Oh but boy did I find one recently!

I stopped in the mall to use a Macy's gift card I had received. When I was younger my friends and I dubbed the ladies in the makeup department "sales ninjas" and to this day that's what we call them. (I don't even remember how it started.) We used to get a kick out of dodging them with their makeup and fragrance samples. Now though, I don't mind letting them show me what new fragrances they have, what the special deals and gift sets are etc.

So when the lovely lady by the perfume counter asked if I'd like to try some new fragrances, even though I already had plans for my gift card, I said sure and sniffed several samples. I liked a Jessica Simpson fragrance a lot - Vintage Bloom if I remember correctly - and didn't care for a couple others. But then she showed me this one. Fiori by Vince Camuto. OH MY STARS.

I fell in love. To the point I let her spritz me with the stuff. And then I told her sadly the perfume just was not in my budget for the day - which it wasn't - and walked away. And I spent the rest of the day sniffing at my wrists where she'd sprayed the sample bottle.

I had to have it. HAD to. It's not only incredible but it's limited edition. *wail* Why is the best stuff always LE?

Here is the description from the Macy's web site: Fiori - meaning 'flowers' in Italian- is a fresh and invigorating summer scent, light and smooth, authentically uplifting. Featuring top notes of luscious pink grapefruit and ripened white nectarine, the heart of Fiori is enriched with sheer iris and dewy freesia, providing a beautiful, purifying backdrop for base notes of rich sandalwood and creamy blonde cedarwood. A soft, contemporary fragrance, Fiori embodies the independent spirit of the Vince Camuto woman. Experience Vince Camuto Fiori with this Limited edition 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum.



The craziest thing is I don't usually like floral fragrances. I usually go for "clean" or woody/musky fragrances.

As I have said in the past, I'm no good at describing fragrances. All I can say is that I think this smells really good. And I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. Particularly from men...

As the name implies, it's small and fits into the palm of your hand. It comes in a variety of colors/designs. Being the girly-girl that I am, I chose a pink and purple design.



It is powered by two AA batteries and is water resistant. I tend to just use it dry though. It is suitable to use on the legs, under arms, and bikini area. Which is fantastic, because some shavers are only made to be used on one area. The fact that this one can cover all the bases is great!

So far this is holding up well for me though it's not as nice as the Remington I had before. Of course with electric shavers you never get quite as close a shave as you do with a manual razor. I find this one doesn't give me as close a shave as my Remington did, though, and I do tend to have to go over the same spot several times to really make a difference.

Since I'm really only using this to try to help extend time between shaves with my Venus Breeze (far, far too expensive anymore!) razors, the fact that it's not great is ok. If you're hoping to get something to replace manual razors or if you're strictly an electric saver kind of gal and need a new one, you probably want to pony up the dough for something better. This is cheap and cute but based on my experience with it, for anything more than a little between-shaves maintenance this will not do the job.

I think I may be willing to try waxing, actually. I've been looking at some various waxing kits out of curiosity, and they seem like quite an affordable way to go. I'll let y'all know if I try it what I think!
