parfum a la toilette



Thi's mom wrks at the perfume counter so i guess she gets tons of free samples. after polo, she pulls out these cute little spritzers in little adorable glass bottles. nice, ive always really liked free samples. not cause im so cheap but because they come in miniture containers. i also keep the hotel shampoos and lotion when i go on vacation( i have quite a collection) mainly i use them when i go camping cause theyre the perfect size and i have so many to choose from! i also have stuff like a mini packet of hazelnut starbucks grinded coffee. (i have to renember to use that...) nightcream samples, face scrubs and other random shit like that. i aslo like costco cause the samples. they had ice cream mochi one time and i came back like five times till' they didn't let me have anymore:-( dang nabbit that is one of the charms of life. you hafta try some. or ur missing out. they sell a pack of six for 4.00s. the mochi is about lime sized.
buuuut. anyhow ( i bunnytrail quite a lot) about the parfume' i snagged a giorgo beverly hills blue. sounds decagent! haha, smells really good though. i sprayed it in my hair after i showered. a signiture scent is something that ive always found...romantic. like, a lady walks out of the parlor and leaves a lingering smell of vanilla, cherry wood, and musk and leaves the poor bumbled suitor clutching at his kerchief' and sighing. haha.
they perfume i used smells delish but how are you exactly supposed to find the scent? at sephora they have a wall full of bottles with names like, everlasting love, forbidden touch, prima dona, mademoselle, cashmere mist, fairytales... they all sound nice but. you still have to actually smell them yourself to see which one you like. how am i supposed to find the perfect scent when after spritzing yourself with about four different brands they all start to smell the same? i think when im older im going to spent a day just smelling the entire stores' inventory.does nose cancer exist? hmmm im quite partial to the bottles with the bulb pump thingy. they look so...classy. like, you sit in front of your vanity mirror in your negilee with a atomizer. i can imagine someone like marilyn monroe or audry hepburn. know what i mean? classy classy.
i think the brand with the prettiest scent bottle makes the most money. the nicest one have like, a chrystal top with charms.or a slim silhouette with deep purple tint. something that looks magical. like a secret potion. i would go for the vintagey ones with a pump. they look so adorable. juicy couture has a super nice bottle. but, im guessing a lot of ladies have that. cause its juicy couture. they could sell socks for 60 dollars. ive seen it. but, i like a boutique-esk fragrance. because its unique. being different is sorta a big deal for me. i hate looking like just another asian girl. thats why im not going to shop at hollister/ american eagle/pacsun/abercrombie ect ect... trying to go for the vintage, thrifting look. really nice. bloggers put there outfits up and what ive noticed is they get really nice dresses from goodwill, salvation and shorten it. so it looks less frumpy and old. has that worn in, carless grace sorta vibe. really love that. mmm...gotta find my scent. ill check anthropologie. hellaaa cute stuff. so expensive though! its alright if youre willing to spend the money to get a really good item. they have those pheasant blouses with the intracite details i like. lace and embroiderary. the leather bags are also something you would give up a body part for. a lung maybe . lots of the dresses are the dress up, dress down kinds. they look good with anything and always flattering. if you know how to wear it of course. definently check that place out and see if they have any end of season sales. i would die! think ill go when i shop at american apparel wit vicky this weekend or so. exiting~
been saving up for the dresses and also have an eye on their stockings and sunglasses. im a sunglass junkie. mmm, also a strappy sandal freak. and i have a scarf,bandanna, wrap fetish. i can never buy enough. perfect too cause i live in the bay area where its warm all the time. eek! so much shopping i have to do. cant wait to get my chrismas/ new years/ birthday/li si cash!!!! i love this time of the year. the cash keeps on flowin. hha. im not that shallow and greedy though. i spend a lot on my friends and cousins fer christmas. i have to pick a perfect gift for my special peeps. i would scourstores and online shop till my eyes hurt. oh! b4 i ferget. my aunt recently purchased a new home. its a model home so she can move in in about a few weeks. she also has a converted garage that is a guest house. its not connected ( no door entrace straight to house) and has bed and bathroom. im gonna stay there with my bro when we go up fer quan's bday.:-) so cool! its really nice, she lives in sacramento so the homes are cheaper, bigger, nicer. so lucky. buuut. i perfer to live here. you can really live you know? like, hang at the mall, walk down the street, hang at friends house, hike at park, feed ducks. up there thyre all kinda more formal and rich.i love going up there though. anyhow i tend not to get new years money cause my birthdays on 1/1 anyhow. poo. oh well. i can always get a job this summer.my list so far of what i need before i die
