Head to Head: Viva La Juicy vs. Peace Love & Juicy

VS

Hey bloggers, its Jaz' here and I wanted to compare two popular Juicy Couture fragrances to give you all my take on the scents and which one I think wins in a head to head battle.

Okay lets start with VIVA LA JUICY:

This scent has vanilla, sandlewood, honeysuckle, and jasmine as some of its most prevalent components giving it a rich scent with strong floral notes. Vanilla is probably the strongest scent though, making the perfume undeniably sweet and feminine. Its a very strong scent in my opinion and it lasts all day. Best for nighttime, this is definitely one for my glam divas.

Now onto PEACE LOVE & JUICY:

This scent has meyer lemon, honeysuckle, sweet red apple, jasmine, and magnolia as some of its most prevalent components giving it a light fruity scent mixed with sweet florals. This bright scent is also very feminine and soft, though the citrus gives it the punch it needs to grab attention. Coined by some as the "hippie-scent" of the brand, it seems like a scent for my eccentric, go-with-the-flow girlies.

The Verdict: I think Peace, Love, & Juicy wins this head to head, simply because I think its much more versatile. It gives you the best of both worlds by combining citrusy scents with florals to give a smell that is light and fun enough for day, yet flirty and sassy enough for night. Both are great fragrances, but I think that Viva La Juicy has its place more in night time scenes and special events. Peace, Love, & Juicy is my signature scent and I love that I can wear it everyday if I choose and not feel "overdone" in the scent department. And as I said before it still makes enough of a statement that I get complimented during nights out with lots of "mmmm's" and "oohhh you smell good's". Viva La Juicy will still remain a scent I switch it up with when I get the urge because it is quite a lovely scent also. Besides the smell, two very important factors in picking your signature scent are your personality and how the scent mixes with your body composition. Viva La Juicy may make a great signature scent for someone whose personality and body composition differ from mine.

Until next time!!

Mini Makeup Haul !

Hello bloggers and happy new year!!!! Its Jaz' here and I wanted to share with you all a few makeup purchases I made earlier today. All items were purchased from Walmart and totaled to a little over $16. Here's what I purchased:

NYC Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Petal
93cents

NYC Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Retro Red
 93cents

NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer
in Light $3.57

Loreal Studio Secrets Professional
 Color Smokes Eyeshadow
in Forest Smokes $5.97

NYC Brow & Liner Pencil
in Dark Brown $1.72

NYC Shadow Applicators
93cents

NYC Instant Lash All Purpose
Mascara in Extreme Black $1.00

Can you believe I got all those items for around $16??? I am the queen of frugalistas, girls, I tell you lol. I called this a mini haul because most of these items I have purchased before but the NYC Instant Lash Mascara, the NYC shadow applicators, and the Loreal Studio Secrets Professional Color Smokes Eyeshadow are first time buys. I will do reviews on these products after I try them out. As far as the products I have tried, the lip colors are both very pigmented and very moisturizing to the lips. NYC lipstick in Retro Red is a very true to color fire engine red. NYC lipstick in Petal is light pink and has a slight shimmer to it when applied. I love both colors. I use the NYC concealer to define my brows, which is why I got it a few shades lighter than my skin tone. I have been pleased with this concealer, it def gets the job done, though it can a little extra effort to blend sometimes. I use the brow pencils, of course, to fill in my brows. I use a dark brown shade because black looks unnatural. You should never use black for brows. These pencils are inexpensive and work very well for my brow process.

At any rate guys, these are the products I purchased. I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and maybe my purchases can inspire you all for the next time you need a new makeup item for the low. Until next time!
