review: hot couture eau de toilette by givenchy

hot couture by givenchy is my new love. i often find it extremely difficult to find a perfume that i like, and as soon as i smelled this one, i fell head over heels. my roommate was the person who showed me this wonderful scent. Every time i smelled it, i knew i had to get my hands on one of my own.

the fragrance has hints of raspberry, strawberry, spice rose, tuberose, bergamont, citron, amber, and white musk.

it is simultaneously girly, sophisticated, confident, sexy, fun, and playful, which makes it perfect for a girl in their late teens to late twenties. i feel like this truly matches my personality and is perfect for everyday wear.

this is avaliable for purchase at ulta and sephora. i got mine from ulta since i got to use my member points and i got to choose any perfume as a reward.

this perfume gets an A+!!!

review: kim kardashian perfume

good morning!!! time for a review! :)

when i received my nars highlighting/bronzing duo from sephora (see post below for review), i got to pick 3 samples. when i saw that one was kim kardashian's new perfume i was SO excited! there has been soooo much publicity for this - there's an ad in every magazine i read, so i thought it would be great! plus, i love kim kardashian and watch "keeping up with the kardashians" like it's my job.



well... i was so wrong. as soon as i opened it, i sprayed it onto a piece of paper. my roommate, my boyfriend, and i smelled it
and we all agreed that it was - for lack of a better word - gross. i even started getting sick from the smell. i was so disappointed... sorry kim k.! :(
it really smells to me like something my grandma would wear and i find nothing good about it. personally, i like vanilla and light flowery scents and this was wayyyy too overpowering for my liking.

i give it a solid C because it is just not a scent you would associate with a woman in her 20's or 30's, especially not kim kardashian.
