Door Paper... Decorate Your Door in a Flash!

Hi Everyone,

Although this isn't exactly related to cosmetics,
this is something new that "you've gotta try."

I'm talking about "Door Paper", which is a printed
sheet of art that can be applied to any standard
flat door.

For more information on Door Paper just go to:
http://www.doorpaper.com/

Just imagine having a beautiful work of art like
"Flaming June" by Leighton printed and applied
to the door of your bathroom, bedroom or
make-up room!

Or how about something like "Abduction of Psyche"
by Bougereau for a much needed feminine touch
to the room you use to apply your favorite
cosmetics?

Until next time...

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

Hi Gals,

One of the hottest new fragrances (see the latest In Style
magazine!) is Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.

I bought a sample of this a month ago and immediately
fell in love with it. It's absolutely delightful and I recommend
everyone try it.

Full-bodied and opulent, Flowerbomb is a floral explosion,
a profusion of flowers that has the power to make everything
seem more positive.

The perfume's magically evocative notes will immediately
awaken your deepest senses, giving you the impression of living
life in your own secret garden away from hard reality.

· Top notes: tea and bergamot
· Middle notes: Sambac jasmine, orchid, freesia, rose
· Base note: patchouli

Housed in a beautiful bottle cut like a multi-faceted diamond!

You can buy a sample of it (1.5 ML, enough for about 10 days
once you actually try it and realize how excellent the fragrance
is) on Ebay for $5 (give or take) just to try it out.

Or go for a 7 ML bottle of it which will last you several months
for approximately $19 USD.

Available exclusively at Saks (aside from being sold on Ebay,
of course) this EDT comes in a 1.7 oz bottle that's sold for $95
but you can get it for much less on Ebay, brand new in the box.

Lingerie & Galoshes For Lashes?

Hi Gals,

Another great product by Urban Decay (there are
just sooo many products to test out I'm just now
getting around to seeing what Urban Decay has
to offer) is Lingerie and Galoshes.

Housed in an ultra-portable and utterly adorable
dual-sided tube, Lingerie for Lashes & Galoshes for
Lashes makes the most of the favorite mascara that’s
already in your makeup bag.

The sleek purple wand comes complete with cute
graphics of rain boots on one end and a camisole
on the other. (It's absolutely adorable!)

Sexify eyes with a little Lingerie and then seal the deal
for a waterproof finish that lasts all night with Galoshes.

To use: Lingerie for Lashes – Apply this lightweight primer
enriched with fibers to naked lashes to add lift, length, and
oomph, then apply mascara.

Galoshes for Lashes – Once mascara is set, apply this clear,
waterproof layer that won’t quit come rain or shine.

Perfect for pool parties, weddings and days at the beach when
you need the reliability of your favorite mascara and don’t
want to take chances with an untested waterproof formula!

I bought one of these for my sister's birthday last month and
when it arrived I just had to try it out...

Long story short I ended up keeping it for myself and bought
her another present because after trying it once I just didn't
think I could survive without it!

Check it out if you can. Available at Sephora (out of stock right
now, unfortunately) in the near future. Or try Ebay if you can't
wait.

There's a Magic Genie in This Bottle!

Hi All,

It's true. There IS a magic genie in this bottle!



After all I've read about Urban Decay's "Primer Potion"
(which looks like an ultra slick genie bottle) being the
ULTIMATE eye shadow base I finally got to try it out.

Being sold out on Sephora for the last month I had
to resort to Ebay to grab one of these and it was
the best $14 I've ever spent. (That was a SWEET
deal, by the way!)

Selling normally for $15 USD, this magic potion is
now selling for $30 and up on Ebay due to the shortage
so if you haven't tried this yet I'd say wait until Sephora
has it back in stock.

But once you can grab a bottle for $15, give it a try.

Packaged in a precious, genie-like bottle, Eyeshadow
Primer Potion is an ultra-sheer, totally nude eye base

that glides on with the wave of a wand and then
disappears instantly.

Once it's dry you apply your regular shadow for a
completely creaseless look that lasts a LONG time.

(If you're the type that goes to bed without taking
off your makeup there's a good chance you'll wake
up looking perfect!)

So check it out as soon as you can!

It's Time To Take a Sugar Bath!

Hi Gals,

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here,
being busy redecorating my house, painting and
of course all the usual stress during tax season.

With that all behind me now I'm ready to dish
the dirt on the latest goodies I've collected in
the last two months.

I've got a ton (not quite, but close!) of cosmetics
including at least 5 new Too Faced shadows,
Cargo shadows, lip sticks, Aquolina perfume,
Kiss Me Mascara and more to tell you about.

But first, I just opened my new box of "Pink
Sugar" Perfumed Sugar Bath Cubes and tried
one for the first time.


Pink Sugar Bath Cubes

Needless to say I didn't crawl out of the bath
until I absolutely had to because soaking in
AQUOLINA Pink Sugar is an experience you've
just gotta try!

For approximately $14 USD you get 12 cubes.
Each cube is about the size of 4 regular sugar
cubes so you get a LOT for your money.

Start running the bath, drop one in to the
water and jump in! It slowly dissolves (took
about five full minutes) and the fragrance is
extremely nice.

Pink Sugar, of course, but not overly strong.

When you get out you're left feeling and
smelling sensational.

Until next time....

Spring "Cosmetic" Cleaning Ideas (Plus, FREE Too Faced Sample Offer)

Hi Gals,

Having virtually taken over the bathroom counter and
all available space with my collection makeup and
other goodies I decided it's finally time to do something
about it and clean it up.

For one, I got tired of dusting all the bottles, jars and
eyeshadow containers all the time.

Second, the bathroom was starting to look quite
cluttered.

So last Saturday I went in search of some type of
solution.

First off, my main solution was to get myself one of
those really nice "Juicy Couture" cosmetic bags.



Unfortunately I found they are no longer readily
available. (The color above isn't the one I really want
but shows you the train case I'm referring to...)

So I set off to Winners (where you can get brand name
items for about 50%+ off the regular price) and found
the PERFECT solution.

It's a beautiful PINK suede/black leather topped box,
approximately 10 inches across by 5 or so inches high
and 6 or so inches wide.

(I'll upload a pic of it one day, it's SO beautiful!)

For $15 CDN (about $12 USD) it was a virtual no brainer.
Plus it's the nicest box I've seen in ages. I'm thrilled to
have found it.

The pink suede is an amazing color (aren't pink and black
the absolute perfect pair of colors?) and the best thing
about it is the way the lid works.

Unlike the other 100 or so boxes they had at Winners, the
lid on this one is attached on one side, so you don't have
to mess with trying to put the lid back on after you open
it. (All the others had lids that lifted right off and were a
bit of a pain to put back on.)

There are two fittings on the back of it so the lid opens
straight up and stays there while you're using your make up.
Then when you're done it closes nicely. No muss, no fuss.

So if your bathroom is starting to resemble the makeup
counter at your local dept. store or you're running out of
room to store your stuff then head out the door, run to
Winners (if you've got one in your area) and find yourself
the most beautiful storage box you can find.

(If you can't get out of the house then try looking online.
There's one storage container website that has NOTHING
but boxes for sale. I can't remember the name of it, but
if someone reading this knows what it is, post a comment
wil ya? Thanks!)

Then get back here and tell me what you've found! Get
creative. Find the MOST PERFECT box you can. Send me a
photo of it and in exchange, I'll send YOU a sample of
"Too Faced" Sugar Shadow eye shadow in YOUR color
choice! (You've got to email me your address though...)

You can pick one of the following three colors:

*** Violet Vengeance
*** Caviar Dreams

*** Frozen Roses

(See previous posts for a picture of the color options.)

The sample will contain enough for a couple applications,
so you can try these amazing shadows BEFORE thinking
about buying any of them. (all samples are sterile and
will be taken from my unopened sugar shadows.)

Plus, it's just downright fun getting stuff for free, especially
Too Faced products!

So think storage boxes, bright colors, beautiful fabrics, hat
boxes, whatever you're into and let me know what you've
found.

Until next time...

What's Hot For Spring: Bangles, Wedge Heels, Big Bags, Long Necklaces and More...

Hi Gals!

My newest issue of In Style magazine finally arrived
(I got so tired of seeing it at the grocery store checkout
waiting for my issue to show up in the mail!) and as
usual, it's filled with about 400 pages of "what's hot
now" goodies.

The most notable items "you've just gotta have"
for spring are the BIG, BOLD and BEAUTIFUL:

* Armfuls of bangles (6 or 7+ per arm, mix styles)
* Wedge heels (it appears the bigger the better)
* Long Necklaces (Semi-Precious Stones, Faux Pearls)
* The BIG Bag (Top Handled Purses, Handheld)
* The Slouchy Bag (Leather, Metallics, Skins)
* Gold Metallic Flats (Slipper, Skimmer or Ballet)
* Chunky Necklaces (Baubles and Beads)
* Two Tone Shoes (Sweet Bows, Topstitching, Tassles)
* Oversize Sunglasses (Plastic and Metal Frames, BIG!)
* The Hat ( Floppy Wide Brim Styles)

You can see a lot of these items online at Neiman
Marcus (they've got a great collection of bangles)
or pay a visit to your fave department store.

Until next time...

Why Be Pretty --- When You Can Be Gorgeous!

Hi Ladies...

It's good to be back, although I'm still a little under
the weather, but it's nothing that 10 minutes in
the bathroom with my NEW makeup collection won't
cure!

I've come to realize in the last couple months that
I've gone from thinking about putting on make-up as
a "chore" (after all, there's no way I'm leaving the
house without it!) to really looking forward to

doing it every day.

Because I work from home I can take my time about it.

I'm not racing to get out the door to beat rush hour
traffic so I have lots of time to try new things, mix
different shadow colors to see what I can come up
with (or which ones I can replicate from the latest
Sephora catalog) and really have a lot of fun!!

Several months back (before I discovered there was
another whole world of cosmetics NOT found in
the local drugstore or department store) I'd drag
myself into the bathroom, go through the motions of
applying the same old boring shadows, liner, etc
and get out of there as quickly as I can. Nothing ever
changed.


I used light to dark grey eye shadows & black liner.

Boring! Boring! Boring!

Fast forward to my new collection and here's a
sample of what I'm planning to use today...




(As pictured above...)

Today I'm going to try the "Frozen Roses" Sugar
Shadow by Too Faced along with "Boy Toy" Duo
Shadow on my eye lids. (Of course under that will
be Second Base to hold the shadow in place, prevent
creases and intensify the color.)

Then I'll apply "Caviar Dreams" Sugar Shadow as
the liner (top and bottom), and get a youthful healthy
glow going by adding "Hibiscus Breeze" Blush Bouquet
on my cheeks. (All products are Too Faced brand.)

And I'll wrap that all up by plumping my lips with the
with my new (and very tasty) Too Faced "Fat Kiss"
Lip Plumping Gloss Potion in "Fat Dacquiri".

With such amazing, high quality and totally FUN
cosmetics on hand, (not to mention the totally hip
packaging these products come in and the lively names
each product has), putting on makeup now
is something
I look
forward to every morning.

It's fun and it's relaxing!

If you've never bought any items by Too Faced before
then I urge you to check them out -- now!


Too Faced <-- Click here to see this amazing product line!

I found this quote online earlier today about Too Faced
products and thought I'd included it here for you:

The Too Faced customer is looking for a quality
product delivered in a unique and fun package. She is
tired of the dull, all too predictable make-up in
department stores. She wants some fun!

The core customer is fashion forward and trendy.
She reads all the top fashion magazines and knows
what's happening. Like Jarrod said, "Why be pretty
when you can be gorgeous!!"

When you compare the prices of the products to anything
you'd find in the local drugstore or department store they
may be a dollar or two more expensive but the quality is
very good, the shadows are heavily pigmented, go on very
smooth, not clumpy and the colors offered are really second
to none! There is an amazing array of different shadows,

lip glosses, lip colors, powders, blushes, mascara and more.

And the biggest reason "you've gotta try this!" is...
because you're sooo worth it!

Until next time...

I'm Back and LOADED With New Goodies!

Hi Gals,

After a lengthy bout of the flu, I'm back and in my
absence I spent a considerable amount of time
shopping online for new cosmetics... So I've got
a ton of new stuff to review and share with you.

My favorite find in the last couple weeks?

Terax Original Crema Conditioner

Details on that and many other fabulous finds
will be posted over the next few days.

Until then...

Update on Freeze 24/7...

In my experience, if someone is upset about a purchase they've made or have anything negative to say about a product, they'll usually always post it on the net. (See Amazon product reviews, epinions.com, etc.)

People rarely, if ever (aside from this blog, obviously, because my goal is to deliver the goods on what works!) go online to rave about a product... So I figured IF Freeze 24/7 really is just a high priced moisturizer, I'd find out pretty quickly if I surfed the net looking for product reviews.

The result?

1 solo post to Amazon from a woman who says she never noticed a difference at all after using Freeze 24/7.
So, does the lack of negative feedback mean it works? Or is this product so new that no one's really got around to complaining about it yet?

Considering this product is sold out in pretty much every store I've looked does this mean there are thousands of people out there who are secretly keeping the results to themselves?

Hesitant to spend the $100+ dollars on it, I've decided to put this product test on hold until I can get more feedback, or until I have $100+ bucks to blow just in case it doesn't work at all.

Freeze 24/7 - Is It The Real Deal, Or Not?

I've been seeing a lot of the new "Freeze 24/7" product in magazines and online and before I shell out a whopping $145 (CDN) on this product, I'd really like to know if it's the real deal - or not.

• Does it work?

According to the Freeze 24/7 web site, they say:

Why You Never Need To Buy Eyeliner Again!

My biggest secret tip this month:

Why you never need to buy eyeliner again and how to make sure your eyeliner always matches your shadow -- guaranteed.

(Before reading this, make sure you've read the previous post on "Second Base Eyeshadow Base" from Too Faced products because this next tip depends entirely on your having Second Base in your make up bag.)

Until the beginning of January, my preferred eyeliners were Rimmel's "Exaggerate" Eye Definer in "Steel", "Aubergine", "Ocean", and the basic Rimmel "Black". For an inexpensive liner (about $4.99 CDN) it really held up against some of the more expensive liners I'd tried so it was always my favorite.... until just recently.

While applying "Second Base" from Too Faced one morning, I realized, since it holds the shadow on so well on the lids, maybe I could apply a little under the eye as well, then use one of my new Sugar Shadows (also from Too Faced) to create my very own, perfectly matched "Eye Liner". It worked amazingly well and I've never used actual eye liners since.

Of course I'd never go out without eye liner (this being the one item I would absolutely need if I could only use one product before heading out the door) so I'm not saying I'm leaving the house "linerless". Just the opposite in fact!

Using a swipe of Second Base under the eye and on the lid, I take my "Pencil Tip" brush (Elegant Faces brush collection) and dip it into my preferred shadow of the day. For example, yesterday I chose "Too Faced Sugar Shadow" in "Caviar Dreams" (this is a very dark grey shadow) and applied that as an upper, then lower liner. The result is totally amazing!

Next, I took a larger shadow brush and applied the violet from the "Too Faced Fairy Tale" shadow duo (see previous post on that) over the lid, added a touch of the yellowish/gold shadow from Fairy Tale, then to finish, I applied a sweep of "Violet Vengeance" Sugar Shadow. (I absolutely LOVE the Sugar Shadows and soon I'll complete my collection by ordering Champagne Wishes and Frozen Roses.)


Now in the above example I haven't matched the shadow turned liner with the lid color because I've been using lighter colors lately, but you can easily do this if you prefer a bit of a darker shadow color on your lids.

For example, you can get the "Ooh and Aah" duo shadow from Too Faced, use the darker side for the liner above and below, then apply a sweep of the lighter shadow on the lids and use the darker portion in the crease.



The result, a totally amazing and perfectly matched shadow/liner combination!

Best of all, using this tip you can miraculously transform any eye shadow in your collection into a brand new liner!


Too Faced "Second Base" Eyeshadow Base

You've Gotta Try: Too Faced "Second Base" Eyeshadow Base

My biggest "secret weapon" in my make up collection today has got to be "Second Base" eyeshadow from Too Faced Cosmetics. It takes only an extra 10 seconds to apply in the morning and keeps your shadow in place, creaseless and beautiful all day.


This is a luxuriously soft and silky "buttery yellow" base that goes under your eyeshadow. The biggest benefit of Second Base (they've also got First Base but it's got a bit of an iridescent glimmer to it) is the way your shadows go over top without creasing. It keeps your shadow in place for hours and hours.

(I confess I end up going to bed without taking my make up off quite often and I've woken up the next morning with my shadow perfectly in place!)


You can get Too Faced Cosmetics from:
Shop for Too Faced products!

If you live in the USA then you can snag this amazing product for about $15 and it's well worth it. I've been using it since Dec. 26th, daily, and have barely made a dent in it. One sweep over your eyelids is all you need.

The first time I tried Second Base I got 3 compliments on "how amazing" my eye shadow looked and I'd used the same old shadow I always did (that was before I found the Too Faced shadow collection!), with the only change being the Second Base that I applied under my shadow.

Second Base will enrich the color of your existing shadow and may appear slightly darker than usual, so use a slightly lighter touch with applying your shadow. With this under, a little goes a long way!

For anyone interested in trying something new, grab either the First or Second Base product and check out my next post. It'll save you from ever having to buy eye liner again AND will guarantee your eye liner always matches your shadow, perfectly!

What's In Your Shopping Bag? (Posts Wanted!)

Ladies (and gentlemen too, of course!)...

I want to know... what's in your shopping bag?

Obviously I'm not the only one out there treating myself to a few new goodies every week or two (or maybe a bit more often than that!) and I want to know what's in your shopping bags. What did you order online this week? What did you get last week? Do tell!

You can respond to every post here so if you've bought a product that you see on this list then I want to know what you think. Give us the low down on your fabulous finds!

Feel free to share your make up tips or submit a comment. Just scroll down under this post and click the COMMENT link.


Come on... you know you want to confess your shopaholic sins!

I found a couple online forums where you can login and post your favorite finds but every one of those forums seems to be geared towards the under twenty crowd so I'm thinking about forming a similar site, but geared towards women (and men too, of course!) over the age of 20. I've noticed that on a couple of these sites you can upload pics of stuff you've bought, get fashion advice from other board members and show off your stuff.

Since I work from home as an Executive Director for an Internet Marketing company (name withheld because they'll cut my pay if they see I've got THIS much left over for designer makeup, etc) I have plenty of time (NOT DURING WORK) to browse the net and shop online and think a beauty buzz community might be something I'd want to start soon.

P.S. Anyone out there get one of those Marc Jacobs velvet shoulder bags? If so, gimme all the details! I bet you got compliments like crazy. I'd get one IF they weren't sold out everywhere I tried including Neiman Marcus, etc.

Too Faced "Sugar Shadow" in Violet Vengeance!

Best eye shadow find this year goes to: Too Faced "Sugar Shadow" in Violet Vengeance!

Here's the run down on this amazing eye shadow:

Inspired by the stars in the sky, and more importantly, the ones on the red carpet, each of these pure pigment color powders contains a secret mixture of intense color and shimmering stardust.



Too Faced "Sugar Shadow" (Pictured is Champagne Wishes)

To Use: Brush over lids for a wash of soft, glimmering color, layer for more intensity, or add a drop of water for an intense, metallic finish. Can also be applied to face, lips, or body.

The Sugar Shadow pictured above isn't the one I bought but I didn't want to drag out my digital camera just to get a picture of it, but I managed to find an image OF the actual Violet Vengeance color I selected.

Here's the Sugar Shadow in Violet Vengeance:



Where to Buy: Get Sugar Shadow Here!
Price: $13.50

If they're sold out there I recommend you check back. I had to try a couple times to get the Violet Vengeance one.

Now here's one of my BEST EYE SHADOW tips for you:

I took the Too Faced Sugar Shadow Violet and used that as a base coat, then in the crease I applied the yellow from the Duo Shadow (Fairy Tale) I talked about in another post, and finally, added the light violet from the Fairy Tale duo as a wash overtop of everything else and then applied (you don't know about this yet but I bought another Sugar Shadow too - eek!) Sugar Shadow in Caviar Dreams as a slightly smudged liner.

I'll tell you all about WHY I've thrown away ALL my eye liners in another post because this next tip is WAY too good to keep to myself.


Too Faced "Blush Bouquet" (Hibiscus Breeze)

Too Faced "Blush Bouquet"

In the February issue of In Style they had a beauty buzz section on blushes, particularly recommending a cream or gel blush as opposed to powder (which I usually use), so I set out to find something by Too Faced (my favorite brand) or perhaps Stila, Benefit, Bare Escentuals or Cargo.

What I came up with:

(I selected Hibiscus Breeze but the photo below is Freesia)



The beauty of a fresh bouquet of flowers mingled with the natural flush of a wind-swept day - that's what you get in every tube of Too Faced Blushed Bouquet gel blushes.

Each tube is actually pigmented using fresh aromatic flower petals (hibiscus, tuberose, freesia, and rose petals) for cheeks and lips that glow with fresh-picked color.

To use: Dab onto fingertips then onto cheeks or lips in a gentle tap and blend motion. Can also be applied directly from the tube, for added intensity.

I love the look of this blush when it's applied as it is very sheer and only gives the slightest hint of color to the apples of the cheeks so I do really recommend it. Plus it won't dry out your skin like powder blushes.

Oh, and being a self confessed package junkie... the tube is very beautiful!

Where to Buy: Sephora
Price: $21.50

But there is something you should know in advance. The blush is made with pure flower extracts and that means it smells like whatever flower/color you select. So make sure you pick a color that's right for you and select one with a flower you love the smell of. I'd rather have the one that smells like rose petals, but didn't realize this in advance so I'll have to order that one and repot back another day on it!

Great Tip: Blush Bouquet can also be applied to the lips and eye lids!

Too Faced "Fairy Tale" Duo Shadow

Too Faced "Fairy Tale" Duo Shadow



On Thursday I received my newest delivery of cosmetic goodies, including:

"Fairy Tale" Too Faced Duo Shadows

I was a bit hesitant to order this as I usually used to a darker, smokier look for my shadows but in the last few issues of In Style magazine I've been seeing a lot lighter eye shadow colors....

So I went for it and I'm thrilled I did.

Here's the rundown on this eye shadow:

Pure enchantment. For dreamy bedroom eyes, sweep on the Fairy Tale duo from Too Faced.

The colors are a buttercup yellow/gold with a beautiful violet shimmer.

The pair are housed in a charming little compact.... for happily ever after.

Where to Buy:
Shop for Too Faced products!

Price: $17.00

Other Too Faced Products I recommend:

Too Faced Sugar Shadow
Too Faced Lip Injection (Clear)
Too Faced Blush Bouquet

You've Gotta Try: In Style Magazine

Ladies (and Gentlemen with fashion sense!)...

This blog post isn't so much a recommendation
on any type of cosmetic product or "must have"
designer fragrance or anything like that.

It's what's "In Style" and "What's Hot Now"
and there's no better way to keep up with the
latest and greatest trends (well, besides actually
bookmarking this blog so
you'll always have
instant access to all the
goodies I've uncovered
for you!) than to get
your own subscription to
"In Style Magazine".


In addition to the usual 300+ beautiful glossy
pages of In Style Magazine, with each new issue
you get the absolute "hush, hush" secret code
to the website where you can unlock even
more juicy details on the "must haves" of the
month!

I just subscribed to In Style magazine a month
ago and already got 3 huge issues. (They send
a promo issue first.)

Today I'm diving into the February issue and
will set out this week to get and try all of the new
designer, brand name and "Oh, I've JUST Got To
Try That" cosmetic and fragrance recommendations.


Oh yeah, and that hot Marc Jacobs velvet
shoulder bag I saw while flipping through the
pages can't hurt either. Unfortunately it's sold
out in every single store and the only one I can
find is on Ebay and they don't ship to Canada.

So check back later today, tomorrow and all
through this week as I dig up the best of the
best.

And if you want more information on In Style
just head to your grocery store and pick up
a copy.

It's soooo worth it!

BVLGARI Eau Parfumee Bath and Shower Gel

BVLGARI Eau Parfumee Bath and Shower Gel

Notes: This refreshing Bvlgari Bath & Shower Gel
is delicately perfumed with the green-tea essence
of Eau Parfumee. Made in Italy, of course!



Where To Buy: BVLGARI Shower Gel

Price: It varies on whether or not you want
the exact Shower Gel you see above or not.

The shower gel you see picture above is
priced at $40.00. But there are other Bvlgari
shower gels, shampoos, conditioners and
fine fragrances to choose from so you can
find the same "Green Tea" fragrance for
less than $40.


Why You've Gotta Try This: I've been on
the hunt for this for MONTHS and MONTHS.

Finally I've found somewhere that actually
has it in stock.

Originally I learned of this from a fictional
book by Janet Evanovich (She's a totally
excellent author!!) and it sounded absolutely
wonderful but I wasn't sure if the "Bvlgari
Shower Gel" referenced in her series of
"Stephanie Plum" books was actually real
or not...

So I set out to uncover the real truth and
it turns out not only is it real, there's a whole
group of Evanovich book fans out there also
hunting for it because apparently it drives
women of all ages absolutely wild when they
smell it!

So that's the reason it's so hard to find...

The "Au the Vert" line is unisex so both men
and women can use it. But I'd suggest trying
it on your favorite guy first and see what
happens!
