Review: Michael Kors Very Hollywood....

I was super happy to get a Michael Kors Very Hollywood perfume sample in my Sephora order....

Here's a description of the scent off his site:

'The Eau de Parfum makes its debut with shimmering jewels of mandarin and iced bergamot. Scene-stealing gardenia follows suit with a decadent performance of award-worthy glamour.'

Rural Glamour Opinion: It smells EXACTLY like the original Michael Kors, with lots of up front gardenia. I like it but its not a fresh take from his scents. I expected more. The bottle is absolutely fabulous. If I had 'collector' money I would buy it for the bottle but for now, I'll pass.

Review: Victoria's Secret Love Rocks Perfume....

See this?!! I got this cute black clutch with 5 deluxe samples in it from Victoria's Secret for $15 with any beauty purchase...so many great things to try and rock at a great price!! One of the goodies I was excited about wearing was the new scent Love Rocks.... Its the red roll on in the picture:).
According to the website, the notes for Love Rocks are:

Fragrance type: fruity floral

Top notes: bergamot, peony, raspberry sorbet

Middle notes: sandalwood flower, jasmine, peach nectar, plum, stephanotis

Low notes: golden amber, violet, cashmere musk, vanilla

Its described as a 'fruity floral' but I know an amber/bergamot/sandalwood based scent when I smell one!!! It's more spicy and oriental. I really didn't catch the floral on the initial application or on the dry down. Its reminded me of the Halle Scent...

But to have so many 'heavy' bases, its very light. Not overwhelming. You could discreetly wear this at night...subtle sexiness....

Overall, I like it but doubt I will invest in a full size. I have sooo many warm,spicy scents very similar to Love Rocks. Alot of companies are doing that warm " floral" thing now.....

Review: Santee Mineral Eye Colors in #4.....

I picked up this Santee Mineral Eye Colors Palette in #4 because the colors where so warm and fall-like AND all in one palette!

I probably have all these colors or similar to these colors in singles and other palette but to have them all together and for $3 was not a shabby deal.:)
It says they are "mineral". **shrugs**I don't get it but the colors are beautiful, light pigmented, just enough to give you color....
This look is good for a daytime, work color eye look. Subtle but has lots of punch....

Review:L.A.Colors 12 Eyeshadow Palette in Supernatural....

Another L.A. Colors Palette!! This time in 'Supernatural'. A great palette of blue shades....
Got for a $1 at Dollar General along with Traditional...
I love it!!!
I worked about four colors of this palette for the look. The colors are pigmented just enough. Sometimes blue eyeshadows looks harsh on me but these didn't. L.A. Colors shadows, so far, hold up well with a primer underneath....

Diary of Nouveau Nappyhead: New Wig....Model Model Fay

I told ya'll was going to invest in a wig or two. Trying to keep my own hair healthy and protect it, so when I can't wear a wig( which is in the blazing ass Southern summer) it will be good to go!

I went to the BSS this morning because last week I saw that they sold Model Model wigs for $19.99. I was intrigued by Model Model wigs after watching Ateyaaa's contest on You Tube....
I picked up "Fay"...a super big curly wig...I love fucking love it!!

It takes me so long to find a wig that I like and want to spend money on...that's why I wore 'Ye olde faithful wig" for soooooo long....
The color is 1b...I'm like Ateya...I don't do I lot of color.
