La Vie Est Belle by Lancome was launched in 2012 and it's a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance. I think this fragrance is such a classic that everyone has at least smelled it once in their life. The opening gives me a burst of pear and black currant and as it settles, I start to smell the jasmine. It has praline, vanilla, patchouli and tonka bean in it's base notes, so it comes to no surprise that this is a very sweet scent. 

La Vie Est Belle is a familiar scent which is normal seeing as this is a well known fragrance. It's sweet and warm and very long lasting. This fragrance has an excellent sillage, you can always tell if someone is wearing it. However, because it's so known and almost everyone I know uses it, it's no longer as unique to me as it once was. I personally don't reach for it as much as when it was first released but I still think it's a beautiful scent! 

The newest La Vie Est Belle addition, LVEB Soleil Cristal is a Chypre Floral fragrance launched in 2021. In my opinion, it's so different than the original LVEB and definitely not as sweet. I think that's the reason I love it so much. The bottle is so unique and beautiful and it made me want this fragrance before I even smelled it. 

I don't really smell the top notes of this fragrance, I immediately start to smell a beautiful mix of Ylang-Ylang, Iris, Jasmine, Vanilla and Coconut and as it settles, the coconut and vanilla become even more apparent. It's the perfect scent for summer, although I can see myself wearing it all year round. You either like coconut or you don't. If you do, you'll enjoy this scent as much as I did. I think I'd buy this bottle even if I didn't like the scent simply because it's so unique and gorgeous! 

Out of the two, I personally prefer the Soleil Cristal version, however I think the original La Vie Est Belle is a safer blind buy from the two. Don't get me wrong, I love the original but I've been smelling it for as long as I can remember and it's no longer the scent I'd reach for. When it comes to the Soleil Cristal, I really like the added Coconut note. It makes the scent perfect for summer and once you smell it, you can literally imagine yourself at the beach. I'd say go for the newest version if you like coconut in your fragrances and reach for the original if you prefer sweeter and much warmer scents. 

I wanted to say big thank you to Lancome once again for gifting me their La Vie Est Belle fragrance! I really enjoyed comparing the two scents together. Let me know down below in the comments which of the two you'd prefer - I'd love to see what you guys think! xo

This highlighter palette has two different textures - a pearlescent creamy shade and three light-catching pressed pearl hues. It's inspired by Huda's hack of layering oil with powder highlighter to amplify her glow. The Melted Strobe, a pearlescent creamy formula enriched with Karite butter, creates a flawless, lit-from-within canvas for layering powders. The other three shades are light-catching pressed pearls, in complimentary tones to give you sculpted, 3D radiance. 

I found this set by actually searching for a nice, high-end highlighter palette to add to my collection. Pink Sands is the perfect shade match for my fair skin tone, so I really couldn't say no to this kit. I usually stick to whiter highlighter shades as gold tones don't really suit my skin tone but I have to admit AZORES is the perfect shade of gold for fair skin tones. I really love the look of the melted strobe CAPRI as it gives the skin such a natural glow and can be worn on it's own. Since I love my white highlighters I'm also obsessed with SANTORINI and love to apply it on top of AZORES.

Resting Boss Face is Huda's first, extra-hold setting spray for the ultimate matte finish. It's described to deliver a comfortable, matte finish without leaving your skin feeling dry. 

I've seen so many mixed reviews of this setting spray - some loved it and some really didn't. Skindinavia's Bridal spray has always been my go-to setting spray but I was excited to test out Huda's and see if maybe I will like it better. I wish someone had warned me from the first spray because a really strong smell of hair-spray just hits your entire face. Soon after, it turns into the lovely scent that all of Huda's products have and I love it. However, the initial spray is definitely very strong and although it says it's safe to apply directly to the eyes, I would avoid it. The first time I sprayed it onto my entire face without covering my eyes, just closing them, my eyes kept tearing up for another hour or two. The finish is definitely matte and this setting spray definitely keep your makeup locked in for hours. I do really like it and see myself using it more often but I would definitely recommend covering your eyes when using it especially if your eyes are sensitive like mine. 

The Glow Getter set also includes the Basic B sponge and a makeup bag. I actually didn't expect the makeup bag to be as big as it is which I love because it will be perfect when travelling. The Basic B sponge is a double-sided applicator designed for applying and blending formulas to create a perfectly flawless complexion. I really like it, it's very soft and easy to use. I could even compare it to the original beauty blender and I'm happy I got to try it with this set.

Created by women for women, Idôle was launched in 2019 and is a Chypre Floral fragrance. It's described as a fresh fragrance with notes of rose, jasmine and chypre. It comes in a sleek, refillable bottle to support a more sustainable future. Dedicated to women who dare to dream, who defy expectations, to the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. Strong, Outspoken and Empowered - the women who look to themselves for the inspiration they need to rewrite the future.

The opening of Idôle gives me a burst of a strong, juicy pear and bergamot. Soon after you start to smell the Rose and the Jasmine and as it settles throughout the day, you also get to smell its bottom notes of musk and vanilla. I find Idôle to be very light and fresh but also super powerful. It's a fragrance that definitely makes a statement - after all it was created for all women. I personally really love this scent and see myself reaching for it throughout the day as well as on a night out. It's truly beautiful and has an excellent staying power and projection. I was really surprised to see so many negative opinions about it because for me it's a great fragrance, one I would definitely repurchase myself. 

I also have to talk about the bottle of this fragrance - it's the thinnest one I have ever seen. It's really simple but pretty and what I like the most about it is that it's refillable. The only issue is that it doesn't really stand on its own but I still managed to place it nicely in my fragrance stand. 

Besides having the same bottle shape and similar longevity, I find these two scents to be completely different. Idôle's top notes of pear and bergamot make it sweeter and as it settles throughout the day, you start to smell the florals with vanilla and musk. On the other hand, Idôle L'Intense has a stronger opening of roses and orange which adds bitterness to the smell and it's more spicy and aromatic. 

Lancome has launched their new Lash Idôle mascara at the end of January of this year. The mascara features a pioneering brush and revolutionary formulation, providing an instant lash lift, fanned-out volume effect with a weightless feel. Lash Idôle's revolutionary gel-emulsion formulation glides effortlessly over lashes to create a cushion-like coating. It's formula is infused with white tea extract, chosen to help maintain lash condition. This mascara is also ophthalmologist tested and suitable for sensitive eyes. 

Firstly, I want to thank Lancome for reaching out and sending me this mascara to try out. I am always looking forward to trying new makeup and review them for you guys. I received this early morning and have been wearing it ever since. My first impression - wow! Lash Idôle mascara is very easy to apply on the eyes and has a nice gel-like formula. What I love about it the most is that just after one layer, you can already see its full effect, however you can still apply more for a fuller look. Just as described, this mascara is clump-free and it doesn't leave your eyes with the horrible spider effect. It made my lashes look much longer than they naturally are and it has this false-lashes effect which I love. In addition, the mascara is very lightweight which makes it so comfortable to use.

I also enjoyed the Lash Idôle mascara's brush - it's arch curved and it was engineered to capture every single lash, while its arc shape means it adapts to the lash fringe ensuring that even the smallest lashes are coated. I think the packaging also stands out from my other mascara's - it's sleek and modern and has a beautiful rose-gold touch added to it with graphic black accents and curved edges. 

In the past, I would only use waterproof mascaras because my eyes tear a lot, especially if I'm outside and it's windy. However, I was really surprised because although Lancome's mascara is not waterproof, it didn't smudge or flake at all even after I have went out for my daily walk and it's quite windy today! I have now been wearing it for 6 hours and it looks exactly the same as when first applied. I am definitely going to be using this mascara more and if you remember my last mascara review, I much prefer the Lash Idôle over the Dior Lash Extension Effect Volume mascara. Seeing as it also comes in a travel size, it's a mascara I would recommend everyone to try because I'm sure you will love it just as much as I do. 

Once again, thank you Lancome for gifting me this mascara - I truly enjoyed using it! 

Let me know down below if you have tried Lancome's newest mascara and what other Lancome products (fragrance included) would you like me to review next? xo

Get Even Rose Oil locks in moisture, illuminates your tone and grants a glass-skin finish. It has 15 exceptionally nourishing oils, including Rosehip and Damascus rose and it's non-comedogenic. Carrot seed oil helps to moisturise and tighten your skin as it evens tone and texture. Plus, vitamin-rich baobab seed oil supplies your skin with omegas 3, 6 and other fatty acids to provide intensive nourishment. As Huda Kattan herself says - it's a genie in a bottle. 

I received the Get Even Rose Oil in 10ml as a part of Wishful's Xmas gift set and after hearing so many mixed reviews on it, I decided to test it out myself. Firstly, I see a lot of people complain about it's scent. However, the Rose Oil has no added fragrance and the actual scent comes from the mix of the 15 oils. Personally, I don't think the scent is that bad and it's easy to get used to. My skin is very sensitive and although it's neither dry or oily, it does breakout easily, so I am very careful when it comes to using skincare products. I've tried almost every Wishful product and always had a great experience with all of them, especially the Thirst Trap serum which is my new Holy Grail! 

Get Even Rose Oil is not your typical oil as it absorbs really quick comparing to other oils I've tried and it leaves my skin looking very radiant. You truly only need a tiny bit of the product and it will most likely last you a long time. After using it for a month, I did notice my dark spots fading away and disappearing. However, as I don't really have any acne scars or hyperpigmentation, I don't find this oil as a necessary part of my skincare routine. However, if you do have any dark spots, acne scars and hyperpigmentation I do strongly believe you will love this product.

Get Even Rose Oil should be used daily as the last step in your skin care routine (exception if you're using Wishful's Honey Balm, then apply Rose Oil before). For best results, use in the morning and at night. Apply generously to face and décolleté. Gently pat until fully absorbed. 

I have never been disappointed in Wishful's products including the Get Even Rose Oil and I've tried almost every single one of them. This oil is very lightweight and absorbs really quickly into your skin, without leaving it looking greasy. You really only need a tiny bit of the product for a solid punch of hydration. My skin really enjoyed it and although being sensitive, the scent from the oils didn't really affect my skin in any way. I do think this is the perfect product if you're someone struggling with acne marks, dark spots or hyperpigmentation. You can also now try out the product in a travel size (10ml) before you purchase the full bottle.

I hope you have enjoyed this review! Let me know down below your thoughts about the Wishful's Get Even Rose Oil. Do you have any Wishful favourites? xo
