Review: Sephora Favorites- The Captivator Deluxe Fragrance Sampler

Hey Guys! Today I will be reviewing the Captivator Deluxe Fragrance Sampler by Sephora. Sephora has recently decided to come out with a collection of four deluxe sized perfume samplers, each one  sensual and captivating.

Review:
Dior Addict To Life- intense rose with sparkling lilac, vibrant jasmine, and white musk. Full sized- 1.7 oz ( got renamed to Dior Addict eau Sensuelle).


Viva La Juicy- sparkling wild berries, creamy vanilla caramel, and bright jasmine. Full sized- 1.0 oz
Michael Kors- tuberose, dewy freesia, white wings peony, blue orris, and musk. Full sized- 1.0 oz
Versace Yellow Diamond- heart of nymphaea, freesia, orange blossom, citron, pear, bergamot, neroli, amber wood, palo santo, and musk. Full sized- 1.0 oz


The Good, the Bad, and the Glamorous.

The Good:

Cost
I know what you're thinking $42 just for 4 0.17 oz bottles, but luckily it comes with a voucher that redeems at your local Sephora store (unfortunately not redeemable or for sale in Canada) for the full sized version of any perfume in this set. Which if you do the math is definitely a good deal, after all a full sized bottle can cost over the $42 you paid. But only if you truly like one of the samples.



Variety
If you're like me who gets sick of the same perfume all the time and therefore never finishes a bottle, then this set is a good cure for that due to it's small size and variety.

Travel friendly
Perfect size to drop in your purse to apply through out the day.

The Bad:

Difficult application
All of the perfume samples in this set do not have a spray, they can only be applied by splashing them on. Now the art of splashing perfumes is something I've never mastered and probably never will, if you think about it even using a perfume with a spray applicator is difficult to get the right amount then how can you control the amount by just literally dripping it on? Also it is difficult to uncap the bottle (especially the Dior one) with out perfume accidentally spilling.

What if...
What if you don't like any of the scents? Well then you're out of luck, but remember it is very giftable.
So always go to the store before hand and try the perfumes in this set in person.

The Glamorous:

Packaging
What else can be more cute than mini perfume bottles! They are perfect to display on your vanity.

Yours to the glitter end,
