End of 2014, I attended Besame Cosmetics Brightening Face Powders Launch Event with collaboration with Latina Lifestyle Bloggers Collective. I received a goody bag from Besame Cosmetics.

I already reviewed Besame Cosmetics Brightening Vanilla Powder. For this post, I will review the fragrance.

Thoughts: When I sniffed all the different fragrances, this stood out to me the most. It's the most sweetest out of the bunch.

Here's a closer look at the fragrance I received. From the website, the packaging is different. It's a lot cuter and so elegant.

Here's a closer look at the spray.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the packaging of the bottle I received is just plain normal. The packaging the fragrance normally comes in is gorgeous! It's extremely attractive and will look great on any display. It will also stand out. Secondly, the scent is on the sweet floral side. It's very refreshing, as well as, sweet which is what I usually like. I'm not a big fan of musky smell and this definitely isn't. Third and when I first started wearing this scent, I thought it was overbearing in the sense it was way too strong. Within an hour of wearing it, I got used to it and ended up liking this a lot. Lastly, I was impressed with the longevity. From my experience, fragrances don't last that long on me. I've always wanted to be one of those girls who only wear body sprays and several hours later, you still can smell it. That's not me. For that reason, I was impressed with this fragrance! It lasted a good half a day which is amazing.

Pros:
* Adorable, attractive packaging.
* Sweet, floral scent.
* Refreshing.
* Not musky.
* Long lasting.
* Lasted half a day on me.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.

Would repurchase: Yes.
