I really do love vanilla based fragrances! This vanilla edp from Zara is a simple vanilla fragrance which can be worn alone or layered with other simple scents. It is also a great fragrance to wear daily and in the office. Love that!

Zara Hypnotic Vanilla edp offers notes of Apricot Flower, Sambac Jasmin, Bourbon Vanilla, moss and dulce de leche. It’s an easy fragrance to wear everyday, and it also works well with any weather; so, think of it as a year-round fragrance. Love!

The bottle pictured above is the 30ml bottle, but it is also available in 80ml and 100ml bottles. The 30ml bottle is perfect for travel or keeping a gym bag. This will also make a fabulous stocking stuffer or gift to wrap and place under the tree.

What is your favorite vanilla based fragrance?

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday manicure idea with Cosmique

Holiday manicure idea: Chanel nail polish / Hermes nail polish (used as a top coat) /

I love a little sparkle during the holiday season. That being said, understated sparkle is easier to wear daily. Since I was using this Hermes nail polish as a top coat throughout the summer and fall seasons, I decided to give it a go and continue using it during the holiday season.

Although not a technical top coat, this nail polish is clear with sparkles. It adds a subtle, festive look to this holiday nail polish from Chanel. Love that!

My favorite nail polish this holiday is Chanel Cosmique. It’s a beautiful, deep purple with a blue base. I feel like combing it with Hermes Blanc Orage Irise gives it just the right dimension. It’s also subtle enough to wear daily without looking like I am heading to a party.

What do you think of this holiday manicure idea?

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more holiday season coverage!

XOXO
