Getting cheeky; Rhode Pocket Blush in Sun Soak.

 

A little blush for a little flush. Our on-the-go cream blush wakes up cheeks and lips with a satiny, diffused flush that melts on smoothly and stays all day. It’s a lightweight formula that hydrates skin for baby-soft cheeks and leaves a glowy finish without a greasy feel. 


I'm a big fan of the Rhode blushes, and love orange blush as an alternative to peach; peach shades look lovely and fresh on other people, but it just vanishes into my skintone.
I wanted to show it off now because I think that this is the perfect time of year for this type of shade - not that I don't wear it all of the time regardless of seaon, but the orange-with-a-hint-of-red gives late summer sunsets, crossing into pumpkins and bonfires.

Purrfect?: reviewing Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk | 22 edp, by Kayali.

 Sweet. Decadent. Creamy. 

Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk | 22 Eau de Parfum is a triple-dose caramel fragrance, purr-fect for gourmand lovers!


"This perfume started as an April Fool's joke, but the love we got from the community was so real, we knew we had to bring it to life! Our community has always been at the heart of everything we do, and Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk | 22 is the perfect example of that. Inspired by my love for caramel, I wanted to create the ultimate gourmand fragrance with salted caramel, caramel milk and caramel santal that felt rich, creamy, comforting and completely addictive," says Mona Kattan, Founder & CEO, KAYALI.

"When Mona first came to us with the vision for Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk, the concept was already vivid and full of character. Her vision was clear: a caramel scent that felt rich, creamy, and truly addictive, yet wearable and effortlessly layerable every day," says Clement Gavarry, Principal Perfumer at dsm-firmenich.


Forget the wishlist. 

Forget the one-out-one-in rule. 

The 2025 April Fool's joke perfume has been the surprise inspiration for the new Kayali fragrance release, so I preordered a bottle earlier this month...
