Loose Button Luxe Advent Calendar: 6th December

Behind the 6th door was.....
.....................the Yves Saint Laurent Belle D'Opium!!
These are my thoughts of this perfume:
  1. It's such a pretty bottle for a sample and it looks exactly like its full-size sister.
  2. It was a huge sample even compared to the Giorio Armani Acquia di Gioia perfume given on day 2. 
  3. It had a floral, yet woody scent. It reminded me of a cologne, except more feminine.
  4. Like the Giorio Armani perfume, this does not come with a spray. 

Overall, I thought this scent is the fall/winter season. However, I don't feel that this scent is very unique as I have come across perfume that smells exactly like this. I will be using it for this season just so it won't go to waste. I will probably not be buying the full-size version. 


See you guys tomorrow! :)

Loose Button Luxe Advent Calendar: 5th December

Hey guys :)
Today, I got the Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited in color WN 283S (rich golden mauve)
It swatched to be a dark neutral color with loads of shimmers, similar to what you see in the packaging. I would say that it is pretty opaque for a lipgloss and something I can wear by itself on a daily basis. The great thing is that this gloss goes on smoothly and is not sticky!
**I wore it all day today to work from 9AM and it did not wear off despite me having breakfast, lunch, and loads of tea until around 3PM. It was very moisturizing and really comfortable to wear.

This retails for $23 at shuuemura.com

See you guys tomorrow~
