It’s spring time and, even though it’s not the beginning of the year, it is always the time when I start to look for new fragrances to buy. I enjoy searching for new fragrances during this time of the year because my favorite types of fragrances are more suitable for spring and summertime. This year, I found many new fragrances, and some past released fragrances, I want to add to my fragrance collection. It has been a year since I wrote a post about which new fragrances I want to purchase, so I decided to write a new and updated post for this year.

Favorite Dior Beauty Atelier of Dreams Gift Sets for Holiday 2021
After waiting for weeks for Dior to release their beauty gift sets, Dior has finally released them for purchase. I wanted to buy one as a self gift, but after looking at my beauty product collection, I’m confident that I won’t need anything until mid 2022. Despite this, I enjoyed looking at Dior’s gift sets on their official website.
Even though I have no plans to buy myself anything until 2022, I wanted to share my favorite gift sets from Dior’s official website. Since this is just for fun, I included some products that will be well out of many people’s price ranges (Including mine) but I liked the look of or the products anyway.

Further Thoughts On The New Miss Dior 2021 Scent (And In Store Photos of The Fragrance)
Back in September, the Ulta Beauty I usually frequent released the new Miss Dior eau de parfume. The scent is a new version of Miss Dior for 2021 and I wanted to smell it. When I saw the perfume for sale, and a test bottle available to use, I took the opportunity to smell the scent and see if I like it enough to purchase whenever I have the money to do so.
Thoughts on the New Miss Dior Fragrance
On September 1, 2021, Dior released a new commercial about the new version of the iconic Miss Dior fragrance. I used to love the Miss Dior fragrance, but after Dior changed from the 2006 version into the next version of the fragrance, I didn’t like it so much.
After the 2006 version, Dior began to turn Miss Dior towards a more woody and heavier scent. I know of many people who love the newer versions of Miss Dior, but I personally loved the lighter scent of the 2006 version. Because of this, I tried to search for a new fragrance that was light and floral to replace Miss Dior in my fragrance collection.
The first time I heard there would be a new version of Miss Dior in the commercial released on YouTube.
After seeing it, I felt indifferent about the new fragrance. I didn’t like the other versions of the fragrance, so I figured I wouldn’t like this version. When I did some research on the new fragrance’s notes, I became more curious about the scent.
The description for the 2021 Miss Dior Eau de Parfum on Dior’s website is as follows…
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum reinvents itself with a new scent.
In 1947, Miss Dior was born out of a wild impetus where the pressing desire to re-enchant women’s lives and open up their eyes to the sparkling colors of love again was felt. Following a bleak period, this scent was synonymous with renewed happiness, poetry, and harmony for Christian Dior at that time. Miss Dior intrigues, excites and invites us to marvel at love and all the beauty in the world.
Echoing its inspiring character, the new Miss Dior fragrance is like an olfactory “millefiori”. Centifolia Rose, with its honeyed and peppery notes, reigns over a delectably creamy velvet heart. It is embroidered with fresh Lily-of-the-Valley notes, an apricot-tinged Peony accord, and powdery Iris notes. Miss Dior is thus built around an elegant, striking bouquet––like a “millefiori” that seems to carry countless flowers in endless colors. At the base, slight notes of tender wood envelop the composition.
The new Miss Dior Eau de Parfum now boasts a vibrant, pointillist couture, poignard fabric bow, with a truly unique assortment of florals. As such, a few centimeters of pure luxury is tied around the bottle’s neck. Beneath the bottle, the emblematic Miss Dior houndstooth motif is engraved in the glass.
The scent, which has it’s signature rose in it, also has floral notes of Lilly of the Valley, Peony, and Iris. I love how floral heavy it is, but I still am worried about about the base notes, which is wood. Wood is often times paired with some type of musk, so I’m worried the scent will aggravate my allergies to the point I won’t like it. Still, this fragrance is adverstised as having “floral and fresh notes”, so it peaks my interest enough to find it and test it in store. I hope it will smell good and won’t aggravate my allergies!
Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
Macy’s Spring 2020 VIP Beauty Sale Favorites
Around this time of the year, Ulta and Sephora have their semi annual sales. Although I enjoy shopping them, there is another beauty product sale I enjoy shopping: Macy’s VIP sale.
Macy’s held their VIP sale for many years, but I didn’t start shopping the beauty portion of the VIP sale until a few years ago. After seeing the amount of beauty products available for sale as well as discounts Sephora and Ulta do not offer on certain brands and products, I always make sure to shop the Macy’s sale as well as the Sephora and Ulta sales. I received an email today from Macy’s saying the sale is on, so I wanted to share my favorite beauty products that are part of the sale. All the products in this post, as well as all beauty products in the sale, are 15% off regular price and do not require a membership or qualifying order to get a discount.

Sephora Fragrance Samples-June 2017
Sorry this post is so late! Life got suddenly became very busy, so I had to put this post on hold longer than I wanted to.
In early June 2017, I ordered new makeup from Sephora. If you ordered from Sephora’s website before, you know that Sephora lets you order three free samples with your order. These do change, so it’s the luck of the draw for what Sephora lets you order as free samples. This month, I felt like I hit the free sample jackpot. Three fragrances were on the free sample list were fragrances I wanted to try: Dior’s Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming, Chloe’s Love Story, and Philosophy’s Amazing Grace.
Even though I’ve heard wonderful things about all three fragrances, I’m very hesitant about purchasing fragrances, expectantly high end designer fragrances such as ones from Dior and Chanel. This is because I’ve had a sensitivity to perfumes, colones, and body sprays smell for most of my life. Since I have sensitive lungs, I don’t normally wear any sort of fragrance and didn’t want to purchase any of these fragrances without sampling smelling it first.
