IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

Description- " The composition starts fresh mouthwatering notes of Italian bergamot, luscious plum and peach. The heart is composed of floral notes: night blooming gardenia, chocolate orchid and lotus flower. Textured woods, patchouli and skin musk are included in the base notes." As much as I like the angular sheer black bottle, for some reason the black tint has been flaking off. Messy and not a good look up close. That aside, this perfume is quite gourmand in nature. Very sweet and chocolate-y with rich, creamy florals that compliment beautifully.  It is not quite to the point of being too cloyingly sweet, but for me it is edging very close. "True Reflection" is not unique, but for a celebrity perfume it's quite nice. I find it to be a versatile fragrance that is suitable for any time of the year. It makes for a good, no fuss, casual perfume that's not over powering. For me, it doesn't last long, but I find that spraying on my...

Yeah, so it's "empties" time. Which means another month is done and dusted. I am always surprised how quick these posts seem to come around. It's dizzying just how quick this year is flying! I got through a handy amount of products, it's going to feel good binning these empties! MasqueOlogy Brightening cloth masks- I enjoy how moisturising these masks are, and I find cloth masks so easy. No applying or needing to rinse off. Repurchase? I liked them, but don't feel the need to seek them out. Ciencia8 Cleanse8 Gel - This is a wonderful cleanser. Although, it's a gel, it doesn't strip the skin like some foaming cleansers can. Repurchase? I would but it's too pricey, especially when I can spend a lot less for decent products that do just as good a job. Skinn Dermalift Neck and Decollete Serum- This is the first cream I have used to target the neck area specifically. Very nice and moisturising. Repurchase? I would definitely u...

KK has put her name to some lovely perfumes, I have to admit. I can't say that I enjoy adding to her fortune, but I can't help what my nose loves. After a quick sniff in store, I knew I had to buy "Pure Honey". Description- " ...composition of notes of roses and wild honeycomb" At first spray I get rich, golden honey that is slightly boozy. Don't think your typical sickly sweet honey note, this is more like warm, flowing honey that you just want to dip your finger in. Upon drydown, the white floral emerges working to compliment the honey, and giving a Summery feel. There's that slightly spicy note of rose, but it doesn't smell strongly of heady florals, it's creamier. I don't find this fragrance to be heavy at all. It lingers, but only in wafts, like a warm Summer breeze. Although there is that gourmand element, I find the perfume to be feminine and grown-up. I really love the angular shape of this bottle. And th...

Description- " Glam is a floral-fruity fragrance with powdery-woody musky background. It opens with accords of watermelon, juicy red berries and citrus. The heart encompasses flowers of star jasmine, tuberose and rose absolute. The final trail consists of orris butter, sandalwood and musk ." Upon first spray I am greeted by the sweet, heady, white floral that  is tuberose. The fruity tang only enhances the gardenia florals. I do like the tuberose note, and must say that it is done well in this fragrance, even if it almost makes me sneeze, lol. During wear, the sandalwood is more noticeable, but not too loud as to take away the fresh, Spring feel of this perfume. Kim Kardashian fan I am not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater, I just simply don't care. Her perfumes on the other hand, I must say appeal to me. I have 2, and would consider adding this one to my collection. Have you tried any KK perfumes?

I just don't understand the whole KK appeal, I just find the publicity circus uninspiring. In saying that, this girl has put her name to some lovely perfumes, yes I have more than one, I own full sizes of Honey and True Reflection. The namesake perfume Kim Kardashian is described as " a fragrance constructed of luminous, sweet opening notes, intoxicating floral middle notes, and sensual, sexy aromas in a base. An opening includes refreshing notes of mandarin surrounded with floral-lemon honeysuckle and orange blossom, while a heart blooms, pink jasmine, tuberose, gardenia and spices. A base is created of warm, gentle tonka, jacaranda wood, vanilla orchid, sexy musk and creamy sandalwood." This perfume had me at gardenia and tuberose. I don't get a lot of the huge list of notes mentioned, but creamy, sweet, zesty white florals, yes! It is alluring and intoxicating, without being too strong and nausea inducing. It's one of those perfumes that when you think yo...
