Hugo Boss Bottled Sport review

http://www.bwonders.com/storage/Hugo%20Boss%20Banner.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1337214335762

Hugo Boss has a history of recruiting handsome Caucasian men with a huge fan base to be their spokesperson. Actor Ryan Reynolds, singer Jared Leto have starred in television commercials and print advertisements. Now, Maclaren F1 Driver Jenson Button lends his face to the perfume giant, not a surprise since Maclaren Mercedes is sponsored by Hugo Boss. It comes in a translucent bottle with a black cap, and Hugo Boss' signature black and red details.

The fragrance itself makes itself known immediately: it is almost impossible to ignore the citrus that makes up the top notes. It is a pleasant fragrance fortunately, and I rather like it immediately. These are the ingredients -

Top notes: Citrus, Grapefruit, Yuzu Zest, Pink Peppercorn

Middle notes: Lavender, Cardamom, Aldehydic mist

Base notes: Vetyver, Tonka bean and Patchouli

It is a normal masculine scent, and even after a few hours I can still smell the scent of patchouli. It is a pleasing scent, so even though I am a girl I do enjoy putting this on. On days when I am sick of feminine floral or fruity scents, I reach for this instead, and enjoy a day of 'smelling like a man'. Like a nice-smelling man, obviously. This is a clean and uplifting scent, and I think this classic perfume is here to stay for a long time.

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour 499 Dark Cherry review

TDLR Review: I would not recommend this hair colour product at all, because the shade turned out nothing like the box. Also it is difficult to wash off. NOTE: I have dark Asian hair, which might be the reason why it's not suitable for this product. So I'm back with another hair dye review! I've raved about the Liese hair dyes before ( Cassis Berry , Sweet Apricot , Antique Rose ), because those are super easy to use (I've appreciated that even more after finding out how difficult some at-home hair dye kits can be to apply). But I got suckered into getting a box of Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour hair dye, because the models on Schwarzkopf hair dye boxes always have gorgeous shades of hair! I've used Schwarzkopf before, I've bought the Palette in Magical Blue Black (no review, only a haul). But I was disappointed with it, because there was only a faint sheen of blue, and the black faded from my hair quite quickly. The trouble with Schwarzkopf also is...

Old Town White Coffee Ipoh Hor Fun review

Who doesn't like Old Town White Coffee? It's so nostalgic, from the furniture they have to the food they serve. It's really like a throwback to the simpler times in Singapore. According to Wikipedia, Old Town White Coffee is the largest kopitiam restaurant chain in Malaysia and has over 180 outlets in the region. Can you believe that? I love their kaya toast and of course, their Ipoh Hor Fun. Why go to Penang when you can just enjoy the Hor Fun here? Normally I get those Ipoh Hor Fun that is served in rich gravy, with not much soup. But this one is served in a clear broth, which is perfect for a light meal that is also filling. At the end of it, you won't feel too full or bloated like if you had something richer. The kway teow is served with generous helpings of prawns and chicken shreds every time I go there (my favourite outlet is Playground at East Coast Park, the area that used to be Big Splash. There are 8 outlets in Singapore at the moment, and they ar...

Intro Post

Despite the name, this blog is not about carousels or couture (although you never know, that might change?). Nobody likes to spend money on something, only to discover that it does not deliver what it has promised. I sure don't. So I start this blog with the hopes that perhaps it'll help someone find their holy grail. And maybe, I'll find my own on the way too. Expect to find beauty and skincare reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and current obsessions. Oh, and a little couture here and there too.
