As you know Dove Holiday Treats have returned with two new scents and one old favorite! The two new scents are Apple Cider Caramel and Pecan Butter Crunch and the returning scent is Dove Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie! I did pick up all three new scents and I’ll review them soon but just wanted to say if you loved Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie from last year it’ssssssssss backkkkkkkkk!
Ok, so no one sent me the memo on Clean Vanilla Cloud! How did I not know this fragrance existed? I’m not even sure when it released. But hey, I’m here for it because VANILLA…! All these vanilla perfumes are going to drain my wallet. We got Replica Afternoon Delight, Lake & Skye 11 11 Vanilla Eau de Parfum, and a few weeks ago Phlur Vanilla Skin Eau de Parfum launched. I can’t wait to see what else is coming.
Clean Classic Vanilla Cloud is a limited-edition fragrance that’s $44 for 1 oz. This contains top notes of vanilla orchid petals, bergamot zest, and aldehydes with middle notes of white freesia, dewy cyclamen, and fresh pear. It ends with vanilla, musk, and creamy sandalwood. I love it finishes with vanilla as that’s what will linger after the fragrance dries down. Knowing Clean this won’t be a gourmand but more a clean maybe even spa-like scent.
It’s been ages since I’ve purchased a Clean Perfume. They started doing the upscale Clean Reserves and those are lovely but I really thought the core collection was the best of the best. And who remembers oldies like Clean Fun Perfume Oil? Those were the days! I remember years ago when there was this massive 50% off sale on Clean Perfumes and Fun was one of the fragrances on sale and I hauled like 3 or 4 bottles. I literally used the last small amount of my roll on back in June! It was that long-lasting! I don’t think they’ve done a perfume oils since.
I’ll be checking out Clean Vanilla Cloud for sure. Anyone smell it yet? Do share!

I really want to live in a world where Bare Minerals Bare Skin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer still exists. I saw my shade on E-bay a few months ago and I was tempted to buy it but it was $55 dollars and I was a little unsure how fresh it was. But I was feeling so desperate I decided why not make an offer on it? So, I went and offered $30 bucks which was above retail price but the seller refused and said they were firm on $55. Sheesh…! People sure are out there flipping stuff for crazy prices realizing how desperate folks like I am. But I was logical and skipped it and I’m glad I did because here we are with a new Bare Minerals BarePro 16HR All Over Skin-Perfecting Matte Concealer Mineral SPF 25. Yeah, I know, Bare Skin Skin Complete Coverage was a whole other formula and finish but I have hopes that Bare Minerals BarePro 16HR All Over Skin-Perfecting Matte Concealer Mineral SPF 25. might just be something I like.
I’ve sort of been done writing off matte concealers for a very long time now. As you may know, I use concealer under my eyes only and of course, as someone with drier eyes and finer lines I do prefer a hydrating formula. But in all my years using concealer I’ve learned that hydrating means a lot less pigmented. The other thing I learned was that I can use matte concealer under my eyes if I prep really well. I’m an avid Tarte Shape Tape Concealer user and it doesn’t crease on me in the least and always looks smooth and natural. And yes, that’s totally a matte formula. Of course, it really depends as sometimes no matter how much you prep you will run into a formula or two that’s a bit too matte, too dry, and does crease into those pesky lines.
But I try anyway, because I realize not all matte formulas are the same and some are pretty great. The question is, will Bare Minerals BarePro 16HR All Over Skin-Perfecting Matte Concealer Mineral SPF 25 be one?
