How and Where to Apply Perfume to Make It Last Longer

Coco Chanel once said that a woman should apply perfume in those areas where she would like to be kissed. While this is most likely true (and utterly French), consider the follow guidelines as well. The Pulse Points The "pulse points" are locations on the body where the blood vessels are closest to the skin. These spots emanate heat, which can help fragrance to emanate from your skin into the air. (It's the same principle used by essential oil diffusers). Apply your perfume to these points — namely, the inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind ear lobes, in the cleavage, behind knees, and the inner elbows. As you wear your perfume throughout the day, it will react with your body heat and continue to emit scent. A Word of Caution Despite the great Chanel's maxim, perfume does not taste good.

TEENAGE SKINCARE

Like pretty much  everything  in your early teens—your first crush,  your first period , your first bra purchase—navigating your first skin-care routine can be particularly confusing. It’s as if all of a sudden, your hormones have all teamed up and decided to hit you with a one-two punch of oily skin and acne, and you’ve got to figure out how to deal. My own personal introduction to skin care came at the ripe age of 13 by way of a mail-order skin-care kit that Jessica Simpson swore cleared up her acne. In other words, I had no idea what I was doing. My teenage daughter will need the same tender loving care in her routine as I do.  I did not get much help in the way of hoe to treat my skin, But I can break that cycle by educating my daughter.   At any age you must clear on what your skin type is.Then pick products accordingly.   CLEANSER A foaming cleanser is going to be the most gentle.  You want a product with salicylic  acid.  This is best for fighting acne.  Since my daughte

How to Get Purple Smokey Eyes

To start, Kelsey adds a generous amount of Avon True Color Flawless Loose Powder under the eye to catch any eyeshadow fallout. To create the purple smokey eye, Kelsey uses the purple tones of the Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Romantic Mauves. Begin by applying the #1 lightest purple shade with a flat brush on the entire lid, starting at the crease and working your way up to the brow. Apply the #2 shadow shade from the Avon Eyeshadow Quad just on the lid. Use the #3 shade in the outer corners and inner corner of the eye leaving the center of the eye light. Use the #4 shade in the outer corners and follow the lash line to intensify the color on the lid. Kelsey also uses the #4 shade on the bottom lash line to smoke out the color underneath. To make the purple eyeshadow pop, press the #1 shade again on the lid. Line the lash line with True Color Glimmersticks Eye Liner in Sugar Plum and blend it with your finger or brush to give it a smokey effect. To finish the eyes, use Avon Tru
