I guess this is one of the surprises I can ever come across
with. I haven’t expected full sized products to sample and yet here they are!
Pink Sugar Cosmetics is a new brand that
has been gaining attention in the bigger cities but I’m still glad that I got a
chance to try out their products. As of now they have body mists in uniform sizes
and have already three collections that range from the happy, fruity to naughty.
I received the Mad for Melon from the Fruity Collection and the Be Happy from
the Happy Collection.

Mad for Melon is “a
refreshing blend of fresh melon slices and crisp champagne. The combination
brings a celebratory scent for your senses.” Its style is said to be fresh,
unique and crisp with sweet melon and champagne notes.
There’s
no denying that it’s sweet and absolutely lively. Spray this on a bleak day and
you will still feel like sunshine. However the sweetness can last for a long
time, too long compared to what a good old citrus-green tea lover would like. But
Mad for Melon has a good blend of fruit and sweetness and can transform the
mood in just a single spritz.
Be Happy is “a carefree and light blend of floral extracts and a gentle
hint of yellow plum. Be Happy is just right for those who don’t like strong
scents”. For its style, it goes for a carefree, light and floral appeal, and
features lily, white freesia, mimose and yellow plum notes.
Be Happy has a somewhat
toned-down fragrance that suggests crisp and clean notes. I would like to blame
it on the freesia. This makes it just the ideal scent to spray for a leisurely
time in the beach or just a walk outdoors. I honestly can’t stop sniffing it
off my wrist. It also has impressive staying power.
In all honesty, for a body mist,
it actually can give the bigger names in the fragrance field quite a
competition. It’s nothing overpowering and yet, it’s one of the non-green tea
citrus scents that I actually like. The cleaner, crisper tail stays
behind and something tells me it is a good after-shower scent too.
Between
the two, I prefer Be Happy the most but I also acknowledge that they are
instant mood-lifters and are actually quite affordable. For only Php299-349
depending on the collection, the bottles all come in generous 250ml sizes.
I like that Pink Sugar Cosmetics
has dared to defy expectations and make their brand more defined, carving a niche of its own in the market. I already have
high hopes for this name. So what’s next for Pink Sugar? Follow them to find
out!
