Roxana Illuminated Perfume $30 Gift Certificate GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!! CLOSED.

At the doctor's office last week I was sitting in the waiting room, bored. I started digging through my purse looking for something to occupy myself. I found a tiny vial of sample perfume and sprayed my neck. It turned out to be a happy surprise. I walked into the doctor's office not feeling as frumpy and disheveled as I had been a couple minutes before.

I usually only use perfume for special occasions but when I do it always makes me feel more put together and of course, smelling sweeter:)

If the cold weather and indoors are also making you feel frumpy take a look at today's guest giveaway, Roxana Illuminated Perfume.

I especially liked her "Food of the Gods" sample featuring delicious cacao perfume made with vital, natural ingredients. In scents of Noir: a deep, dark and mysterious chocolate with a strong musk note, Cerise: a Succulent cherry weaved with a base of rich chocolate, La Forêt: Where a dense conifer forest meets an ocean of chocolate, L'Orangerie: A Mouth watering citrus in a base of rich chocolate, Bois de Chocolat: Smokey woods and chocolate, and Épices Spice: with a hint of vanilla and chocolate.
