You can bath in Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanilla Exteme even hose yourself down with it but it never lasts! Le sigh! But that's ok, the short life is worth it for that delicious cake batter scent! #fragrance #perfume #fumes #fragranceoftheday #ComptoirSudPacifique #vanilla #vanillaperfume #desserts #ismellpretty

So I kinda sorta stole this the idea for the #ISmellPretty Movement from my friend Paris from My Women Stuff. She started sharing her packed lunches on Instagram and using hashtag #pbmademepacklunch. Her idea was not only to share food pr0n (I like to take pictures of my food so I’m so into viewing food pictures that others take) but also to inspire others share their lunches and also to pack healthier lunches and save money in the process.

I loved how her reader’s started using the hashtag to share their packed lunches! She just started a really fun little movement on Instagram that her reader’s and fellow foodies could use to communicate and share.

I kinda started sharing my daily fragrance choices on Instagram but I haven’t done so in a while. I’m really passionate about fragrance probably sometimes more than makeup. I have a very vast (and disgustingly expensive) collection of European perfumes, high end fragrances, and many, many indie brands perfume and perfume oils from places like Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and Love Potion Magickal Perfumerie.

So…

I propose a fun little project and I hope you’ll maybe join in it with me.

I’d love to implement the #ISmellPretty hashtag across Twitter and Instagram. Tell me what fragrance you’re wearing today, tell me what it smells like, introduce me to something new, or some old favorite and use hashtag #ISmellPretty. If you can maybe Instagram a photo of the bottle (pictures are always fun) too that would be awesome!

I’ll be doing this daily from now on in the hopes I might introduce you to some unique, possibly obscure, and fun fragrances!

I’m really, really excited to see your fragrance choices and maybe you can introduce me to something new or tempt me to try out something I’ve never smelled before!

And hopefully I’ll inspire you to try out something new too!

The Lancome Auda[City] in Paris Eyeshadow Palette ($68) is a new 16 pan eyeshadow palette that released with the Lancome Fall 2015 Collection. This is very, very interesting palette for Lancome in my opinion as it holds such a wide variety of shades in one place. In all my years as a makeup lover and collector I can’t say I remember Lancome offering such a large palette like this.

I also think the Lancome Auda[City] in Paris Eyeshadow Palette is a testimony to Lancome’s evolution. Lancome has always been a name known and trusted by many makeup lovers but I also think it’s a brand that we commonly associate with a range of more mature makeup. In recent years, Lancome has reinvented itself and become more of a brand that is appealing to both older and younger demographics with many exciting, new, and innovative launches.

This year you’ll like notice that East Meets West in a lot of launches from Lancome and other brands. There’s a Korean beauty flair to many products launching across the board and as a lover of Korean and Japanese makeup products for many, many years I’m excited to see how Asian beauty is influencing some of my favorite brands like Lancome for example.

But I digress, because what the Lancome Auda[City] in Paris Eyeshadow Palette truly is about the minimal and simple approach to makeup that every Parisian embraces. Simple is sometimes incredible especially when you have sixteen shades of nude, natural, and neutral shades to create your flawless, natural eye look with.

Let’s take a look at the Lancome Auda[City] in Paris Eyeshadow Palette and get that look!
