Frugal Snob: Crazylibellule

| 2 Comments

For years I carried around a travel-size Allure eau de toilette in my purse. It always shacked around and the cap often fell off, so whenever I had a bag I cared particularly about I couldn't take it with me out of fear that spillage might occur. How much easier life has gotten now that there are so many wonderful solid perfumes to choose from! Crazylibellule is one such fabulously fun brand (Parisian of course!). All the fragrances in the line are shaped and sized to be about as big as a lipstick and they can all be layered. The packaging is super fun and colorful and I love how light and refreshing the scents are (all the ones I've tried would work for both men and women). To boot each stick is only $18 which is great for those who like to mix up their fragrance throughout their day/depending on their mood. For added value (or in light of the upcoming holiday season -- can't believe it's so soon!), there's also the Crazylibellule and the Poppies Shanghaijava Collection ($54 Value) ($36).

Missoni: La Bella Vita

I love dual purpose products; especially one that makes you look pretty and smell good.  Unfortunately I am not a charm bracelet girl but I have a girlfriend who collects them--this is the perfect Christmas present for her.  Margherita Missoni designed this fun and whimsical solid parfum charm bracelet that combines convenience and luxury (you can discreetly refreshen your scent from a bracelet, necklaces are harder to conceal).  My friend Kristen the Beauty Addict loves solid parfums but I've never found one that was to my liking.  I took a whiff of this the other day and for some reason it smelled rancid on me.  Oh well, the search for the perfect solid parfum continues.  I am obsessed with Kai's gardenia oil but the roller ball broke the other day in the car, on my way to a black tie wedding and spilled all over my vintage HAUTE COUTURE YSL gown circa 1972.  I was devastated and held my clutch over the giant oil stain all night.  Luckily my trusty dry cleaner took the stain right out.  Whewwwww!  Oh, if you're interested, the Missoni charm bracelet is $50 at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue this month.
