Review: Roses De Chloé Fragrance ♥

Grace - Femininity-Complicity 

Roses De Chloé is the newest fragrance to join the Chloe brand after the refreshingly musky See By Chloe. In Australia it was released in November and just recently a pop store started to promote the fragrance for the Christmas Holidays!! So this is just a review post about this wonderful new fragrance. 

The gorgeous bottle :)

Just a little background I actually work in fragrance selling and currently I'm working at the Chloe popup store but this is not a biased review! It's because I'm working with this fragrance literally ALL the time that I've smelt it very thoroughly and this are my honest perspectives about it. 

Roses is a woody floral fragrance with a top note of Bergamot essence and alcohol which the quickly settles in to the heart of Damascena rose essence which honestly is absolutely tender and beautiful! Many people who smell the perfume cards after I hand it to them (the cards are sprayed then some time left for them to settle) - will turn around and tell me how wonderful the scent is!! 

After reaching the heart of the fragrance there is a trail of magnolia accord, white musk and amber which are at the base note and helps to fragrance to stay on the skin. Because Roses is only available as an eau de Toilette the concentration and strength isn't over powering! It's an easy to wear fragrance really suitable for women of any age! 

It has an adorable bottle! Seriously the bow and the plates make this bottle such a collectable item in anyone's perfume collection! And at the moment our awesome pop up store has a special service where you can engrave the back of the metal part of the bottle - FOR FREE! :) to be honest I want a bottle for myself so badly right now!

GIFT SET!! 

So this is the gift pack where when you purchase the fragrance you also get a free body lotion and engraving service plus more freebies that we will throw in! *cough shameless plug cough* 

That's the pop up store which I'm working at! It's definitely fun but not without it's challenges! Hope for the best for the next week or so! Need to meet all my sales budgets (praying that I will so I can still have a job!!)

hehe I love this uniform!! <3

Here's me with my uniform looking sharp! :) The colour of the top is the most amazing thing! I adore this uniform to the maximum!

Dolly Wink Liquid Eye Liner Review - Old and NEW ♥

MOI :) 

For everyone that doesn't know I have very very small mono lid Asian Eyes (I can rant for the entire post about that topic alone but I'll save it) so eye liner is one of the MOST IMPORTANT make up things that I must have on ALL THE TIME! If I don't have to do my entire eyes I must at least have eye liner on so I've used quite a range of eye liners and  today I wanted to review the Dolly Wink Eye Liners both of them are liquid! (ノ^∇^) 

Some background: Dolly Wink is a part of the Japanese company Koji and created by the famous GAL model Tsubasa Masuwaka.

Dolly Wink Eye Liner Version 1 - THE BEST EYE LINER I'VE EVER USED! 

How the Pen looks Uncapped! THIN and SHARP!

Colour: Black 

The colour of the eye liner is dark and it doesn't require a lot of strokes to build up it's naturally quite a dark ink which is convenient because I frequently draw my eye liner while I'm in a moving vehicle (mostly the bus) so it helps that I can get a dark black line very quickly.

Brush/Tip: Soft and sharp

The tip is like any precision liner very sharp and it's soft so it doesn't feel harsh on the sensitive skin of the eye lids. 

Longevity: LASTS FOREVER

My skin especially around my eyes are very oily and I also dance so I sweat quite a bit but this eye liner can really hack the harsh environments! It doesn't fade very easily and stays on until the end of the day! Some times it does smudge a little bit but compared to MANY other eye liners I've tried (I can review all the others..maybe later) It's by far the longest lasting! 

Price and Accessibility: 

It's not the cheapest eye liner I bought it for $12 or $13 at a SASA Pop up store in Sydney around 2 years ago so in terms accessibility - it's really not easy to get! Since it's always out of stock at the online stores and I can't find it in Australia! 

The saddest thing is the lip of my beautiful eye liner come off and it DRIED (。┰ω┰。) 

I was upset for a VERY VERY VERY long time and I tried to fix by putting in water which worked for a little while but the consistency and the colour was never the same as before it dried and soon the hair on the brush started fraying because of all the water. Make up isn't suited for such harsh environments! So I purchased another eye liner when I went to Japan the same but the second version!

Dolly Wink Eye Liner VERSION 2 - NOT THE SAME!  

  

LOOKS SIMILAR BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME!! D:

Colour: BLACK

The colour was still the same fairly dark and easy to create a black bold line without too much effort and it survived the drawing on the bus test that was good! 

Brush/Tip: Soft and Sharp

The brush was still soft, sharp and hard the same qualities as the old brush so at first I thought the new Dolly Wink Eye liner would be the perfect replacement for my old one! 

Longevity: LIKE ONE HOUR?

This is the part where they differ like night and day! This eye liner looks exactly the same the first version for the FIRST hour then it goes very steeply down hill! It doesn't smudge much either which is good but it FLAKES! Oh yes it flakes.. instead of a complete black line the line starts fading then small black dots start falling from the eye liner creating a strange hollow line! Then the flakes get on my face and create mini black mole/freckle things everywhere!! It was SUCH A MESS! 

I've never been told that I need to fix my eye liner until I've used this one! To be fair if I'm not doing anything extremely strenuous i.e. just staying at home it's fine but when I'm out boy it's so inconvenient!! 

Recommendation: VERSION ONE! If you can find it!! 

For myself I would definitely get the first version - ANY DAY! But I'm definitely not so keen on the second version! It was definitely incredibly disappointing with its none existing staying power and messiness! I wouldn't recommend it! Personally I'm on the hunt for another good eye liner (lots of hours on the internet and time at the shops ensures)! 

DOLLY WINK YOU GET IT?? ;D
