And I'm a Chanel nail polish girl too, almost as long as I've been using Prescriptives. I also like Sisley skincare, some Clarins products and Origins. Christian Dior waterproof pencil eyeliner. As for perfume, I switch around...my alltime fave Paco Rabanne's eau de Metal (weird name, but great perfume) was discontinued add I've never found anything else that compares.

What I rue, however, is that the fragrance doesn't come in an unbreakable bottle. I just parted with $95 for a bottle of eau de toilette at Nordstrom, because the fragrance is now a Nordstrom exclusive and can't be bought online, and when I got it home, the bottle inside the cellophane-wrapped box was shattered. I tried to salvage what I could by pouring it into a designed fragrance bottle with a glass stopper, but it had pretty much soaked into the box and the shopping bag. At least my bathroom smells heavenly -- but that's a damn expensive air freshener.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-63133477440956579132009-06-08T17:12:37.350+02:002009-06-08T17:12:37.350+02:00Part of me wished I cared about perfume as much as...Part of me wished I cared about perfume as much as you do--because I love reading about it!<br /><br />Sadly, I have 2 scents I love and have worn for years, one for winter, one for summer. <br /><br />....And that's all she wrote, folks.<br /><br />xoxheidikinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525478381785640543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-45387278402646360712009-06-08T14:43:11.794+02:002009-06-08T14:43:11.794+02:00Your posts make me long for the old days when my c...Your posts make me long for the old days when my clothes were Prada and jewelry 18K. I loved this aspect of living in Europe. <br /><br />Now, however, I work in the dark and it's so physical that I've considered permanent makeup cause everything else slides off my face. On the other hand, I work in my barefeet and the piggies like that.<br /><br />I'm not overly loyal to any brand of makeup except Bare Minerals which really does make my skin look better. I have rosacea and it hides the pinkness really well. And I like Revlon lipstick, but I think I have a weird attraction to the way it tastes...<br /><br />As far as skincare, I've tried everything from cheap to expensive and have come to the conclusion that sunscreen, rest, water and eating well are the only things that truly make a difference.<br /><br />I love the way you photograph of perfume bottles.<br /><br />I can't believe it.

Oh and Chanel and Bourjois nailvarnish. <br /><br />Other than that, there's a bit of Chatacaille going on for eyeshadow, some Bourjois, occasional forays in to Bobby Brown and Mac. <br /><br />I like Laura Mercier lipgloss and powder. <br /><br />I adore Chanel 19, and currently like something flowery (peony?) by Stella McCartney. <br /><br />Great post. I used to spend a week a month on the road and got very familiar with duty free at London Heathrow and then all over the world. But Heathrow is the best. <br /><br />Happy Days. <br /><br />Oh, should you need to know, my boys love my Bourjois sparkly silver eyeshadow the bset for themselves. And like to use my Shu Umura (spelling?) powder brush to clean the windows with.

I do not use many hair care products and my shampoo is usually whatever is on sale too. Even with clothes, I tend to buy vintage things and handmade items rather than a name brand.<br /><br />The one thing that I am VERY picky about is peanut butter. We do not eat meat and peanut butter is a staple in our house. I cannot tolerate any pb that is not JIF. I can seriously taste the difference. I can see and smell the difference too.<br /><br />Sometimes, the brand is just better.Ady Grafovnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186398278244365898noreply@blogger.com
