Too hot to handle, Pretty Hot Elizabeth Arden is a fragrance of unmistakable sexy confidence.

Luminous notes of juicy red currant, lush blood orange and mandarin set off sparks. Igniting a daring floralcy, Belle de Nuit explodes like a firework in the night sky. Red peony, pimento blossom, Petalia™ and Georgywood™ give a floral woody depth. At the back, a smoldering blend of amber, white patchouli, tonka crystals, sandalwood and Cosmone™ makes the skin exude a sensuous, alluring warmth.

Top Notes: Red currant, Blood Orange, Juicy Mandarin, Freesia, Red Apple.

Middle Notes: Red Peony, Belle de Nuit (Queen of the Night) Scentrek™, Pimento Blossom, Petalia,™ Georgywood.™

Put it on top of flower pot, it's a representation of Pretty Hot ✿

I love how juicy the scent is and made me feel so pretty, it add the sweetness to another level yet still feminine as ever and so lovely. I'm officially a fan of Pretty Hot.

F&B with a few of Elizabeth Arden's products.

Sit here and sniff some Pretty Hot, you'll get the picture. First date, special night or whenever you need those lovely touch, spritz it on!

Love it to the max! Everything is prepared wholeheartedly, and every invited guess can enjoy free makeover, free photo session, and many more.

So I started to clean my face with Hydra Gentle Cream Cleanser, feels so excited already.

Gentle creamy cleanser with micro-milled oats thoroughly cleanses, as it leaves dry/sensitive skin soft and hydrated.

Dermatologist, allergy and clinically tested. Sensitive skin tested.

The application here have slight differences since there's a limited access to water so we use wet cottons which prepared by the beauty staff. Massage the cream well on facial skin, avoid eyes and lips, then use wet cottons to clean them up. If you have water, use warm water and clean them thoroughly.

Oh yes, they do gives us mirrors, hair band and protection for your clothes, neat!

Do read some more details regarding the products

To use: Morning and night, massage gently over wet skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

What do I feel, I really like the sensation of oats on the skin and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated than before, I bet using warm water as suggested will increase the comfort level.

All Gone Eye and Lips Makeup Remover, shake the bottle and use it with cotton to remove waterproof make up on eye and lips. They are soft and gentle too.

Then it's toner time! Refining Toner Lotion for normal skin.

Love the toner! It revitalized the skin immediately, clean all traces left by cleanser and makeup, clinically and dermatologist tested plus refines the skin in one go.

Then, it's Intervene time. I use the Time Fighting Radiance Serum and Pause & Effect Moisture Lotion. Will deliberate these wonderful products next time ^___^

These are the lovely skincare I used during the event. They cleaned, toned, and prepared my skin.

And now, we start with make up. Here's some info:

Now Ceramide makeup goes ultra with new Ceramide Ultra Lift and Firm Makeup SPF 15, a luxurious cream foundation powered by Ceramide skincare's latest CPT (Ceramide Plumping Technology). It works to smooth and relax the appearance of surface lines as it targets deeper wrinkles to firm, lift and redensify the look of skin.

Our ultra luxe, ultra creamy, ultra anti-aging foundation formula brings the ultimate in color, comfort and treatment technology.

What color do I use? I use Beige and Vanilla Shell, mixed them up for a more natural look, oh yes, Elizabeth Arden is all about natural look and enhance the natural beauty of the skin. Superb!

How do I feel using Ceramide Ultra Lift & Firm Make Up SPF 15? At first it felt heavy but it felt so comfortable afterwards, like they become one with my skin, it also gives my skin coverage and  youthful look. It is so unique, because the texture of the cream itself was so thick, yet it glide easily on my facial skin and the coverage it gives was overall and I don't feel like using foundation. It's like a light tinted lotion but with total coverage, oh, I think I'm gonna keep repeating these, in the end, you have to have to have to (3 times the charm) try them!

Oh and don't forget to use the Advanced Eye Fix Primer:

This advanced formula primes eyelids and extends eyeshadow wear.

• This advanced formula primes eyelids and extends eyeshadow wear.
• Can also be worn alone for a natural look.
• Clinically, dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

Beauty Tip: Apply Advanced Eye-Fix Primer all over the eye lid up to the brow. This gives the perfect canvas to all make-up, including eyeliner and all shadow textures. The great thing about Eye-Fix is that it almost totally stops eyeshadow moving during the day, which means a more lasting result to eye makeup.

The beauty staff (Ms. Rere) also helps me with false lashes, I just love false lashes heehee ^____^ and she gives me tips how to put them on by myself.

Then use the eye shadows from the Intrigue collection.

It's like for eyes and cheeks palette.  Again, all look so soft and natural. Perfect for daily use.

But today Ms.Rere gave me a dramatic look.

Dual Perfection Brow Shaper and Eye Liner

Perfumer’s Inspiration

Pretty Hot was created by international perfumer

Claude Dir of Givaudan.

Claude was inspired by the night blossoming flower, Belle de Nuit, at his home in the South of France. On a warm summer evening while dining alfresco, a sultry floral scent floated across the terrace. Captivated by the arrival of this new flower in the night, it sparked Claude’s imagination.

When Belle de Nuit (or Queen of the Night) blossoms in the moonlight, it is a beautiful contrast of fiery red petals that appear like fireworks unfurling in the darkness. The flower exudes an alluring floralcy with a kaleidoscope of spices and the lush, juiciness of dark red currants. 

Pretty Hot is a fragrance that makes a woman feel as sensuous and alluring as the Belle de Nuit. A graceful and unmistakably sexy confidence that turns up the heat, showing off her mesmerizing femininity.

Pretty Hot reminds me of Pretty, but don't be mistaken their scent is different from each other, this is the details of Pretty:

Every day, everywhere. Every woman wants to feel pretty.

Pretty is a spirited floral fragrance of exceptional charm. The floral heart is surrounded by a mélange of fruits, wrapped in a well-rounded background of serene woods. At its core is a premiere ingredient, Petalia.

Top Notes – Italian Mandarin Orpur, Orange Blossom, Peach Nectar

Middle Notes – Star Jasmine, Petalia, Pink Iris, White Peony

Dry Down – Fluffy Musk, Jacaranda Wood, Creamy Amber

Either Pretty or Pretty Hot, both of them both of them will gives you a floral fruity scent that perfect for any gal. So,

Let's be Pretty or be Pretty Hot!
