Alien By Thierry Mugler Review

Alien Eau De Parfum Spray 2 oz by Thierry MuglerTheirry Mugker is well known for her perfume Angle, this is her latest addition and I has made a serious impression. Marketed in 2005, this perfume is all the rage now in days.  But before I give you my opinion, I want to let you know what the notes are and who they are aiming for.

The notes 
Solar Accord, Jasmine Sambac, Green Notes, Cashmeran, Vanilla, Transparent Amber
Who they are aiming for:
Mysterious ladies, whom still like to be soothing and majestic.

My notes
I smell white flowers/ jasmines, some woods scent with a hint of spice and amber for a little sweetness.
Who its for:
 I think its for the mysterious but still sweet people. Those whom have an edginess to them, because it is simple but the simplicity in the notes mix with he body chemistry which can make the scent loud  or soft.

Do I like this?
Yes and no. here are my reasoning. I love the sweetness in amber, and I love the woody notes but for some reason my body doesn't project the smell as well as others. On me the scent fades in 2 hours leaving me with a weird vanilla scent left over for an hour. So needless to say reapplying can be quite the hassle especially when 2 oz cost $120.  But not everyone has the same experience and that doesn't mean I don't like the smell.  So I use it when I go out. I just recommend getting a sample to see how it works for you.
I bought a sample from scentbird https://www.scentbird.com/r/hooligandiamond

Tea Rose Perfume by Perfume workshop

Tea Rose Eau De Toilette Spray 4 oz by Perfumers WorkshopTea rose is a classical perfume. Doesn't cost much for a 4oz bottle, can be found from $10- $33 dollars. This was introduced in 1975, so needle to say its ben around for a while.
The notes are;
 - Rose
- Musk

This is a true rose scent, literally smells like freshly cut roses with a little hint of woods. Its  comes in a black casing and the perfume itself is a glass container and its a vey yellow color.
Best uses:
- daily depending on age and personality.
        I think this is good for people whom like a strong smell. Perfect for a long day at work. this is not a fruity scent so its great for mature women or sophisticated young women
- Night out
         Don't use too much because the smell lingers
- Layered
Image result for roses          You can use a powdery scent to weaken the Rose scent

Its made o be used in the evening.

Why people dislike this?
- it is a strong smell
- might no mix well, with those whom wear fruity scents
- is made for strong bodies whom tend not to keep aromas pure
- it relatively  one note scent

I purchased this from fragrance net for $11.99

Benefits of Scrunchies

Over the years, there have been  this negative attitude towards scrunchies. It is deemed as a little girl item , and embarrassing. Set into our last in the 80's and 90's. But here are some interesting things that you might not have considered.
Scrunchies are harder to lose.
Scrunchies are more apparent in a thicker material easily worn. It contains a lot more fabric and is therefore easier to spot. So you won't be purchasing  new hair ties every 2 months.
Scrunchies  are more personal.
They tend to come in different  varieties  and are easy to make. Which is cool if you want to customize  it. And it could be a staple piece of your wardrobe.
They don't mess up your hair answer hair ties can make note in your hair or be very hard to remove. Leaving your hair with dents and breakage. But the softness of your scrunchie provides flexibility and manageability which we are all looking for.
Scrunchies  can be wore was bracelets.
Because they have so much material they can be worn as bracelet  that don't cut off blood circulation. Once again the fabrics and patterns  are all up to you.
These are why I'm saying we need to bring the scrunchies back .

3B - Beauty beyond borders

Hello everybody and I have a new subscription for all of you. we all know the more common asian subscription boxes such as Beauteque and Memebox.  But a more affordable subscription box is the 3b box which stands for beauty beyond borders Asian beauty/ skincare  products in America. It is $12 a month cancel anytime. They offer 4-5 sample size or full size products. This is my first box, which I received within 3 days even though there was a tweet list of two months to even be able to subscribe.  All the instructions in English are on the card because these products tend not to have English instructions.
In this box I received :
- a skin food false lashes
These are very pretty eyelashes they are crisscross, very long and it has the glue inside. I am very familiar with skin food this is a very nice and popular brand.
-TonyMoly lovely eyebrow pencil in brown
Once again everyone knows Tony Moly if you read any of my blogs, this is a light medium brown it doesn't pull too red. In a very sleek looking pencil with a nice tip that isn't too thin and has a strange bristle brow com does super soft very unlike the ones I'm used to. But it does give a very natural look.
-Etude house baking powder BB deep cleansing foam (sample size)
This is another common Korean brand this deep cleansing foam smells like a oranges and a gritty texture. 3b claims this is a popular gentle cleanser that is formulated with baking powder to exfoliate and deeply cleanse the skin. it helps remove makeup dirt and excess sebum to keep the skin smooth and clear. To you apply a small amount onto wet face  after lathering it up and gently massage on to face then rinse with warm water.
-TonyMoly tangerine whitening hand cream.
When I saw the screen I was amazed by how cute it was but terrified the tangerine / orange smell that it would give off. But to my surprise the smell wore off within a couple of minutes. It has a nice thick consistency and a slightly yellow tint. the smell also remind me of my childhood orange juice that they give you in elementary school. I don't know why but it just smells like it lol.
Overall I'm really impressed with this. The sample sizes were very good even bigger than my Birchbox. TonyMoly lovely eyebrow pencil is so cute and so useful and will get a lot of things out of that, the tangerine hand cream is definitely going to go into my purse and the eyelashes I will give it a try but I'm not a big fan of them in general. Overall this box is definitely worth what I paid for and the shipping was very fast so I will continue to repurchase this box.
