If You Want to Smell Like Sweet, Jammy Rose I’d Buy This Fragrance Set

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Ok, so I think we established the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale sucked but there are a few gems around. If you’re a fan of luxury scents I would recommend splurging on the Delina Eau de Parfum Set.

This set isn’t cheap at $347 but you’re getting well over $500 worth of fragrance with it. It contains a full-size Delina Ea de Parfume at 2.5 oz and a travel-size one at 1 oz. If I didn’t already own a bottle I’d def buy this!

I’m convinced this is what I thought Turkish Delight tasted and smelled like as a child reading the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. When Edmund first followed Lucy into the wardrobe he became lost and confused and ran into the White Witch. The White Witch offers him anything he wants to eat in exchange for him bringing his siblings to her once they get to Narnia. He asks for Turkish Delight. It’s a treat that symbolizes Edmund’s selfishness in some ways and his ability to want something so badly he was willing to hurt others to get it. It should be a treat one wishes to avoid because of this but I admit as a child I was absolutely curious about what it tasted like. I’m lucky enough that I’m a native New Yorker and actually finding such a treat wasn’t terribly hard. After reading the book I remember asking my mother for it and she instantly knew where to find it.

When I first smelled Delina it instantly made me think of Turkish Delight. It’s a sweet, jammy rose with a sultry hint of woods in the background. That sweet jammy rose makes me think of the delightful taste of Turkish Delight.

It’s a heady scent that wears and wears and wears and wears….it just lingers in the air around you, on your bedroom sheets, and on your clothes. It’s quite lovely! Whenever I wear it the top part of the seatbelt in my car smells like a sweet candied rose weeks later.

It’s not cheap but this set is a gorgeous one to take home if you’re a fan of this scent or even if you’ve never tried it before and love rose scents.

It’s part of Nordy’s Anniversary Sale and is available now with free shipping and free returns.

Enjoy!

Tiktok Made Me Do It for My Feets

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Ok, so, I’m having another Tiktok made me do it moment. This time it’s all about footcare. A pharmacist going by the name @angeliapharmd did a video about cracked, dry feet and how to make them smooth again.

I happen to be incredibly dry but lucky enough my feet are rather smooth however, I tend to get dryness on the back of my foot near the ankle. It drives me bonkers and no matter what I do it still looks dry and ashy.

So, I decided to buy the recommended products in this video and I’m going to give them a whirl.

Farmacy Peaches n’ Clean Cleansing Balm You’re Coming Home With Me

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I was wondering when we’d get a new Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm and now I don’t have to wait any longer as Peaches n’ Clean is the newest cleansing balm for Summer 2022.

Farmacy Peaches n’ Clean Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm is a new, limited-edition peach-scented version of Farmacy’s bestselling, award-winning Green Clean cleansing balm that melts away makeup, SPF and dirt. Peaches ’N Clean is infused with upcycled peach kernel oil to help hydrate and soothe the skin as it removes makeup!

Plus, Faramcy will donate 20 meals to Feeding America for every purchase of the new Peaches n’ Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm!

I happen to be a huge fan of the original cleansing balm formula and absolutely adore when they do seasonal scents! I was wondering when we’d get a new version and I thought it would be around Fall 2022 (imagine if they did pumpkin and spice?!?!) but they surprised us with this yummy Summer scent. I love the texture of this. It’s truly one of the softest cleansing balms I’ve tried and it does such a great job removing makeup without stripping my skin!

Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm is available for $36 on Farmacy’s website but should pop up at Sephora later this week.

Will you be indulging?
