Plush <> lush: rviewing Eden Plush Pear | 23 edp, by Kayali.

 

Plush, Dreamy, Dewy

 Eden Plush Pear | 23 Eau de Parfum captures the comforting nostalgia of life’s golden moments. It opens with the sweetness of ripe pear and bright mandarin, evoking carefree, sunlit days, while airy freesia and gardenia add a soft, luminous touch, and decadent vanilla caviar wraps you in its dreamy scent bubble...

I've fallen way behind wh:en it comes to Kayali releases overall, however when it comes to their Eden collection I'm always ready to go. 

Spoiler alert: it was difficult to choose between the two new editions in the Eden line - Plush Pear & Sweet Peach - or one of last year's releases, which I hadn't gotten around to buying, becaus they all smell amazing. After multiple testings I was actually leaning more towards Sweet Peach or Maui Dreams, but something took over me when I went into Sephora to buy a bottle of one of those, and I grabbed a bottle of Plush Pear instead. 

Does the performance consistency live up to my expectations?

Speedy review; Sweet Dream edp, by GHOST.

Addictive & Empowering

Power with a luminous smile, Sweet Dream is the scent that lifts your mood and calms your mind all at once. A playful blend of soft sweetness and gentle glow that feels as good as it smells, bright notes bring an instant boost of positivity, while a creamy comforting base wraps you in calm.

It’s relaxation with a sparkle - cozy, confident, and completely feel-good energy in fragrance form.

Today we're completing my reviews for each fragrance in the new GHOST mood-boosting Dream trio collection. Sweet Dream interested me the most because I couldn't find much reliable information on the scent notes initially, so I wasn't sure what to expect beyond the fragrance being 'something sweet' containing strawberry and marshmallow.

Let's take a dip...

Getting cheeky: Fenty Beauty Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush in Tahiti Teaze

 CHEEKS WORTH CLAPPIN’ FOR...

STRAIGHT UP:

A high-performance powder blush that delivers an impactful, but super blendable, flush of colour in a range of matte + shimmer shades for all skin tones. 

Airy-soft, waterproof, sweat-resistant + humidity-resistant.

THE LOWDOWN:

A bold, but airy-soft, blush with performance that demands a standing ovation. This pressed powder delivers high-impact pigment in just one swipe, then blends seamlessly for a diffused flush of colour. 

Don't worry about fallout or looking chalky—these stay in place, won’t cake. The curated, all-star shade lineup has matte + shimmer shades for all skin tones to flaunt. Cheers, claps and snaps to that.


I'm someone who suffers from blush blindness, so finding a subtle shade that I really like and wear often is something that is worth taking a closer look at...

Speedy Review: Lazy Dream edp, by GHOST.

Comforting & calming

 Lazy Dream is a floral gourmand fragrance that balances sweetness with freshness. Not just a fragrance but a full mood sensation. Calming yet energising soft yet confident it is a scent that feels like your aura elevated.

The composition is designed to feel calming yet energizing, modern and wearable without excessive sweetness.

I recently bought Peachy Dream and enjoy it a lot, so I have been researching the other two fragrances in the collection and today I'm taking you on a dive into the one which reads as the most appealing on in the new GHOST Dream trio.

Rarely never?: Almost Always edp, by Khloè Kardashian.

"Almost Always is such a positive phrase... a really whimsical, beautiful, romantic phrase"

Why Almost Always?

Because perfection isn't the goal—your presence is. You don’t have to get it right every time. You don’t have to show up flawlessly to be worthy. Being almost always patient, focused, motivated, joyful... That’s already more than enough. Almost always means you care. It means you’re trying. It means you’re human.

You are not defined by the one time you couldn’t. You are shaped by the many times you did.

Almost always is enough. And so are you.

This deeply addictive, Floral Amber Woody fragrance is a reminder that you are worthy - and to always choose love in the moments that matter most.

I'm still fascinated by the way XO Khloè transforms on my skin during the 3 stages - it's as though I've applied different fragrances. So I've obviously been keeping an eye on the release schedule for her new fragrance, to get the chance to find out if it can stand tall next to it, or if it is something that is better best forgotten. 

Time to find out...
