Cream & Powder Palette, Colorful Blush and Highlighter Glaze, and Color Twister Color Changing Oil-in-Stick for Lip + Cheek are four new blush picks being added to the Sephora Collection for Spring/Summer 2025. I may or may not have already indulged in the new Colorful Blush and Highlighter Glaze (they are so pretty, can’t wait to use them). These affordable picks are available now but if you’re Rouge you might want to wait till Friday as the entire Sephora Collection will be 30% off with code SAVEMORE (don’t worry, VIB and BIs can grab them too on April 8th!)

Happy Friday, friends! Spring is in the air. Sort of. But not really…! It’s coming just a little slow but I’m in a Spring mood and I’ve been doing a bit of Spring shopping. Call it retail therapy if you will! I am guilty of purchasing a few items at Aldo recently I didn’t really need but totally wanted.

Some of the items are from the Aldo x Wicked Collection which I didn’t really want to splurge that much on when it originally launched. The prices just seems a bit high for an Aldo haul so I’ve been patiently waiting for a good sale and it finally arrived.

Here’s what I got!

By some way, somehow the size 7 1/2 Sopopular Sneaker popped into stock last week and I immediately added it to my cart. These are $64 and were originally $130. I absolutely adore them! We have a casual wedding we’re going to in June. It’s a very lowkey event and I thought these would be perfect to wear with my outfit! I dunno if they scream Wicked but they are very Aldo with the customary gold butterfly that they tend to use in many designs. I really don’t need another pair of sneakers (I’m an avid collector of Converse) but these were too adorable to not grab.

I also grabbed the stunning Goodnewsglinda Bag! I wanted this when it originally launched but couldn’t see myself paying $85 for an Aldo Bag. It’s not $39 so, I was like yup, time to add to cart! Again, we have the cute gold butterflies with a pink lining. It even comes with a Wicked dust bag! Ugh! I’m in love!

That was going to be the end of my order but I ran across the Camyx Crossbody bag which was also $39 and it was an instant add to cart. I have two bags like this from luxury designers that shall not be named that cost me quite a good deal of money. But I’m super careful with them and I find myself using them only on special occasions! This was a perfect way to have the same design and not worry about ruining it as it’s only $39 bucks so it’s not going to cause me major anxiety when I’m carrying it around!

Have you added any fun accessories to your Spring wardrobe? P.S. Aldo ships free if you’re an Aldo Crew Member. You can join free!

Oh Snif you’ve outdone yourself! As you know Snif dropped a new gourmand fragrance that smells like pancakes! Snif Hot Cakes is a new perfume that features notes of warm off the griddle fluffy flapjacks dripping with butter and maple syrup. Along with the perfume Snif launched not one but three brand new Body Mists (Choose from Hazel Split, Extra Whip, or Berry Styles) to compliment the Hot Cakes Perfume. Each of those can be mixed and matched with the fragrance to create a truly unique, gourmand experience. They even went so far as to bundle the body mists and the perfume together into one cute gift set!

Much to my disbelief there are people running around who don’t want to smell edible! Gasp! No but seriously, there are two groups of people in the fragrance world. Some who just want to smell delicious and others who don’t really want to smell like some sort of cupcake or delicious treat. I happen to fall into the “I want to smell edible” group of people. I was excited about this launch but wasn’t sure what to expect. Sometimes brand’s shy away from going completely gourmand because they don’t want to lose the interest of those who just aren’t here for smelling extra sweet or foody. In this case Snif toes the line with Hot Cakes. It’s a gourmand but it’s not a “I smell like I ate at IHOPs” fragrance. They do duplicate the scent of pancakes but they also, added a few notes to this that makes it smell warm, comforting, and sultry without being too foody. I absolutely love it. It does not disappoint. It’s a purchase I don’t regret however, I do wish they’d do this in a larger bottle as the 1.7 oz I can see go very, very fast.

I did purchase a full-size bottle and all three of the body mists. However, this review is just for the Snif Hot Cakes Perfume. I’ll speak more on the body mists in another post and how well they cocktail with Hot Cakes. This was a no brainer pick up for me as a gourmand fan girl. It was a blind purchase and I wasn’t sure what to expect but it didn’t not disappoint. I have a few different very realistic pancake smelling perfumes from a variety of e-tailers and Etsy Creators but this entirely a new experience when it comes to a pancake perfume.

As per Snif this has top notes of buttermilk and melted butter with a heart of pancake accord and maple syrup and a base of berry compote and sugared musk. I can attest that as soon as you spray this you’ll get an instant hit of melted butter and immediately after that a fluffy, warm pancake note with a drizzling of maple syrup but it’s the sugared musk in my opinion that prevents it from being a full on pancake scent. The sugary element creates this beautiful element to the scent that almost mimics amber. It’s warm, comforting, and not too foody-like but has a hit of sophisticated sugar hit. It’s reminiscent of pancakes but not a full on pancake fragrance so if you hate the idea of smelling like pancakes have no fear that’s not what you’re getting. It’s deliciously sultry. One note I did not smell at all was the berry compote. I think all the notes are easy enough to point out but my nose never picked up on anything fruity. But I did buy the Berry Styles Body Mist so that might get me a bit of fruitiness with my stack!

With each time I wore this so far I keep wondering why they didn’t save it for a Fall release. It would be a perfect Fall fragrance as it has that cozy, warm element. I can’t wait to mix it with the “topping” body mists and see how they go together.

All in all, Snif Hot Cakes is a winner for me. This is absolutely beautiful and probably one of my favorite Snif fragrances to date. I hope they’ll consider doing a 3.4 oz in the future. Use code SNIF15 for 15% off your order plus free shipping and try Snif Pancakes for free! Your order comes with a 10ML and a 1.7 oz bottle. Try the 10ML and if you like it keep the bottle! If not, contact Snif for a prepaid label and ship the full bottle back!

Snif Hot Cakes is available now and Muse Approved.
