One Minute Reviews - BPAL Autumn Cider

Can I just say this is in my top 10 favorite scents? I love fall scents most of all, and I love having a bunch of decants from the lovely people on the BPAL forums to test them all out. Today I bring you: One Minute Review of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Autumn Cider!

Notes : Fermented apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, lemon zest, butterscotch liquor, and orange slices.


At first it smells like a craft store around autumn, you know that really specific "cinnamon" smell that permeates the air? And it certainly smells like that when you sniff your wrist where you applied it. BUT! when it is just wafting around you in a cloud of delicious autumnal amazingness, you can catch a whiff of a beautiful fruitiness that isn't there when you are up close and personal with the scent.

I give this a 10 out of 10.

I will definitely be seriously considering purchasing a full size of this come Halloween time.

Everyday is an adventure.

Weekly Loves and Unloves - 7/1-7/15

Last week I didn't wear much makeup it was so hot and humid but over the past two weeks I have used some products I have enjoyed and some I just cannot stand.

Love :  ZOYA nail polish
I had worn Wednesday for, like, two weeks with minimal wear. I am currently wearing Shawn and just have a small amount of tip wear.

Unlove : OPI especially Lucky Lucky Lavender
I want to punch this in its face. It was horrible to apply. Its thick and streaky and three coats later I have horrible chipping only a day or two after application. Boo!

Love : BPAL Pumpkin Princess
LOVE THIS PERFUME! 
Description - Before the Grand Dame was the Pumpkin Queen, she was a Pumpkin Princess! Bright, sweet pumpkin with vanilla fluff, guava, chocolate-dusted white amber, tiare, red currant, raw honey, and meringue.

Unlove : Tokyo Milk - Poe's Tobacco No. 1
I have tried to love this so much. I love Poe and the scent notes seemed nice, but to me, it just smells like an old lady for me. 

Description - A decidedly different collection of brilliantly paired fragrance notes housed in an alluring glass bottle decorated with Poe's own raven. Deeply nostalgic: Tobac, Tea Leaves, Amberwood & Autumn Apple

 What have you been loving, unloving, or using a lot these past two weeks?
