Moschino Toy 2 Eau de Parfum is Available Now and I’m Excited

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Moschino Toy 2 Eau de Parfum ($76-$96) arrives today after being teased across a variety of perfume websites for the last several weeks. I’m so excited! I have the original Toy and I love the scent! When I heard they were doing a new version I was over the moon. I think I originally heard about Toy 2 way back in October and have been patiently awaiting its release.

This new edition has focuses on tart green apple notes and orange combined with delicate, feminine floral notes and added richness comes from amber wood and sandalwood.

  • Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Granny Smith Apple
  • Middle Notes: Magnolia, Jasmine Petals, Peony, White Currant
  • Bottom Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Ambery Woods

The original Toy Perfume smells like sultry coconut to me! Toy 2 sounds a bit more playful and Spring-like! I hope it has the warmth of the original!

I’m also pretty excited they changed the packaging of the bottle. The original bottle was housed in an actual stuffed bear. This new version comes in a bear-shaped glass flacon. The original was cute but awkward as hell to spray and also to store!

Moschino Toy 2 Eau de Parfum is available now. I’ll be purchasing it right away!

How about you?

E.L.F. Poreless Putty Primer Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.
5 stars out of 5

E.L.F. Poreless Putty Primer ($8) is a new solid facial primer being hauled as Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer which actually didn’t have me excited. Why? Because I’m one of the few people that really didn’t like Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer.

I understand the excitement though considering Tatcha’s version is $52 and E.L.F’s is $8 (and a smidge bigger too by the way). I mean if you love Tatcha’s formula why wouldn’t you want an $8 version to save yourself some major cash not to mention if you simply can’t afford $52 bucks or can’t see yourself spending that much on a primer why wouldn’t you want a budget option?

Makeup dupes are fairly common in the beauty world and E.L.F.’s always been on point creating cheaper version of the hottest and newest makeup releases. Although, at the moment it’s a controversial topic and many brands are snapping back at brands that aren’t creating dupes so much anymore but out and out copies of products.

Anyway, off the topic of makeup dupes I’m sure you’ll want to know how I felt about Poreless Putty Primer.

My review is below.

If They Made a Styling Barbie Head In Your Likeness What Makeup Would You Want It To Come With?

Over the years there have been a variety of different super-size Barbie’s heads that Mattel has introduced and had me lusting after a child. What wasn’t to love about a big old Barbie head that came with a bunch of makeup and hair accessories? You could style her hair (or completely cut it off! That did happen once!) anyway you wanted and apply heavy blush to the apples of her cheeks without remorse or guilt. It was a total win situation. I do blame Styling Barbie for my own heavy handed makeup mishaps though! I think my devil may care attitude of applying heavy purple eyeshadow and ten or more layers of apple red blush to her cheeks at age eight was what acted to develop my own makeup application and skills. I’ve been known to go around with clown cheeks on more than one occasional I’m comfortable to admitting.

What if Mattel called you tomorrow and said they wanted to create one of those Barbie head’s in your likeness? What sort of makeup would you want it to come with?
