Created by the house of Gucci, "Bloom" is a perfumer Alberto Morilla's vision of a green fragrance come to life that transports you to a vast garden filled with many flowers and plants, lots of plants.

Gucci "Bloom" Notes

Gucci "Bloom" is a floral perfume with main notes of natural Tuberose, harvested from India that is mixed with natural Jasmine. This perfume also features notes from another plant, used in perfume-making for the first time_ the Rangoon Creeper. Discovered in South India, the Rangoon Creeper embodies the new scent's concept as it changes color from white to pink to red, when it blooms.

                                                         Gucci "Bloom" Design and lasting power

The bottle of "Bloom" is feminine with retro feel. A vintage powder pink shades lacquered porcelain square-shaped bottle, with the Gucci label ribbed and framed in Black. I love the sleek and sophisticated look of this bottle.

As for lasting power, "Bloom" lasts almost all day without being too strong or overwhelming, so you can easily wear during a day.

Gucci "Bloom" perfume


To sum up

Gucci "Bloom" is a lovely perfume to wear during a day, a slightly floral fragrance with strong green notes that makes you feel like you are surrounded by plants and some flowers too. If you are looking for a warm, sweet, earthy perfume for your night out, this is not for you but if you want to try something slightly floral day perfume with green notes, than you may enjoy wearing Gucci "Bloom".

Even though it's an expensive perfume (it's Gucci after all) the bottle lasts for a very long time. I have been using it last two years at least few times a week and and it hasn't finished yet, and  I feel like it will never finish LOL.

Have you used Gucci "Bloom" yet? How you liked the scent? Let me know in the comments below. 

Thanks for reading and commenting.

 Today I want to show you two new products that I had recently added to my everyday makeup routine: Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer. Let me start from the setting powder.

                                   Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder

This Hourglass translucent setting powder is an ultra-refined powder formulated with light-reflecting particles to blur imperfections. As the brand describes, Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting powder blurs the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles for an airbrushed finish.

It features an innovative gold sifter and custom cap which allow for the perfect amount of product to be dispensed. I've never had any issue with it so far. 

Review ofHourglass Veil Translucent Setting powder

You will appreciate the fact that this translucent setting powder doesn't contain talk, so because of that , it leaves an absolutely invisible finish , making it perfect for all skin tones. This powder is also formulated without Parabens.

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting powder review on Ninakobi.com


It's very finely milled so it doesn't leave powdery look on my dry skin. I apply this Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder after my La Mer liquid foundation and it creates an amazing natural finish.

No let's move on to another product from Hourglass: Ambient Lighting Bronzer that I bought in travel size and I'm glad I did, because this bronzer will probably last me forever. 

                                     Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer 

This Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer fuses the illuminating effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with bronze pigments to add depth and dimension for a sun-kissed glow.

The hand-made powders are formulated using an advanced miscelare technique to create the perfect balance of pigment and powder, and no two look alike. This bronzer can be worn alone for subtle warmth and contouring or paired with a setting powder.

I use the darker part of this bronzer as a bronzer, but the lighter part for highlighting, but you can simply use  it as a bronzer. 
I like the fact that it's not too shimmery, even though it has some simmer to it, and just like Hourglass setting powder that I was talking about in this post, this bronzer is also free from Parabens.

These were definitely great addition to my makeup collection but will I repurchase them? __ probably not, because even though I really like both products, I also like to give a try to other products. 

Thanks for reading!

Happy Monday lovelies,
I hope everyone is healthy and safe. I know it took me much longer than you probably expected but I'm back and today I want to share with you my thoughts on this "ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30," as I promised couple of weeks ago.





"ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30" is a lightweight moisturizing Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30 that gives skin Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB coverage, and also, environmental protection, while the lightly tinted formula gives skin a smooth finish.



Couple of things to know about this "ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30:"

  • It's lightly tinted
  • Contains Shea Butter and EveningPrimrose to hydrate skin
  • Contains Green Tea and Cucumber to help smooth and hydrate skin
  • It has UVA/UVB protection
  • It's water resistant up to 80 minutes
  • It's free of mineral oil, parabens, and sulfates.
The number one reason you will enjoy wearing this "ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30" is that it doesn't leave white cast on the skin, like most sunscreens do. Not irritating my sensitive skin is another reason I like this tinted moisturizer.

Now let's talk about the only reason I wouldn't give this product a five star __ it has light tint to it, wich would be perfectly fine but it becomes kind of pink-ish later. You can easily cuver up that pinkish tone with your pressed powder but if you prefer to wear just sunscreen, then it might be the issue for you.  Other than that, I think this is a nice tinted moisturizer with SPF30 in it , especially in this price range.


     
                                                                    Stay safe and stay fabulous!

Happy Monday lovelies,
I hope everyone is safe and staying home. Honestly, I was not sure, it was appropriate to blog during the hardest time of our life when Coronavirus hit the world, and destroyd our everyday routine,  and most importantly, took so many people's life...
But after first few week's of shock _ seeing how this vicious virus affected New York City that is only few miles away from our house, I realized that social distancing was already so hard for people that if we stayed away from social media/blogging, it would put us in absolute social isolation and that is never safe for our health. 

New York City

So, I decided to continue blogging as a way of getting our mind off the shocking news we all read every day, and at least, couple of minutes a day, enjoy reading the topics that we used to enjoy. 
I hope, we will be able to stay positive even during this kind of horrible time and remind ourselves that we will get through this. 

Please, stay home, and stay safe!

I've always been Sephora gal from being Beauty Insider to VIB ROUGE over the years but I recently ended up shopping at Ulta store for the first time, for a particular sunscreen.



Even though I couldn't find that exact product, I purchased this UltaBeauty Mineral Matte Tinted Face Lotion SPF30, and signed up for Ulta Reward Program which is free.




As a welcome gift, I received this cute pink makeup bag, also, BareMinerals Prime Time Original foundation primer, Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Peeling mousse (which I yet to use) and these cute Invisi Bobble traceless hair rings.



I am going to do a quick review of this UltaBeauty Mineral Matte Tinted Face Lotion on Wednesday, so far it seems like a good sunscreen option for my skin. Have you used any of these products? Let me know in the commnets below.
Wish you all a wonderful first week of March.
