Ok, RiRi You’ve Been Failing Me Lately But I’m Trusting You On This Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream

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

I got the press material for Fenty Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream yesterday and reads like this stuff is nectar from the Gods above. Seriously, true story, check out Rihanna’s quote below.

“I wanted a product that feels as amazing it looks – starting with the way it melts into your skin as you apply it and finishing with the sexy, glossy sheen it gives your skin. I�ve honestly never felt anything like this texture before – it�s rich and decadent but also has a lightweight feel on the skin that�s not sticky at all. It�s everything I ever wanted in a body moisturizer but could never get from just one product alone.” – Rihanna

Ok, let’s just take a moment here and calm down. There’s so many body lotions on the market today I have to question that part about “never felt anything like this texture before” but Riri, I trust you…if you say it’s that good I trust you!

I admit, you disappointed me on that new eye cream and the lip balm was questionable but this body butter thing I can get on board with.

Fenty Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream is a whipped oil body moisturizer that gives skin a hydrating, glossy sheen. It contains a blend of tropical oils, butters, and extracts including Kalahari melon oil, baobab oil, sunflower oil, shea butter and glycerin. It promises a non-sticky consistency that absorbs easily. It has a clean, fresh tropical fruit and floral fragrance, the same scent as Instant Reset.

Fenty Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream is $39 and it is refillable. Refills will set you back $35. It’ll be available May 5th.

Do you think it’ll be any good?

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 A Naughty Little Gourmand

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

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 has gotten some serious airtime last year and into this year on social media and across beauty blogger and influencer accounts. Although, it’s gaining popularity now it’s actually been part of MFK’s permanent catalog since 2015. The fragrance was created by Francis Kurkdjian and contains notes of jasmine, saffron, cedar wood, and ambergris. To me it plays a starring role in the Maison Francis Kurkdjian fragrance line.

I’m late a comer to my love of BR540 as I purchased my first bottle in 2018. I avoided it for a long time and never bothered smelling it because the cedar wood, ambergris, and saffron notes didn’t appeal. I felt positive it would be a spice bomb or would smell as deep and dark as Thierry Mugler’s Angel. I personally have a love hate relationship with Angel and I really have to be in some sort of mood to wear it. It’s absolutely filthy and really dark. It’s definitely one of those forbidden cotton candy scents (as is Baccarat Rouge 540 but on a way better scale).

As with most luxury fragrances Baccarat Rouge 540 doesn’t come cheap and bottles start at $300. Today is actually the last day of the cosbar.com sale and this scent is on sale so, if you’re wanting it now would be a good time to grab it. It’s also, on sale at Saks.com for 10% Off!

Baccarat Rouge 540 comes in two flavors which are Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum. Both smell the same but obviously the sillage is different and of course, the prices. Most Parfum and Extrait formulas use anywhere from 12% to 30% perfume oil. Extrait is obviously the highest level of perfume oil you’re getting. I do like the Extrait a bit more. Both smell the same but I get a bit more depth, longevity, and throw from the Extrait.

My nose is not experienced enough to detect each note here. I can’t say I smell jasmine or saffron or cedarwood, nor do I smell the darkness that comes along with ambergris.
