What fragrance to gift this Christmas? Ask MicroPerfumes!

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

OMG. I. LOVE. PERFUME!  I just met an incredibly easy way to find out what fragrance  to gift - by - actually gifting a mini version of it. I just found out about MicroPerfumes. 

Remember the inch of fragrance you would get at the department store for a sample? It let you try before you buy to see how the scent wears on you, dries down and lasts. I loved getting these samples because some bottles of perfume can be a significant investment.

I received samples of: Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, which I like. I wear Chic by Carolina Herrera weekly.

A sample of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, and any and nearly all Chanel scents are a favorite to me. I really like French fragrances.

A big surprise came in a sample of Baccarat Rouge 540! Wow and pow. It has a complex note to it and I swear I get 3 different scents as it dries down from bold, to powdery floral to a soft amber.- in my opinion.

Black Opium by YSL was another sample that in my opinion is as classic as  Chanel. I like this scent though it is not a scent I would buy for me. Having a sample to try, wear and experience before buying is crucial when investing $100 or more per bottle. 

This is where MicroPerfumes comes in!

Enter MicroPerfumes, the premier online store for 99¢ fragrance samples from every brand, along with the option of buying the full-size bottle directly (plus free shipping!). Whether it’s just one sample or 16, fragrance-deprived shoppers can sample as many as they want. Spray into your face without fear, but be careful, or you might end up addicted to the scent.

Camron Collard, Chief Growth Officer at MicroPerfumes, explains: “We understand that some people are still reluctant to enter stores, and with e-commerce still the preference, we can provide a fragrance sample before you commit hundreds of dollars to the full-size bottle, in the comfort and safety of one’s own home.”

 Now - if you need a stocking stuffer for a Christmas gift, a purse size or travel fragrance, getting stocked up at MicroPerfumes is the way to go! I'm getting samples of Creed now - this is one of the scents that I have heard about for some time though have never purchased due to the investment. Now, I can try it, and decide after wearing if it's something I want to guy. 

Final note. This lil' gem! 

I love the Tom Ford brand, and their fragrances and getting one is quite the treat. I don't think I ever would have picked up a bottle called "Bitter Peach" - though, it is my new best friend and favorite. Oh the spicy, sweet, glowy, warm lingering of a bitter peach! 

So glad I met this fragrance through MicroPerfume and now it is officially on my Christmas list!

Valentine's Day Beauty Resources

Hi ya Gorgeous,

I have gathered some beauty resources for you and the upcoming Valentine's day celebrations, soirees and shin digs you will be a part of!

I like Valentine's day, but I still think it's a made up holiday to help retail businesses give their bottom line a boost in the beginning of the fiscal year.

So get ready to meet the new matte lipsticks from Rimmel London, some amazing fragrance choices from FragranceNet.com and a great affordable translucent powder ready for a night out or travel from Hard Candy Cosmetics!

CYBER MONDAY is here! Who's shopping where?

Hi ya Gorgeous,
It is Cyber Monday and if you don't what that is, it's time you learn. Way back in the day where most homes had dial up internet but business had cable internet, meaning, faster internet, people would go to work on Monday and do a lot of Christmas shopping.

Now, no one has dial up and almost everyone has a high speed connection, with some of you lucky folks having the google fiber.

So today is usually a day for deep discounts when shopping online.  Unless you are Walmart who rolled out their Cyber Monday sales and deals on Black Friday.

I adopted the REI mantra of "get outside" on Thanksgiving. We had a beach picnic turkey frying extravaganza and it was delish.
But I digress.

Back to Cyber Monday - be sure you look and find this set from Premium Blend by Munsingwear. It's the most classic scent and new old school guys can wear this with confidence and when you give it to them ladies, it will instill confidence.

This set is everything a man needs to fill his dopp kit to go to the gym or on the road or just have on hand at home.

This kit is available at Macy's or the Original Blend website! Get it before it's gone! Just $70 for everything!

• Original Penguin's new fragrance ORIGINAL BLEND is a refreshing clean marine scent immersed in a striking crafty bottle design of substantial stature and striking color.Evoking a sense of style and temptation ORIGINAL BLEND opens with a burst of Italian bergamot kaffir lime and crisp apple.
• The scent infuses into a blend of crushed lavender shaved nutmeg and brushed suede and is then finely wrapped with a dry down of sandalwood musk and warm amber.
• This fresh aquatic fougere is the perfect blend of heritage wit and masculinity certain to stimulate the senses and stop by-passers in their tracks.

Fragrance Face Off: Versace Crystal Noir vs Miami Glow by JLO

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Caturday!

Today I have a blog post with a video for you on one of my favorite subjects...fragrance!

I absolutely love fragrance and I think that perfume is the best accessory!

Makeup University received two fragrance samples, Miami Glow by JLO and Versace Crystal Noir.

I really like both scents, though I love the Versace Crystal Noir.

Details on Versace Crystal Noir: According to Donatella Versace, Crystal Noir is a rare essence, sensual and delicate. The central note of the composition is mysterious gardenia, fresh, sensual, luminous and creamy, reproduced by 'headspace' technology,. Amber and musk in the base make the scent dark and mysterious, very sensual and distinct. The fragrance was created by Antoine Lie in 2004.
( I can hardly believe this fragrance is ten years old? About $40 online)

Notes on Miami Glow by JLO
Miami Glow creators drew their inspiration from the enormous success of its forerunner, Glow. This perfume is ment for very young women. Miami Glow is the soul of this city with its palm trees, beaches, parties, freedom and passion. Jennifer Lopez says that beside her home town, New York, Miami is her favorite city in the world. It starts with lush and juicy notes of pink grapefruit, coconut water, passionfruit and blackcurrant. The heart is a blend of orange blossom, helitrope and cyclamen. The drydown is sensual and sunny in a sensual vanilla, musks, blond woods and amber vail. Miami Glow was launched in 2005. The nose behind this fragrance is Caroline Sabas.

(This is about $20 at retailers)

I got my fragrance notes from Fragrantica.com

Enjoy what's left of summer!

7 Worst Powders Ever

Our readers say these powders make them look cakey, orange, or even worse -- break out

This is a TotalBeauty.com face makeup article Powder is one beauty product you can't live without.

Check out this list before falling prey to another disappointing product. See list

NO. 7: L'OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH NATURALE SOFT-FOCUS MINERAL FINISH, $15.25

Hello Gorgeous! Oh-it's that time alright. It's already pre-holiday season retail according to my local Costco due to the fact that there are halloween costumes on one side of the aisle and Christmas wrapping paper on the other. So to keep in step, here is your first fragrance holiday round up series!

Beyonce Midnight Heat is another winner in her line of perfumes, and it's available at mass retailers everywhere and sells in price ranging from $33 to $59 depending on where you buy and what size.

 Halle Berry has a new scent in Closer which sells for about $35, and is available as of September 2012. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier combined unusual contrasts of sensual and feminine notes and classical masculine fougere accords in this composition. The result is a modern feminine floral - woody - fougere fragrance. It opens with accords of ozone, wild raspberry and water lily. The heart includes mimosa, the actress’ favorite flower, along with violet, cedar and fougere accord. Vanilla pod, mahogany, cashmere and musk in the base form a lingering trail. (fragrance notes from www.fragrantica.com)

Playboy VIP-another scent in the Playboy line of fragrances-it definitely is a younger scent and would appeal to a college demographic. It opens with accords of nectarines and peony, with apple, red fruits and vanilla flower in the heart and the base made of cashmere, sandalwood and musk (fragrance notes from www.fragrantica.com) It sells in the $20 range.

Now the Krigler OUD for Highness 75 can be purchased online or at The Plaza in New York. A 3.4 oz bottle is $505.00. Custom Made fragrance created in 1975. Joining again the collection in 2010. Oud For Highness 75 has been created in honor of its Royal Highness of Jordan combining Crushed Royal Asian Oud, Amber, Sandalwood, Saffron and Honey.

Combining cultures and traditions, this fragrance is a Royal testimony to Oud. (notes information from www.krigler.com)

 So get busy saving for your holiday splurges so you can be a savvy shopper and save money, not use credit and incur fees and have a fun family time without the pressure of bills calling! Here's a short wrap up video!

Derek Jeter fragrance for Dads and Grads by Avon

A Look into Makeup Artist Fiona Stiles' Makeup Bag

Find out what the biggest celebrity makeup artist uses on her celebrity clientele now

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article From Halle Berry to Jessica Chastain, there isn't a Hollywood face, celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles hasn't touched. So we took a peek into Stiles' makeup bag to find out what she uses to turn celebs into red-carpet beauties. See what we found. Take a peek

Hello Gorgeous!

 I love Avon fragrances and this one created for any man of any age is a spicy warm masculine scent!

You can get some for your grad or Dad by contacting a local Avon lady, ordering off the main AVON website or ebay. I wore it for a full day-and if it smells good on me, it's going to smell great on you!

Derek Jeter Driven by Avon is a Aromatic Fougere fragrance for men. Derek Jeter Driven was launched in 2006.

 Top notes are spices, grapefruit and oakmoss; middle notes are lavender, rhubarb, mint and cardamom; base notes are musk and bamboo. This perfume is the winner of award FiFi Award Best Packaging Men`s Popular Appeal 2007.

Fragance for you? Fragrance for your stocking stuffer? Fragrance as a holiday gift for the
office party?

Try the new duo of Adidas sporty scents for men and women!

I've tried both and they are a clean citrusy blend that wears well and dries down to notes that are smooth and appealing.

Each is affordable, makes a great gift, and can be purchased at the local Walmart, Target or drugstore near you.

If you feel nervous about giving fragrance as a gift, don't be! In my opinion, fragrance is a great gift any time of the year for any reason.

How do you know if a person is a fragrance junkie like me or just a special occassion wearer?

Well my answer to that is the fragrance junkie is always wearing something-whether it is a scented hand lotion, or a layering of scents from body wash, to lotion, to a finishing spritze of parfum.

The special occassion wearer simply dabs a bit on the wrist for the "special" occassion and giving that person a scented hand lotion may be better than a bottle of perfume.

Remember for your wedding, it's an amazing memory maker to pick out a specific bridal scent-something that will trigger the memories of the day with a whiff of the scent.

Enjoy some Adidas Moves Pulse today! It retails for about $19.

Official "Update Your Resume" month guest blogger

Hair and Makeup Shortcuts Inspired by New York Fashion Week

Beauty experts share the timesaving tricks that they use backstage on models

This is a TotalBeauty.com make up article From flat ironing in a flash to using one key makeup product, experts backstage at NYFW give us the CliffsNotes for getting pretty in a pinch. See shortcuts

Welcome guest blogger Anna De Souza and her informative article on how to update your look to go along with your updated resume! Enjoy!

Anna De Souza
Reporter, Lifestyle / Beauty / Fashion

Pound the pavement with the right base. Begin your beauty regime with a primer that fills in fine lines and pores for a flawless finish! Give Smashbox's Photo Finish Foundation Primer a try. It helps to inhibit the destruction of collagen so you can look flawless for years to come at your corner office.


Sleepless night from nerves? Cover up those under-eye bags, puffiness, or any other perfections with Tarte's Dark Circle Defense. The finely milled light refracting minerals actually brighten skin to help camouflage dark circles, puffiness, refness, fine lines and wrinkles. And there's 56% reduction in eye puffiness after 4 weeks--but we know you'll nail that interview the first go-round!


Sparkle and glitter aren't office appropriate. Opt for a matte shadow in a natural hue on the lids. We love Revlon's ColorStay 12 Hour Eye Shadow in In The Buff. Better yet, go for a thin line of smudged pencil eyeliner. Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil is great. Nylon and a number of other ingredients lock in moisture and expand and contract with facial movements without creasing to create a long-lasting, luminious eye.




Stop fussing with and reapplying your makeup! Ditch the trips to the ladies' and mist on a product that holds concealer, foundation and eyeshadow in place for up to 16 hours. Skindinavia Makeup Finishes creates a flawless look so there's less touch ups throughout the day. Since it resists heat and humidity, the mist is also great for when that mid-interview perspiration occurs!

OTHER TIPS:

•For your face, you probably won't need much more than concealer and loose powder. If you have blemishes or uneven skin tone, by all means, use a foundation! But if you don't need much coverage, just skip it.
•Wear lipstick, not lip gloss. Gloss is too shiny and youthful for a formal occasion like an interview.
•Well-groomed brows show that you pay attention to details. Tweeze any stray hairs, and if you have brow gel, use it to set your brows in place. (A tiny bit of hair gel, diluted with water, can do the same thing.)
•Applying a little bit of blush makes everyone look healthier. Use this rather than bronzer for a natural-looking, healthy glow.
•Don't wear any perfume. "Oh, but I love my signature scent," you might be saying. Yes, and it probably smells lovely, but what if your interviewer has an allergy? Skip it.
•Unless you have naturally clean, even, hangnail-free nails, get a manicure. It doesn't matter whether your nails are long or short, but they should be neatly filed. Don't opt for a French manicure -- many find it dated.

Experts school you on how to blow dry, curl and straighten your hair

This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article Getting your hair done at the salon is such a treat, but what if you could work your hairstyling tools like a pro? Now you can with these expert tips. Get tips

Oh yummy yummy! I am such a fragrance junkie! I just love scents and fragrances and perfumes of all kinds!
It was a real treat to get a sample of these two scents; one by Faith Hill called Faith and the other by Halle Berry called Pure Orchid.
What I love about these most is that they are light and perfect for finishing out the summer, and if you haven't picked your signature summer scent yet now is the perfect time because there is still plenty of summer time left!

What I really really like about these is they are the perfect purse atomizer size. I like to refresh my scent as the day goes on and with this in my summer safari bag and as I am getting ready to get on the road again, I now have a quaint size that can travel with me and is TSA size approved to board the plane.
I don't know about you, but I am so over having TSA change their mind on what size is approved and which isn't when I am going through security and the security staff just happens to like what's in my caboodle. Rawr!

So, pick up a Pure Orchid by Halle Berry which is a floral woody fragrance or a Faith Hill parfum which is a sparkling floral bouquet ( no wonder I like this one so much!).

These are great gifts, good for backpacks going "back to school", perfect for destination weddings, traveling or just keeping in your purse or desk drawer at work! For only $10, you can't beat the treat!
