IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

It really doesn't seem like a month since my last Empties post! Oh well, here goes.. A little bit of everything in this empties posts, except for perfume samples. Yeah, there's a lot of those! Masque-ology Brightening Mask- I bought some of these cloth masks online from Ozsale. It was very wet, but clung to my face well. There was a lot of product in this cloth mask. I removed after around 30 minutes. I then massaged the remaining serum into my skin. Repurchase? I didn't really see any changes in regards to whitening of my skin, which I could really use with all the pigmentation I have. However, I did find it soothing and very hydrating.

Description- " The One Desire reveals in the top notes a citrusy blend of bergamot, mandarin, lychee and lily of the valley, emphasizing the glamour and glory of a woman. The heart blooms with seductive tuberose which is cleverly laid out on the base which is made of caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and musk." Upon first spray, I get a lovely tart burst of citrus mixed with creamy florals. It is sweet, but not too cloying or heady. During wear, the perfume dries down to reveal the richer caramel, sandalwood and musk notes. It retains the fruity sweetness, but it becomes richer and slightly boozy. Although there is a creamy syrup quality, I wouldn't class this perfume as gourmand, it is too grown up. This perfume is nothing new, but I find it so appealing in its very feminine and elegant feel. "The One Desire" is a fragrance I could see becoming a new addition to my perfume collection.
