Photoescape Reviews: Avon's Far Away Aurora

Image
 And we are back with a review! This actually has been one of my perfume when I was working in my last office job. Honestly I got tons of feedback on this because it just smells so good.  I actually just bought this because of the bottle HAHAH!  This is a complete blind buy that I do not regret so I will share my thoughts with you on this.  If you know Avon has a lot of perfume line and definitely the Far Away line is a long standing collection that I do look forward when they release new scents.  Based on Fragnantica.com  Far Away Aurora by Avon is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women. Far Away Aurora was launched in 2021. Its Top notes are Cardamom, Italian Lemon and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Yogurt, Water Lily and Rose; Base notes are Bourbon Vanilla, Cedar and Vetiver. If I can describe the scent, its initial spray is like a lemony yogurt which dries down to a very subtle rich vanilla. Honestly its ethereal and very classy. Its not too harsh on...

Avon's Eve Truth Perfume Review

Image
 I remember when this perfume came out I was a little curious about it so I did a blind buy and boy am I hooked on this scent! Avon's Eve Truth is one of the perfumes that I would absolutely gatekeep- but not to you lovelies!  If you are looking for a Floral Fruity perfume that is great for any special ocassion - This is it. With top notes of Cassis, Carambola, Black Currant and Pomegranate; Middle notes of Pink Freesia, Peony and Gardenia and base notes of Cedar, Musk and Amber brings in a symphony of timeless elegance to any look and occasion.  Though this may be a bit pricey at 1,009PHP, I can bet that this can go on sale on the next month at Avon as they bring out new scents every quarter.  I did use this during my friend's wedding back in October and it totally fitted the whole look I had. It has that airy sophisticated look which also dries down to a very clean scent afterwards. I got a lot of compliments on this when I wear it because according to some, the sc...

Dream Scents By Urbanhue's First Date Review

Image
  Third day in the row baby! I know, right? I have got it on girl so watch out! Today's product to review is Dream Scents by Urbanhue First Date! This is actually the very first one I bought from them!  First Date is a Chypre Floral Fragrance that gives a very fresh and clean perfume which is perfect for first impressions.  One of the things I do notice about a person is their scent and definitely if you use amazing perfume - I like you already!  I do like this scent though on the initial spray it would have a strong antiseptic wiff to it but the longer it is to the skin develops into a light floral that smells very clean and lady like. Projection is good though the lasting power is a bit weaker than warm nights.  Compared to Warm Nights, this one you may over spray though when I over spray on this on a warm day makes the scent evolve to like an alcohol scent which is no bueno.  Overall I love this scent though I would not recommend this to anyone. If you a...

Dream Scents By Urbanhue Warm Nights Review

Image
  Another review time! I know 2nd day in a row who is that girl? I tell you that I am really into writing back because I love it and I want to go back.  Another one of my faves at the moment is amber and vanilla scents - I don't know why but the scent just evokes something in me when I wear an amber or vanilla scent and this particular one has been a constant since October last year. I actually just finished this bottle.  Priced at 239 pesos for a 50ML bottle this does go a long way. According to the official Urbanhue page Warm Nights is  A chypre fruity floral fragrance, that is very seductive and sexy. It also has a hint of sweet vanilla and musky. The scent just evokes sexiness but it doesn't borderline into messy territory. Though a little caution on spraying this as too much can induce headaches especially in elevators. The projection is quite strong so one to two sprays in the neck or back of the ear will be good.  Out of all my Urbanhues scents (yes I hav...

Smelling Sweet as a Pea

Image
Hello lovelies!  I haven't done a scent of the moment in a while since I forgot about it. I actually didn't blog about my previous one which is Bath and Body Work's Sea Island Cotton. I tell you that scent is like the scent of summer for me.  But since I have already ran out of that, I would just talk about my latest one which I've been using for three weeks now which another BBW scent - Sweet Pea.

Product Review: Axe Anarchy Body Spray for Him and Her

Image
Hey ladies!  I'm back with a new review and it is for the Axe Anarchy scents. If you girls remember I did a series of blog posts about the Axe Anarchy a month ago you can check them here. And since I got these I was able to try the one for the girls.  I gave the guys scent to my brother since he loves Axe so much. I actually grew up with my brother using almost all the axe scents that I can remember. There was actually a time that when a guy passes by and he has axe on I would have my game face on. For some reason it just had that effect on me. 

Scent of the moment: Ever Bilena's Garden Flowers Cologne in Apple Blossom

Image
Hello ladies! Since I ran out of my BBW cologne I used my Axe Anarchy body spray but I will do another post regarding that. So going back, I like my scents depending on the weather and my mood. But generally I like my scents either sweet, musky, clean, and fresh. Its hard to define since I'm like a firecracker when it comes to these things. I usually go with my gut when getting perfumes and colognes. If the scent makes me smile and think of something good I will definitely buy it. Don't tell me you don't do that. :) 

The Axe Anarchy: The Raid has begun!

Image
  What do you do if 30 of the sexiest and prettiest celebrities and 70 of the sexiest models swarm over you? Would it be a good or bad thing? I think it would be a good thing for guys for sure!  That is what I saw at the Axe Anarchy Raid last June 9 in Eastwood Mall when 30 of the sexiest and prettiest celebrities PLUS 70 models ran to search 100 lucky men to win one million pesos. Each.  Yup you read it right, the lucky guy and girl will receive one million pesos each as the prize, its the fastest and sexiest way to win a million.

Scent of the moment: Avon's Little Red Dress

Image
I have been using this scent for a while now which is Avon's little red dress. I just got enticed to the scent because its a little similar to a perfume my mom used when I was younger. Its kinda like the perfume called Charlie. I actually liked that a lot.  I have been using this for a while now and I think I'll be able to finish the whole bottle in a month or so since I have been using this daily.  Its a little expensive though since this costs like 700 pesos for a 50 mL bottle but the scent lasts for a long time so its no biggie.  I think this is a great scent to try when you are on a date.  Have you tried this scent? What do you think about it?  Let me know on the comment box and I'll talk to you soon! Much Love! -- Alice

Tips for Finding the Right Perfume.

Image
Buying a perfume is something that I usually get giddy next to all things girly. Buying the right perfume is not just choosing the packaging or who the endorser is; it actually takes more than that. Here are some tips I can give you for you to choose the right perfume for you. 1. Consider when you are going to use it. Before buying a perfume, imagine yourself wearing it on a certain occasion; let's say a posh dinner party or just a week end escape at the beach. Usually light scents are best for everyday use while sweeter heavier scents are more for special occasions. 2. Consider the weather. What I mean by weather is when you are going to use it. If you are going to use your sweet musk perfume out on the beach, your mood might swing to another level. Light scents tend to be better during summer while sweet, lush scents are better when it is colder. 3. Trust your instinct. Before you buy that bottle of perfume with Britney, Christina or whoever it is take a moment to thi...
