The results were fantastic! We drank champagne, ate cheesecake, colored our hair and had an unabashedly feminine good time. Here are some of the pictures I got:

• CTonics Elixir Blossom moisturizes her hair.
  
• Fallene Total Block SPF 65 Clear protects her skin from the sun.
• Diorshow Iconic Mascara makes her lashes luscious.
• Laura Mercier Secret Concealer hides her flaws (what flaws??)

Chanel Allure Sensuelle is a decidedly spicier fragrance than the original Chanel Allure, making it a great choice for Oriental lovers who enjoy heavily romantic, long-wearing base notes. This is my favorite fragrance; I would have been wearing it at age 17 if I’d had the money!

• Top notes: Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper
• Heart notes: Jasmine, Rose, Iris, Candied Fruit, Vetiver
• Base notes: French Vanilla, Amber, Patchouli, Frankincense

Allure Sensuelle by Chanel Eau de Parfum Spray is available at Amazon in the 1.2oz size for $66.00.
