Sephora Fragrance Deluxe Sampler for Her

Epicurean Confession of the Week. I recently bought Sephora's deluxe fragrance sampler for women. I got this for myself, but wouldn't hesitate to get this as a gift for my girl friends. The packaging is very nice and presentable even though it only contains 11 tiny fragrance samples and a silver beauty bag. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, this could be a good gift option.

Retail $50 ($104 value)

This sampler set also includes a voucher for one full-size bottle, making this the ultimate gift or purchase for the girl who likes her perfumes. The voucher is really where the value of this purchase comes in because the full-size bottle for any of these 11 fragrances cost more than $50. I've tried all 11 samples, so now I'm deciding which is my favorite fragrance to redeem for full-size. Thus far, I'm really liking Chloé Chloé, Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh, and Gucci Flora.

This Set Contains Samples Of:
- BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline redeems to a 1.37 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
- Chloé Chloé redeems to a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- CLEAN Skin redeems to a 2.14 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- ESCADA Especially Escada reedeems to a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia redeems to a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- Gucci Flora by Gucci redeems to a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh redeems to a 2.5 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
- Paco Rabanne Lady Million redeems to a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- Philosophy Love Sweet Love redeems to a 2 oz Fragrance Spray
- Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y redeems to a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray
- Tocca Cleopatra redeems to a 1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray

How it works:
1. Purchase the Fragrance Sampler as a gift or for yourself.
2. Sample the fragrances and choose a favorite.
3. Fill in the enclosed voucher.
4. Bring the voucher into a Sephora store and redeem it for a fragrance.
Please note: The voucher is redeemable at Sephora stores only (the voucher cannot be redeemed online). The voucher is not redeemable at Sephora inside JCPenney retail locations.

I Heart Burberry Brit Sheer

It was love at first whiff!

I was walking around Sephora the other day, and a really cute pink bottle caught my eyes. Yes, I'm a sucker for packaging. It was Burberry Brit Sheer. Now, I'm not a big fan of Burberry fragrances in general so I was a bit skeptical this one would smell any better. To my pleasant surprise, not only is the packaging adorable but the scent is even more beautiful.

Burberry Brit Sheer is a fresh, fruity, light-hearted floral fragrance that embodies the youthful spirit of Burberry Brit.

Notes:
Yuzu, Pineapple Leaves, Litchi, Mandarin, Grapes, Pink Peony, Peach Blossom, Nashi, White Musk, Blond Woods.
Style:
Seductive. Hypnotic. Sparkling.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Brit Sheer! It is a very light fragrance perfect for summer. I usually just use one spritz and it's enough to last me an 8-hour work day. Even though the primary scent fades after a few hours, it leaves behind a sweet scent. I find Brit Sheer more floral than fruity, so I was a little surprised to see the notes comprised of all those fruits.

I bought the Burberry Brit Sheer Gift Set ($107 value, retail price $80).

The set contains:
- 3.3 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
- 1.7 oz Perfumed Body Lotion
- 0.25 oz Eau de Toilette Spray

This set is such a great value. Just the 3.3 oz bottle of EDT retails for $80, so essentially the perfumed body lotion and travel size EDT spray are free.

My signature fragrances include Versace Bright Crystal, Dior Ja'Dore and Giorgio Armani Aqua Di Gio.

I also really like Dior's Addict 2, but haven't bought a full size bottle yet.
