Free your Fire – YSL LIBRE Fragrance

Free your Fire – YSL LIBRE Fragrance

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a fragrance review here on StyleScoop, but man oh man am I excited about this one. The new LIBRE fragrance from YSL Beauty ticks all my fragrance boxes.

It’s sexy, seductive, bright and the warm vanilla touch makes it a perfect cozy fragrance! Just what I’ve been looking for. In addition, it has uber smouldering notes of lavender. Something that is very much found in mens fragrances, but works majestically in this one – because of a very special process!

Skin Protect, Ocean Respect

Skin Protect, Ocean Respect

Over the years here on StyleScoop, I’ve mentioned the importance of sunscreen and looking after your skin. More recently, probably around the time of this post, I got a rude awakening about sun care products.

Like most people, I was unaware of the chemicals sunscreens are loaded with, that are not only bad for your own skin, but the levels of toxicity in many sun care products are wreaking havoc on our oceans.

New Chanel Ink Fusion Lips & ULTRA Le Teint Velvet Foundation

New Chanel Ink Fusion Lips & ULTRA Le Teint Velvet Foundation

There have been a lot of exciting new launches from Chanel and I’m excited to share a few of them with you today.

First up, let’s talk lips and CHANEL has added some gorgeous new shades and textures to the beautiful Chanel ROUGE ALLURE INK range.

If you’re not familiar with Chanel Rouge Allure Ink, it’s basically Chanel’s (amazing) version of liquid lipsticks. I tried them when they launched in 2016 and was instantly in love with the formula, of course the packaging and how they didn’t leave my lips dried or messy – which is often the case with liquid lipsticks.

FLOWERBOMB Midnight – Fragrance Review

FLOWERBOMB Midnight – Fragrance Review

First things first – I am a big, big fan of the original Flowerbomb fragrance of 2005 and even more in love with their 2015 update Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum Extrême. So yes, it’s a no brainer that I would also love Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Midnight too. The only thing, is that I don’t find it as potent as the other two? Don’t get me wrong, it’s glorious but I’m talking intensity when I say “potent”. On me it gives me that knee weakening first spritz, but then seems to settle into a pretty scent without overpowering the senses. And I do like fragrances that overpower, but hey, if that’s not your thing and perhaps you didn’t like that with previous Viktor & Rolf fragrances, who knows, this one may be  your numero uno.

Flowerbomb Midnight – a suspenseful moment of supreme mystery, sensuality, femininity, power, and transformation. The truest form of self and expression, your unapologetic self… at midnight.

Glow baby Glow

Glow baby Glow

Now that the temperature had dropped (brrrr) skincare routines need to be updated. I mean, who want’s to lose their glorious glow just because it’s cold out? Never mind that, but in a time where over 1000 selfies are taken every second worldwide, perfect skin is the number one beauty concern we as women have.

We can fake it with filters and makeup, edits and digital enhancements, but who really has time for all that? Imagine if your skin looked like the beautify filter on Instagram, even when you’re caught in the flesh!
