perfume whisperer
How to you put on perfume? Do you spray your wrists and pulse points? Do you rub your wrists together to activate the perfume? Or, have you been told not to do that because you will damage the scent molecules, thereby “changing” the fragrance? Do you dab demurely behind each ear, and maybe in your…
If you don’t have a glycolic toner in your skincare regime, now is the time to get one! The number one way to be sure you do not look radiant with baby smooth skin is to have dead skin building up on your face and in your pores. Ew. That’s right, EW. All skin types…
A month of using Lise Watier Sublimessence twice a day has made positive changes in the condition of my skin. It feels smooth, has a gentle glow and feels fresh. I’ve been using less concealer and powdered foundation than usual. I love how my skin feels immediately after applying it. It imparts an instant dewy…
Well, not exactly, or not exclusively, or at least, not what I expected. When trying a new Tom Ford Private Collection release, my expectations could be called cautiously optimistic. I like a few, love three, (Velvet Gardenia, Moss Breches & Black Violet, all discontinued) and am indifferent to the rest – for me. For men,…
There is one perfume I am regularly reaching for, which is unusual for me. Specific perfumes that I enjoy “regularly” are few and far between, as my nose is fickle and sensitive. I either love something one day, then wonder what I was thinking the next. Or love something upon first spray, then have to remove…
I am always getting asked to post more makeup looks, so I thought this easy peasy bronze and brown toned look would be a great start. I used the following makeup items, with details below the photo. The photo above was taken when our darling rescue cat, Boo Boo Kitty, was purring around my feet…
I started a special skincare routine around 10 days ago. And by special skincare routine I mean I added a serum to my morning and evening application of the things after cleansing. This isn’t just “a” serum, though, it’s more like The Serum because this one bottle of goodness is doing what it promises. We…
I hate to wear heavy makeup. I wear only the minimum amount necessary, which is very little. My go-to “face make up” for every day is my handy dandy Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base. It gives just the right amount of easy to control sheer coverage, and my skin doesn’t hate it. It has a…
As time marches by, I have learned many important beauty lessons. The number one lesson is that it does not matter how much makeup we buy/use, nothing looks good if the canvas, our skin, isn’t healthy. Whenever someone asks me about “beauty secrets”, or how to look your best in the latest and greatest beauty…
The September 2015 release from L’Artisan Parfumeur, Noir Exquis, should have perfume lovers excited. Especially if they love sultry, dark and subtly sexy scents. Noir Exquis is a collaboration with master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. He has created some of my favourite perfumes, including L’Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu, the beautiful Neela Vermeire creations, Bombay Bling and Trayee…
