Review: Velvet Unicorn
Okay! I have been wanting to try this for so long, and the bottle has been sitting on my desk, mocking me, because I've had a horrible bronchitis-y virus, and have literally been able to smell nothing. Even when my passageways were clear and I could breathe easily, I still could smell nothing. It terrified me, and me and my BPAL all wept together and prayed to the gods.
Now, I think my sense of smell is back enough to do a proper BPAL review again! So, here we go!
In the bottle: First of all, the bottle art is super awesome. A unicorn with a rainbow, as pictured on the BPAL site, in The Salon! Now, smell.. Vanilla briefly, then sugar, then pink sugar, then sugared strawberry bits.. Mmm, lots of delicious sugar!
Wet on skin: The sugariness seems woefully diminished - this one may need to be slathered. Just a bit of pink sugar now, with more pink - I don't know how to describe it other than "pink" - than sugar.
On the drydown: Pineapple? What? Okay, that's faded now.. I had a brief pinapple-y moment, but maybe that was a stroke. Anyway, it's gone more fruity now, less sugary. A little disappointing, as I was hoping for more of a punch of sugar, but the strawberry-ness is nice enough!
