The scent of love in the air – c’est Magnifique!

January 13, 2010 Paris B 7 Comments

We are just about a month away from Valentine’s Day (need I tell you when that is?) which means, 1 more month of letting your Valentine know just which scent to get you.

If you are anything like me, receiving random fragrances as a gift is both a boon and a bane because you may not know if it suits you, and if people decide to take the easy way out and get you something you already like or have, it gets boring right?

I’ve been broadening my fragrance horizon and recently, I was introduced to Lancome’s Magnifique. This scent has been released only recently, and you might remember the romantic ad on tv with all that red swirling around. I only however, had the chance to smell it at duty free recently.

You know what the first thought that popped into my head was?

Lychee!

There is a sweet tangy top scent that truly reminded me of lychees. A friend I travelled with said “Fruit!” without being specific but agreed with me later that “fruit” referred to “lychee” 😛

However, instead of staying sweet and fruity, it mellows down to a lovely warm scent on the skin (thank goodness!) that isn’t overpowering. I did not get sick of it in the confines of an airplane which is a true test of perfume! Magnifique is pretty much representative of the colour of the bottle it comes in. It smells like something red should. Vibrant, sensual and warm.

Definitely the scent of a woman. 😉 Wanna try it for yourself?

Let’s make dropping V-Day present hints easy for you. In conjunction with Valentine’s Day and Lancome’s 75th Anniversary, Lancome has partnered with us to offer you a free sample of their newest fragrance – Magnifique. All you’ll have to do is print out the voucher below (after the jump), fill it up and take it to any Lancome counter in the places mentioned on the voucher. Easy peasy!

Also, Lancome is celebrating their 75th Anniversary this year. 75 years since the brand was launched to bring French cosmetics to the world by Armand Petitjean. There will be some promotions and roadshows coming up but we’ll bring you news of that as they happen – so you don’t forget 😉

To get your free sample of Magnifique, click to print out the voucher below – Have fun! Magnifique retails at all Lancome counters for RM230/50ml and RM300/75ml.

UPDATE 15 Jan :

Due to logistical complications, we have been informed by Lancome that the free samples will only be available from Monday 18 Jan 2010. Apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks to Fanny for bringing this to our attention.

Please click image to print (Valid 15-24 January 2010)

Do try it then come back and tell me if it smells like Lychee to you too 😀 And if you like it, you know what sort of hints to drop to your Valentine eh? 😉

Filorga is now on Shopee and you can get 18% off ( Filorga is now on Shopee and you can get 18% off (code: FILOJUL09) on top of the discounted prices! Any savings is good savings I say esp with all the price hikes everywhere 😟 Until 15 July. 
They just launched the new NCEF Night Mask, an ultra-regenerating sleeping mask that promises to rejuvenate tired skin in just 7 nights! Well That sounds right up my alley! 😮‍💨
I highly recommend the Meso Mask as well for a rejuvenating, hydrating and smoothing boost to the skin. Its a good brand, that I’ve tried in the past and I’m glad we now have it here! 😊

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
