Review: Chanel "No. 5" Eau de Parfum


Chanel No. 5 is one of the most well-known and classic perfumes of all time.
  I got this about a year ago so I've had the time to really get to know it ;-)


  Smell

This perfume has a more grown up smell, if that makes any sense. It's more of a grown up, sensual than a young and flirty one.
  The first thing that comes to my mind is actually soap! Now, don't get me wrong, soap is not necessarily bad.
  It actually gives a really clean feeling when you put it on. I can also sense the tones of patchouli in it.
  There is a sweet touch to the clean, grownup feel.


  On the wrist

The scent doesn't really change too much after the development like some other perfumes.
  This one actually lasts for a really long time! I would say around 8 hours of course depending on climate, activity etc. but that's how I would estimate it.


  Feeling

Chanel No. 5 makes me feel more mature, it's like a sudden time machine ten years forward! ;-) No, but it does make me feel classy and confident. I've noticed how I even sit up straighter!
  It might seem silly, but I truly believe that a perfume can do a lot for your mood and spirit!


  Review

I do like this, but it's not my go-to for everyday wear.
  I feel like this scent is complicated and takes a special mood to wear, since you can't just put it on. You have to work a bit on the aura as well to get the full effect.
  Now, don't get intimidated! It's a beautiful scent, very classy, clean and sensual.

  I would give this scent a 4/5!



                       Have you tried this scent? Did you like it?


  Kisses and love with whipped cream on top! <3

Review: The Body Shop "Blue Corn 3in1 Deep Cleansing Scrub mask"

Hello!
  This is my first blog post on here so take it easy on me! ;) I will be doing some Random Facts posts or similar to start out this account, if you have any requests or questions just comment down below.



  Lately I've wanted to try something that - for me - is completely brand new and not just the same kind of products I've used for years and that does the same thing.
  Something that I've heard about and that I've wanted to try for awhile is face masks in a jar. A face mask which is not meant for only 1-2 uses but for multiple. 
  The Body Shop is usually my go-to for skincare and so I thought I'd try one of theirs first! I chose the Blue Corn kind in particular because it seemed like the one with the best reviews. 


Product info:

  The product is for Normal/Oily skin and to be used on a cleaned face (not around eyes or on lips) and stay on for about 10-15 minutes (until dry).

  Unfortuntely I'm not sure what skintype I have, but I believe it's combination or normal skintype.


The testing:

  I've only used this product once this far but I've already gotten results so I thought I'd do a review now. The masks smells nice, but not quite like corn. The smell remind me of flowers with a hint of sweetness to it. It looks light blue with darker grains (for scrubbing).

  I washed my face with water only since I didn't have any makeup on previously and then put on the mask.
My first reaction was that the mask was thicker than I had imagined. I did find it a bit hard to put on, but it wasn't at all impossible.

  After a while I felt a bit of sting that came back during short periods, but I didn't find it hurtful at all. Rather a bit like massage actually.

  I let it stay on for about 18 minutes before washing it off.
  I didn't use cotton pads to wipe it away, but used my fingers to really get full use of the scrub. It took about five minutes to get all of the grains away - but it was totally worth it.

  The result was clean and fresh skin. It looked newborn and bright! It had this inner light to it that was just amazing. I loved how it made my skin feel and look. It wasn't oily but definitely not dry. 

 As for pores it did feel like it went deep and did help with acne after one use!

 I put on a moisturizer to finish it off.


My rating:

For me the effect of the mask weighed up every single flaw that I have mentioned earlier although those "flaws" weren't too major neither.

  It gave me one of best effects that I've ever gotten from a face mask.

  I was really happy with it and I do recommend it to anyone curious to try. Although I would be careful with how often I'd use it if I had dry skin since it might dry your skin out a bit if it's used too often.


So far I give it a 4.5 / 5!  Please try it and tell me how you liked it as well! Once I'm finished with the tub I might write a new post about how many uses it lasted, long time results etc.!
