I'm a Dot Girl!

Crowdtap recently gave me a very charming bottle of Dot Marc Jacobs perfume to sample and share with my friends. I think this is seriously the cutest perfume bottle I've ever seen!

I am, however, pretty picky about perfumes and scents in general so I wasn't sure if I would care for this perfume. Dot says that it: "carries a lush, exuberant floral scent... with top notes of red berries, mid notes of jasmine, and base notes of creamy vanilla bean".  I found it to be a light, pleasant fragrance - probably because I'm drawn to most things with jasmine in them.
My only issue with this perfume is that it wears off very quickly, I'm not the type to want my scent to travel into the room 5 minutes before I get there but I would like a subtle hint to remain all day and this seemed to fade to almost nothing within a few hours. They do have a sweet purse-sized version which would take care of this issue and look 'totes adorbs' in your purse!

As part of my Crowdtap opportunity, I got to host a Dot Girl Cocktail party so I wrangled up some of my best girlfriends and put together a Girl's-Night-In spa night.

Tons of yumminess!

We had tons of yummy food and drink (of course), dotted (painted) our own glasses, applied super cute dotty nail decals and did our own manicure/pedicures, we had a paraffin hand bath (great excuse for me to buy one - got a deal on Amazon), sampled the perfume, and enjoyed a makeup demo by one of the girls. 

Makeup demo!

I asked all of my guests to dress like the Dot Marc Jacobs perfume bottle, with prizes going to the top three winners. The overall winner received the purse-sized mini bottle of Dot (as well as some other goodies).

Congrats to Mikea!

My guests all really liked the scent of the Dot perfume and didn't object to me spritzing not only their blottercards but themselves as well. 

Nobody left the party empty-handed, I gave each of my guests a goody box filled with treats and a sample of the Dot Marc Jacobs perfume. It was a delightful night!
