I think I might have been delirious when I purchased Pink Flower by Pink Sugar ($65) Eau de Parfum blindly online the other day. You see, I hate Pink Sugar with a passion. Remember a few years ago when everyone was absolutely bananas about Pink Sugar? Please take no offense if this is your signature scent but I can’t stand it.

It’s funny because you likely know already I really, really love sweet, gourmand fragrances. But something about Pink Sugar just makes me gag. It’s a fragrance that gets caught in the back of my throat and makes me want to cough. But of course my love of great packaging got away with me and I ended up purchasing a bottle of Pink Flower simply because the bottle was adorable. Well, that’s not entirely true! I also purchased it because I had some deep hidden hope that I’d suddenly become a Pink Sugar fan girl because somehow I feel like I’m missing out.

Aquolina created this fragrance with Pink Sugar in mind and it’s supposed to be a more sophisticated sweet floral blend. Basically, it’s supposed to be a bit more floral than the original. So, take Pink Sugar, throw in a few floral notes, and you have Pink Flower.

I mean sweat? Really? A bunch of people sat around a table, brainstormed, and came up with the brand name “Sweat”! Hmmm!

For the record, I was always picked last for dodge ball and I was always the one hiding behind the gym mat hanging from the wall with my best friend John because we were apparently an easy target to bash the ball with. If he wasn’t gay I’d probably have married him as we bonded so closely behind that mat on dodge ball days.

Currently Sweat Cosmetics is on my try list though!

I’m sure oily skin girls and guys are excited about All Nighter Liquid Foundation that’s launching with the Urban Decay Fall 2016 Collection! It’s an oil absorbing formula with a matte finish that provides full coverage and all day wear. Sounds perfect for Summer (even though it’s a Fall 2016 release).
