Sofia Vergara Tempting Eau De Parfum

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Sofia Vergara Tempting Eau De Parfum. This fragrance contains the following notes: pineapple, acai berry and mandarin blossom (top notes), passion flower, vanilla orchid and star jasmine (heart notes), and musk, vanilla and sandalwood (base notes).

I’ve given this fragrance a try, and I didn’t care for it. I gave it another try, and another, and another… but this fragrance is just not good. Don’t believe anyone who says this fragrance smells like Deseo. It doesn’t. Deseo was such a sophisticated, grown-up and sexy tropical fragrance. Tempting smells nothing like it. OK! But what does it smell like? It’s a good question. Tempting doesn’t smell of much, and what little I can smell is a fruity mess, mixed with headache-inducing powder and… pencil shavings. If I hadn’t know that this is an actual celebrity fragrance, I would have thought it’s a cheap body spray.

I’m really disappointed with this fragrance, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Not even as a joke gift because it’s too expensive for that. But if you’re interested, Sofia Vergara Tempting Eau De Parfum is available as 100ml. I paid just under £20, I believe. A total waste of money. This is another fragrance I’ll “forget” next time I go to the office. I hope someone else will be happy to have it.

HAUL! Some New Stuff From… Rochas, Jil Sander, Weil, Superdrug, Sofia Vergara

Hi there! Today’s post is about some of the stuff I bought recently.  Most items are sale items – just what you’d expect me to buy! Alrighty, let’s look at the goodies!

1 Superdrug Optimum Retinol Booster Drops – 4 x 30ml for 50p each. Yes, 50p each! They used to be £14.99 each, but it looks like these are being discontinued, hence the ridiculous price.

2 Jil Sander Simply Elixir Eau De Parfum Gift Set (40ml EdP, 75ml Body Cream) for £13.95

3 Weil Passion Essence 100ml EdP for £12.45

4 Weil Belle En Weil 100ml EdP for £14.95

5 Sofia Vergara Tempting 100ml EdP for £18.85

6 Rochas Couture Mademoiselle Rochas Couture 90ml for £32.95.

These are the items I treated myself to recently. I’m excited to try them all. The first 5 products are new to me, and product number 6 – the Rochas fragrance – is a repurchase. There are a few more items on the way to me, and I’ll do another post for the later arrivals.
