. I actually liked this mascara.  It went on smoothly and separated my lashed nicely.  Too bad I won't be able to find it anywhere...

• Korres Mango Butter Lipstick: The color I got was peach and I'm sure you will be shocked to know that this color is...wait for it....DISCONTINUED!  Another discontinued product?  I am not too fond of the color, peach just isn't the right shade for me.  However, this lipstick was super smooth and creamy and I would consider buying another color.  Now, I realize that a lot of bloggers do swatches on their lips.  I'm sure you're wondering why I don't do that as well?  Honestly, I'm just not that fond of my lips.  They are thin and I don't feel like they are appropriate for swatching.  So, I apologize to those of you who like to see lipstick on the lips, you'll just have to make due with my arm.

• Bremenn Miracle Cream: It will be no surprise that I can't really find this item either.  I do see something on Bremenn's website that is similar but it is a different color tube.  Another discontinued product?  Perhaps.  This stuff was okay, nothing amazing but a good moisturizer overall.  

• Betsy Johnson Perfume: I actually really loved this scent.  I didn't like the design of the sample though. I hate perfume samples that I have to put on my fingers before applying, I hate having fingers that smell like perfume.  But, this is a lovely scent and I would even consider buying it.  It looks like this one is available for half price at Walgreens right now.  

Anyway, I did enjoy some of the products that were in this last, and unexpected, Look Bag.  I decided not to review them individually because quite a few of them are actually discontinued and I really didn't see the point in devoting a whole entire post to discontinued products.  The point of a sample program, at least from my point of view, is to try things that you may want to purchase.  How can I possibly do that if I am sent discontinued items?  Anyway, I have signed up for two new sample boxes that I am going to try and then pick the best of the two but I'm keeping them a secret until they arrive.

Thanks for reading.

June Beauty Army Box & Subscription Woes

You may be wondering why on earth I am just now posting about my June Beauty Army Box?  Well, that's because I had a couple of issues with my June box and I wanted to see them resolved before I posted my review. 

Here's what was included in June's Box:


Atopalm Intensive Moisture Cream: This is the first problem that I had with June's box. If this product sounds familiar that is because it is familiar! I got the same product in my May Beauty Army Box and I have already reviewed it here. I also received the exact same sample in my June Look Bag. I didn't pick this item and yet somehow it ended up in my box. Now I have three samples of this stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like it enough but I don't need three samples. So, I contacted Beauty Army twice via email and didn't get a response. Then I posted on their Facebook page and sent a third email and finally got a response. They said they didn't get my first two emails. I was told the reason I got this product was because I picked something else that ended up being out of stock so it was replaced with something similar. While I understand that and don't really mind I feel like they probably should have let me know they were replacing one of my samples so I wasn't confused when I got my box. I also wish they would have tried to replace it with something I didn't already get just the previous month. They said they would give me an extra sample in my July box and I was happy with that resolution. 

 
Control Corrective Medicated Pumice Wash: This was the second problem I had with this box. I waited to try this until we went away for the weekend (last weekend) because I figured it was travel size so why not try it then. You can imagine my surprise when I went to use it last weekend and realized that the blister pack (I think that is what you call it) was COMPLETELY empty! I cut it open to see if maybe the product had dried up or something and there was absolutely NO evidence that there was ever even any product in there. I'm not sure what happened, maybe a production defect and somehow this one got sealed without getting filled? Either way, luckily I brought another facial cleanser with me as a back-up. I decided not to contact Beauty Army about this one because I didn't want to go through the hassle of emailing them again and wondering if they got my email and also because I had already contacted them about the other issue and I didn't want them to think I was trying to get a bunch of free samples.

Youngblood Mineral Primer: I choose this one because I use mineral makeup and I am always looking for a good primer. I'm happy to report that this one did not disappoint. This stuff makes my face feel like silk after applying and it provides a nice smooth base for my foundation. I was initially a little confused about the pump on this one because it doesn't have a plastic tube and nothing came out when I first tried to pump it, but after few tries I got the product to come out. You can buy the full size (1 oz) product here for $41.00. My initial reaction was that the price is a little steep but I do think this product is worth it.

Fiafini Delicate Cleansing Emulsion: I have heard a lot of good things about the Fiafini brand so I thought I would give this facial cleanser a try. It was nice and light and not too harsh. This is the second product from Fiafini I have tested and I enjoy their products. You can get the full size product (4.0 fl oz) here for $28.00.

Lucy B-Wild Jasmine: I know most people don't like perfume samples but I actually enjoy a good perfume sample. The problem with perfume samples is that everyone has such individual taste and some people may love what other people hate. That's why I only pick perfume samples if I know I might like the scent. I loved this scent! I thought it was very "summerlike", yes I like to make up my own words. You can get the full size product (3.38 fl oz) here for $48.00 which is actually a pretty good price for a good perfume.

Eyecandy Coolers: These were actually my favorite product in the box! Eyecandy says they are "reusable, chill-able, candy-colored soft gel rounds which work quickly to reduce puffiness, minimize dark circles and fine lines, relieve allergy symptoms, and instantly soothe pesky tension or stress headaches. Simply chill in the fridge or a glass of ice, and you are ready to ‘be eyecandy for the world’ in just minutes! eyecandy coolers may be safely used over and over again." These are great for those of us who suffer from migraines or stress headaches. You can get these for $12.00 a pair here. 

Subscription Woes:

I know the title of my post included "subscription woes" and that is because in the months of June/July I had more trouble with my subscription services as a whole. First there was the Beauty Army issues discussed above. Now, to give Beauty Army credit they did resolve the issue that I contacted them about and I have never had issues with them before. I am satisfied that this was an isolated incident.

I also received my July Birchbox and was disappointed to see that the box I received wasn't the box that the website said I was going to get. In the "wrong" box that I got it also included tinted moisturizer that was bronze color that I won't be able to use and an opened Larabar that I had to throw out. I contacted Birchbox via email and didn't get a response so I called them. The girl on the phone said that they sent me the right box but put the wrong one on the site. She offered to send me August's box for free. She told me she would get back to me about the Larabar. I didn't get a response back about that. I then find out that Birchbox was sending some people the "right" box in addition to letting them keep the "wrong" box (this was apparently an issue that happened to others as well and not just me). So I emailed Birchbox back again and said that it seems they are sending some people the other box in addition to offering August for free. Someone wrote me back and told me that wasn't the way they were handling it. I wrote back and told her that I wasn't going to push the issue but that I believe in treating every customer equally and in the future they should make sure to offer the same resolution to everyone. I also sent her links to where others were syaong that they got the "right" box sent to them. They are apparently sending me a new Larabar. We will see how next month goes and that will be the deciding factor for me.

Lastly, I got an email from The Look Bag on July 17th saying that they were cancelling the service (the bag was supposed to ship out on the 15th) and that if you weren't charged for the July you won't be getting it. This was TWO days after they posted on their Facebook page sneak peeks about what was in the bag and that the bags were shipping out that week. So obviously this was a very last minute decision. I found it odd that they would just quit in the middle of the month and not send people their bags. I wasn't charged for one so I figured I wasn't going to get one. So, I signed up for two new subscription boxes to see which one I like best. I will keep them a surprise for now but I think you are going to like them. Then, to my utter amazement I get my July Look Bag in the mail on Saturday! I haven't seen a charge go through yet so we will see.

Anyway, there is the short story of my subscription box woes. Hopefully things will be looking up from here and I won't have any more issues but I will keep you posted.

Thanks for reading! I will post shortly about what I actually received in my defunct July Birchbox and July Look Bag so stay tuned!

June Look Bag!

Good morning!  I've been crazy busy the last few days and I almost forgot to share my June Look Bag with you!

Here's what I got in this month's bag:

• Atopalm Intensive Moisturizing Cream: I have already done a review on this, you can find it here.  
• Snowberry Intensive Renewal Face Serum: Another anti-aging product, seriously!  I'm excited to try this one though because I have never heard of Snowberry before.
• Too Faced - Sparkler Glamour Gloss "Pink Bling":  I'm excited to get some makeup in my Look Bag!  I have heard of Too Faced but have never actually tried this product.  The only thing that kind of irks me is that this product appears to be discontinued.  It seems you can get it from other places but it's not on Too Faced's website anymore.  This is the second time I have received a discontinued product from Look Bag.
• Korres Eyeshadow in Pink: This is a pretty dark pink for me but I love eyeshadow so I will give it a try.  I believe this one is also a discontinued item.  Seriously?
• Prescriptives Lip and Eye Pencil Sharpener: I usually use cream liner or use my mineral shadows as eyeliner so I don't really have a need for this.  I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it yet.  

What are my feelings about this month's bag?  I'm not really sure.  I like some of the items I received but it slightly annoys me that they continue to give discontinued items.  It also annoys me that they do not have all of the products they send out on their website so I have to go to other places to find out about the products. I'm not giving up on Look Bag quite yet, we will see what they provide next month. Do you subscribe to the Look Bag?  Were you happy with your bag this month?

Don't forget to enter our giveaway (look to the right on the sidebar).

Product Review: Naked Princess - Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss

Happy Wednesday!  Today I'm bringing you another product from my May Look Bag: Naked Princess - Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss.  I was excited to see a lip gloss in the May bag.  I love lip gloss and I am always looking for the right color for my super thin lips.  I can't really use dark colors or very pink colors because I feel like it makes my lips look even thinner.

The sample pack came with four colors: Barely Coco, Barely Blush, Barely Nude, Barely Coral.  These are defiantly sheer glosses meant for a nude look with just a touch of color.  Here's the bad news- I don't have any swatches.  Why?  Because after I did my swatches I had a small camera snafoo and those pictures were the casualty.  I already used two of the samples so I figured providing you with swatches of just two colors was pointless.  So, I apologize that I don't have any swatches to show you.

What They Say:  A cleanly formulated, luxurious lightweight, non-tacky lip gloss in eight shades of nude. Contains built-in treatment and a gentle, non-stinging lip plumper.Formula Features:Infused with Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Moroccan Vanilla, & Antioxidants for radiance & shine. A collagen-producing Peptide helps to plump lips without irritation to reduce the appearance of fine lines. In independent test studies, lips begin to look younger, smoother & fuller within five days.CLINICALLY & ALLERGY TESTED. NON-IRRITATING. Source.

My Impression:  I loved these lip glosses!  I am definitely a fan of a nude sheer gloss so I knew I would love these glosses.  They smell amazing and made my lips feel nice and smooth.  I don't know that they actually plumped my lips.  I guess they made my lips look fuller but it's hard to tell whether it actually plumped them.  I used the Barely Coco first and then the Barely Nude.  I'm moving onto the Barely Coral and will use the Barely Blush last.  The full size of these sell for $26.00 a piece and you can pick them up on Naked Princesses' Website.  Overall I would recommend this product if you like a nice sheer lip.

Product Review: Kelly Teegarden - Vitality - Rose & Cucumber Eye Cream

Happy Thursday!  One day closer to the weekend!  Does anyone have any exciting plans this weekend?  I really need to spend some time getting my house in order.  I hate coming back from a vacation and going right back to work because I feel like I need a couple of days just to recover from my vacation.  I also need to do some swatches for some of the products I received this month.
Anyway, today I'm reviewing a product I received in my May LookBag, Kelly Teegarden - Vitality - Rose & Cucumber Eye Cream.  I was super excited to try this product because not only is it all natural but the story behind the products is pretty amazing as well.  The products are developed by Kelly Teegarden, a thyroid cancer survivor.  Her story is pretty amazing, check it out here.  
Here's the truth: Until I had my son and hit my 30's I never really cared about what types of chemicals were in the products I used.  Now I'm finding myself checking those labels just to see what types of ingredients are included in the products I use and the products I use on my son.  I'm not saying that I'm going all organic but I am definitely making an attempt to use more natural products.  Now, on to the review!

The sample pot was adorable and I think it is actually a pretty good size considering a little of this product goes a long way.  I have been using this product every night for almost two weeks now and I still have a lot left.  The product doesn't have any odor at all that I could smell.  I am not a fan of smelly facial moisturizers or eye creams so I was pleased that I couldn't detect an odor.  

The formula is light and very smooth.  You only need a very tiny dot to apply under your eyes.

I have been applying it after washing my face at night and right before bed.  I don't have much trouble with dark circles or puffiness under my eyes but I do have some fine lines under my eyes.  After using this product for almost two weeks I can say that I have noticed a small change in the lines under my eyes.  Overall I am very pleased with this product and I would absolutely recommend it.  I like the company and what they stand for and I love the story behind the products.  I had never heard of this company before receiving this product in my LookBag so I'm glad I did!  If you are interested in purchasing the full sized product you can get it on their website for $30.00.  I think the product is very reasonably priced and 1.18 oz full size bottle would last you a long time.  They have a lot of other products in their store that sound great too! 

Did you get this product in your LookBag this month or have you ever tried it?  What did you think?

May LookBag!

I love this time of month!  It’s the best time of month because all of my sample subscriptions start arriving and I get to try out some awesome new products.  Today I have a sneak peak at my May LookBag!  Here’s what was included inside this month:

• Two polishes from the The New Black - Runway - Color Baromoter collection in Electrical Banana and Midnight Blue.  I honestly thought the Midnight Blue was back until I looked a little closer.  These colors are similar to some that I already have but I’ll never turn down a bottle of nail polish.  I have never tried this brand before so I’m interested to test out the formula.  I can tell you that I won’t be doing a mani featuring these two colors together because the blue looks black and I won’t be caught dead with a black and yellow mani, sorry Steelers fans but I’m a die hard Ravens fan!  
• L`Oreal - Wear Infinite Pressed Eyeshadow Single in Sweet Chemise- Yay!  I finally got an eye shadow sample in one of my sample boxes!  I love soft light colors so this one is perfect. 
• Erno Laszlo - The Collection 5 Piece Creams- For some reason I get offended when I see sample packets like this.  I’m looking forward to trying out the whole collection so I’m glad they gave me one of each though.  The packets include: Velvet Night Cream, Instant Eye Repair, Refresh Moisture Infusion, Intense Porcelain Veil, and Morning Beauty Rescue.  The concept behind the products is really cute- the five formulas are inspired by Dr. Laszlo's most legendary and iconic devotees: Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Katherine Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe.  I’ve never tried any Erno Laszlo products so I’m excited to try these though.  I can tell you that a quick peek at the prices for these reveal that they are pretty expensive so they would have to be pretty good for me to shell out that kind of money. 
• Naked Princess - Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss-  This is supposed to be a lip plumper that is supposed to “plump lips without irritation to reduce the appearance of fine lines”.  I love lip gloss and I love these colors so I’m excited to try them out.    
• Kelly Teegarden - Vitality - Rose & Cucumber Eye Cream-  I’m so glad they included an eye cream this month because I have been noticing some serious lines under my eyes lately.  I can’t wait to try it out!

Well, that wraps up my May LookBag sneak peak!  Overall I’m very pleased with the products included in this month’s bag.  Like I said, I was slightly taken aback by the appearance of the dreaded sample packets in my bag but as long as they turn out to be decent products I won’t complain.  Stick around for my reviews of the individual products.  Thanks for reading!

Product Review: Laura Mercier Perfecting Water Rich

Today I bring you a review of a product I received in my April Look Bag- Laura Mercier Perfecting Water Rich.  The sample size I received was 0.34 fl oz.  

Product Details: Hydrating fluid that temporarily over-hydrates skin allowing deeper penetration of ingredients, moisturizers and serums in further treatments.  Rebuilds & repairs skin's surface layers and lipid barriers.

• Antioxidants protect against daily aggressors
• Minimizes and reduces the appearance of pores while addressing surface dehydration
• Fresh, gel texture provides higher levels of moisture and a richer feel on the skin
• Never drying

Perfecting Water - Rich - Works best for normal to dry skin.
Perfecting Water - Light - Ideal for normal to oily skin.  Use on clean, dry skin.

Saturate a Cotton Square and gently massage over the entire face and neck using a patting motion. Apply morning and evening.  Source.


When I saw this product I had no idea what it was, nor had I ever heard of "perfecting water."  I mean, do people really pay for water?  But, after using the product, although it may be clear it really isn't actual water.  It is slightly thicker than water and when applied to the face leaves a tacky feeling to the skin for a while (at least it did for me).  The tacky feeling goes away once it dries and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.  Overall I found this to be a pretty nice product, but the truth is, I don't need another step in my daily routine and for me this isn't a "must have".  So while I enjoyed the product and will use the rest of it I don't think I will be purchasing it at this time.  Have you ever tried this product?  What do you think?  Take it or leave it?

Product Review: CoCo Cosmetics Jovie Jubilee Luxury Body Lotion

This is the first of a few scheduled posts because this weekend I am on vacation with my hubby and little man!  Anyway, today I am reviewing another product that I received in my April Look Bag: CoCo Cosmetics Jovie Jubilee Luxury Body Lotion.  The sample size I received was 2 oz.  

Product Details:  A festive scent that works for anyone, at any time of the year. A celebration for your skin. This moisturizing lotion has tea tree oil and pro vitamins to help your skin stay soft.  Source.

My Initial Impression:  I did not like the packaging for this product.  I'm not really sure what I don't like about it or how to describe it but the colors make the scent look "heavy" as opposed to a light colored bottle which makes me think something is more light.  Hopefully this makes sense.  There is something about this bottle that makes the product look low end.  I also did not like the scent of the product when I smelled it in the bottle, it seemed a little strong and "perfumey" (yes, I know this isn't a word.)

Pros:

• Hydrates skin nicely;
• Doesn't make skin overly oily;
• Scent isn't quite as strong once it has been on the skin for a few minutes.  

Cons:

•  Initial smell of product was off-putting for me.  A little too strong of a scent.  It did lighten up considerably once I put it on my skin but I'm still on the fence about the smell of this one.
• Packaging could use some work.

Final Impression:  I am a big fan of scented body lotions so I really wanted to like this product but it was just okay.  Nothing spectacular and if I was browsing in a store and picked up this product and smelled it I wouldn't buy it.  If you like very flowery scents then you might like this product so I won't advise against it totally, I would just suggest sampling it before buying.  If you are interested in buying you can get the full size product in a 16 oz bottle for $9.99 and a 14 oz bottle for $14.99.

Product Review: Purlisse SPF 30

Today I will be reviewing the Purlisse SPF 30 Essential Daily Moisturizer that I received in my April Look Bag.  For me, being the pasty pale white girl that I am, SPF is really important so I always make sure to incorporate products into my daily routine that include SPF protection including my makeup and most importantly my moisturizer.  I have combination skin, so my forehead and t-zone is very dry but my chin is oily and prone to acne.  It's important to me to have a moisturizer that doesn't make my chin too oily while still giving my t-zone that extra moisture it needs so I was really interested to try this product.  The sample I received for this product was .5 oz.   

Product Details:  Hydra~Shield Complex provides balanced UVA/UVB sun protection, while Vitamin E and Soy Proteins let skin's softer, supple side shine through White Tea calms sensitive skin.  Absorbs in an instant for quick-dry application.  Non-whitening formula allows for under makeup perfection.  Source.

My Initial Impression:  The texture of this product reminds me of sunscreen so I was hoping it wasn't going to leave my face feeling greasy, a common problem I have with facial moisturizers.  It doesn't have an odor which is good because I hate having to smell something on my face.

Pros:

• No smell;
• Smooth application;
• Does not leave face feeling greasy;
• Doesn't leave while color on face to mess up makeup.

Cons:

• None that I can think of.

Final Impression:  I really enjoyed using this product.  It left my face feeling nice and smooth and not overly greasy, a big plus in my book!  I love that it has SPF 30 as opposed to SPF 15 because like I said I'm pale and can use all the protection I can get.  This also doesn't change the texture of my foundation like some moisturizers do.  Overall I was very pleased with this product and would recommend it.  The full size product is 1.7 oz and sells for $55.00 here.

Product Review: Orofluido Beauty Elixr

Today I am pleased to bring you a review of the Orofluido Beauty Elixr which was included in my April Look Bag.  The sample I received was 0.17 fl oz.  I cant seem to find the actual size for the full size product anywhere so I'm not sure how big the full size product is.

Product Details:

Beauty elixir for all hair types, with a pure luxuriance that envelops your hair. Three organic natural oils in an exquisite mixture with a pleasant, silky texture, absorbed rapidly and leaving no residue in the hair.  Its delicious amber fragrance with a vanilla foundation will transport you into a fascinating world of oriental perfume. Applied to damp hair it:

• Reduces drying time;
• Leaves hair light, silky and easy to comb;
• Gives hair body and movement;
• Enhances the natural shine of the hair.

Applied to dry hair it:

• Gives hair instant shine;
• Controls frizzing and makes combing easier.

Source.

My Initial Impression:  I have tried many hair oils in the past with no success.  My hair has an interesting texture, it is frizzy but also can become very fine and oily at times as well.  So I was very hesitant to try another hair oil for fear of having that slick oily look to my hair.  I decided to give it a try on a  weekend so if it didn't turn out well I didn't need to show myself in public.  I applied it to my damp hair immediately after getting out of the shower and brushed my wet hair with the product still in.  I then proceeded with my normal morning routine of letting my hair air dry a bit while applying my makeup.

Pros:

• Has a nice subtle smell to it;
• Not overly oily like some hair oils;
• Doesn't leave your hands oily after applying the product;
• It DOES actually cut down on drying time;
• A little goes a long way so this product could definitely last a long time;
• It made my hair incredibly silky, smooth and shiny but NOT oily at all!;
• It didn't weight my fine hair down so I still got the body I was looking for along with the smoothness and shine.

Cons:

• I honestly couldn't find any.

Final Impression:  I was really prepared not to like this product but I was pleasantly surprised and it ended up being my absolute favorite product out of all three sample programs this month.  I love the way it makes my hair look and feel and when I do run out I will definitely be purchasing more and incorporating it into my every day routine.  The best part is that I think this product is pretty reasonably priced.  You can get the full sized product from The Look Store for $39.98 for non-members and $31.98 for members.  I think that's a pretty good price considering how little of the product you have to use.  I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for something to smooth your hair while not weighing it down or making it look greasy.

April's The Look Bag!

This is another goodie I received in the mail recently!  Again, I will be reviewing each product individually but I wanted to do a general post about I received in my Look Bag.  Here is how the bag looked when it arrived:

The bag itself is nice although I think I enjoy the reusable boxes I'm getting with my other sample subscriptions.  Now onto the goodies inside:

Here's what was included inside my bag:

• Orofluido Beauty Elixr- This is a hair oil that says it is recommended for all hair types.  I have to say I'm a little nervous about this one because I have not had much success with other hair oil I have tried in the past.  Usually they make my hair look greasy so I'm curious to see how this one turns out.  The website says it reduces drying time if you apply it to wet hair so I'm interested to see if that is the case.
• Purlisse SPF 30-  The website says this is a "superior full-spectrum sun protection in a light-weight nourishing moisturizer."  I'm excited to try this because I am definitely looking for a good moisturizer/sunblock combo.  I am VERY fair skin (read pale pasty) and I definitely need to keep my skin protected from the sun. 
• CoCo Cosmetics Jovie Jubilee Luxury Body Lotion- The website says this is a moisturizing lotion that has tea tree oil and pro vitamins to help your skin stay soft and smooth.  I love yummy smelling body lotion so hopefully I will like this product. 
• Laura Mercier Perfecting Water Rich- I must say "perfecting water" is something I didn't even know  existed.  I wasn't even sure what it was when I saw it.  The website says it is "a hydrating fluid that temporarily over-hydrates skin allowing deeper penetration of ingredients, moisturizers and serums in further treatments."  I'm not sure how to feel about this one.  I am interested to see if it really shows a noticeable difference after using it.
• Virga Botanicals Fragrance- The scent I got was Water Garden.  Here is what the website has to say about this scent: "This is a true floral! It has light, liquid notes of ylang ylang, rose, ginger lily and bergamot, with some cheerful citrus added in. A really youthful, happy, super-feminine fragrance!   Made to smell like joyous freedom, a languid afternoon in the sun-kissed woods by a tiny flower-covered waterfall."  Honestly, it was very difficult to get the lid off of the sample to smell it so I haven't even smelled this one yet.

Overall I'm pretty excited to try these new products so stay tuned for my reviews.
