Things that have made me happy recently

 
Lancome Sensational Effects Eye Shadow in Opal Mystere

I love my Lancome, and I love their Sensational Effects shadows. Goes on smooth as butter and lasts all day with little to no creasing. They blend beautifully and smoothly and have virtually NO fallout. I love this particular shade because it's so neutral you can actually pull off the fake natural look, a la Jennifer Aniston.  It's an excellent accent shade with SO many different colors and is truly versatile. 












Bath & Body Works Eau de Toilette
Butterfly Flower
I like that this smells feminine and flirty without being too floral or overly little girlish.  I see this as more of a daytime scent, as it's not too overwhelming for the office and has a sunniness to it.

They say:
Inspired by the natural elegance and playful femininity of a butterfly garden in full bloom, master perfumers have blended French mimosa petals, Asian syringa flower, luscious tangerine and tenufolia orchid to create this vibrant fragrance.

Bath & Body Works Black Amethyst
I got a coupon for a free full sized bottle of the B&BW scent of my choice and I had a REALLY hard time deciding between this one and the Sensual Amber, but this one finally won out. Maybe it's because amethyst is my birthstone, but I could not stop smelling myself and it seemed so perfectly ME.  The scent has staying power, and it's sexy and mysterious without being slutty. LOVE IT!!!!


Master perfumers have seductively layered a sophisticated blend of Italian bergamot and rare camellias with exotic sandalwood and a surprising twist of vetiver in this hypnotic fine fragrance, inspired by chic, sensual and confident women. Winner: WWD Beauty Biz's Breakthrough Product of the Year/Mass Fragrance, December 2008.

Bath & Body Works Sensual Amber
Yeah, this one had a week long battle with the Black Amethyst. I think I'm giving in and just purchasing a full bottle of this one, because it was SOOOOOO hard to choose between the two.  The emotional qualities of the two are so similar, that it was a hard choice. I literally spent an entire week going back and forth between the 2 to make my choice.

For the exotic scent of pink lotus petals enveloped in golden amber, master perfumers have blended lotus and amber with succulent plum and creamy sandalwood.
