Review: Etude House Collagen Moistful Firming Eye Cream

Hey guys! I have yet another review for you! But this one is going to be really quick because I'm lazy. =3=;; This beauty was actually found through a sample I had gotten from an online purchase. 

It's the Etude House: Collagen Moistful Firming Eye Cream! c:

I picked this up at one of the Etude stores in Myeongdong when I was in Korea last summer.

PRICE: I couldn't find the recipe but I believe it's priced at 16000 won (or about $15 USD) for 25mL of product. Not too bad. But I was quite upset to find out that in the Lotte Department stores, in the duty free sections you can find it for about $10 USD? I think I remember. I just remember it was cheaper... -_- And don't worry, pretty sure for the lower brands you don't have to pick up the products at the airport. But I may be wrong so don't quote me on that. But def check out the Lotte Duty Free~ :D

CLAIMS:

"Eye cream moisturizes, tightens and protects the delicate eye area with Baobab Tree extract and Collagen to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and improve look."

Note, it's pretty nice to actually see those things in the ingredients! ;D

As you can see, it's in a tub. I normally use a clean spatula thingy to scrap some on the lid and use that.

TEXTURE: It's really more of a mixture of a cream and a gel, which is really nice for my oily-combination skin. c: It soaks in really easily, and quickly (like within seconds!) leaving your eyes really moisturized! I also use it on my laugh lines and other dry spots around the face. A nice tip, eye cream, not just for the eyes!

SCENT: I quite like this smell! It's more of a really clean, fresh, lemon-y scent! Really refreshing! But it is heavily scented, so I don't know how it will do on people with sensitivities to added fragrances.

CONCLUSION: I really like this eye cream! I know I'm only in my early 20s, but it's good to get a head start on those eye wrinkles.... Did you know women start aging at 25?! D: Freaking ridiculous, but whatever, I have my eye cream ready! >:o But because of this, I cannot really say anything about it's firming claims. But I actually think it may. This may sound weird, but when I was taking that swatch picture, the eye cream was actually making that spot tingle? So maybe working it's magic? Hehe. I don't know. BUT. I can say that it does leaves your eyes feeling nice and moisturized. I can really tell the difference when I don't put it on.... My eyes just look so much more... blah.... D:

I would definitely repurchase this product in the future. I think I've fallen for all gel-ish products! <3
This line is actually pretty good I think. I've heard a lot of good things about it!

If you didn't know, Etude House is under Innisfree and Amore Pacific in Korean Skincare (in that order: lowest -> higher end). Kinda like how Loreal is the more drugstore brand of the higher end brand Lancome. c:

First Ever Ulta Haul!!

Hi. My name is Stephanie and I'm a blush addict. D: I don't know why, but I find myself always picking up new blushes.... I think I found my favorite type of make-up. Hehe~

If you've ever been to Japan, I find that a lot of the girls just pile on the blush! Surprisingly, I really quite like that dolly look! I think that may be why I love blush so much. Because I have to pile it on. ;D

Anyway~ On to the haul!

Smashbox Blush in Flush - $24 USD (3.7g)

This was my first ever high end product that I bought for myself! Sure I've been gifted some high end stuff, or my Mommie bought me some before, but this is the first one I ever bought for myself. Milestone here. :p

A beautiful tinkled pink with silver glitter. I'd say that it's soft and finely milled, but the glitters make the texture a little harder. As I said before, I'm in love with dolly pink blushes at the moment so I had to pick this one up. I'd image it would look amazing on all you pale girls out there~! I'm not so pale, though. ;D This one was kind of an impulse buy though. I was originally going for the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush, but the saleslady pushed me to this one. I'm like the perfect customer because I get pressured into buying stuff so easily.... now I have to go back and try to pick up the Tarte blush though... ;D You'd think this one is cheaper than the Tarte one (which is $25?) but it's a lot smaller in size... -n-

NYX Cosmestics - Blushes $5.99 USD ea. (4g)

My first time at Ulta means my first time trying out NYX! I'm not much of an eye shadow person yet, so I'll start this off with more blush! ;D I'm sold already. Amazing quality for amazing price~

left to right: Rose Garden (PB26) and Mocha (PB01)

Rose Garden is a nice true hottish pink with gold glitters. Super gorgeous! Not so much of that natural look though, but that's not really what I go for. ;D Mocha is more of a Mauve-y, brownish reddish color that does give you more of a natural flush. I hear a lot of good things about this blush, which is why I decided to try it out. Let me say, this blush is so finely milled and soft it's amazing for the price! I couldn't believe how soft it was at first; however, Rose Garden is not as soft; probably because of the glitter chunks, though.

(left to right: Rose Garden, Mocha)

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 604, Milk $4.49 USD

Again, another highly raved about product that I just had to try out. 

(left to right: Rose Garden (NYX), Mocha (NYX), Flush (Smashbox), Milk (NYX))

Sorry for the change of background, my iPhone died so I was charging it when I took this, hence it's over my bed where my iPhone charger is plugged in. ;D Now you can see them all together~ I can't wait to try out flush. It's so pretty! 

 Palladio Rice Powder in Translucent - $4.99 USD (17g)

Actually, I picked this one up because I do remember my mom using this before in the past~ I don't remember if she liked it or not, but I thought I'd try it out again~ The packaging, from back in my mother's days, has since changed I believe? I wanted to try a cheaper translucent powder before I went ahead and tried some more expensive ones just to see if I liked adding that extra step in~ Probably won't use that puff though... it seems quite cheap. D:

I also picked up the Grape Seed Peel off Masque and Mint Clay Mask from Queen Helene for the fun of it (~$3.99 USD ea) so look forward to my thoughts on those!Thanks for reading!
Sheepy out~ <3

Nerdy Frames from Baby Phat

So the story goes~ my father's name is actually Phat. ;D

It's not pronounced the same way as Baby Phat though. It's not like "fat" more like "fa-at." If you get what I mean. Anyways, when I learned about the brand Baby Phat, I thought it was the most hilarious thing ever since it has my Dad's name in it. :////D Hehe. It means, high end or luxurious in whatever Asian I am.... I'm guessing Vietnamese. Sorry, Viet and Canto sound the same to me so I get confused, but it's one of those two. D:

But you don't need to know that. ;D

My new glasses are from Baby Phat. 

I picked them up from America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses since my cousin works for them so I got mine for super cheap~ ;)

They are originally priced at $129.99 for the frames only. 

What I love most about these glasses are that they have the large, nerdy black frames that I so adore. But they also have that pop of hot pink that's really spunky and cute! <3 You'd think that the pink would be a little much, but when you're wearing them, you hardly see it! It's like this small accent that just makes the frames so amazing~! <3 I was looking for larger black frames than I had originally had because the frames tended to cover my eyes. Larger frames will make your face look smaller! :D

The sides have a snake-ish/ alligator-ish pattern with the designer tag in a matte silver. I'm so fashionable. ;D

Hehehe~ I kid~ ;D

Here's how they look on me:

Up close:

 (hehe~ playing with le webcam on my bed when I was super bored.... D:)

Farther away:

(at fancy 21st birthday party, with my friend Janice)

You can learn more about the place I got them here: http://www.twopair.com/

ALSO. Pro tip~ make sure not to sleep with your glasses on! I'm overworked so sometimes I nap with mine on and they've since bent out of shape... they don't fit me anymore! D: I have to go them them adjusted because they're falling off every 5 seconds... yea, just fyi. :(

Sheepy out~ <3

Fall Song Recommendations!

Yo! Waddup~
Exam time is still going on, and now I have a bunch of papers to write.... but I'd rather write this quick post. c: I've been obsessed with these few songs lately, and I just thought I'd spread their amazingness. I've been hauling like an insane shopaholic lately (seriously man, I think I need help D:) but what can I say? Retail therapy is what I do to destress during exam time.... Just not so good on my wallet. :( But expect a new hauling blog post later! I might split it up into clothes + makeup + shoes though~ Liek OMG shoes. <3

I'll rank these from my favorite to lesser favorite! With my own interpretation! c:

1. Huh Gak + Zia - I Need You
A song about a two people who secretly like each other, but too scared too confess. Perfect to describe me.... but I'm still too scared to ever confess.... but I really love this song. Very relatable for this little sheep. ;A; Huh Gak and Zia are amazing singers, and I love their voices. Best song ever. <3 <3 <3

2. G-Dragon - Light it Up
Such a catchy song! I, personally, am a huge fan of Epik High and Tablo~! No offense, but Dok2 really ruins the flow of the song.... :/ But GD's voice is just so sexy in this song~ <3 Sorry, but everyone normally speeds up the song so that Youtube doesn't immediately remove it, so this is the only normal one I found. :<
But yea, love the song~ <3

3. Kyamu Kyamu - Candy Candy
A super fun song about candy! Not too much meaning to this song.... but its really catchy~ <3 Anyways! Just my little rant of the day, but WTF is it me or are Koreans getting WAYYY to full of themselves? Yes I love Korea and its culture/ fashion/ music but omg they are just too much these days! ALL of my Korean friends (seriously, all of them.....), keep talking about how Koreans are the most beautiful Asians, how they are the so rich... overall, how Korea is just the best. I agree Korea is getting up there (but sorry, I think Japanese are prettier, China is higher, and Singapore is richer), and now Psy - Gangnam Style has really boosted their self esteem, but loving Korea is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR BASHING ANOTHER ETHNICITY.  HAVE SOME AMERICAN PRIDE PLEASE. They were raised/ have USA citizenship please. But seriously, just the way they go on is a little much. :/ Especially in front of a CHINESE person, it's really putting me down you know?... sorry, I won't rant too much... :< Still love Korea though! Don't get me wrong, I still want to have G-Dragon's babies~ <333333

4. FT Island - I Wish
Who doesn't love this song?! So catchy~ And again, very relatable for me. >< Why do I fail at love?! D: I suck.... T_____T Anywho, FT Island is really love for me. My other favorites by them are Bad Woman and I hope~ <3 Ps. Does anyone else think that HongKi makes some pretty funny faces in this video? ;D Hehe so cute~ <3

5. Cotton Candy - Goodbye Prince
I just find this music video and song SO AMAZING! The visuals are just so pretty, I can't get over it, even though this song is pretty old. I don't think this band too popular, but it's a really soothing song. I love just blasting this song when I'm having a bad day or something. :/ This band needs a lot more love. Her vocals are so talented!

Hehe. Admit it! I have good taste in music! ;D Please realize that these are only FIVE out of the copious amounts of music I listen to. Truthfully, I listen to wayyyy too much music. I just find it as an outlet to stress and a getaway from the real world. My escape from reality~ <3 I'm totally the type of person to just turn up my headphones way too loud, ignore everyone around me, and have my own special party inside my head. Who cares what others think. This is me. This is what I love. Love it or hate it, I need my music~ <3

Peace out guys~ <3

Yeswalker: Shoe Review

Why hello there m'dear! c:<3
I just got these in the mail so I thought I'd do a mini review on ordering from this website. I have ordered from their affiliate, Yesstyle before (which got mixed reviews....), so I thought I'd give it a try ordering from Yeswalker. Plus, they were having an amazing sale. :p

I ordered a single pair of shoes.
White ballet flats, with an ankle strap, by 59 Seconds.
They were originally priced for about $20, but were on sale for $16.00 USD.
We also got a $10 off coupon since it was a new site opening sale (no minimum purchase + free standard US shipping) so I ended up paying only $6.00 USD for these flats! <3
....
Sorry I tried to find the link to them, but I guess they're sold out. :(
Good news! I found the matching flats in black!
http://www.yesstyle.com/en/59-seconds-ankle-strap-flats-black-size-43/info.html/pid.1030940433

59 Seconds is a HONG KONG brand.

Hope you don't mind the white accents. I was trying to cover up my ugly, messy background. LOL. You should see what else was out of frame. Like a tornado hit my room..... >< 

The filter used for these was the sweety effect from Camera360 on le iphone.

SIZING: I ordered mine in a size 36 (or 5.5 US size). Usually, I go between a size 5.5 to size 6 shoe. For these shoes, I really didn't want shoes that were too big because I had gone through many size 6 flats that seemed fine at first, but then stretched out with time, and are now huge on me. ;( So I just got the size 5.5; HOWEVER. These shoes seem to run a tiny bit SMALL. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND SIZING UP A HALF SIZE, FOR NOW, SINCE THE MATERIAL DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH GIVE ON THEM IF YOU ARE BETWEEN SIZES LIKE ME.


COMFORT: (3/5) Comfort wise, these are manageable. They aren't super comfy, but they don't make me want to chop off my feet. There is not much comfortable padding on the inside of the shoes. It seems quite stiff as of now. Just need to break them in, and they should be fine. I wore them out today, and they didn't seem to rub against my ankles at all! I don't think I'll be having too much trouble with blisters with these shoes! Yay!! c: I just hate those shoes that have a really hard bad part and leave huge blisters because they rub against your ankles! Not fun :(


STYLE: (4/5) Ok. Now to the real pictures of these shoes! I just think that they are super, adorable. The ankle strap may make putting the shoes on/ taking them off harder, but they make it easier keep your shoes from slipping off your feet. I don't know about you, but because of my kankles, my feet are always slipping out of some of my shoes! Really annoying! But that's what I love these ankle straps for. <3

Ankle straps are also very in style this year, as well! They give off a more cute, innocent look, which is totally my look on most days. Switch it up :p

 (Sorry my nails are so gross, its exam time for us college kids and I pick at them when I'm stressed... anyone else do that?

I tried to cover it up with a bow..... ><;;)

These shoes have a rounded tip and bend upwards a little at the toe area to make them easier to walk in/ better fit your feet. The accents on the strap are a silver tone, making it a more casual shoe. Also, I didn't realize that the shoes were kind of scrunchy when I purchased them. I'm not to fond of those types of shoes, but I guess once you put it on, you can't notice it, so it's ok? :/

QUALITY:  (2/5) As you can see, quality-wise, these were made pretty cheaply. Definitely won't last you more than a year I would think. Look at those glue lines! Terrible! D:

Even though the glue on the heel may be super bad, the actual stitching of the shoe doesn't seem to be too uneven so that gets a check from me. 

MATERIAL: (2/5) The material seems to be made of some polyurethane material made out to look a little like fake leather. To be honest, it does feel a little cheap, but nothing I can't work with. I wouldn't want to get these shoes wet, though.

PACKAGING/ SHIPMENT FROM YESWALKER: (4.5/5) Ok~ so for my review of the Yeswalker shoe site. I appreciate their sale at least. When I got the box, it was shipped from China and was wrapped in a water-resistant bag, which was nice. Inside the bag was the shoe box (seen in the previous pictures) with the logo Yeswalker written on it. I thought that was nice, but it would have been nicer to get the shoe box from the actual company who made the shoe. There was literally no information about the shoes themselves in the box. I guess maybe since they were cheaper shoes, they don't come with that box? But it would have been nice. :<

Inside the shoe box, you found the shoes (in the gray bag seen below), wrapped in a single layer of tissue paper. Then there was the shoe bag (which I really like!! Being a college kid, we are forced to take a gym class (wtf right? D:) so I have to bring my shoes with me to gym some days. Now I have this bag to put my gym shoes in! Yay! I was just using an old cross country backpack... ><) with the shoes inside. What was nice about the bag was that there is actually separate compartments for your left/right shoes so that they don't get damaged during shipment! How nice right?! :D To quote Singaporeans, how atas! <3 As far as I could tell, they packaged the shoes really well! c:

Shipping took about 11 days to get to me (I ordered on the 10th, the item shipped on the 11th, and I received the package on the 21st.) Not bad considering that it came from China!

 

There was also my invoice with the shoe number and a little card about how they do quality control on the shoes. I wonder what the shoes that don't pass look like.... -3-;; I guess it was a nice touch.

COUPON CODE: If you want to get your own shoes, please feel free to use the coupon code: OPENINGUS10 It shouldn't expire until 9/30/12~! Like I said, since there is no minimum purchase necessary and free shipping, if you get like a $20 shoe, that's like half off! Not bad right~ ;D
And feel free to check out: http://www.yeswalker.com/splash.html
But make sure to check the quality pictures! I always worry buying stuff online.... but $6 flats, I don't care too much about the quality. If it were $16, then I would care more. :/

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream Review

Hello there! I'm back with another review for you guys! c:
I don't know why I'm not studying... I should be studying......... D:
Whatever c:
Let's just get to it~

My skin type: Combination/ Super oily T-zones

PRICE: This BB Cream is really hyped up, so I decided to pick it up when I was in Korea this past summer~ <3 I bought it from the Missha store for exactly 15800 won (~ $15.00 USD) for 50mL of product. Yup. I looked up the price on my receipt just for you guys =3= The price is not that bad compared to most Korea BB creams I found.

PACKAGING: If you didn't know, this is "Red BB" that so many talk about. The packaging is a sort of burnt brownish red color with a bunch of dots. Pretty cute if you ask me. The best part of it is that IT HAS A PUMP! Yay! c: It also is like part squeezy tube so you don't have to worry about losing any product! The designers went all out creating this packaging if you ask me~ <3 Genius ;D

Now if only it was pink.... :(                                          

Also! I like how they had an English slogan on the front but everything on the back is in Korean? ;D I don't know if they just wanted to market it people on a more global scale, or if its a gimmick to be cool.... But! hey! All the English seems correct to me! No Engrish for Missha. c:

Front:

Back:

COLOR: I believe like most BB Creams, there were 3 shades when I picking out my shade: 21, 23, 25. I think that they may have added a new darker shade, 27 to the mix though! c: For me, I'm not really tan or pale, so I picked no. 23 as my perfect color! Here's a swatch:

I don't know if you can tell, but this BB cream does have a WARM undertone when blended; HOWEVER, when blending it out, you can see some REDISH undertones. In my opinion, they go away once the BB cream sets, though, so you don't have to worry about that. Also, I don't notice any gray tones in this BB cream like some BB creams tend to have.

CONSISTENCY: This is a THICK BB cream. It is a little bit thicker than I would like, so it takes a little bit more to blend it out. It's definitely not watery at all, so thicker than your normal tinted moisturizer. I think it may have something to do with the high SPF though? Kinda because the consistency reminds me of my ol Sun screen? Maybe? o:

COVERAGE: 

Let's test this out together~

As you can see, I'm having breakouts on my forehead (hormonal) and I have a bunch of acne scars on the sides of my face.

After 1 layer: (I apply with my fingers, then pat in with a flat-top foundation brush)

From this shot, you can clearly see that this BB cream is a little lighter than my actual skin tone in the summer (but it may better match for the winter when I'm not tan.) I actually don't mind this because I normally use a setting powder to even out my skin tone and reduce my oiliness because I am Oily/Combination skin type. I normally don't like to wear too much make-up, so this here is 2 pumps of the size before (or one big pump) and a single layer on my skin.

Obviously, my huge disgusting acne is still visible, but at least the redness if gone. Helps camouflage it more. A lot better than that previous picture of that huge thing no? D: The coverage is build-able, but I'd prefer to use a concealer for those trouble spots instead of building up over those areas. Especially because this is a thicker BB cream, it may look too cakey if you go past 2 layers + powdering.

As you can see, it also helps make my pores look smaller without a primer! Yay! :'D 

Because of all of this, I'd rate this light-medium coverage. But more of a medium coverage. And definitely buildable to get full coverage, but only use 2 layers. More may be a little much. 

LASTING POWER: I have found that on me, if I set in the morning, the BB cream will last all day, as long as I don't touch my face; however, I'm always seem to be touching my face.... so it does rub off a bit throughout the day, but it doesn't look splotchy or anything. I also don't touch up during the day. Therefore, for me, being the lazy person I am, and having tried this during the summer, I think that this BB cream lasts around 4-6 hours before it rubs all away. Thankfully, you definitely don't get that feeling that it will melt off your face in the heat. It stands up pretty well against heat/ sweat. c:

OVERALL: (4/5) Overall, I think that I would purchase this BB cream again. It provides a nice coverage without concealer or a primer. The color range is ok for most Asian skin types, and the color fits me well with a nice brightening effect. I also like the high SPF rating (42) because I'm addicted to sun screen. I'm just really worried about my ugly sun spots/ acne scars getting darker. But as a down side to that, the BB cream does have a thicker consistency which may feel heavy on the skin until it sinks in (but I can't really feel it after it sinks in and I powder, but its definitely not a "second skin" type thing). For my oily skin, it gives off a natural, almost matte finish. I quite like the finish. c: So yea. Hope this helped! :'D


Edit: I really like to use this BB cream in the winter time because it is more moisturizing (because it is a thicker BB cream) so it goes on more smoothly for my skin. Since my skin gets drier in the winter, I have to be careful with what I put on my face, otherwise, it will look patchy and flake-y-ish. The color match is almost perfect in the winter as well.

You can purchase this BB cream online (ebay?) or at your local Missha store if you like in Korea~ c:<3
Sheepy out~ :p

Coach Poppy Blossom Perfume Review

Hey guys!!! I just wanted to do this little quick review for you guys! <3

I just picked this perfume up maybe 2 weeks ago. Let me say now, I have been wearing it everyday, and I really love it! It's the new limited edition perfume from Coach: Poppy Blossom Perfume.

I bought the biggest size I could, which is sadly only 1.7oz. I don't know why they don't make the 3.4 oz like most perfumes have... maybe because it's limited edition....? But that's kinda sad... :(

EDIT:: I CHECKED ULTA AND APPARENTLY THEY SELL THE 3.4OZ SIZE FOR $85 BEFORE TAX! Still can only buy the 1.7 oz size on Coach or Sephora though? What's up with that? I still don't understand...

Ok! On to the review~!

PRICE: $65.00 USD (or $70.04 with tax in Ohio, Dillards)
The nice ladies gave a ton of other perfume samples as well as a lotion of pureDKNY. Don't be afraid to ask for samples as well! Perfume is something that YOU HAVE TO LET SIT ON YOUR SKIN BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE IT. IT WILL SMELL DIFFERENT WITH TIME, AND IT WILL CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE PERSON. Everyone gives off a little bit different of a body temp or different chemcials (lol pheromones anyone?) so the scent will differ from person to person. It will interact with our skin differently is what I'm trying to say, so it's best to try out the scent on your skin for maybe 10-15 minutes before going ahead to purchase it. In my honest opinion, perfume IS expensive, so make sure you try it out it before you buy it. That's what samples are good for. You can try it out without having to try them all on your skin all at once, which might not smell too good in the end lol ;D

CLAIMS:

"COACH Poppy Blossom, an irresistible scent that embraces the many colorful characteristics of the COACH Poppy woman. 
This sparkling, fruity floral fragrance blooms by combining the vivacious energy of COACH Poppy and the floral femininity of COACH Poppy Flower for a fun and playful scent that celebrates the many colorful facets of the COACH Poppy woman. 
The wearer is whimsical, modern, and subtly sophisticated. Her exhilarating personality lights up the room like a ray of sunshine. 
Notes:Lychee, Mara Strawberry, Freesia, Mandarin, Muguet, Rose Centifolia, Tuberose Fleur, Jasmine Sambac, Gardenia, Praline, Vanilla, Blonde Woods, Musk. Style:Feminine. Sophisticated. Modern."

REVIEW

SCENT: (5/5) Heehee. I really like the fufu way that advertisers write product descriptions.... ;D In my opinion, this scent really is more of a fresh, mature scent (perfect for this college girl ;) ) I definitely wouldn't recommend it for anyone under the age of 20, unless they're just too mature for their age.... :p The earthy/ musky undernotes in the scent really give it that sense of age, not like the bubbly, fruity, super sweet scent I imagine younger kids like. You can definitely smell the lychee and the mandarin orange in the scent though, and with time, the base note, vanilla, really becomes the star of the concoction. The lychee is super apparent when you first spray it. It's one of the main notes in the beginning. But the combination with the orange is what really makes it such a nice, fresh, bright smell. Not too sweet, but you get just the smallest hint of sweet from the fruity extracts that they used. I super love the Mandarin orange notes in it. It is definitely a winning touch that I don't find much in most perfumes. It's the perfect day scent that I was searching for! It is a super nice scent for summer, and I think the vanilla notes will make it good for fall and spring as well! I don't know if it'll be a good for winter though. Hehe. I guess I'll just have to buy another perfume for that. ;D

Also. Make sure you try this one out on your skin! When my friend and I were all up in Dillards trying out all of their perfumes (did anyone see the new Meow by Katy Perry? It's really sweet, but the bottle is super cute! Also super love the vanilla base notes.... anything with vanilla seems to win me over... -coughcough- Dior Hypnotic Poison....) we tried it out on the little card thing first, and it didn't smell too amazing... but on the skin... OMG so much better! <3

PACKAGE: (4.5/5) The bottle is just like all of the other Coach poppy perfumes except that it has a super huge orange flower instead of a tiny bow as the accent on the lid. As most others accents on perfumes, the orange bow is attached by an orange elastic band, which kinda looks cheap... but it's not too noticeable, so its ok.The lid itself is a gold color and its embossed with various ways that they write "Coach." It's a classy, chic design in my opinion. Not too over the top, but still really feminine and cute. c: The lid has a snap closure as well. It's really secure so you don't need to worry about the lid coming off or anything. c:

OVERALL: (5/5) Like I said, I truly love this perfume. It's sad I didn't discover it earlier because I would have worn it all summer. The best part about this perfume is that it last ALL DAY on me! OMG YAY! This is the first perfume (other than Hypnotic Poison) that really lasts on me. Normally, I would have to spray a ton on me and it would still last maybe only 2-3 hours. Seriously. It was sad :( But this one, I can keep smelling on me for quite a long time. That made this perfume all the better for me. I know this is kinda like a rave, but liek seriously, best. perfume. ever. Well for summer... and for daytime... Now to find the perfect perfume for winter/ fall and one for nighttime! ;D

Yes, I would totally recommend this perfume to all you older, mature ladies out there. ;) <3
