Current Favourite | Lancôme La vie est belle

La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme

This scent has been my favourite since back in October when I bought it. When I was at the airport departing from Berlin I got bored of waiting so I decided to check out the duty free and that's when it was literally love at first sight scent. There and then I knew that this perfume would be accompanying me back home and till this day I am happy it did. Also funny thing is that I'd actually written a wishlist which included this very same fragrance, but somehow I ended up forgetting about it till later. You can see the list here.

Now I am not one to stack up on loads of fragrances like I do with shoes (that is another story), because it will obviously take me ages to empty all the bottles which is why I casually keep them around 3-6 or so. That is more than enough for me. In case you do not already know, "La vie est belle" is French expression that means "Life is beautiful". The concept of this fragrance is centered on the idea of natural and simple beauty and the choice of one's own vision of happiness. It's all about finding joy and pleasure in small things in life which is what I love.

La vie est belle is: elegant, soft and glamorous and very feminine. It has a very intense scent without being overbearing, of course that is if used sparingly. I usually just spray very little and that goes a long way to even leave me smelling good all day long. It can last for as long as 8 hours without needing to apply more which is great because who really has the time to be reapplying their perfume every 2 hours? Not me at least.

I'm lusting over...

I have a confession to make, recently I discovered my addiction (and comfort) with false eyelashes, there's just something about them and there are so many options out there and one can easily transform any basic looking into looking very lush. I've been wearing lashes almost everyday and only mascara on my lower lashes especially for work because my eyes are easily irritated with wearing mascara for a long period. Also winged liner is something I've doing for quite some time now and I'm starting to put more time in my face make-up than before.

I'm also really in need of a new hairstyle and as I said before, I want as big curly afro, thinking maybe crochet braids or a curly weave. I've yet to decide but probably in the next coming days I should have a new hairstyle and I'm very excited. For all my sistahs, ya'll know that feeling of having a new hairstyle that instantly transforms you into a 'new' person. Have you tried any of these products and if so, how did you like them?
