EILISH BY BILLIE EILISH // FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-

Eilish Eau de Parfum is Billie Eilish's debut fragrance launch that was released at the end of 2021. It also marks Billie's first venture into the beauty industry with a launch that represents her and her personal brand so perfectly. I have been using the fragrance all year and have been absolutely loving it! 

"I wanted it to feel like a warm embrace. It’s a scent that I’ve been chasing for years and years and years. It’s my favorite smell in the world," she said when the product launched last year. A "warm embrace" is exactly what I would use to describe this scent as well, it is just so soft and warm, mixed with a little bit of sweetness that creates the most amazing aroma. The brand's website says "this is a scent for everyone" and it is marketed as a unisex fragrance, which is great because the notes will definitely appeal to a wide range of users. 


I love the packaging, it is a beautiful gold model of half of Billie's head and bust with angular cuts throughout. It is such a unique design that looks like it could be a work of art when sitting on your vanity! "The inspiration for this campaign was an appreciation for the human body. It’s really about embracing yourself, being confident, and loving how you look and the way you feel. I wanted it to be very inviting, but also intimidating, comforting and a little bit romantic and dreamy," Billie said for the campaign launch. 


I love when fragrance brands don't only use standard stock bottles and instead create something new and eye-catching for the product. It feels as if the bottle is made out of metal, so it's quite heavy and sturdy. The cap part of the bottle is the head and collarbone area of the bust, which you can pull off and see a standard perfume spray applicator underneath. When I first started using this fragrance it was actually very difficult to open and kind of awkward to hold, but over time it has loosened up and is much easier now. 
 

Top - sugared petals, mandarin, warm berries
Middle - creamy vanilla, soft spices, cocoa
Base - sleek woods, warm musks, tonka beans

I absolutely love this scent, from the first time I tried it I knew it was instantly going to be my new favorite fragrance. The strongest notes are the vanilla and the warm musks, but it is different than any other vanilla based or musky fragrance I have smelled before. I think that's because the scent is elevated by the other fruity notes listed like the mandarin and berries, but also the soft spices are also very prevalent at first. It creates such a beautiful aroma of a warm and slightly musky vanilla. 

The longevity of this scent is amazing, it is definitely the most long-lasting fragrance I own. The scent lasts all day on the skin, sometimes even longer, which is often hard to find especially at this price point. If you spray it on your clothes it lasts even longer! I have used fragrances that are way more expensive and are completely faded in an hour. Sometimes with celebrity fragrances, companies can skimp on the quality for the sake of profit, but that clearly isn't the case with Eilish. The only other celebrity fragrance brand I can wholeheartedly recommend is Ariana Grande's, which in every way is on par quality wise with Eilish. I would love to see Billie's fragrance brand grow into what Ariana's has become over the years too. 

The most important part though is that it is not too overpowering or strong when you're wearing it. Although it does last a very long time, whether it is sprayed directly on your skin or on your clothes, it more so creates a beautiful warm aroma around you. I keep using the term "warm" because that really is the best way to describe how it smells and the essence it gives. Although this works great for any season, I'm excited to wear this fragrance this autumn and winter because it feels like it will compliment that time of year so nicely. 

As I said before this is marketed as a scent for everyone, which is a claim that fits this so well because it is formulated with both traditionally feminine and masculine notes, but balances out to a blend that is very neutral. I would maybe say it is slightly more of a feminine leaning scent, but it is all personal preference and based on your body chemistry. 

This fragrance is vegan, cruelty free, paraben free and made with clean ingredients. The box is also made of biodegradable materials. In the fragrance industry, it can be difficult to find products that are made ethically and sustainably, but I love how that is a cause that Billie has always promoted and carries it through in every aspect of her branding. 

I have been using Eilish all year, it is my everyday go-to scent and one that I will definitely be repurchasing when I inevitably use it all! I'm hoping she continues to grow her line of fragrance because her first launch is truly one of the best products I have ever used! Also expanding the line of the Eilish fragrance into candles, body lotions, soaps, etc. is something I'm hoping happens in the future too! 

This fragrance is available in the US and Canada at billieeilishfragrance.com and at certain retailers worldwide as well. I purchased mine at Ulta, which carries three sizes; 1 oz for $48, 1.7 oz for $58, and 3.4 oz for $68. For reference, I have the 3.4 oz bottle, which is shown in all of the photos throughout this review. There are also travel sizes and special gift boxes available on their website as well.

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

fruitcake by Sabrina Carpenter // green vinyl + EP review

-
Image
Sabrina Carpenter 's  Fruitcake is equal parts naughty and nice - two traits that she has always embodied so well in her music. Every single song on this EP is so much fun to listen to, I absolutely love it. It has been so long since there was a really great original holiday album like this, I can truly see so many of these songs becoming annual Christmas classics.  This EP is full of glittering and cheeky holiday anthems that fit really well into the rest of Sabrina's discography. It is especially akin to emails i can't send and Short n' Sweet , which are her two best albums. So much of her personality and charm is all over this music much in the same way as those two albums. Fruitcake features six songs, five of them are original holiday tracks that she wrote with her frequent collaborators; John Ryan, Steph Jones, Amy Allen , and Julien Bunetta. The closing song on the EP is called "white xmas", a beautiful rendition of the holiday classic which also inte...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...
