Live Irresistible by Givenchy is a haven for scent lovers like me. This fruity feminine scent grabs hold of your senses and leaves you basking in its deliciousness for hours on.

For those fleeting few seconds of winter in Dubai, I usually prefer Chloe by Chloe. However, since I got my hands on Live Irresistible, during the day time I find myself drawn to the spicy rose notes mixed with amber and the juicy pineapple notes uplifts my mood.



Keeping in mind, that the tricky part with perfume is how the scent develops depends on your body chemistry. Some may feel it too fruity and floral while others are able to identify the spicy notes to their liking.

I like to spritz it on 2 pulse points - wrists and base of the neck - as it helps intensify the scent. Ladies, never waste a good perfume spraying it on your clothes. It does nothing to enhance the lasting power but ends up distorting the fragrance and staining your clothes at times.

Top Notes: Juicy Pineapple 

Heart Notes: Spicy Rose

Base Notes: Amber Accord

Live Irresistible can be found at Sephora and Paris Gallery.

As always I am elated to feature more of local brands and designers, bringing more focus to our own homegrown fashion industry. Today the spotlight is on Bitter Sugar.

Did you know this glass slipper worn by Lilly James in the upcoming live-action remake of the classic fairytale Cinderella, is produced by Swarovski in collaboration with Academy Award winning costume designer Sandy Powell. To celebrate the release of the movie, Disney Consumer Products (DCP) has enlisted 9 luxury shoe designers to recreate the magic of the famed glass slipper.

By now you know that I love receiving these monthly surprises from Glambox. One of the products missing in the picture is the Revivogen Bio-Cleansing Shampoo (I forgot to take it out of the shower. A big Oops!). Not to worry, I have definitely remembered to pen down my thoughts on it.

Red velvet cakes/ cupcakes have become an all time favorite dessert for most, with color and flavor being the main attraction point. Here's whats interesting.. these cupcakes originally used Beetroot for the coloring which was later substituted for artificial food color. Beetroot, Yummy(?).
