For the first time ever, FragranceNet.com is exclusively launching the brand new “Carmen Electra” fragrance—a sexy and playful fragrance with a seductive trail meant to stop any man in his tracks.

The brand new fragrance opens with a cocktail of Juicy Mandarin, Peach Nectar and Wild Blackberry before falling onto a bed of Gardenia Petals, Night Blooming Jasmine and Tiger Orchid. Carmen Electra describes her fragrance as “Edgy and different than anything else that is out there—love my red lips on the bottle I think they are adorable, the leopard ears covering the eyes of the bottle I think are absolutely sexy.”

It’s no surprise, the gourmand dry down is seductively enhanced by the Liquid Caramel and enveloped with Creamy Sandalwood, Warm Amber and Sensual Muskgiving this enticing scent an addictive long lasting impression.

Our Thoughts

This is a really sexy bottle of perfume. It is rather large too, I didn't think it was going to be that big but it's as tall as my coffee cup. The box was easy to open and I like to keep the box to store  it. The leopard print is so cute going around the box and I love how the bottle looks like a kitty cat. My oldest daughter is obsessed with cats and she asks to wear this perfume all the time simply because of it's shape. The bottle is heavy glass, well-made, not the cheap plastic spray bottle type. It takes two-three squirts of perfume for it to last all day. My husband really loves it too!

The scent is very floral and I love floral scents so that is a bonus. Every girl needs a good perfume or body spray and this is one that actually stays. I have a hard time picking out perfume because it wears off after an hour or so and I am not in the fashion of carrying around girly products with me. I have three kids, I carry toys, diapers and wipes. This Carmen Electra fragrance stays ON, however, and I don't have to reapply a million times a day.

Perfect gift for a significant other, best girly friend, teenage daughter or any lady in your life! Holiday shopping just got a little bit easier with Carmen Electra's Fragrance!

My Thoughts

I've always been very particular when it comes to perfumes. I can't take anything with a heavy scent and I don't want to smell like a grandma. Essence of Beauty is perfect for me. They are more like a body spritz than perfume because they are so light and airy.  Spritzing them onto your skin is a refreshing treat, especially on a hot day. They spray on evenly, dry quickly, and never stain your clothes. I was able to try out the four new scents--Modern Floral, Exotic Blooms, Sunset Fling, and In Your Arms. I enjoyed them all so much, it's impossible to pick a favorite. They are all  unique with fresh scents that make you think of summer walks each time you use them. They also bridge the generation gap because my teenage daughter loves them just as much as I do. She even stole a few bottles for herself.

Essence of Beauty offers several advantages over other perfumes, at least for me. In my little town, there are no department stores where I can purchase fancy fragrances. I would have to drive an hour away. With Essence of Beauty, I can pick up a bottle at my local CVS, which is literally two blocks from my house.  Even more impressive is the price! $6.99 a bottle? That is almost insane for the amount of product you're getting. One bottle should last for months, even if you reapply several times a day.

Overall, I am extremely impressed with the quality and huge fragrance selections available from Essence of Beauty. There are so many difference choices, each person is sure to find the scent that's perfect for them. Be sure to check them out the next time you're in CVS or head over to their website to view the full line.

More than Rubies ScentStix Review & #Giveaway

I've never been a fan of bottled perfumes. Most of them are too overpowering for my taste and come in varieties  that make my nose feel stuffy. Normally, if I wanted to smell sweet I'd turn to essential oils, which are still great, but now I found something I like even better. ScentiStix from More Than Rubies offer a unique form of perfume. Made with natural ingredients like soy wax and almond oil, these vegan friendly products come in fabulous scents in a fun stick form.

ScentStix are available in tons of varieties but the ones I tried are Sugar Rush, Valentine, Vanilla Fire, and Wishful. All of these come from their "Delicious" category, but there are many other options like fruity, elegant, floral and more. With so many choices there's definitely something for everyone.  When it's time to apply the perfume, it works the same way as a lipstick tube. Remove the cap, roll it up, and apply to your neck, wrists, or anywhere else you need a little fragrance. It rolls on smoothly without making your skin feel greasy and leaves behind a silky sensation. The aroma that comes from this little stick is really amazing. It lingers all day without being so overpowering that people need to cover their nose if they get too close.  The compact size of the sticks makes them convenient to store in handbags or even pockets in case you want to reapply during the day. They are definitely addicting and if you try them once, you'll have a hard time going back to messy sprays.

In addition to their ScentStix, More than Rubies also carries a full line of other deliciously scented bath and body products including lotions, oils, lip cakes and more. All of their products are extremely affordable, especially considering the high quality of the ingredients. As an added bonus, these vegan-friendly perfumes are not tested on animals. If you're looking for a unique and natural beauty alternatives, More Than Rubies is a wonderful shop to visit!

Holiday Gift Guide: Music to my Nose

**This product was received free in exchange for an honest review.**

About:

Lauren Loesner, 17 yr. old High School Film Student/Musician/Entrepreneur creates Music inspired Perfume Company with a passion for giving back.

Her idea was simple. She often wondered if music were to have a scent what would it be?  Her quest began in search of musically inspired perfume that depicted the feeling and emotion of music and it simply did not exist in the marketplace. So, in typical “Lauren like fashion” she had the idea to create music inspired perfume herself. She brought this idea to her parents and together they thought the idea was fabulous!

Lauren and her family quickly realized that creating perfume was much like creating a song or a musical score. Perfume is comprised of notes to achieve a certain scent starting with base, then middle and top notes. They all dove head first into the world of perfume and how it’s made, reading multiple books, researching online and countless hours creating and experimenting with homemade perfume.

Our Thoughts:

Perfume is a matter of the person's choice in most situations. Music to my Nose is a beautiful addition to anyone's spread of scents. Just in time for the holidays, you won't be sorry to give this new company a look over.

Lined with scents like rose, violet, and red berries, my sample of Classical is, well, shall we say a Masterpiece! Just like any classical piece of music, it starts out strong, and in the end leaving just a hint of sustain in the air.

Priced well, $18 won't break the bank and is a great gift this season! Applicator is a roller ball, which makes traveling a breeze! This actually stays in my purse just in case I need a touch up through out the day when I'm running errands!

Definitely an interesting thought to add music to your perfume, and Miss Lauren, didn't go wrong! What a wonderful way to celebrate music, and also give back to the community!
