Tocca Giulietta Rollerball Eau de Parfum Review

Last Christmas my good friend Sachie gifted me a wonderful perfume when we went shopping together back in December! I had been craving a new scent for a while, but perfume is a very luxury item so I don't pick it up too often, sadly.

Tocca caught my eye due to the packaging and it's attractive scents! It looked right up my alley so I couldn't wait to try them all out at Sephora. It's also a brand I haven't heard about, so naturally my curiosity was piqued. Their aim is to create scents that hark back to "bygone times".. it seems very romantic!

Sachie purchased the scent in Rollerball form which I was ecstatic about! They're easier to travel with and just take up less room in general. Not to mention they're cheaper! At Sephora it's only $20 whereas the full-size is around $70! It takes a while for me to go through perfume, so a smaller size might be better than the larger vanity bottle.

That being said I simply love the packaging that comes with the product! We need more of this delicate, feminine packaging, I swear! It's simple and elegant, perfect for setting on a vanity or dresser. I can't get enough of it!

The notes listed on the box: green apple, pink tulips, vanilla orchid, amber.

The scent described on Sephora: Refreshing, Feminine, Delicate.

I think Sephora nailed it in their description! To me this is the picture of femininity and grace. It's not overpowering (I would describe it as warm and soft), though it doesn't last forever. I can definitely smell the floral notes, but I think it smells a little more on the fruity side when you immediately smell it after application. I also feel that this calms me down when I smell it, so if you're looking for a pick-me-up I would look elsewhere!

Overall I would definitely recommend this! Try it out at your local Sephora and if you're interested you can read more about it on Fragrantica. Until next time!

Nina by Nina Ricci

I remember seeing the advertisement in a magazine when I was younger and actually went out of my way to go to the store to smell this fragrance. I think half of the novelty of perfumes is the bottle. I thought the apple shape was so enchanting and beautiful.. it was only a bonus that the perfume is actually one of my favourites!

I managed to get a really good price on it because there are some sellers that come set up shop at my school sometimes outside of the caf. They usually have huge discounts on some nice items! I was so happy that I found this because I know Nina Ricci's released some other fragrances and I couldn't find this particular one near where I live.

Because Sephora.com can explain the scent better than I can, I referred to their website which describes it as "combining temptation, femininity, and modernity. It's a fresh, fruity floral sprinkled with a tantalizing accord".

I think you get a good amount for what you pay for and it lasts for a good part of the day! It wasn't too strong, but I still felt a little sexy. I think it's a wonderful blend of playful and seductive scents! (plus it'll look really nice on your dresser; it looks super luxurious without being over the top.)

If this seems like something that suits you, then I would totally recommend it! If you have any of the other scents, tell me below if they're any good! I'd like to know.

Until next time!

Harajuku Lovers: Snow bunnies

I recently received this lovely fragrance from my aunt! And even though it's winter themed, I still find it super cute.

Brand: Harajuku Lovers
Name: Snow Bunnies
Smells Like: Light, floral, a little sexy

I'll start by saying how much I LOVE the packaging! Even though the bottle's cute, the packaging is what teases my eye when I go into a store. The little lacy patterns and the pretty blue and white scheme work really well to feel as if I'm buying something cute, but not too childish (at least for my tastes). Sadly I deleted the picture I had of the packaging...

The bottle itself if similar to the rest of the Harajuku line, this one featuring Gwen Stefani as the character you're buying. Her outfit is, again, cute but stylish which is nice. Now, I don't know if this comes in a bigger bottle (since it was given to me as a gift) but the quantity of the actual perfume given isn't very much compared to the doll that decorates it. Maybe it should be the other way around....?

The scent itself is very lovely! You can wear it and not have people scrunching their nose in distaste, but still feel girly and a little sexy while wearing it! It's now my favourite perfume♥

All-in-All: 4.5/5♥
I would recommend this to anyone! To some you may be put off by the cutesy appeal, but I really enjoy the scent and I find it very versatile. The only thing I would change is the amount of perfume you get! That way I won't run out as quickly haha.

I hope you enjoyed this review!
Until next time!
