Review: Avon Little Sequin Dress Eau de Parfum

I already have a few of Avon Little Dress fragrances and I have a review here. This is a range that features simple square bottles with variety of scents. There's something sophisticated, classic, fresher, ultra sweet and now something spring sweet. With the addition of Avon Little Sequin Dress you'll get something for those of you that like sweet fruits on sweet woody base with a hint of florals. 


The bottle is a transparent square glass with transparent plastic top. Details are gold. In the back of the bottle is a design of sequins to represent its name. Spray pump works well. It comes in a paper box with a light pink design and silver sequins.

It's eau de parfum and in it is 50 ml of product. Regular price is 26€. Currently it's on offer for 20.50€ (Slovenia).


Avon describes this fragrance as a blend of mandarin, mango (top notes), gardenia, tropical flowers (middle notes), sensual musk and essence of the gold amber (Base notes). Fragrantica also listed sandalwood as one of the base notes. 

The first splash of this fragrance gives you a very sweet fruity punch. I definitely smell mandarin and a lot of mango sweetness. Second after the first splash you get that floral note, which quickly turns into a more tropical scent like a mix of tropical fruit and flowers. After a while the fragrance turns into a sweeter woody one that really brings out all the classic base notes that I usually love so much in other fragrances. 

If I had to describe it, I'd say that this it's a sweet tropical fruity floral fragrance. The base is quite sweet, but most of the time you get that strong scent of mango and hints of florals. 


This scent starts off really strong, to the point where it's almost a bit too strong for my liking. It quickly fades away to a more subtle scent, but it's definitely not as long lasting on me as some other Avon fragrances. 


If you like tropical scents of really sweet tropic fruits mixed with hints of florals, you'll definitely love this one. To me this is perfect fragrance to wear as the weather transitions from spring to summer. There's that floral note that's so commonly used for spring fragrances mixed with sweet tropical fruits that remind you of summer holidays. Combination of both gives you a quite strong scent which fades through the day fairly quick. It's a fairly basic sweet tropical fruity floral scent that sweet lovers will appreciate.

Že imam nekaj dišav iz Avonove linije Little Dress in ocene teh si lahko preberete tukaj. Gre za linijo dišav s preprostim kvadratnim dizjanom in večjim naborov vonjev. V liniji se najde nekaj bolj sofisticiranega, klasičnega, svežega, zelo sladkega in zdaj še nekaj bolj spomladansko sladkega. Z dodatkom nove Avon Little Sequin Dress je Avon dodal nekaj za vse, ki iščete sladko sadno dišavo z lesno sladko podlago in dodatkom ščepca cvetlic.

Steklenička je prozorna in ima obliko kvadrata. Pokrov je prozoren in plastičen. Detalji so v zlatih odtenkih. Na zadnji strani stekleničke je poslikava bleščic, ki predstavljajo ime dišave. Pumpica deluje v redu. Parfum dobite v škatlici, ki ima svetel roza dizajn s srebrnimi bleščicami.

Je parfumska voda in v steklenički se nahaja 50 ml izdelka. Redna cena parfuma je 26€. Trenutno jo lahko dobite za 20.50€ tukaj.

Avon opiše dišavo kot mešanico mandarine, manga (zgornje note), gardenije, tropskih rož (srednje note), senzualnega mošusa in esence zlatega jantarja (spodnje note). Fragrantica navaja še eno izmed spodnjih not in sicer sandalovino. 

Prvi val dišave takoj po nanosu je močan sadni vonj. Vsekakor se dobro čuti mandarina in veliko sladkobe manga. Nekaj sekund po prvem nanosu opazim rožnate note, ki dišavo spremenijo v mešanico tropskega sadja in tropskega cvetja. Čez čas dišava postane bolj lesno sladka s klasičnimi spodnjimi notami, ki so mi tako zelo všeč v drugih dišavah. 

Če bi morala opisati dišavo, bi rekla da je sladko tropsko sadno cvetlična dišava. Podlaga je precej sladka. Večino časa voham predvsem veliko manga s cvetličnim dodatkom. 

Takoj pa nanosu dišave je ta izredno močna, skoraj malo preveč za moj okus. Sicer dokaj hitro postane bolj nežna verzija. Na meni dišava ni dolgo obstojna, vsaj ne tako kot več drugih Avonovih dišav. 

Če imate radi tropske vonje z zelo sladkim tropskim sadjem zmešanim s cvetličnimi notami, potem vam bo ta dišava zagotovo všeč. Zame je to odlična dišava za prehod iz spomladanskega obdobja v poletno. Cvetlične note so pogosto uporabljene v spomladanskih dišavah. S sladko mešanico tropskega sadja me spomnijo na poletne počitnice. Kombinacija obojega se kaže v precej močni dišavi, ki pa čez dan dokaj hitro zbledi. Je klasičen sladko tropsko sadno cvetlični vonj, ki ga bodo občudovali vsi oboževalci sladkih dišav.

Review: Avon Imari Elixir

My preferred taste in fragrances is everything that's a bit woody, musky, sweet and vanillary. I like fruity notes, but am not crazy about floral, although I've been changing my mind about that in the past couple of months. I've found some floral fragrances that don't smell like grandmas. Today it's all about a sweet and strong fragrance by Avon called Imari Elixir.


It has a somewhat rectangular bottle with cut off edges. I was attracted to it because of the black design paired with gold writing. Usually those colors represent something stronger and sexier. Paper box has the same theme. 

In it is 50 ml of fragrance and the regular price is 20€. Currently you can get it for 11.90€ (Slovenia).


Spray works fine, but actually produces a large amount of liquid with one press.


It's an eau de toilette, so it's not as long lasting as perfume, but it has a strong power to it, so it still lasts well on my skin. 

Avon says that it has notes of blackberry, rose absolute and vanilla extract

I always love to check the notes on fragrantica and they describe it like so...
Base notes: patchouli, red amber and vanilla.
Middle notes: ylan-ylang, jasmine and rose.
Top notes: mandarin orange, green apple and blackberry.


It starts with a very strong sweet fruity note, a bit berry like. As it evolves it becomes more floral and I kind of dislike this stage. It smells a bit like floral toilette re-fresheners. Too green and floral for my taste. I love it the most at the end stage when it becomes deeper and sweeter. It's also not as strong as with the first spritz that just hits you in the nose like a wave of fruity sweetness. In the end I smell it more as a vanilla sweet fragrance, very classic, but still strong for something that is eau de toilette. 


I am on the fence with this scent. It's really strong at a first sniff and I kind of dislike floral notes in it as it smells cheap. I do love it once it evolves into those sweet base notes. It's somewhat classic strong sweet vanilla scent with a punch of blackberry and a whiff of rose. To me it's the perfect fall fragrance, because it smells too sweet and feels too heavy for a spring or summer. If you're the ultimate lover of vanilla classics and like strong sweet scents then you'll probably love it. 

Review: L'Occitane Folie Florale Petal-Soft Body Milk

Hey Beauties!

I have a treat for you today. Lovely spring smelling body milk that will leave your body scented and moisturized. L'Occitane Cherry Blossom collection is huge and it offers variety of products all spring scented. I was trying out their Folie Florale Petal-Soft Body Milk and this will definitely be in my monthly favorites.


It comes in a transparent plastic bottle. The bottle has a rhombus shape if you look down at it. It's somewhat different to the usual bottle designs.


It also has nice cherry blossom details which are actually 3D printed into the bottle. Speaking of 3D, there is also Braille writing on the back.


Plastic silver top also looks like it's part of a magic bottle and it compliments the design nicely. I do have a problem with it though. The part that actually opens up is so small that I almost always break my nails, when I try to open it. This is a disadvantage to me. It looks pretty, but it's not functional, especially considering it's for women, who a lot of them have long nails and this would be very inconvenient. 



L'Occitane says that this body lotion leaves the skin soft, moisturized and perfumed with a fruity, floral, sparkling scent. A cherry blossom floral water from the Luberon region of Provence reveals green, botanical notes that recall the delicate flowers. It's enriched with shea butter.

It costs 23.40€ and in it is 250 ml of product. You can buy it here. Here you'll also find the ingredients list. 

It's pastel pink a bit more liquid body milk. It's thin in consistency and spreads easily. Shea butter in it makes it stick better and also make it feel slightly buttery. It's a really nice mix of regular light milk or lotion and a bit of butter for that slip and moisture. 


It soaks into the skin quickly, but leaves behind slight bit of that shea butter layer, which moisturizes the skin and makes it feel soft. This is more of a lightweight moisture. My skin feels nourished and soft the next day and the best thing about it is that I can still smell it. I usually use body products in the evening, go to sleep and then recheck it in the morning.

If your skin is very dry, this probably won't be enough for you. But if you're looking for something lightweight with still good moisture effect, you'll like it.

It smells amazing, but you'd expect this from L'Occitane. It's such a unique mix of fruity sweetness and a bit of floral freshness. I would say that it's more on the gentle sweet fruity side. At least that's how I smell it and I adore the scent. It's perfect for spring and I can't wait for t-shirts to be in season, so I can smell it on me. As I said before, this still smells on me in the morning. It's a powerful scent as far as the long lasting power goes, but a gentle sweetness otherwise. 


It's obvious that I really like this body milk. I've already used up more than half of it and I think I need to stop now, if I want to use this on warm spring days. It's a really nice lightweight moisturizing body milk and I love the unique thin consistency mixed with shea butter that leaves that soft layer on the skin. Smell is the star of it and you'll love it if you like fruity gentle sweet scents. The bottle is obviously just as gorgeous and would be a nice gift on itself, but the top is not practical. I encourage you to smell this, if you're near the store.

Review: Avon Outspoken Party by Fergie

Hey Beauties!

Avon already has three scents from the Outspoken by Fergie line. Recently, they've added fourth one and it's just as amazing as many other Avon perfumes. As you've probably noticed on my blog, I like a lot of Avon products. There are two types of products that I really like from that company and those have to be lipsticks and perfumes. It helps that both are very affordable and of really good quality.


Avon Outspoken Party by Fergie comes in a very pretty dark purple paper box. The design is eye catching.


The bottle has just as pretty design and I'm sure you'll want to display it on your shelves. The perfume has fuchsia pink shade of liquid. The bottle is half transparent and the other half has almost rose gold metal detail. Shape reminds me of potion bottles.


Top to me looks like a diamond. Very luxurious, yet still playful looking. Something meant for younger women. 



What I like about Avon perfumes the most is that their prices are very affordable. A lot more than in the drugstore. I also like the fact that all of their perfumes have at least 50 ml in the bottle. This one is also 50 ml and the regular price is 32€ (Currently you can get it for only 16.90€).

This is sweet woody fragrance. The top note is raspberry. In the middle you'll find peony. It finishes with base notes of sandalwood and creme brulee

If you're sweet scents lover, you'll absolutely love this. First spritz gives you a very fruity sweet scent of raspberry mixed with floral note of peony. It starts off very subtle and sweet. Then it develops into a sultrier version of woody sandalwood, and later creme brulee adds nice sweetness to the woody notes.


The scents actually reminds me a lot of Britney Spears perfumes. One in particular, Midnight Fantasy. They both start off with a very sweet fruity note. Midnight Fantasy is a lot sweeter and a lot more fruity, while Outspoken Party is a more sophisticated wood based version. By no means are they dupes or even very similar once they're fully developed, but they are in that similar sweet fruits group of scents, although Outspoken Party smells more sophisticated because of the sandalwood.


Outspoken Party is also a lot less punchy and less strong. It has a nice staying power, but it's not sickly strong. I would almost say it's more on the subtle side of fragrances. I find that most of Avon perfumes last really well on my skin and this one does too, but I guess that depends from skin to skin.

I love fruity sweet scents from Avon and I really like this one too. It's a nice sophisticated woody version of all my other super sweet fruits scents from my collection. The bottle is gorgeous and the price is very affordable.

Avon ima v svoji ponudbi že tri parfume iz linije Outspoken by Fergie. Pred kratki se je trojčku pridružil še četrti član. Kot ste verjetno na mojem blogu že opazili, imam zelo rada Avon izdelke. Dva tipa njihovih izdelkov sta mi še posebej všeč in sicer šminke in parfumi. Oba tipa izdelkov sta precej poceni in za to ceno še vedno dobite res dobro kvaliteto.

Avon Outspoken Party by Fergie pride v zelo lepi temno vijolični kartonasti škatlici. Dizajn je vabljiv.

Tudi steklenička je lepa in prepričana sem, da jo boste z veseljem razstavile na svojo polico. Tekočina parfuma je v fuksijasti roza barvi. Pol steklenice je prozorne. Druga polovica ima roza zlat kovinski detajl. Oblika me spominja na stekleničke raznih magičnih napitkov izpod rok vračev.

Pokrov meni izgleda kot diamant. Zelo luksuzen, a še vedno razigran dizajn. Nekaj kar izgleda primerno za mlade ženske.

Kar mi je všeč glede Avon parfumov, je dejstvo, da so cene res dostopne. Veliko bolj kot večina parfumov iz drogerij. Všeč mi je tudi, da v vsakem od njihovih parfumov dobite vsaj 50 ml. Tudi v tem je 50 ml parfuma in redna cena je 32€. Trenutno lahko tega lepotca dobite za samo 16.90€.

To je sladko lesna dišava. V zgornji noti najdete malino. V srednjih notah je potonika. Konča se z osnovnima notama sandalovine in sladice creme brulee. 

Če obožujete sladke dišave, potem vam bo ta zagotovo všeč. Prvi vonj, ki vas udari v nos je sadno sladka nota maline pomešana s cvetličnim vonjem potonike. Dišava se začne zelo subtilno in sladko. Kasneje se razvije v močnejšo verzijo lesne sandalovine in na koncu creme brulee doda sladkobo k lesni noti.

Vonj me precej spominja na Britney Spears parfume. Še posebej na Midnight Fantasy. Oba vonja se začneta z zelo sadno noto. Midnight Fantasy je veliko bolj sladek in saden, med tem ko je Outspoken Party bolj sofisticirana lesna verzija. Nikakor ne pravim, da sta obe dišavi zamenljivi ali da sta si zelo podobni, ampak obe spadata v to sladko sadno skupino dišav. Čeprav je Outspoke Party bolj sofisticirana zaradi lesne podlage.

Outspoken Party je prav tako manj močan vonj. Ima kar dobro obstojnost, ampak je bolj kot ne dokaj nežen vonj. Večina Avonovih parfumov se dolgo obdrži na moji koži in ta ni izjema. Seveda je to odvisno od kože do kože.

Obožujem Avonove sadno sladke vonje in tudi ta mi je zelo všeč. Je zanimiva sofisticirana lesna verzija napram mojim super sladkim sadnim vonjem iz moje kolekcije. Steklenička je čudovita in cena je zelo dostopna.

Review: Aldo Vandini Pure Eau de Parfum (White Magnolia and Cotton)

Hey Beauties!


I've once posted a photo of this perfume on my Instagram. I saw it in my local drugstore and my lovely cousin decided to buy it for me on Easter. I've hand the hand cream from this range before and when I saw I can also get a perfume, I was more than excited. 


The range is called Pure and it includes many other skin care products. Perfume is a blend of magnolia blossom, honey, rhubarb, peach, orange blossom, patchouli and vetiver. It costs 16.99€ and you get 50 ml of it (I bought it in Müller). The price is a bargain for such amount of product.

It has a nice transparent heavy glass bottle. Magnolia blossoms are printed all over the bottle. I will say I can see the top becoming loose and falling off with time. 


Regular spray pump and it disperses perfume really finely. 

The smell is simply amazing. When you spray it on it has a very sweet fruity smell, which quickly turns into a more sweet floral scent and later becomes like a comforting freshly washed clothes mixed with slight floral and woody notes. I love it. It's comforting, soft, yet kind of sweet and not too floral, because I don't like floral scents in general. It really is a unique blend that would be loved by many different people. This will be great summer fragrance, since it's not too strong or too sweet. 

I find that it lasts well. I wouldn't say it's really strong as some other scents, but I think this is also due to the scent itself, which is softer than most perfumes. I  still smell it on my skin at the end of the day, it's just not as intense, as when you spray it on. The bottle is very convenient, so you can easily carry it around and reapply it, when you need more. 


Maybe I gave you an idea on what to use in the summer. If you like blend of floral and sweet fruit, than definitely try it in the store and you may fall in love with it, like I did. The price is amazing.

Review: Essence Nail Candies nail polish in 05 Sugar pie, honey bunch

Hey Beauties!

So Essence has refreshed it's line of products and I admit I had some saved on my phone to buy as soon as I can get my hands on. Most of those hadn't come yet or were already sold out. I am also trying to (trying is the right word - it's a torture) avoid buying nail polishes, because I think I have too many of them and I don't use them as often as I should have. But, Essence new nail candies were on my list long before my nail soberness, so I bought one to try and report to you.


Now, why did I want it? Because it promises to be a 6 in 1 nail polish. How could I resist that? I don't know about you, but I love trying anything that seems to be over promising its abilities. Let's see if it lives up to the promises.

First of all the nail polishes come in a typical glass packaging with a standard brush. There's 8 ml of nail polish and costs 1.99 €. 

You can choose between 7 shades from two pink shades, peach, lavender, yellow, mint and I believe one white. I was in front of the Essence stand deciding like stupid, which one to get. I decided on the lavender shade called 05 Sugar pie, honey bunch. All the shades are pastels. Little did I know, my deciding was a waste of time. The shade is so sheer that I could have gotten any color and it would make no difference. 

The shade has very little shimmer in it and, as I've said, it's extremely sheer. I admit, I expected more color. So if you want it because of the color - it's not worth it. Here you can see how it looks like with two coats.



What about the promises?

Softly shimmer nail candies with 6 benefits for beautiful, manicured nails: hardening, protecting, ridge filling, fast drying and fruity scented with a high gloss finish.

Hardening: YES (My nails are definitely harder than without the nail polish, but don't expect anything crazy hard, unless you put on a lot of coats.)
Protecting: FROM WHAT? I don't get this one. (Of course it protects my nails from outer environment, since I have the nail polish on my nails?! Yeah, moving on...)
Ridge filling: YES (My nails are not in a good condition and the nail polished definitely filled in all the gaps that I may have on the nails - also breakage.)
Fast drying: YES (It dries really fast, BUT if you scratch the nail hard, there will be a line - top coat is still a safer option.)
Fruity scented: YES (The smell is very sweet fruity. For the love of God, do not smell the nail polish straight from the bottle or right after the application, because you will only damage your nerve system. The scent develops after drying and it starts fading after 24 hours.)
High gloss finish: YES (The finish is definitely very glossy and shiny.)

So that's what, 6 out of 6? I have to admit the defeat. I was sure these nail polishes will not live up to its promises, but they proved me wrong. The only thing I would like more is more opaque color. In fact, Essence, why not do the regular range of shades with this formula? I know, I would start buying those.

It says that it's a a beautifying nail polish. I should have known its primer job it's not coloring. So if you like all the benefits of the nail polish, I recommend, because it does what it promises. Just don't expect much from the color.
