The mineral veil keep your make-up on. You need it!

btw they have starter kits that come with brushes, 2 foundations, a bronzer/enhancer, shimmer powder (sheeks/eyes), and the mineral veil for about 75 to 80 dollards. The kits are worth the money and give you really nice brushes that individually are over 20 dollars a piece~!

If you want a bronzer though, warmth can be a little orangy if you arent really careful applying it, the Faux Tan however isn't as orange and is more natural looking, in my opinion atleast.

Calvin Klein perfumes are just as curious in their scent, as mystical as they are. You could just almost react in any ways, and you would not be mistaken for being out-of-this-world. Calvin Klein perfume just does that to you, sweeping you off your feet. I did the cardinal sin of challenging the 'powers' of Calvin Klein perfume, and I was made to pay by - Buying three bottles of Obsession perfume.

Some time has to be spent on finding out more on Calvin Klein, the brains behind this line of perfumes that has taken the world by storm for the last couple of decades or so.

About Calvin Klein

$10,000 - That's all Calvin Klein required to set up the brand Calvin Klein in 1968. Obviously, those days that kind of money was considered huge by all stretch of imagination. What people do not know that the first client of Calvin Klein, Inc wanted to buy coats from Calvin Klein! And in fact, for some more years to come, this was Calvin Klein's rise to stardom - With coats for men and women.

It was not until 1981 that the world could see a CK fragrance in the market. The CK revolution indeed took off from here, and about 27 years down the line, we are looking at a line of about 30-35 brands, all captivating and enchanting in their own sense. Some popular CK perfumes launched in subsequent years were Eternity (For men and women), Contradiction (For men and women), Obsession and Euphoria.

In fact, the Euphoria perfume, the Eternity perfume and the obsession perfume have been the pillars of Calvin Klein's popularity in recent years. It will be worthwhile for us to know a bit more about them in detail.

Euphoria

Let your mood sway to the scent of exotic fruits and lush floral - at least that seemed to be the thought behind the Euphoria series of CK perfumes. The Euphoria perfume had been launched in 2005, for use by women. The Euphoria perfume was made of Lotus Blossom, Champaca flower, Liquid Amber, Black Violet and Mahogany wood - All special fragrances in their own right.

The starting line of Euphoria for women had a 1.7 oz EDP spray. For long after the perfume was released, the bottle of the perfume took people by awe. Never before did any perfume have a stylish bottle as the Euphoria leading a lot of people to believe that this indeed was once-in-a-lifetime collection for most of them.

The Euphoria perfume had one very recent addition to its collection. CK introduced the stylish looking and equally stylish smelling, 3.4 oz Eau de parfum in 2007. With Swarovski crystals embossing the bottle, and floral etches adoring the covering, the bottle, if not the scent was something to have in your bedrooms. Of course, you could wear this Eau de Parfum almost anytime of the year.

Obsession Perfume

 

Launched in the springs of 1985, the Obsession perfume of CK was one of its kinds then. Trust it had so many things that none of the other perfumes then had in them, which is why a lot of people absolutely adored the Obsession perfume series. Trust you would not have been faulted for getting obsessed with something after wearing this perfume - Such was the sensuality of the perfume.

Mandarin, Bergamot and peach provide the sensual feel to this perfume. Touches of lemon, jasmine and oakmoss provide the complimentary style, overall packaging it into one perfume that was a must-have then. I must say that 20 years after its release, this perfume is still something people wish to have in their rooms.

Available in sizes of 3.40 and 1.70 oz, you could wear Obsession perfume the best during evenings. A combination with either body talc or a deodorant, is the final touch to using the Obsession perfume - Dare I say, something that would get your near ones closer and more obsessed with you!

Eternity Perfume

 

Ask any CK fan on the CK perfume that he would ever remember for a long, long time, and you would get the reply "Eternity Perfume"! I am not sure why CK named this perfume series Eternity, but at least after wearing it myself I could tell you - Possibly, the name is inspired by the long lasting memory of the scent on our minds.

As a contrast, I found out later that Eternity symbolizes happiness, sensuality, and love. Well, you could gift a bottle of Eternity to your spouse on marriage day, and trust she would cherish this for time immemorial. The main elements of the Eternity perfume were light fruit notes, sandalwood, demure musk, and a thorough array of flowers.

These elements were mixed with sage, lily, apricot and freesia grass to form a scent that would just keep you asking for more. This mixture was good enough to provide a power packed, long lasting scent when you wear the Eternity Perfume.

CK 1 or CK One

CK One or CK1 as is popularly known by a lot of people, is one of those perfumes that you could lavishly use on your body. Even if the bottle gets done with, you would not mind getting a new one. Ever since its release CK One has been making waves on it being one of the most refreshingly relaxing perfumes. It is just due to this that makes CK 1 a top choice for casual use by people.

That's correct - You could wear CK 1 much the same way you would have worn talc on your body! Mandarin, Ginger, Amberwood, Musk and Patchouli make up this fun-looking and casual use perfume. Packed in 1.70 oz bottles and weighing 0.30 lbs, you are sure to enjoy every pound of CK 1 that comes through the nozzle.

Whether it is Euphoria Perfume, Eternity, Obsession or CK1, Calvin Klein has always inspired people with Calvin Klein Perfumes. One must admit - Each of these launches have been uniquely different from each other making us think of the next CK release already.

There is a well known fact that sense of smell has much longer lasting memories as compared to name or face of a person. Relishing this fact, fragrance is used as a personal luxury.

Perfumes, the word is meant to describe woman's fancy. Men too indulge in perfumes and fragrances as much as woman, so a stronger word to describe the ruggedness of man evolved was Mens cologne. Colognes are also known as EDT (Eau De Toilette). They are much stronger than women's perfume. They just not conceal body odor but also keep you fresh and attractive the whole time. They are the most concentrated and the longest-lasting form of men's fragrance.

Nowadays cologne manufacturers are working relentlessly for producing distinguishable products. Various signature brands of colognes are created from nine scents which are citrus, spice, musk, herbal, wood, powder, fruit, floral and leather.

Depending upon these scents, mens cologne fragrance is composed of three layers namely head notes, heart notes and base notes. Top notes are responsible for the initial impression due to light spicy and minty scent that vanishes soon. It is followed by heart notes that comprise of heavier citrus and stronger spices scents that lasts an hour. Finally the base notes come in action. These are the mature fragrances responsible for the sweet lingering impression composed of long lasting leathers.

Citrus is the common head notes described as fresh, assertive and sharp. Slightly sour, citrus notes smell similar to the smell of fresh oranges, lemons, grapefruit, bergamot and pomello. Eg calvin klein perfume truth has citrus as domination fragrance. They form the main constituent of men's cologne. Woodsy is the fragrances that are dominated by woody scents, typically of sandalwood, cedar and patchouli resulting in camphoraceous smell whereas leather is a family of fragrances which features the scents of honey, tobacco, wood and wood tars in its middle or base notes.

The composition of these elements certifies the hallmark of scents and duration of their stay. So people should have perceiveness regarding ingredients because colognes mingle up with the skin to release their fragrance and skin sensitive person can face problems if caution is not taken. One should never go for the impression offered by bottles.

Mens cologne is manufactured by process of alcohol and fragrance oil dilution. Jasmine, lavender and orchid extracts are the base of fragrance oil in colognes. Because of the too much efforts involved, colognes prices are quite high. It's not an easy going task to avail all these expensive products. That's why discount mens cologne has become a popular alternative. They are the most affordable fragrance that lends you with right aura and image to attract every heart and eye.

Various other popular colognes for men can be found under the brand names like giorgio armani cologne, Creed cologne, hugo boss cologne for man, fendi cologne whose exotic essence can provide you everlasting freshness and coolness. So enjoy the combination of rich and aromatic scents to impress your beautiful lady.

Does this mean im gay??

yesterday i heard some ppl talking at Bal Harbour Shops and they were saying that Straight men dont know Dsigners.. and Gay men do... and i know every freaking designer in the world... i have spent more than $20,000 in just clothes, not including shoes and watches and other stuff like belts, eyewear..etc.. plus my aunt is Carolina Herrera...thats why i know so many designers... and i was thinking about it and sometimes i do feel attracted to other men-...

Being attracted to the same sex is one sign for sure. But the real question is;

Can you match a belt to your shoes?

Perfume gift sets for women are holiday-savers. If you are quite not sure what to give your friendly next-door neighbor or a nice office associate, heading to the perfumery section need not to be that difficult anymore with pre-packed perfume gift sets for women. Gone are the days when you need to exhaust your sniffing prowess just so you can find the perfect bottle of scent that often ends up in the corner of bath area. Perfume gift sets for women are paired in many ways. Some of the boxes come as a complete grooming set, for fragrance layering, and, of course, by themes.

In this article we'll discuss more about fragrances for women and why it's the perfect gift for just about anyone - even for the most hard-to-pleased palate.

For Her Fragrances Varieties

While fragrance sets come in pre-packed nifty boxes, it is important that you can get even the tiniest of hints on what fragrance would she love. Some of the major categories of perfume gift sets for women that you need to sniff on include,

Fall Scents are perfect for those who need a quick vacation - even right at your very own cubicle. Spraying in fall scents are dominated by floral and oriental notes, warm and crisp hues that are perfect for the season. Fall scents are delicately formulated to achieve a right balance between wood notes and light floral scents. Fall scents are mixed with notes of vanilla, orange flower, cashmere woods, and burnt amber.

If she loves Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein, Very Irresistible by Givenchy, or the classic Chanel # 5, shopping for perfume gift sets for women during this season is as a wonderful opportunity to find the perfect box in this note.

Romantic Scents are, of course, one of the most produced and common fragrances for women. Romantic scents are often described to have mixed notes of abstract (not sweet) flowers topped with subdued Oriental scents. Best when layered, romantic scents often contain higher amount of oil for a long lasting scent that lingers in both skin and fabric. Often misinterpreted as sweet, romantic scents are dominated by seducing notes and elegance of May roses and Mandarin. Romantic scents, in essence, are best described as velvety.

If she loves Allure by Chanel, the bright orange-y bottle of Opium by Yves Saint Lauren, or Look by Vera Wang, going for scents in this line is definitely worth the smile in her face.

Summer Scents are those that are dominated with floral and sunny notes like grapes, peony, and white musk. Often playful, summer scents use subtle scents of blond woods or white musk as base to balance the happy scents played by Mandarin, wild flowers, and, of course, citrus fruits.

If she loves Brit Sheer by Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue, the light mood of Eternity by Calvin Klein, or Versense for Women by Versace, she'll definitely enjoy a box of perfume gift set in these happy tones.

Why Go for a Gift Pack Set

Perfect for Layering. Perfume gift sets for women often come in a complete set of items essential for layering. Perfume lotions, powders, scented soaps, and, of course, shower gels are some of the inclusives that come in the price tag.

Ahead of the Pack, that is, when it comes to the latest fragrances. Perfume gift sets for women are attractive simply because they give way to the brand's newest line of scent. Be the first one to wear the scent, even before others get a sniff of it.

Vera Wang Perfume

Seattle question! Where can I buy Shu Uemura cosmetics in stores (not online)?

I live in the Seattle area and want to know if there are any stores that sell Shu Uemura cosmetics. I don't want to buy them online, because I want to review the products for myself in the store so I can properly match them to my skin tone.

Although I have no idea where can you locate a Shu Uemura store in Seattle... But refer to the link... It helps you locate the nearest that they have available...

Oooo... but trust me... I have been using both Shu Uemura and MAC for a long long time now... I love them both as much... Well, for different product.... But you wouldn't regret getting anything from Shu Uemura.. Especially their eyeliner pencils... They're just so beautiful and long lasting...! Alright, enough said.. Hopefully you'll find the brand as awesome as I do..!

For you to have that perfect tan, Joanne King of Urban Retreats shares her beauty expertise. The first step according to her is remove body hair 24 hours before treatment. Next is to exfoliate using grainy scrub (devote more scrubbing time to elbows and heels) and then, moisturize your skin with hydrating cream. The technique with this treatment is to keep your underarm area moisturized so as to avoid the "fake" look of your tan.

Now that you know how to style your hair and have that tan, next step in being beautiful while staying under the sun is to complete your summer look. Make-up artist Bobby Brown tells that his beach bag has baseball cap, bottled water, iPod (with all his favorite songs), a great book and SPF15 lip balm. Vanessa Seward of Azzaro shares her beauty essentials and it has sun screen protection, vintage sunglasses, a book by Francis Dorleans, a large brim sun hat and a strapless bikini.

Experts may have a say on what to bring and how to look, but it all depends on you. Pack things that you enjoy and wear swimwear that best flatters your body. But always remember, bring face lotion for face, and always hydrate your skin. Facial lotion is essential so you stay beautiful and glowing even under the heat of the sun.

Is Bare Escentuals mineral make-up any good?

So my skin is pretty clear, just a few red bumps here and there from dry skin. I LOVE the "perfect, flawless" skin look and i heard Bare Escentuals mineral foundation is really good and lasts awhile. Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with it?

OMG i love Bare Minerals. i refuse to use anything else now. its so good for your skin and it feels really light on your face. its like those commercials for the broom.. once you try it ull never go back... Baby Come Baaaaack. omg lol im such a dork

A new beauty trend making its way to the top in the makeup market: mineral makeup. As seen on television and in cosmetic magazines, mineral makeup is a healthy form of foundation that gives you a long-lasting, natural glow. It has been around for about 30 years but is just now taking over the beauty industry by storm. Mineral makeup is made of all natural, finely ground minerals from the earth without any of the chemicals, dye and preservatives found in traditional makeup. This extremely popular makeup comes in variety of forms and prices ranging from $10 to more than $100. This latest beauty trend is a new found secret to a flawless face!

How does it work? Mineral foundation is created with pure mineral pigment oxides that lay on top of the skin to provide coverage and mica which reflects the light to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles thus leaving a youthful flawless finish. Don't be fooled, however. Advanced age isn't the only reason to purchase mineral makeup. Women and men of all ages use mineral foundation for radiant coverage. Mineral makeup not only leaves a flawless finish but also nourishes the skin. For years many women, and men, complained about the heavy, oily makeup that clogged pores. Mineral makeup does the opposite. It is made exclusively for sensitive skin allowing you to enhance skin care and skin appearance with a positive beauty choice.

To create the look: Use a wide, fluffy makeup brush to buff the loose minerals into skin. Be sure to cover the face entirely, reaching to the hairline, over the ear and down the neck. This will create an all over flawless look. Long lasting use of mineral makeup will also make your skin look better over time.

Don't just stop at foundation! In addition to mineral foundation, there are other beauty products available with minerals, even skin care. Finishing blushes, blush face covers and high lighters, eye shadow, bronzers, eye liner and lip products are just a few. Such products and can be found at your local convenience or drug store, or can be purchased from high end beauty departments at Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdale's, etc. The two top selling mineral makeup brands are Bare Escentuals and Sheer Cover. Bare Escentuals was first exposed on QVC and info commercials. They have now expanded into their own store and also can be found sold in high-end department stores. It is said that most users start off their mineral experience with Bare Escentuals. Bare Escentuals now have much more comprehensive lines of mineral makeup including RareMinerals which is are new mineral based skin care product.

A must-try!! Once you try mineral makeup you will never go back to your traditional makeup. Not only does it look natural and exponentially better than typical makeup, but mineral makeup can do wonders for the skin and acne care. Try several different shades and brands to find the one perfect for you. Mineral makeup is the number one choice for beauty, perfection and a flawless face.

Pale foundation? In the UK?

hi :]
i have a real trouble getting foundation, i always try the lightest colour a brand has and it is still too orange.
i have tried:
-Maybelline pure liquid mineral
-Rimmel London stay matte
-Estée Lauder Double Wear Light
-L'oréal Paris true match minerals
-Maybelline pure foundation mineral (powder foundation)
and some own brands.

If you are extremely pale, then I'd DEFINITELY try Illamasqua. Their foundation shade range extends from white (as in, white as a sheet of paper!) to coal black. You will absolutely find a shade that's pale enough for you! If you've got oily skin, I'd try a powder foundation - it will be the most long lasting and help keep the shine away.

I'm not sure where you're located, they've only just started opening counters around the UK in the last year or so - you can order online so if you're not close to one of their counters perhaps you could email and ask them whether they'd do some foundation samples for you? (Stockists are listed on the website, by the way.)

http://www.illamasqua.com/store/

If that's out of the question, then I'd try Chanel - they're very much geared towards the paler folk.

"We are thrilled to be opening our first boutique in the cosmopolitan city of Delhi. Estée Lauder is already well known with many women in the capital and we are looking forward to make our best selling products available to these customers. We are confident that the brand will be a huge success in this market," said Sonia Michon Floc'hlay, Vice President and Regional Brand Director, Estee Lauder Europe, Middle East & Africa. "I was always fascinated by Indian culture and beauty and there are lots of Indian communities around the world who truly believed in our brand so this inspired us to open our stores in India. The Mumbai store was our first ever stand alone cum luxury store, then, we thought of Delhi, as this is the capital city and women here aspire to buy selective luxurious products" she added.

The store will feature products which include Re-Nutriv luxury skin care line, Advanced Night Repair, Double Wear long-lasting liquid and powder foundations. Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick in an elegant golden flute case, and fragrances including Estee Lauder Pleasures and Pure White Linen. "Taking cues from the spring-summer runways, Estee Lauder's has some amazing products like limited edition Fuchsia Now Colour Collection which is a feminine, flirty and fun colour collection and encapsulates the trend of wearing bold colour combined with soft neutrals. Then there is the limited edition Fleur de Lys Shimmer Powder, with a palette that combines fresh pink shades with soft muted neutrals” said Anjalee Gaekware, Sales and Education Manager, Estee Lauder India.

Not only this, the brand has introduced a state-of-the-art Advanced Skin Care Profiling System for the first time in India through this store. This revolutionary technology is able to analyze skin from multiple perspectives to help identify the perfect skincare regime quickly and accurately. These include sebum, lines and wrinkles, visible spots, radiance and pores, making it Estee Lauder's most comprehensive skin analysis ever. The whole diagnosis takes less than five minutes and allows the Beauty Advisor to tailor the perfect skincare solution for her customer.

Then there is unique engraving machine that allows customers to personalize products including Estee Lauder's golden powder compacts, lip glosses and lipstick cases with a monogram, name or a short message! So for Sonia which one is better market Delhi or Mumbai, "I think Delhi for being a capital city is very critical, and moreover India is a long term investment plan for us, so we have planned to open two more in the coming months in Delhi. We have already finalized two locations as well

Vurt or Polo Blue Cologne?

Can someone tell me which is better?
I have smelled Polo blue and it smelled SO good.
But i have no idea how Vurt smells but people
are saying it smells good too.

Polo blue is better.

Polo blue is distict, sophisticated, and really unique.

Vurt is cheap, and smells like a better quality axe.

Personal hygiene is the most important thing for everybody. That’s why a good bath is advised but it protects you from the woes of bad odor only for short while. At this point, deodorants, perfumes and colognes come in action. The use of fragrance has now become widespread because smell has much long lasting memory impression as compared to face or name. So not only women also men should relish this luxurious experience to seek remarkable freshness throughout. This is here,http://www.overstockperfume.com "> mens cologne comes into existence.

Wearing cologne for a specific occasion is an art. It should always be in accordance to wearer’s personality, character, body scent and skin chemistry as not only you are affected by the fragrance you apply also the people who are exposed to it. So always be choosy about the exotic essence.

One of the best selling fragrances in the market is Versace. Versace is an Italian design house founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. Versace fragrance is offered in many types for men and women. Few of the best selling products offered by the great brand are:-

Blue Cologne Jeans Versace

Versace Red Jeans Perfume

Cologne Jeans Metal Versace

New Versace Perfume etc

Versace cologne is just not meant to conceal body odor, but provide a fresh and attractive look. It emits a deep vibrant fragrance of oak moss with warmth of guaiac wood. It is highly consistent fragrance meant to revive your senses with its pure masculine strength. Cologne jeans metal Versace, launched in 2000, is a rich, wonderful scent enclosed in a very stylish metal bottle. It enriches you with the power of metal that attracts women’s like magnets. It simply adds confidence and improves your body language and boosts your love life with the incredible blend of musk, amber, vanilla, freesia, jasmine, nutmeg and many more. They are manufactured by unique process of alcohol and fragrance oil dilution where jasmine, lavender and orchid extracts are mainly the base of fragrance oil.

Versace also offers Versace womens perfume. It possesses a gorgeous floral scent of raspberry, plum, roses and cassis. Introduced in 2000, it is a perfect feminine scent composed of oriental flowers and fragrant woods to attract every heart. It’s a pure delicate scent result of a sheer fusion.

Gals are more attracted to guys who are conscious about style and fashion, so choose Versace and pamper yourself with the exotic fragrances. But always have perceiveness regarding ingredients as these elements certify the hallmark of scents and duration of their stay. Choose a one that helps you to become desirable in every eye.

Make- up is considered as an art as well as a creative nuance in the modern era. People these days like to follow the fashion trend of the day. The scenario is consistently increasing to look good and follow the make-up trends that are based on the type of skin and the color of the hair. This enables us to have an attractive make-up that looks consistent with the overall texture of the skin. It should be in such a way that provides a pleasing feel. The article presents few keys on the make-up that opens the doors of lovely face that is followed based on the skin type that you possess.

Make-up for cool skin and dark hair

People with cool skin and dark hair look good with strong but cool shades of cosmetics and flashy colors will not serve to their need. The colors with high density will present a contrasting effect to the ivory skin shades; cool tones bring about a pleasing effect visually, and merge well with the skin tone. Some of the tips that can help you to enhance your beauty with the application of make-up are:

The first and foremost that has to be included in your make-up is foundation or a tinted moisturizer, try and use a light shaded moisturizer, you can also add a blend of blusher. Dust the excessive loose powder.

The application of eye shadow looks great and you can smudge a cool ivory shade on the eyelids till your eyebrows. In case you find the eye shadow gathering in the form of creases then you need to use a cotton bud for blending. It will look good and attractive if you add an extra pinch of the mocha eye shadow on the eyelids. This looks good on the cool eye shadow coloring and it will provide a soothing effect to emphasize the color of your eyes.

After the eye shadow is done, the eyelashes need to be thick with the mascara; you can apply two thin coats of black mascara so that you can have a beautiful frame for your eyes.

The eyebrow shaping has a very crucial role in creating an overall pleasing look, make the eyebrows in place with an eyebrow brush and in case you are not satisfied with the look then it is important that you hold them in place and just blow some hair spray on it.

The best part of the application of lipstick comes now; you need to choose a cool shade of a berry lipstick so that you get a clear polished look, for a long lasting appearance. Although there are lipsticks available you can even try this after the application of one coat, blot it with a tissue and then you can re-apply so that the amazing effect lasts longer.

Thus the make-up provides you with a refreshing look, it feels great when you moving with the trend of high life style goals.

Tinted Lip

you're right about burberry weekend, my brother uses it and it does smell nice, fresh yet masculine. you can also try jo malone scents like nutmeg & ginger, it's a good scent and not so common, or the l'occitane range, may be feuilles d'oranger, a unisex scent actually but a male friend of mine uses it and it smells really good on him, plus it's quite unique and long lasting. I use their mimosa/magnolia scents and one spray would last me the entire day.

Name of this Hugo Boss fragrance/cologne?

My classmate had this very strong, musky, peppery cologne. When he first wore it, I coughed because it was so thick. But I just love it and I want it too, we (him incl.) don't know the name. All we knew was that it was Hugo Boss.

Boss do quite a range now Sir:

BOSS Bottled -
BOSS Collector's
BOSS In Motion -
BOSS Pure -
BOSS SoulB -
BOSS Selection

If you visit their site it gives you the complete fusion of varieties contained in each fragrance when you roll your mouse over each.
I would guess its the BOSS In Motion range .Suits You Sir

Smelling good is as important as looking good to make a lasting impression. Imagine yourself in a situation where a person (handsome looking guy or a beautiful girl) you have eyeing for some time comes and stand close to you. You are excited; however, in another moment you can no longer bear to stand near him/her. Why? Due to their extremely bad smelling body odour! At such moments you will wish hard for a good perfume to gift it to that cute boy or girl!.It doesn't matter how cute or good looking you are, when it comes to the unbearable stench of smell, the person standing next to you will either be extremely uncomfortable in your presence or will taunt you about it. In both case, it will be very embarrassing for you. Smelling good is like an attractive tool that can make you irresistible and pleasant to be with.

How to Smell Good?

There are very less people born with less body smell or a sweet smelling odour. Most of us are still blessed with less body odour that a little wisp of a good perfume can take care of. However, there are some unlucky souls who have to suffer some very mortifying consequences of extremely bad body odour. However, there are few simple ways, which if followed regularly can help you reduce or control bad body odour, enough to save you from embarrassment.

Take a Bath Regularly: Firstly, one needs to correctly understand that when treating bad body odour, our aim is just not to smell good or not to smell bad, but to curb the very root of body smell to smell fresh for longer periods. Therefore, to keep you fresh bath daily, if possible twice a day. Bath with warm water and add a dash of sweet smelling essential oils or a dash of lemon juice to your bathing water. This will provide your body a lingering sweet fragrance. After your bath deodorise yourself immediately after a towel dry. Use a roller deodorant as they give better results. Concentrate more on areas which sweat more, like arm pits. Wear light clothes like cotton or linen to keep your skin dry and breathable.

Invest in good Perfumes: Use a good and strong perfume. Since, you have a strong body odour; you need to know which scent will suit you the best:

• Eau De Cologne/Toilettes: These contain only 3% to 8% fragrance oils and are thus not very strong or long lasting. People with strong body odour should not opt for these, as their body smellr will get stronger with these colognes.
• Eau De Parfum: These are stronger than colognes and long lasting too. These contain 8% to 15% fragrance oil, thus giving a stronger fragrance.
• Perfume: these contain 20% to 30% fragrance oils and are the longest lasting of them all. They are expensive but are the best option for people with strong body odour.

Use them after you bath and preferably on the skin, to avoid perfume spots on your clothes and for a long lasting effect.

Aftershave is getting difficult to find. Is it ok to use EDT?

A lot of the mens fragrances don't include a splash type aftershave (at least not in the places I go!), so the choice gets a bit restricted. Is it safe to use EDT which everyone sells? What do the fragrance houses expect guys to use if they don't make an after shave?
My local supermarkets sell - er - Lynx. And more Lynx.
When I look in scent counters, out of say 20 scents, maybe 4 include aftershave, and probably 1 or 2 that I like enough to pay proper prices for.

No, using EDT is not the same as using an after-shave. While EDT is specifically made for the fragrance, after-shave contains chemicals that help prevent fungal growth in the shave area while providing an antiseptic protection for nicks and wounds caused by the blade, which hosts trillions of microbes.

After shave lotions or balms, in addition, keep the shave area softer while EDT, being based on alcohol, can cause it to dry and get rought and hard, giving your face an ugly, dry look while making it difficult to shave.

If the brand of fragrance you use doesnt make an after-shave with the line, you might wish to look for others that include one. Alternatively, you can select an after-shave lotion or balm that is fragrance free- so that it wont mix with the scent of your perfume. Nivea, as far as I know, makes fragrance free after-shave balm but I'm sure there are other varieties available.

Perfumes has always been considered an extension to the overall personality of its wearer, and more so today. Hence, the market is profuse with a wide array of mens' and womens' perfumes. But perfumes can also turn away people if not chosen properly. Here are a few tips to choose the right one for you:

Perfumes come in many variants. Here are some:

Perfumes: whether it’s womens' perfume or mens' perfumes, these contain the most fragrance and are quite expensive. However, a small amount last for a long time.

Eau de Parfum: After perfumes, the Eau de Parfum or EDP category probably ranks second in strength and longevity. Hence it is popular both with men and women.

Eau de Toilette: Eau de Toilette or EDT is also quite popular especially with office goers, as its scent is very mild and pleasant.  Though it is cheaper than the EDP, yet it is not as long lasting.

Eau de Cologne: Eau de Cologne or EDC holds the smallest concentration of fragrance. Though it is the cheapest among perfumes, yet it fades quite fast.

Perfume oils: This kind of perfumes available for both men and women too are a good buy as you can carry them around. They are often presented as a balm-style formula in a small pot, making them perfectly portable.

Deodorants: These are perfumes preferred mostly by teenagers and young adults.  Popularly known as deos, these are applied to the body mainly to reduce body odor. You should use non-scented deodorant, and wear perfume on top, because perfume just covers up, it doesn't stop the smell.

Whatever, perfumes you prefer, always remembers that it speaks volumes about you. Infact, perfumes and colognes build an aura around the person who wears them.

If you are still confused about choosing the right brand for yourself, you can try perfumes like Nina Ricci Premier Jour which has a musky touch to it. Cool waters from Davidoff have a fresh and crisp note to it. Burberry, Christian Dior, Elizabeth Arden, Lancome, Prada, Liz Claiborne, Moschino, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Estee Lauder, Bvlgari, Victorias Secret and Chanel are some reputed designer couture perfume-makers.

Though heavy on the pocket these perfumes do deliver. Wearing them in itself is an indulgent pleasure.

Online marts are the best options, where you can buy perfumes at a much lesser price compared to physical marts. Most of these online marts stock perfumes from different brands so that you can choose the one that suits your pocket, taste and style.

Perfumes perks up the mood, makes you feel confident and builds up the oomph factor too. They have the quality of making one feel prepared for an occasion. So go ahead and get yourself the perfume of your choice!

What is the best type of concealer that is inexpensive and doesn't clog your pores?

I am currently using Lancome Dual Finish Versatile face powder (that my mom passed down to me) and Ultima II Wonderwear foundation as concealer. I want to use other stuff, so I need a bit of help choosing...

I really studio sculpt concealer from MAC it's like 20 something, but a really inexpensive one that i really like is victoria's secret very sexy concealer, i like the consistency of it and it doesn't cake, but they don't have a hugh range of colors like MAC. but if you do want to try that one, i'm sure you'll find one that'll work for you.

Roughly speaking, a perfect look can be acquired only if you take into consideration all: eyes, complexion, lips, hair, perfume, outfit, accessories etc. It is in vain a perfect hair do if the make up leaves much to be desired or the clothing seems to came from the grandma's wardrobe. Try to be moderate in all, try to create a balance among all the look elements and you will see that the general impression will be a favorable one. Concerning make-up we have prepared for you some pieces of advice which will get you out of a difficulty.

Hydra oil- Madonna says that she uses products that stretch out and invigorate the skin. Today the products for skin rejuvenation are the most demanded. Which is the best method to keep the skin youth and beauty? Well, it's continuous hydrated, of course! The secret of Madonna is the following: hydrate the complexion every day with some drops of avocado oil. This natural anti- inflammatory alleviate the tired skin and hydrates profoundly. Try yourself!

Make up removing diapers- Sofia Coppola - recognizes that she is to tired to take off the make-up when she comes late in the night from an event and she wants to sleep. But she knows that if she doesn't removes the make up her skin will get old faster and the wrinkles will be more deeper. She uses make up removing diapers without alcohol with oat extract. With one she removes the make up and with the other the toxic residues. It is not good to save some diapers, using only one because the only thing you will do is to spread the toxins all over your complexion.

Cream face- Victoria Beckham is a very beautiful woman with a lot of sex-appeal. Everyone is asking about how she managed to keep close to her the vicious David. The answer is simple: she is a self - confident woman, who knows what she wants and how to set free from difficulties. Concerning taking care of her complexion, Victoria uses high quality products because she knows that one shouldn't risk with the face's health. On her daily routine she uses for her complexion a moisturizing cream. Minerals and oxygen are again the best choice. Try the products for face tending from Vichy or the day and night creams Nivea Oxygen Power. The complexion will thank you!

Foundation- Jessica Alba tries to maintain her complexion always clean and radiant using weekly masks for deep cleaning of the pores. But the work doesn't stop here. After applying these kind of masks, the complexion remains fragile and without no defence. So, foundation has to be a nourishing one and very protective. The young actress chooses the foundation with minerals. It covers very well imperfections and it is so good for the skin you can sleep without taking it off. I recommend you the foundation with minerals from L'Oreal. It's not so expensive and good for all types of skin.

The powder- Beyonce recently confessed that she had inferiority complexes by the fact that she had a big face. The roundness of the face gave her troubles and she didn't know how to create the effect of an elongated complexion. This was until a stylist told her that the secret consisted in applying a powder twice shades darker than the natural skin color. But not all over the face, for God Sake! Only on cheekbones and temples. I recommend you the powder Dual Finish from Lancome.

Anti- circles - Mischa Barton is one of the most fond of life stars from Hollywood. She wastes almost all nights in luxury clubs. But how she does to appear fresh and natural each time she is in the front of lime lights? She uses a very efficient anti- circles. If you have problems too with dark blemishes under the eyes, use Anti-Cernes Multi- Action from Yves Saint Laurent. You'll look younger and lively even if you didn't succeed to sleep only a few hours.

Cheek color - now when spring is closer, the cheek color gains again his rights. Mandy Moore said that the beauty and the feminity of a woman can be found in the way she renders evident her cheeks. If you want to create the illusion of higher cheekbones put pinkish blush on the extremity of the cheekbones. Another advice: replace the big and thick brush with a smaller and practical one. By this way the blush won't spread all over your face. The best product concerning blushes is Blush Me from Sephora. I use it for several months and I'm in love with it and it is not expensive.

The mascara- Michelle Williams said in an interview that she doesn't imagine how women would appear if the mascara wouldn't be invented. Probably without charm and sex-appeal. The mascara layers offer to the eyelashes a certain fine presence and mystery. If you are passionate of well outlined eyes try the mascara from MaxFactor. Stars use it because of it's long lasting.

The lipstick- Angelina Jolie - knows when to use a dark lipstick or a nude one. She knows that both are sexy and the thing that matters the most is the attitude and the way the lips stick joins the rest of the make up. If you go to a ceremony dinner and you have to dress elegant choose a red lips stick from Channel. Classical never goes out of fashion! If you go to a business lunch or a dinner with friends choose a creamy and warm nuance lipstick. Those from Lancome or Clinique are very good because are rich in vitamins and minerals are assure to you and continuous moisturize of the lips.

I own a successful beauty center in Bucharest - capital of Romania for 5 years. Some of my foreign clients ask me to make a blog about beauty and I made it.

"I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine"

(Anon)

When fragrance speaks, the words get lured.  This is why perfumes are considered as one of the best gifts for different occasions - be it Birthday, Anniversary or Wedding Day.  The magical fragrance of a well prepared perfume can guide our senses to a mystic land, where we can only think of leading our life in a romantic way.  If the fragrance of a particular perfume matches the personality of the user, it can create magic and can leave an everlasting mark.

The Fragrant Past

At present there are different brands with various sensuous fragrances that are ruling the market.  People from every class are getting the opportunity to use various fragrances.  This picture was a bit different in the past.  At that time, it was only the royal classes and the aristocrats who were able to use perfumes.  It was very costly as well as rare.  Once France introduced the chemical based perfumes, the common man got the chance to entice his/her senses.

The word perfume has its origin from a Latin phrase “Per Fumus” which means “through smoke” or something that is carried by the smoke.  This phrase was used for incense that was the earliest form of perfumes and was discovered in Mesopatamia around 3000-4000 years ago.  Later, the French people improvised the Latin Phrase and it was known as “Parfum”.It was around 3000B.C.  when the Egyptians became aware about perfumes.  They carried out several expeditions under royal patronage and found new fragrances.  The Romans, Arabians as well as Asians played a major role in the development of natural perfumes.  These perfumes were extracted from flowers, as well as from different trees.  In the later period, the Islamic cultures introduced the use of spices and herbs with the natural perfumes and thus, the modernization of perfumes began.

To extract aroma from different natural products, the Islamic cultures used the distillation technology.  The technique was adopted by the Western countries and was further developed by them.  France played a leading role in the development of perfumes and due to its initiatives, chemical perfumes were invented.  This invention changed the whole perfume industry and France became the prime hub of the perfume industry.  These path breaking inventions and developments also enabled the common man to enjoy the luxury of perfumes that was once limited for the Aristocrats.

The Aromatic Present

At present, the perfume industry has developed itself manifolds than the past and almost the whole world is under its reach.  The reputed Fashion Houses are still producing costly perfumes with enchanting and long lasting fragrances.  At the same time, there are the soothing chemical perfumes that cost less and can be afforded by everyone.  The Western countries are still ruling the perfume industry.  Once perfumes were used for the rituals, then it entered the aristocrat’s world.  At present, it is a part of our daily life and every kind of celebrations.  It is also considered as a precious gift item on different occassions.

Different Shades of Fragrance

There are several categories of perfume that are decided according to the presence of the essential oils in them.  Perfume is actually a mixture of denatured ethyl alcohol and essential oils.  Among these two, the quantity of denatured ethyl alcohol remains around 78% to 99%.  The quantity of essential oils varies between 22% and 1%.  The best quality of perfume is itself known as Perfume (22% essential oils) whereas Eau Fraiche (1% to 3% essential oils) is the lightest of the all the perfume categories.  The other categories are Eau de Parfum (EDP 15% to 22% essential oils), Eau de Toilette (EDT with 8% to 15% essential oils) and Eau de Cologne (4% essential oils).

The Enchanters

At present there are thousands of perfume brands in the market.  All these have their own identical fragrance and own ways of luring our senses.  Some of the most famous perfume brands are Azzaro, Benetton, Burberry, Bvlgari, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Cartier, Chanel, Chopard, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Elizabeth Arden, Ferrari, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Guerlain, Hugo Boss, Issey Miyake, Jesus Del Pozo, Kenneth Cole, JLO by Jennifer Lopez, Kenzo, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, Swiss Army and Tommy Hilfiger.
