Fragrance

Ooh, I loves me some Mariah…

I like her *almost* as much as I like Nutella. Nevermind the wardrobe disasters, Nick Cannon, or even Glitter. I’ve been a fan of hers for almost 20 years, and I still get psyched when she comes out with a new song, or in this case a new perfume.

Are you ready to wrap up the weekend with a giveaway? 🙂

The prize

One lucky lady will win a bottle of Mariah’s new Forever Eau de Parfum (a $55 value).

Got room for a sensual feminine floral on your dresser? How ’bout one with notes of gardenia, tuberose and musk? Mariah says it’s like a dash of Hollywood glamour, ooh la la!

How to enter…

Entering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post. In it, tell me about the last time you felt glamorous.

It was my last trip to the salon to get my hair did. The stylist blew it out, and I felt ready for the red carpet (or the beige carpet at home, ha!).

I do it a lot, like when I’m just puttering around the house (scents can also be great sources of inspiration). I’ve even been known to spritz on a perfume or body splash to browse the web, LOL!

Today I wore Euphoria by Calvin Klein Eau de Toilette, $55.

P.S. From now through December 31, Macy’s is giving a complimentary box of Lake Champlain Chocolates with the purchase of any 3.4-oz Euphoria fragrance, nom nom nom!

The giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted. Please check the home page for current giveaways.

For the holidays, our girl Gwen Stefani decided to give her Harajuku Lovers fragrances a makeover, dressing G, Love, Lil’ Angel, Music and Baby in limited-edition Snow Bunny outfits.

With button-up winter coats, scarves and mittens (awww!), the girls look ready to strut their winter stuff!

The outfits are different, but the scents remain the same:

• G: A blend of coconut, apple, mandarin, freesia and sandalwood notes
• Love: A sensual floral with bergamot (a citrus fruit), peach, jasmine and musk
• Lil’ Angel: A fruity floral with raspberry, pineapple rose and amber
• Music: A delicate floral with clementine, pear, sweet pea and vanilla
• Baby: A powdery scent with freesia, rose, musk and violet

Can you picture ALL FIVE Harajuku Lovers Snow Bunnies posing on your dresser? So cute!

Methinks it’s time for a giveaway! 🙂

The prize

One lucky lady will win all five Harajuku Lovers Snow Bunnies fragrances: G (pictured at top), Love, Lil’ Angel, Music and Baby (a $150 value).

It’s gotta be my puffy black jacket with the faux fur hood. It makes me look like the Michelin Man, but I don’t care. That sucker keeps me warm!

I owe it all to Britney…

It was her original Fantasy perfume that first got me excited about celebrity fragrances. I think it was around 2007, and I remember being totally *bedazzled* by the bottle.

To go out with a bang, today’s installment of 10 Days of Giveaways (the last in the current series) features another Britney fragrance with an equally bedazzling bottle.

The prize

One lucky lady will take home a bottle of Hidden Fantasy by Britney Spears (a $45 value).

Inside this bejeweled flacon lives a fruity floral with notes of orange, tangerine, lily, jasmine, clove, vanilla and sandalwood.

Tough! It’s a toss up, I guess, between Toxic and Slave For You.
