Birchbox Treats: Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Perfume

Pinky McLadybits

Per Lainey's holding it over our heads that she was getting Birchbox goodies every month, I decided to subscribe. If you haven't heard of Birchbox then I am sorry for you. It is a service that, for $10 monthly, sends a box with some samples and some full-sized products. These items are based on their theme for the month and the information you give the company when you fill out your profile. 

This month's box was Gossip Girl themed and one of the samples included within was Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Perfume. Fancy!

This Hippie Doesn't Stink: Saje Natural Wellness African Heart Perfume Solid

Replica

Okay. Let’s just get this out in the open right from the get-go. I live in Vancouver, BC Canada. Home of Lululemon, yoga, quinoa cookies and un-ironic use of patchouli. When I say I am reviewing a product labeled as a ‘natural fragrance’ from my town let me be clear – the battlefield is littered with shredded hemp sarongs, 100-mile diet organic compostables, and a heap of ‘Vegans Do It Better’ fair-trade cotton t’s.

When I walked into Saje Natural Wellness store in Kitsilano with my Mom  (who is a fanatical devotee of this company’s sleep products – which reek of such pungent low-level harmonically pounding sub-scents that you double bag the containers and STILL whiff them from across the house and go – whoo!!!) I was hoping only to make it out of there before I passed out from the sensory assault.
