Fragrant Friday - Paco Rabanne Fame

Paco Rabanne introduces a new fragrance for the woman that is  playful, sensual and empowered:

 

Paco Rabanne Fame - 50ml EDP - $122, 80ml EDP - $158, 200ml EDP - $212, 200ml Body Lotion - $54 - an irresistible floral, woody musk fragrance with top notes of mango and bergamot; heart notes of jasmine and incense; and base notes of sandalwood and vanilla that  combined radiate joy and audacious sensuality. Made in France of 90% natural origin and 100% crafted in Grasse from sustainable ingredients.

The scent is fresh and spicy from the combination of the mango and incense which is what I smell the most on me to start with and then it dries down to really get the sandalwood and vanilla creaminess - a lovely fragrance for fall!

 

The avant-garde bottle is of course all kinds of adorable - from the dress of silver pastilles to the cat's-eye sunglasses to the edgy piercings - like jewelry for your dressing table!

 

Available now at Hudson's Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sephora, Jean Coutu and Nordstrom stores across Canada.

There's also a commercial to love starring Elle Fanning - and of course you'll never guess what the song it uses is...

This week I'm obsessed with... Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Perfecting Lip Sugar Scrub & Quo Beauty Lip + Cheek Stick!

I have to say, masking sure was great for hiding sins of the mouth such as dry, flaky lips! Now that there is less masking going on and lips are on full display there is a delicious way to solve that problem at least:

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Perfecting Lip Sugar Scrub - 14.2g - $13.99 - buff, smooth and nourishes dry flaky lips with a formula that contains a sweet blend of upcycled pomegranate seeds - to fight free radicals and exfoliate; sugarcane infused with naturals AHAs polishes away dull, dry surface cells to reveal youthful texture; and organic rosehip oil Alpine Rose Stem Cells help boost vitality and longevity of the lips sensitive surface - for a polished and soft look and a perfect pout.

Available online at andalou.com and amazon.com.

Perfectly smooth lips means that colour will go on evenly and last longer so a great lipstick is now in order such as:

 

Quo Beauty Lip + Cheek Stick in Fantasea - $14 - infused with golden seaweed & algae extract, use on cheek or lips or both to create a soft, fresh-faced look. Housed in a stick applicator made from 45% Ocean Works materials to help you feel and look good while helping remove plastic from the ocean!

 

Part of the Quo Beauty summer collection that you can still find it online at beauty.shoppersdrugmart.ca and in Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada - it also comes in Sail Away - a perfect coral shade that works for just about everyone!
