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!

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

Kim Kardashian Eye Makeup TipsYou asked and she delivered: possibly the most sought after celebrity eye makeup look is that of Kim Kardashian, and apparently Kim has heard about the high demand.
