Love and Candy! That’s what Valentine’s Day is all about! Coach Love Perfume and YSL Sheer Candy Glossy Balm

fragrancenet goodies from my Instagram @adrienneroyale  

It is Valentine’s Day weekend! Can you believe we are already half way through the month of February? I feel like I was just bringing in the New Year! One of my favorite holidays is Valentine’s Day!  My husband is always extra romantic and makes me dinner and we spend the entire day together!  This year he has a special surprise planned for us and I am so excited, I can’t wait! I have literally been counting down the days! I have been searching for a pretty new pink dress to buy and finally found one! Since I got a new dress, I thought to myself of course I need a new lipstick and perfume to go with it! So that brought me to fragrancenet.com  Well, what is Valentine’s Day all about other than LOVE and CANDY?!?! So I got myself Coach Love Perfume and YSL Sheer Candy Glossy Balm 09 Cool Guava.

Yves Saint Laurent Sheer Candy Lipstick (Glossy Balm Crystal Color) # 09-

I knew there would be lots of kissing throughout the night so I didn’t want a heavy lipstick or liquid lipstick that could crack and dry. I thought a glossy lip balm would be perfect! I was right! This is the most beautiful shinny glossy balm ever, plus it smells amazing! It even taste yummy, I understand why they call it “Candy.” It has a fruity candy taste to it, which I know my husband will love!  You know how guys can hate the taste of lipstick!  


While this glossy balm is a sheer formula, it still gives off a good amount of color payoff.  It’s the prettiest baby pink color with hints of shimmer. This glossy balm is extremely hydrating and feels good on your lips. It is quite long lasting as well. What I really enjoy about this is how you can layer it over a lipstick and give it an extra hint of color and lots of shine! The YSL Sheer Candy glossy Balm is packed with vitamins and antioxidants plus rich fruit extract! This is going to be perfect for our date night! I am going to do a smoky eye with this beautiful baby pink and have pretty pink glossy lips!

 The packaging is just as stunning as the glossy balm! It feels truly luxurious in your hand and the sliver tube with the gold and pink accents with the YSL emblem is perfection!
This is only $34.49 and the only place it is not sold out as of right now! I saw it on Sephora for a few dollars more but they didn’t even have this shade! So make sure you grab it now at Click here


Coach love-

My first birthday my husband and I spent together he bought me a coach handbag and ever since I have been obsessed with anything Coach! While looking around on fragrancenet.com, I saw all of the Coach perfumes they had to offer. Coach Love caught my eye immediately! The packaging on it is stunning with all of the rose gold! I thought it looked perfect for Valentine’s Day!  I wasn’t able to smell it before hand so I really hoped I would enjoy the scent once I got it!

When I first opened my package and saw Coach Love I thought how this bottle was one of the prettiest I had seen! The heart on the bottle and even the box are absolutely adorable and the coach detailing at the top of the cap is gorgeous! The little bow on the cap just topped it all off!


Once I sprayed the perfume I was pleasantly surprised!  It was just as beautiful as a scent, as the bottle itself! It has such a warm and romantic smell to it! It is nothing over powering. It is very light, it has a mixture of a floral scent but with a hint of a woodsy-musk smell to it. It smells young and nothing like “an old lady perfume.” I know I personally dread and worry about that when ordering a fragrance online without smelling it first.

The fragrance notes are- Mandarin, dewberry, green violet, freesia, magnolia, jasmine, gardenia, sandalwood, pachouli, vanilla, musk and caramel.

This is the perfect scent for my Valentine’s Day and I am sure my husband will love it to! I got a 3.4oz bottle and it is only $56.24 but on sale right now with coupon for only $38.99!

I am so excited to start this weekend and even happier it’s a long weekend! I can’t wait to wear all of my new goodies! This is why I always say it is so much fun being a girl! I hope you all have a fabulous Valentine's Day!


Let me know, do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day. Do you buy yourself something special to feel extra pretty?

XOXO

*Quick note* Extra Mini Review!- I wanted to mention really quickly as seen in my pictures I also picked up a YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils in # 01 High Density Black Click here for mascara and Yves Saint Laurent Radiant Touche Eclat in #2 Luminous Ivory Click here for touche Eclat   Both are amazing and a quick little review on each- the mascara I have been using nonstop for about two weeks  and it really helps lengthen my lashes, gives a good amount of volume and is extremely  black which I love! Also I have not experienced any type of flaking or smudging when I wear this. The YSL Touche Eclat is just perfection! I use it on my under eyes and the formula is so buttery and easy to blend! IT instantly makes my skin look flawless and I look more awake and helps brighten me up! I also added in some quick pictures!  Talk to you on my next post!

Valentine’s Day! Poor guys are always left out- Not this year! Gifts for him-Cologne and hair care for the man in your life

Valentine's Gifts for my husband from fragrancenet.

Can you believe it’s already February! Valentine’s Day is in less than two weeks! Everywhere you look you see cute stuffed animals, chocolates, and huge oversized cards! Barely anything for the man in your life! Every year when Valentine’s Day rolls around, I find myself waiting until the last minute and in panic mode to get my husband something he will love. Not this year! Ever since I discovered fragrancenet.com I knew I would find something perfect for my husband!

My husband is a cologne collector, he has more fragrances then I do! I knew his favorite cologne was Ed Hardy Love & Luck so it was a no brainer to pick that up for him and for a 3.4 oz. bottle for $32.99, currently $23.09 with a coupon, made it even better! I also saw on the site that there was another Ed Hardy scent called  Villain. This one is only $22.09 for 4.2oz bottle or $16.09 with a coupon! What a deal! I made sure to get both of those for him.

The bottles are so cute, colorful, and have so much detail! Both smell amazing and are great for any occasion, day or night. I would explain either scent as masculine and fresh! Here are some notes for each-

Love &Luck-
A blend of mandarin, cardamom. bergamot, orange, cypress, violet, absinthe, sage, dark vetiver, agarwood, musk and cedarwood.

Villain-
Black Pepper, Cardamom & French Lavender; mid notes of Egyptian Basil, Indonesian Nutmeg Oil, Wild Sage & Blackcurrant Buds; finish of Amber, Sandalwood, Cedarwood & Musk.


I was thinking what else I could get my husband? I usually get him some type of sappy card and always a boring old gift card to Gamestop or Best Buy, but this year I really wanted to put thought into his gift and get him something he normally doesn’t get himself. While browsing on fragrancenet, I noticed how many hair care products they have.  Since I know how my husband likes his hair to always look cute, I thought I would get him some shampoo and conditioner. I looked through his hair care products and noticed he owns some styling products by American Crew. I searched “American Crew” on the website and found the “American Crew Daily Moisturizing Shampoo for Normal to Dry Hair”  And “Scalp and American Crew Daily Stimulating Conditioner.” I put both in my cart right away! I think he is going to enjoy them! He usually buys his own shampoo, but always uses up my conditioner! Now he will have his own and maybe mine will last longer haha! Both the shampoo and conditioner you can pick up for under $14 with their coupon! The links for these are- Shampoo and Conditioner

I am excited for my husband to open his gifts up on Valentine’s Day! Besides just getting his normal old gift card he will finally have gifts to open and products to enjoy using! If you are not sure what to get the love of your life this Valentine’s Day, you should go to fragrancenet.com.   They have thousands of items and always have an amazing sale going on! Plus their shipping is super-fast and customer service is always amazing! I promise you will find something for the one you love!

Anyone else have the issue of finding your husband or boyfriend something he will love? Or is it just me?! I am so happy this year I was ahead of the game and know my husband will be stoked about his gifts!


What do you plan on getting that special someone this year for Valentine’s Day? Have a Happy Valentines's Day! 

XOXO
