Versace - Vanitas - Eau de Parfum
This is one of my all time favourite scents.
Its pink and white flowers, a little powdery, and something about it reminds me of the 1994 Tropical Splash Barbie perfume (which is ultimate perfume goals).
*It is not a dupe though!!!

Top Note: lime (yes)
Middle Notes: freesia (yes), tiare flower (yes)
Base Notes: Virginia cedar (yes), tonka bean (yes)
Price: 1/5 (~$115 for 50mL)

I picked this up when I was in the U.S. a while ago.
The scent, while being called 'Secret Woods' is mostly vanilla and musk.
Fragrantica lists the notes as:
Top Notes: red apple (no), pomegranate (no), quince (no)
Middle Notes: jasmine (no), violet (maybe), chocolate (no)
Base Notes: vanilla (yes), musk (yes), woodsy notes (yes)
Only listen to the base notes, the rest make no sense.
Price: 5/5 ($3.92 for 59mL)
Effectiveness: 4/5
Strength: Medium
Lifetime: Medium
Time: Night time
Season: Autumn

Versace - Crystal Noir - Eau de Toilette
This is quite a unisex scent!
It is very heavy in green notes, with green florals, musk, incense, sap, some spice, and lavender.
This is a Autumn night in a well-cared for garden.
This is moths dancing around a street lamp as you move from one great party (for +25 year olds) to the next.
This is that spark of electricity in the air when the weather turns.
It is a strong scent as well.
Fragrantica lists the notes as
Top Notes: ginger, cardamon, pepper. (agree with all of these)
Middle Notes: orange blossom, peony, gardenia, coconut. (agree)
Base Notes: sandalwood, amber, musk. (agree, but it has smokiness)
Price: 1/5 ($140 for 90mL, I have a tiny sample bottle!)
Scent: 5/5
Season: Autumn
Strength: Strong
Time: Nighttime

Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau De Parfum
This is like getting punched in the face with a bouquet, and not in a great way.
I'm glad I only have a tiny sample!
I can't tell any notes, just generic (some white) flowers.
And it is strong.
The container is really cute, it's a shame that the perfume doesn't match.
I mean, I like it, but it isn't the greatest.
Fragrantica lists the notes as
Top Notes: Neroli (nope), Amalfi lemon (nope), Raspberry (nope).
Middle Notes: Jasmine (nope), African Orange flower (nope), Gardenia (yes).
Base Notes: Patchouli (yes!), White honey (yes), Amber (nope).
Patchouli!!! That must be why I like it still!
Price: 1/5 ($129.00 for 80mL)
Scent: 3/5
Season: Autumn
Time: Nighttime
Strength: Strong
Lifetime: Full day

Dimetapp - Daytime/ Nightime
Yeah, the packet says "Nightime", not "Nighttime" or "Night Time" :s
This isn't a beauty product per say, but it was the only thing keeping me sane for a while.
My germ-riddled sister came home with a common virus, which when I caught it, it entered a muscle/nerve injury I had/have in my right arm/neck/back/brain and put me in incredible pain. Mind-numbing pain.
I took paracetamol and a bit of codeine, but it didn't quite cut it. Some derps did suggest antibiotics, but we all (should) know that they can't do anything for a virus.
I picked this cold and flu medication because the clear capsules were the prettiest and reminded me of 'The Matrix'
They did help take the edge off like nothing I previously tried and I'm really glad I got them.
They didn't make me nauseated or give me any weird side effects (hey, you may not be so lucky).
ALWAYS check with a pharmacist/doctor if a medicine is right for you! I know what I'm on and what I can't mix it with, do you? (Your drug combos, not mine... don't you be stalking me XP)
Price: $11.99
Effectiveness: 4/5 (Sweet local anesthetic would have been great! Still would be, arm ain't 100%. Stupid thesis)
