Coco Mademoiselle Is A True Friend

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: very popular, expensive

...Before I go into any of the details of this review, I need to mention that I refer the the EDP (Eau de Parfum) version of this fragrance. Generally, different perfume concentrations used to mean just that - different percentages of the same combination of perfume oils, and different quantities of alcohol. It could happen that the different alcohol ratios could make the respective versions smell slightly differently on some people. But that was all. In the last few years, however, there is an increasing tendency, to not just tweak the notes into different proportions to each other, but to actually change the fragrance notes significantly. A Chanel representative explained that generally the higher the concentration, the higher the emphasis on the fruity/spicy/woody notes. And the lower the concentration, the greater the emphasis on floral...

Creme de la mer face cream

Advantages: You see results quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I had heard about crème de la mer in the press & looked at the price & thought how ridiculously overpriced. Even though I was intrigued I thought there's no way I can justify spending that much. However things were about to change - fast forward to 3 years later & I have had the worst skin problems with spots & scarring - they seemed never ending & I was beginning to get fed up of always having horrible skin. Then one day complaining to a friend she recommended using crème de la mer. She has been using it for about 5 years & has the most amazing skin - so off I went to Selfridges & got the 30ml pot - I thought I don't want to splash out too much so I thought I'll use this size to try it out. I've been using the creme morning & night on recommendation of my friend to get maximum benefits - this has worked very well for me. It also...

Chanel, Coco Mademoselle

Advantages: Suitable for day or evening wear
Disadvantages: costly

...I have always liked the Chanel range of perfumes but felt that because they are quite heavy and spicey they are only really suitable for evening time. However, recently Chanel have launched a lighter more flowery perfume called Coco Mademoselle. Because it is quite pricey at between £45 and £60 a bottle I could not justify buying it for myself. So I was delighted when my staff who obviously think I am just a wonderful boss bought me some for Christmas!! This fragrance appears to appeal to both male and females as I have had many compliments whilst wearing it. It also has great staying power, usually most perfumes will dissappear half way through the day however, I find that I prefer to use it as an evening perfume probably due to the fact that it is so expensive and I want it to last as long as possible. Coco Chanel comes in...

Cookoo About Coco Mademoiselle

Advantages: Smells Devine & Sexy
Disadvantages: Expensive

...myself wearing it more often, to my boyfriends delight. He couldnt stop smelling me lol lol lol. I Also have to admit that I used to get asked "mmmm what perfume you wearing" when I was out. That always makes you feel good too. My I add not just by females but by men too - bonus if your single ;-) ****Fragrance**** Well like I said before the fragrance smells devine. Coco Mademoiselle is a light, sensual and captivating Eau de Parfum. Sparkling, lively top notes of orange and bergamot. Followed by clear, pure middle notes, with accords of jasmine petals and morning rose. Doesnt that just sound devine in its self?? Finally, clean notes of patchouli express a discreet sensuality. COCO MADEMOISELLE is a completely new interpretation of COCO. A modern oriental fragrance, fresh and sensual. Sensual you might say, yes as it drives men wild...

Review of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette Spray

Another Chanel classic - Coco Mademoiselle

Advantages: Elegant
Disadvantages: Pricey

...I was given some vouchers for House of Fraser a year or two ago and decided I would use them to get some new perfume as I had recently finished a couple of bottles. So I decided to look at what was 'hot' on the makeupalley site and coco mademoiselle was in the top five so I thought I would look into that. Turns out it is an incredibly popular fragrance. Apparently Chanel designed this perfume because they felt that people viewed their Coco perfume as being for a more mature market and they thought they were missing out on the younger section of society so they decided to use Coco as inspiration and redesign it with a fresh new take. There have been quite a few famous faces advertising this including Kate Moss (though I think that was probably back in 2001 when the fragrance was launched as I dont' remember it of late) and the campaign...

Review of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette Spray

Coco Chanel- ohhh Mademoiselle

Advantages: A fragrence which although long lasting does not kill your sense of smell
Disadvantages: Intoxication- is that necessarily a BAD thing?

...As any fashion conscious or remotely media-aware person, will know, Coco Chanel is the epitome of high quality and class. However, the original market for Chanel perfumes has traditionaly been for the middle-aged/ mature lady with her string pearled necklace. Coco Chanel have redressed the niche of the younger market to whom they have been missing out with the launch of this new perfume- Mademoiselle. In a strikingly familiar basic yet classical aesthetics, the box of the perfume is subtle and is not garish like some other brands of perfume ( of which I shall not name). The lid of the box is gold with the emblem of Chanel embossed on the top. The box itself is a pearlescent white, with simple inscriptions about the fragrance. One of the greatest pleasures is when you open the box, you get a subtle hint of the ragrance which makes you...

Review of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Toilette Spray

Coco Mademoiselle

Advantages: Light and sweet smelling
Disadvantages: Possibly a bit sickly sweet

...I was bought a bottle of Coco mademoiselle as a present having been told that I was too young to wear Coco. Being completely honest, I don't think I would buy it for myself. It's a nice scent, a bit sweet but not too much like choking on honey. It just isn't very interesting though. It's like a dummed down version of coco, as well as the "young" version. Having said that, I do wear it and I do like it, it's just not my favourite scent. I especially don't wear it if I know I'm going on a long car journey as it seems to exacerbate my car-sickness. But I'm sure that's just me. The bottle itself is beautiful. Very classic chanel... So if you're a Chanel fan, you'll probably like this, and if you're looking for something a bit special but not too heavy, this could be for you....

Review of Molton Brown Ultra Smooth Coco de Mer Body Lotion

I'm having a NAKED bath, can you pop my bubbles?

Advantages: Nice, sexy smell, moisterising and everlasting bubbles
Disadvantages: None unless you don't like the smell!

...When I went on my last visit to the UK, I wandered off to my favourite shop BOOTS to observed their latest offers and new ranges of products; at the same time I looked for the "NAKED" range of toiletries and body care as I have tried them before and I liked what I "experienced"! I found a Coco de mer gift set containing bath foam, body oil, soap and a candle which I couldn't resist. Before sharing the details about me getting "naked" with you, I have to talk briefly about the product's Brand name, the need for natural ingredients . . . and a lot more. Who is ''NAKED''? Naked products are made using mostly native and natural extracts with no harsh-on-skin chemical components; they always make an effort to minimise the usage of synthetic ingredients. Naked products are free from Petrochemicals, commonly...

Review of Naked Coco de Mer Sensual Skin Foam Bath

Creme de la Mer: thumbs down

Advantages: leaves skin moisturized for long
Disadvantages: overpriced, overrated,no SPF

...between fingertips before tapping it on the face,but my fingers absorbed most of the cream!Does it mean I will have wrinkle-free finger tips?? The Creme de la Mer, ladies and gentlemen, DOES NOT contain a SPF, which means that, although I spent a fortune for this cream, I have to spend even more for another cream with SPF (and would I apply it before or after the Creme de la Mer?).This is not acceptable, everyone knows about the risks of skin cancer and if I pay a fortune for a face cream then it has to be perfect. That was the bad news.The good news, however, is that excellent creams DO exist. Instead of wasting money on a product that is mainly famous because VIP use it ( sure...Victoria Beckham looks like that because she uses Creme de la Mer, not because she has Botox injections, and Restylane fillings...) you'd better off investing...
