Lancome Hypnose Senses Eau de Parfum Review

Hypnose Senses is a modern chypre scent.  The opening is a subtle pairing of mandarin and pink pepper with soft apricot undertones.  The opening notes lead to a restrained floral heart of osmanthus and rose against a leathery musk backdrop.  A touch of honey slightly warms the floral bouquet.  The composition settles to a clean, contemporary patchouli base with a spiced tonka bean finish.  Notes include: Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper, Osmanthus Blossom, Rose, Honey, Patchouli, Cistus Labdanum, Benzoin and Tonka Bean. 

Lancome Hypnose Eau de Parfum Review

Hypnose is a fruity floral scent with a soft vanilla finish.  The fragrance opens with an explosion of sweet fruit, spice and bright florals.  The top notes quickly mellow into a smooth blend of berries, fresh blossoms and a hint of powder.  The fruity floral accord gradually fades to a creamy vanilla base with a whisper of vetiver.  Notes include: Passion Flower, Sambac Jasmine, Solar Notes, Vanilla, Vetiver. 

L’Oreal Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Concealer (Light) Review

Bare Naturale Concealer is a feathery-soft powder with a brightening matte finish.  The concealer provides sheer to medium coverage for dark circles and blemishes but the coverage gradually melts away.  The powder formula is gentle and non-irritating; however, it can accentuate dry, flaky skin.  The light shade is lighter than it appears in the packaging and would be suitable for fair to light complexions.  The sift container should be kept in upright position to prevent the powder from spilling out. 

Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush (Nude) Review

Beautifying Blush in Nude has a silky powder texture and a luminous matte finish.  Nude is a light tan shade that is not too orange or brown and can easily double as a subtle bronzer.  The blush provides a sheer wash of color when applied with a large fluffy brush.  The color can be intensified with a denser brush which deposits more pigment.  The blush wears well and gives the skin a healthy glow.

Moschino Glamour Eau de Parfum Review

Glamour is a sparkling floral scent.  The fragrance begins with a refreshing blend of citrus, green herbs and a hint of sea salt.  The top notes gradually meld into an airy bouquet of tropical blossoms.  As the floral notes fade, the composition reveals a clean musk base warmed with sheer amber.  Notes include: Tangerine Blossom, Artemisia, Sea Salt, Hibiscus, Cattleya Orchid, Lotus Flower, Amber, Cedar, White Musk.
