Ahhh Chloe Love Story Eau de Parfum! A most fitting fragrance today as I’m feeling a little lovie! We all have those dreams of happily ever after, those fantasies of the perfect love story, could be the Prince on his white steed come to whisk you away to a land far, far away. As for me, my fantasies include a mad man in a little blue box. Or, at the very least, some dorky guy like myself who I can enjoy the simple things with even if he can’t travel through all of time and space, I’ll settle!

Chloe Love Story Eau de Parfum brings together romantic florals with seductive fresh notes to create a timeless fragrance that evokes love, romance, and little blue boxes.

Chloe Love Story joined the house of Chloe earlier this Fall and is inspired by love padlocks on the bridge of Pont des Arts. This inspiration translates to the bottle itself which is a cut crystal square shape that has a lock like topper.

The face of the perfume is French actress Clémence Poésy aka Fleur Delacour for the Potterheads out there.

Let’s take a look at this fine fragrance and see what the scoop is!

I had an early morning tea and cronut session with my best friend this morning. People, my life is so complicated right now, I needed that cronut today, don’t judge 🙂 I had no guilt as I inhaled it delicately nibbled on it.

I was rushing a little this morning and I kinda did one of those quick slap on the lipstick application things and headed quickly out the door. A 5 block walk later had me sliding into a booth and sitting down for that most delicious cronut and my friend grinning at me rather hugely. It was one of those smirky “I know a secret smiles”. So I did a little shifty eye look at him and was like, “What?! What happened?” And he sat there silently shaking his head. I had to look behind me because I thought for sure Ed McMahon was behind me with the Publisher’s Clearing House check.

So I pressed him with another, “WHAT!?” Until he revealed to me I had lipstick on my chin but it was ok because it looked cute. Yeah because lipstick on my chin is super glamorous!

Ah the life of a makeup junkie that sometimes has beauty mishaps that are terribly awkward and embarrassing! I remember as a teen reading YM Magazine and the “Say Anything” column was one of my favorite but many of the stories totally rung untrue! But as I got older I realized that some of this stuff could totally happen! I’d totally be the girl in some of those Say Anything scenarios!

I also remember some very, very interesting beauty mishaps like a reader who told me she curled her lashes, squeezed too tight, and ended up slicing some of them off! Dude!

If you’re a makeup and beauty lover you’re bound to have some mishap in your life be it funny or just down right scary.

What are some of your mishaps?

Do share them!

Where do you shop more?

Target? or the Evil Empire (aka Walmart)?

I prefer Target. I dig through the dollar bins like it’s my career because I like looking for Hello Kitty pens, pads, post its, etc…yeah so if you see some girl with her head stuck in one of those bins that would be me digging for gold.

I also prefer Target because I find the offerings a bit more classy especially the beauty ones. Walmart, mmm sure they carry the regular range of drugstore makeup and skincare offerings but Target goes a step and beyond merely drugstore makeup. They have a niche of great brands like Korea’s Laneige, Sonia Kashuk, Carol’s Daughter, etc….! Outside of Hard Candy, Walmart fails to have any true exclusives.

And let’s not get started on Target’s all star line up of fashion collaborations. When Jason Wu launched I was up until 3 AM refreshing the page and successfully nailing the White Flared Dress with black lace trim. I was not going to give that dress up without a fight. I also managed to grab the Milu tote which I cherish like the life of an unborn child.

So yeah, I’m a Target girl.

How about you?

Target?

Or the Evil Empire?

What’s your pleasure?

Maybe both?
