Nina L'Elixir Review

I decided that I needed a new "get ready for spring" fragrance this month. I was out madly sniffing scents and coffee beans when I came across Nina L'Elixir. It was the bottle that drew me to it in the begining. It is so absolutely gorgeous! And then the fragrance.... this perfume is just as beautiful as it's packaging! 

According to the Nina L'Elixir site, it is a blend of sparkling fresh notes of calabrian lemon and caipirinha lime. Woody Amber notes give Nina L’Elixir an irresistibly sensual Oriental accord. Cedarwood, Cotton Musk, and warm Amber are the base notes. I am  attaching the Nina marketing video because it is very pretty and well done. Don't let the young girl in these ads turn you away...this fragrance is very sophisticated and is appropriate for any age!

I love this fragrance, and it's the first eau de parfume in a long time that has me excited! Hopefully you can try it. It was a great way to spend my Shopper's Optimum Points!

Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss Review

I accidentally stumbled across these lip glosses while shopping for horrible things like laundry detergent and garbage bags. I saw the pretty black stand that read "NEW" and I had to see what it was all about! Now, shopping for laundry detergent and garbage bags does NOT make a girl feel pretty, so a new lip gloss to go with my new "spring rain" and "odour guard" sounded just about right!

I gravitated to the pinks and chose "Rosepearl" (middle colour in the pics). It is beautiful! It is a highly pigmented mauve-pink. Kind of has a frosty finish, but is not gritty or glittery. The coverage is full/opaque just like a lipstick.

I decided that I needed MORE of these! I then went out and bought "Fire" which is the (you guessed it) bright red. This is beautiful, shiny, full/opaque coverage and a gorgeous shade of true red. None of these glosses feel sticky or heavy and they have good staying power.

The last shade I just recently picked up is "Peony". It is a shimmery coral-pink. This is the most transparent of any that I have tried so far. It is very pretty and gives a natural pinky shimmer on it's own or is gorgeous over other lipsticks.

These retail for about $10 to $12 and I say they are worth the price! Happy Glossing!
