Different people react to smells differently. One and the same fragrance for two people can mean pleasure or headache. That’s why aroma-psychologists recommend to never use a mono-fragrance, especially if your ultimate goal is to attract and seduce. The more complicated your fragrance cocktail, the higher is the chance it will turn your date or lover on
Some people prefer to mix several

Beauty Review: Givenchy Rouge Interdit Shine
I should have called this review a story about my first perfect red lipstick! Packaging:Beautiful, elegant and unusual. I am not sure what you’re supposed to do with the little hook at the end… maybe just pull on it… but if you were wondering, I don’t think you can use it as a key chain
Shade:# 10 – Sun Shine (red with light orange undertones and golden shimmer)Scent:Light sweetStay-on Power:

Beauty Inspiration: Giselle Bundchen
Donatella Versace once said about Giselle: “What I love about her is her sensuality and energy”Agree completely: not only Giselle has gorgeous body but also a vibrant open magnetic personality. I really like Giselle! She inspires me. She is one of the models that makes me pause over a photo and have a closer longer look and then open magazine again and have another look. Giselle has this great

Beauty Talk: Sun Damage in Kids and Young People
This post was inspired by a couple recent articles I read on UV damage and UV protection. One of them talked about sun-bedding and attempts to introduce age restrictions on sun bed use in New Zealand and Australia (nzherald.co.uk). Why age restriction? Because very often due to complete unawareness (or maybe wrong priorities) people under 18 bake themselves to a crisp in sun beds as well as on

Beauty Buy: Guerlain Meteorites
If you could see me right now, you would laugh at a little happy dance I’m doing over here! Singing “Finally it has happened to me!” I bought the famous Meteorites powder by Guerlain. It took me such a long time to finally lay my hands on this precious powder. I wanted to get Meteorites a looong time ago. First I had other priorities and then I couldn’t decide on the right shade. I started by

Beauty Review: Caress Evenly Gorgeous
One of my favorite parts of the day is a long hot morning shower. I know showers should be cool and short but this habit of mine is unbeatable. I get so much pleasure from those 20 minutes under the warm relaxing streams of water running down my skin… What can be better? I guess only a shower with a nice smelling bubbly body wash… There is a big choice of washes and shower gels out there and we

Beauty Buy: La Mer SPF 30 UV Protecting Fluid
With spring and summer comes the time to decide on a product for daily sun protection with a broad spectrum and a higher SPF of at least 30. Just when I was dwelling on what to use this summer… La Mer happened to come out with their new high-tech SPF 30 UV Protecting Fluid. Girl must guard her skin from sun damage, right? She doesn’t have to spend so much money on it though… But I went for a
