I love vetiver, and (generally) the deeper and darker the better. I get no thrill from Guerlain's Vetiver, for example, which I find too clean, almost soapy-smelling. In the vetiver spectrum, Vetive...

On my recent trip to New York I went to Barney's and splurged on this candle. I can't really add much to what dreamstorm said: it's Tea for Two in candle form, and since I love Tea for Two's spicy, ...

The perfect bubblegum/baby pink color against my pale, cool-toned skin. There are sparkles in this, but they don't seem to really stick to me--I don't see them on my skin after applying anyway. This...
