Book Review: The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White

Image
The Last Carolina Summer by Karen White is the story about Phoebe Manigault returning home to Mt. Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, to help her sister with their ailing mother. When past memories resurface, Phoebe is thrown back into some childhood turmoil. I requested an Advanced Readers Copy ARC of The Last Carolina Summer from NetGalley, and I was ecstatic when the provided me with a copy for free in exchange for my honest review. So, a big thank you goes out to them! When I began reading this story, I just happened to be vacationing in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. I loved hearing about the different places, including streets and a bridge called the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, which I had to cross to get into Mt. Pleasant as well as Isle of Palms. It's always nice to be able to visualize the places and author writes about. With that being said, I'm not a fan of traveling over bridges, and one of the scenes of The Last Carolina Summer mentions a car going off ...

Product Review: Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine

When I heard that I would be receiving a VoxBox from Influenster.com, I was excited to be testing another product. I recently received my product . . . Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, which I received for free in exchange for my honest review of the product. I never really know if I'm going to receive a sample size or a full size product, but in this case, I received a sample size.

Normally, I wear Giorgio Women by Giorgio Beverly Hills Perfume for Women, so I was excited to try out a new perfume to see if I might have an alternate scent to wear and because I do love the scent of roses and tangerine. In testing Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, there were things that I liked and things I didn't like.

Let's begin with the pluses. It's a very light scent that actually complemented me well. Usually when I try out new scents, I never get any complements on it, but with Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, I received positive reactions. My mom liked how it smelled so much that she wanted to try it out.

The negatives for me are that when I first sprayed Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine on me, it was very strong smelling. With that being said, it did settle down a lot and ended up being very subtle, but it took about 30 minutes for it to do that. The other down side was that whenever I sprayed the perfume, it gave me a small headache, which thankfully went away after a brief amount of time. I was expecting to smell hints of the tangerine in Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, but all I smelled was the rose, which was a little disappointing because I wanted at least a subtle hint of citrus.

All in all, I was very pleased with Chloé Eau de Toilette Rose Tangerine, and I give it four out of five stars. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone who likes the scent of rose but not to those who are expecting a citrus scent because you'd likely be disappointed.
