Midnight Poison Eau de Parfum Spray
Created by François Demachy, perfumer-creator for Dior, Midnight Poison was composed with a captivating yet elusive seductress in mind. Its singular signature is that of the queen of flowers, the rose, but a black and mysterious one set against a backdrop of patchouli and the aphrodisiac effects of amber. In its wake lies a metamorphosis of extraordinary sensuality.
ORIENTAL FLORAL
Midnight Poison Eau de Parfum is an oriental floral. A new Cinderella is born.
Top Note
ESSENCE OF DAMASK ROSE: Originally from Turkey and Bulgaria and a key element in the perfumer's palette, Damascus rose is used for its essence and absolute. It flourishes as the top note of Midnight Poison Eau de Parfum.
Heart Note
PATCHOULI: Patchouli is a plant originally from Indonesia and Malaysia. A key element of the perfumer's palette, its essence is obtained by steam distilling the dried leaves. It is used in chypre, woody and oriental fragrances.
Base Note
AMBER ACCOR: This raw material is animal in origin and brings depth and sensuality to fragrances. This rare, precious substance used to be worth its weight in gold. It is now found in both men's and women's fragrances and brings out its mysterious tone as a base note in Midnight Poison.

Of all the Poisons from Dior, Midnight Poison has the best smell on my skin. I'm more "me" when I'm wearing it, and the other Poisons just didn't "click" with a chemistry of my skin. It was released in 2007. and was created by Oliver Cresp (Light Blue, Noa, Ange ou Demon, Kenzo Amour, Angel ...), Jacques Cavallier (Poeme, Nina, Alchimie, Stella, Cinema ...) and Francois Demachy (Hypnotic Poison, Miss Dior, Dior Addict eau Sensuelle ...).
Bottle of the Midnight Poison was inspired by Chinese bottles from the 17. century called "snuff bottles", and they come in size of a 1 .oz, a 1.6 .oz and a 3.3 . oz EDP, and also in a small pure perfume bottle of a 0,25 .oz with the line of a body care.
Face of this perfume is gorgeous Eva Green, you may know here from the Bond 007 movie - Casino Royale.
Through this perfume you will notice a strong scent of a patchouli, which gives this perfume a bit of a "masculine" scent, and for that reason this perfume can be wear by men and women. I love it because, for me this perfume has the best mix of a patchouli and a rose, with amber as a base, and no other perfume doesn't have that owerpowering well blended smell like Midnight Poison does (I'm talking to you Guerlain Idylle Duet) :)
Also, even this is a strong perfume it can be wear through the whole year, it is very delightful, but the only thing that is bothering me a bit is that it can only last for about 4 hours on my skin. For one strong and EDP scent I expect longer lasting power. But, since it is gorgeous I'll have to accept this tiny mistake. :)

This product actually works
Date:9 September 2012
For some time now, I really wan't to achieve healthy look on my face and I decided to try Trilogy Rosehip oil, I read about it a lot on the internet, and this oil really have a good reviews and it is a winner of a 14 prizes, so it didn't take me to much to think, I had to order it.
(as a gift with purchase I received Trilogy lip gloss, which wasn't to great for me, sorry Trilogy!)
Purpose of this oil is to reduce the scars, the wrinkles and the stretch marks, you can't use it if you have open wounds on your body or face. I used it only on my face and neck, but I'm planing to use it on my stretch marks also.
Every morning and night I add 4 drops on my hand and then apply it on my face and neck. You don't need to much of it because it is very oily and easy to blend.
After 7 days I noticed that my skin looks brighter and better, I can see that my skin is recovering from the inside, and I believe if I continue to use it, my face will get better. I don't think this 14 awards were given for nothing! :)
First time when I start to use this Oil I had a growing pimple under my skin, and was a bit painful when I touch it, next morning pain was gone, and after 2 days of using this Oil, the pimple was gone. So I really do believe this product do wonders on the skin.
The only thing that is bothering me a bit is the smell. It really smells like oil you use in the kitchen while your doing your meals. I don't like it, it isn't overpowering but you can smell it during the day. This product leaves your skin greasy but not in that weird way, it actually can be worn under the make up, and you won't have that sticky feeling when you wearing it. That is great, because I hate that sticky feeling on my skin. I mean, who doesn't? :)

I love multipurpose products, so this one had to be mine, and since it is a Limited Edition, so what is there to think? This product comes in a gold, nicely not high quality package, and it weights 10 grams. Under the cap you can find face powder in a 3 colors with pink stripes of a blush.Smell of this product is very nice, an old smell of a rose, a violet and iris. If you know how the Violetta di Parma perfume smells, this powder smells very similar to it.
I was a bit sceptical about applying this blush on my cheeks, and was very surprised when I actually applied it with a brush. It is possible! :) This blush gives a very nice, natural pinkish color to your cheeks, while the other three colors of a face powder can be used all together or separate for contouring.
I swiped my brush over the palette and then apply it all over the face, at first my face looked a bit light, but after a few minutes when powder sets on your face and adapt to it, it gives you a nice finish. I was very pleased with effect on my face.
I used darker parts of this palette for contouring my cheeks, and on the top of that I add a bit of a pink blush. It doesn't clog my pores, and it kept my face mate for about 6 hours. I really love it! Great product for great price!

For a while I wanted to achieve that fresh and natural skin looking glow (who doesn't), and I think that illuminator is a great way to achieve that look, just for a while, and I kind of like it a bit more than the highlighters. Because illuminator gives you that natural, glowy effect, and with highlighters it is a bit noticable.
I decided to go with St.Tropez because I read good reviews about that brand. Just so you know, there are 3 different colors of this illuminator, pink (for those with cool undertone), gold (for those with warm undertone) and purple - blue (for those with neutral undertone)
St.Tropez Skin Illuminator can be used for the face or for the body. You can mixed it with a foundation or with a body lotion/cream. I using it just for the some parts of my face. It really gives you that illuminated fresh look on the face. I just love this product.

Dior Addict Eau de Parfum unleashes fresh and captivating top notes that blend Mandarin Leaf with Tunisian Orange Blossom.
Intense and vibrant, it reveals a powerful heart of Jasmine Sambac Absolute that blossoms with soft femininity and sensuality.
The base unfurls in the deep and exquisite warmth of Bourbon Vanilla. A soft and seductive trail tinged with light.

well, I must say that this one here is really THE perfume. You will be noticed with this one. The truly oriental perfume for the nights out, you will experience his full expression during a colder time. His wearability is very strong, he will stick with you through the day. Great combination of Bulgarian rose, Night Queen flower and bourbon vanilla will swipe you of you're feet. Literally.

It's finally mine! When I first saw this product I was craving about it. And it was more because of a gorgeous package than for the product itself. Yes, this is a great product, but I'm first falling for cute package, and I know I'm not the only one! ;)
This product comes in a hard, round shaped box with a mirror and it weighs 9 grams.
Purpose of this product is to bright up the face, like in that special occasion when you're at a romantic dinner while candles on the table enlighten you're face... Hm... Honestly, if you put this product on all over your face you will look more like a disco ball than like your face was enlightened by the candles. :)

But... it is absolutely gorgeous for enhancing some parts of your face like top of the cheeks, under the eyebrows, top of the nose ... so I would definitely recommend this product but only for particular parts of the face, not the whole face!
If you want a discreet shine on some parts of your face, than this is a great product for that use. And also, some interesting facts are that this product contains vitamins, pure gold particles and it is not tested on animals. I really love this product, and how it looks like on my face. This is my first Too Faced product and I'm very happy with this purchase.

Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml
Sophisticated with a sultry edge, Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum is an homage to a modern English rose in full bloom.
The debut fragrance from Stella McCartney is a natural extension of her fashion line, its codes true to the naturally confident women whom she dresses. Playful and daring yet sophisticated, it captures all of the different facets of what it means to be a modern woman, encapsulated in an iconic ombre bottle inspired by an amethyst crystal.
A study in contrasts. Stella unfurls its velveteen petals slowly. First it reveals the brightness of mandarin essence, and then, with the lightest of touches, the romance of peony. In the heart rose absolute reigns supreme, enhanced by a base of masculine woody amber notes to create a darkly mysterious flower, both sensuous and instinctive.
Top Notes: Mandarin Essence, Peony
Heart Notes: English Rose Accord
Base Notes: Amber Accord

Stella herself told that she wanted to achieve smell of older rose, but I must say I don't smell "that" rose in this scent, because I imagine that old rose scent would smell something like Lalique - Encre Noir, but that's just mine opinion on old rose, and I wan't to write you my opinion on this rose from Stella.
This rose is modern, gentle, soft and little bit oily rose, with perfect combination of peony and mandarin, and all that is gently balanced with great amber finish.
This fragrance was created in companionship with one of the famous fragrance designer Jacques Cavalliera you my already "smell" his work through Poeme, Midnight Poison, Hot Couture, Elle, Alchime, Cinema ... and many more.

Stella herself told that this fragrance presents first morning freshness and first ray of sun. I would agree with her, it is very light fragrance, and you won't make mistake with it in those days when you don't know what fragrance to use, this one is great choice, because it is not overpowering. It is mixed with hint of pink pepper, peony, grapefruit and of course perfect amber base.
Great every day fragrance, not overpowering more like a skin scent.

A cult favourite and award-winner, the Almond Shower Oil envelops the body in lusciously sweet almond-scented bliss. The golden elixir transforms into a rich, indulgent foam when met with water, offering a foaming and lavish formula that expertly cleanses skin while leaving it perfumed with the mouthwatering scent of marzipan with a satin-like softness and sheen.
Kind to even the most delicate skin, the L'Occitane cleansing oil immerses the body in a delicate almond cloud. The almond oil respects skin's hydrolipidic film and leaves skin appearing refined, supple and toned.
Why We Love It
This smoothing and nourishing oil is a true bathing delight that transforms the everyday bathing ritual to a daily pamper. We love the silky texture and the delicious almond scent, and the fact it leaves skin soft and hydrated so you don't have to worry about moisturising after you bathe either.
Plus, the body oil has its secret uses too. We love popping 2 - 3 caps of oil to the bath for a more decadent bathing experience, and it also can be used for shaving as the razor glides effortlessly and smoothly over the skin.
L'Occitane is committed to their sustainable and ethical commitments; they have long-term relations with their almond producers and are dedicated to protecting biodiversity.

This oil smells georgeous, the best smell of any shower product that I ever used. If you have a chance to smell it, than smell it and you will know what I'm talking about.
Texture of this shower oil is more "oily" (watery) than other showe oils that I used. You have to use a bit more of this oil to cover all body, and it is harder to blend on skin, and it is less fomay. But it is great for shaving, it really leaves you're skin smoth and silky, and smell last on skin for a while

This summer I'm having problems with atopic dermatitis, the reason I got it because I was showering for 2, 3 times in one day and also I have allergies on some metals and food, and result of all this was awfully rash, redness, and itching on some parts of my skin. I was really desperate and then I bought Avene Thermal Water to see it would help me.
In about 2 days my rash and redness was almost gone, and there were no itching, and since then I can say that Avene Thermal Water is HG for me!
I used it on my face, and I haven't felt any dryness, and tension while I was using it, and I can say that for Vichy Thermal Wather, because I had drier skin while I was using it.
This AVENE TW is definetly my HG product, and I will use it forever. Not only for alergiess, because this is multipurpose product it will be used in another purpose, like against scratching when mosquito bites me. :)
