Chloe Love Story EDT




New from Chloe is Love Story just in time for the season of hearts, Valentines Day.

Whether you love, hate or are just meh with the  V day thing, a beautiful fragrance is always in season and the soft roses of the Chloe line are simply pretty.


Love Story is  a light , dewy floral with more flowers in there than just rose. It's a bouquet with  sunny orange blossom, jasmine and prunus flower, the latter lending a green note. I get  hints of bright citrus as well , likely from the orange blossom as there are no specific citrus notes listed. The drydown brings cedrawood, barely there , just enough woods to ground everything.

This  feels perfect for chilly Winter days into sunnier Spring ones. Wafting from your favorite sweater or scarf, it has medium sillage. It's not so light as to be barely there but isn't strong either. It could easily be worn anywhere , anytime. Chloe Love Story doesn't reinvent the wheel, but if you like this type of scent, and especially if you are rose or white floral fan, it's worth a sniff. Also for an EDT it lasts fairly long.


Chloe Love Story EDT is  LE and exclusive to Sephora .  Retail is $ 115 for 2.5 oz .

MAC Flocking Fabulous Lipstick- Flaming Park


There is a whole lipcolor range to go with the bright and beautiful blushes of MAC's Flamingo Park.

Flocking Fabulous is a deep coral that has a bit of red to it. MAC calls it deep coral red. The pigment is super rich and deep for a just went to Palm Beach Lilly Pulitzer look. I love corals ,stockpiling them  and this makes a great addition.

The Cremesheen with pearl formula is a fun Spring /Summer shade. It's more unexpected in Winter but why not ?  It will brighten any cloudy day   and out a smile on your lips.

MAC Flocking Fabulous is $ 17 and available now.
