MOR LYCHEE FLOWER EDT


I've actually had this perfume for a while now, and honestly, it's one of my absolute favourites. 
The first time I encountered it was at a friend's birthday and I went crazy over trying to find out what it was... and where I could get my hands on it ;) Amazingly enough, one of my amazing friends gifted it to me for my birthday that year hahaha.

In my opinion, this perfume is the queen of fresh and fruity scents. According to fragrantica.com, MOR's Lychee Flower contains notes of sparkling lychee blossom, fresh ferries, powdery floral notes and aromas of green wood. 

As for me, I could only smell passionfruit. I also read 'lychee flower' as passionfruit. Yeah, I was that deluded. But either way, it smells amazing and I absolutely recommend it if you're into fruity perfumes. The floral notes that fragrantica.com mentioned seem to linger underneath the fruity scents like a secondary scent.

If you feel as though Lychee Flower might be sickeningly sweet, it's not. There's a kind of sour-y tartness to the scent that brings the smell back down to earth. Just be careful not to drown yourself in it, a couple of sprays is more than enough! 

The sillage is pretty strong, the smell permeates the air around you for a while. Similarly, the longevity of the perfume is something to be admired, it lasts a pretty long time and the smell deepens and changes to a more green and floral scent over the course of the day.


Another thing to praise about this perfume is the packaging. I freaking love the packaging!! It's so pretty and elegant. Forget about the perfume, I could be sold on the packaging alone.

OPI - DULCE DE LECHE

Dulce De Leche Swatch

I was out at the Glebe Markets and came across a small stall with things strewn all over a small table. There were multiple pairs of jeans, belts, unopened tubes of lip gloss and nail polish. 

Now, if it were just the typical Ulta or BYS nail polish I wouldn't bat an eye, but there were a couple of bottles of OPI's and even an Essie mini!

This was one of the OPI bottles I picked up (I also grabbed a really pretty silvery colour) and I swear, it was love at first sight! Even in the bottle, the pastel pink just seems so warm and welcoming.


Once I put it on, I don't know how, but I fell even more in love. 

'Dulce De Leche' is literally the nude lip equivalent for nails. It's not really noticeable when you just take a quick glance at your hand, so it's perfect for school (if you go to a pretty lax school like me where nail polish and jewelry is allowed if it isn't too obvious). 

However, it still adds a warmth to your nails and makes you feel cute and fuzzy inside!
