"Modern Muse" by Estee Lauder | Fragrance

Hi Lovelies!

Behold - my favorite fragrance of 2015!

"Modern Muse" by Estee Lauder is a lush floral, woody fragrance that stole my heart! In my recent post I mentioned how the brand Estee Lauder brings sweet memories from the past. My first ever designer fragrance was Intuition which is one of my favorite fragrances as well. I still remember how I enjoyed every bit of that fragrance. It was a spicy, oriental fragrance which complimented by personality and gave me a lot of confidence. Later on, I "developed feelings" for the brand and tried many fragrances like Pleasures, Pleasures Intense, Pure White Linen which are light and easy-to-wear.

Love at first sight - the bottle is cute as a button. Perfectly dressed for all times, the bottle has a cute 3D bow in navy shade on its spray. It is a transparent bottle otherwise and comes in a modern and beautiful blush pink box with the bottle draw on it. Notice how the bow looks so real with that gold shade! The bottle itself is such an attractive addition to your vanity.
Be an inspiration. Experience the fragrance that captures your style, your confidence, your creative spirit. An alluring contrast of sparkling florals and sleek woods. Two distinctively different accords - Jasmine Accord and Sleek Woods Accord - provide an intriguing dual impression. It's a true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it. - Estee Lauder

The new fragrance concept by Estee Lauder is based on the dual impression of two contrasting accords - floral and woody. I personally love woody fragrances but this unique blend of sparkling florals and sleek woods is as sensuous as you can imagine. The first ever spray I made on my wrist once I un-boxed the bottle of Modern Muse by Estee Lauder took me years back to my school days instantly. I still, to date, have not forgotten the beautiful and warm fragrance of my favorite flower, Sweet Peas which were in abundance at our school garden. I would walk around that areas multiple times just to smell the sweet fragrance of these spring blooms. Though Modern Muse does not smell much like Sweet Peas, it sure brought back those exciting memories. Personally, I would prefer to keep this fragrance for spring time but I love to admit that I had to put away my Coco Mademoiselle just to enjoy this scent a bit more. 

Modern Muse by Estee Lauder is for a confident, inspiring and independent woman. She is soft and strong yet dynamic. Without saying a word, she inspires everyone with her presence. To be honest, I can wear this fragrance everywhere - office, parties, date, dinner, formal events, even to bed! A tiny spray on my wrists before going to sleep and I wake up smelling like heaven! Did I mention it is also one of the few fragrances I received most compliments on? Yes and that too for the opposite sex. *ahem* 

Dating Tip: Spray your hair brush with a spritz of your favorite fragrance and then brush your hair with it for that lingering fragrance. 


Did I convince you enough?

Aisle Style Collection 2016 Bridesmaid Dresses

Hi lovelies,

I cannot begin to say how excited I am about today's post! How many of you pretty ladies would admit that they always dream of that perfect fairy tale wedding day! While the wedding gown has and will always remain on top of THE most desired item of your big day, looking for bridesmaid dress is an equally challenging job that would definitely give you a few sleepless nights. And before you even begin to think that you have ample amount of time to search for those perfect bridesmaid dresses, the big day will be just around the corner! I have personally experienced this on my sister's wedding where I could not get everything done even an hour before the wedding reception. In the end ,I attended the reception without having any nail polish on and makeup retouches - imagine that!

Now, you may have your own preferences of how you and your girls would want to shortlist that perfect bridesmaid dress, let me make this task as easy as it can get. There are plenty of online stopovers that you may already be aware of but Aisle Style is one place that definitely has a lot more to offer than what is already out there. This unique website offers you a wide range of gorgeous bridesmaid dress (along with wedding gowns, prom dresses and evening dresses) that are worth every penny!

I have gone through the entire website and I must say the pages and layout are so user-friendly. You will find your desired dress in just a few clicks by simply clicking on your preferences. At Aisle Style you will come across dresses that suit your personal style, from various silhouettes, hemlines and trains to necklines and embellishments. You can also choose different styles from chic and modern, to glamorous and dramatic, to even country and rustic themed dresses. I love the embellishments on almost every gown. These are not only beautiful crystal broaches and crystal detailing but also lace and sashes with appliques and my all-time favorite beads and sequins! Not only this, you get to pick from beautiful contemporary shades of colors along with traditional ones. Each dress is made with craftsmanship and details that will give you not just a beautiful bridesmaid dress but also something that you can re-wear later on as well therefore adding more value to your purchase. Having said that, I did a little search and rounded up a few show-stopping bridesmaid dresses from Aisle Style that I absolute loved!

Estee Lauder | Advanced Night Repair Serum

1 comment

Hi lovelies,

I hope all of you remember some time back I did a post on Sheshido Ultimute Power Infusing Concentrate and how I think in my 30's I want to have more specialized skincare regime than before. During my 20's one of my all time favorite brand for fragrances was Estee Lauder. My first designer fragrance was Intuition by Estee Lauder, sweet memory of which is still embedded in my mind. In time, I discovered that Estee Lauder does not only create beautiful fragrances (my other favorites: Pleasures, Pleasures Intense, Pure White Linen, Modern Muse) but also gorgeous makeup and luxury skincare. Over the years, I looked up to this brand for luxury fragrances and now when I really want to invest in anti-ageing skin care regime I picked one of Estee Lauder's best sellers - Advanced Night Repair serum.

The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum comes in a slightly transparent dark brown bottle with a gold colored cap. It comes with a dropper which makes it so hygienic to use and gives you more control on the amount of product you need every time. The texture of the serum is quite watery with a very mild scent. The consistency, however is dense but it absorbs nicely in the skin. I would say I am not too fond of the scent it has though it is very light almost odourless: I feel it has a bit of a 'medicated' feel to it. On the outside, the packaging is of light bluish shade with the brand's seal in gold on top which looks beautiful! Fighting all the key signs of ageingEstee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum seemed like the best choice. I have always preferred skincare products made specifically for night time. I believe a product works best on a nicely cleansed skin while you are asleep. As a nightly ritual, I cleanse my face thoroughly (you can use Estee Lauder's cleansers) and pat dry. I take around 2 - 3 drops of the serum and massage a little on my fingertips. Then I smooth in gently with my fingertips all over my face and neck in an outward motion. 

It has been more than two weeks now that I am using Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum. It has a combination of vitamins and anti-oxidants that aim to repair the skin while you sleep. The brand spent great amount of time and effort to find out the effects of lack of sleep on our skin and finally created a formula that combats skin ageing in a much better way. Skin cells of bad sleepers (count me in!) do not recover well during the night, moreover skin looses a lot of moisture as well hence the signs of ageing. With ChromoluxCB Technology, cell renewal and cell regeneration gets a boost to make your skin feel smoother, younger and more radiant. It is ideal for:

Multiple Signs of Ageing
Visible Age Prevention
Dryness, Dehydration
Lines and Wrinkles
Dullness, Loss of Radiance
Oil-Free

In two weeks, I have felt that my skin looks brighter and plumped up. Initially, I thought it was due to me sleeping better at night and over weekends. But in time I realized that it was actually Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum doing its work gradually. It will not improve my skin appearance overnight but I am sure I will see more improvement in time. I believe this 50 ml bottle will be enough for more than 2 months. I will show up later with an update when I have used more than half the bottle. The serum is formulated for all skin types so do not worry about break-outs or clogged pores. I, however do not use a moisturizer when I apply this serum. If you are someone like me who loves to give luxury products a try, go for this one!

Which is your favorite luxury skincare product?
