My common sense didn’t awaken; reviewing Attraction Awaken for her edp, by Avon.

Make bold moves with the tempting oriental and woody fragrance of Attraction Awaken for Her...

Feel the anticipation with juicy blackcurrant, sensual black tuberose and a powerful passion potion accord - a note infused with leather, amber, musk and rum-soaked wood.

Long story short; I ordered the wrong thing, because I had convinced myself that Attraction Awaken was the latest release in the Attraction line. I remember flìcking though the catalogue and thinking "hmm, I'm  not sure why this would be chosen as a late spring/summer release", which should have been enough to make me pause and take another look - but nope, I guess that I was having a dumb day...

Anyway now I have it, let's find out how well this wears during the warmer months.

I want to play: reviewing Attraction Game edp, by Avon.

JSpritz the sensual fragrance onto your pulse points to tempt your senses, tease your body and stimulate your mind...

Attraction is a game and it’s time to play, so make your move with the woody and amber perfume of Attraction Game for Her Eau de Parfum. 

The fragrance that’s designed to stimulate your sensory neurones to unlock undeniable pleasure, with spicy pink pepper, rich dark chocolate and luxurious velvet woods.

Avon currently has a 2-for-£22 offer on the perfume's in the Attraction fragrance line, so I was going to finally get a bottle of the original alongside the new launch [Attraction Awaken]. 

However I ultimately couldn't pass up the opportunity to get the flanker I'd paid attention to since it's launch & have been seriously eying up for the past few months instead, as there'll no doubt be plenty of future offers available to pick up the original. 

So, for now, let's take another step back in the Attraction timeline and meet Attraction Game. 

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...
