Finishing off round #1

Here are the last reviews from my first set of Wylde Ivy scents. I say first set because I ordered another one the other day. I really enjoyed reviewing them and I always enjoy reading first hand experiences with beauty products so I thought I would give some more a try! Here is the list of the new scents that will be reviewing:

White Cashmere
Amber Chai
Violet Fluff
Violetta
Violet Sun (I like violet :))
Apple Fest
Sweet Earth
Fig Tart
Marshmallow Gingerbread
Black Tea Jasmine

Now for the reviews. First up is Chocolate Rose Creme. In this, both the rose and the white chocolate are very pronounced. Because they are equally competing with each other, it brings an additional scent out that smells like strawberry for some reason even though that isn't listed as being in the scents. Wylde Ivy describes this as smooth vanilla bean infused with elegant rose essence and encased in fine white chocolate. I don't smell any vanilla in this.

Next is Frosted Lavender. Wylde Ivy describes this as heavy cream infused with fresh lavender, whipped, and sweetened with lavender sugar for a double shot of sugared flowers. All this smells like is lavender mixed with vanilla.

Last is Deja Vu. This is a very unique scent. I'll initially describe it as another head/hippie shop scent as the main scent in this is patchouli. But rounding this off is what smells like a Christmas tree to me. Weird I know, but it works! Wylde Ivy describes this as an exotic and spicy blend of Cinnamon Leaves and Patchouli. Precious Myrrh has been added to bring depth and smoothness to the scent with its warm, earthy vanilla like scent. This is a rich unisex fragrance. I think the combo of the cinnamon and the myrrh must be making the Christmas tree scent. Whatever it is, I'll affectionately call it "The Hippie Christmas" from now on!

On to other news, I'm taking so many yoga classes now, 3 a week and soon to be 4, that I decided I needed a bag for my mat. I have to accessorize, right?! I came across this cute little thing on Etsy (of course) from Chella Bella Designs and the price even with shipping was very reasonable! My mat is chocolate brown so I thought it would match my mat really well! I just hope it fits my mat as I have kind of a thick one. She also has a lot of other cute products and yoga mat bags available so check her out!

I also ordered Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster from Amazon. They have VERY cheap used copies right now so you have no excuse not to read it. Actually the brand new copy from Amazon is only $6 right now. Basically, if you're into fashion, you need to read this book. I think it also has somewhat of an appeal for vintage lovers because it does compare how much more exclusive and chic high fashion used to be as compared to now where it's as easily accessible and as cheaply made as a Big Mac, as the cover art suggests.

Well I hope all of you lovelies have a wonderful weekend!
