    Zendaya’s Favourite Perfume

    Zendaya’s favourite perfume is Lancôme Idole, and it’s easy to see why. Who is she? With so many celebrities endorsing perfumes, one reason such products sell so well is that they are popular. The fragrance world is growing yearly; another celebrity we’re keen to learn about is Zendaya.

    A brief insight into the actress/singers’ history

    The world is filled with beautiful women, and this American actress, dancer and singer is no exception.

    At 27 ( born in 1996), Zendaya Marée Stoermer Coleman has the world at her feet. She has received Golden Globe awards and two Primetime Emmy awards. Zendaya Marée Stoermer Coleman began her career as a backup dancer and a child model for Macy’s, Melvyn’s, and Old Navy.

    She made her television debut in 2010, starring in the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up, and has since been featured in several films.

    Her feature film debut came in 2017 when she starred alongside her current partner, Tom Holland, in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

    It is just one of the fantastic Marvel films my two sons and I have enjoyed watching. She also starred in the films’ sequels.

    Another popular film, The Greatest Showman, is based on a true story. In it, Zendaya portrays a trapeze artist who falls in love.

    The film was a massive hit when it was released in 2017 and is still very much watched today.

    Zendaya’s talent doesn’t stop there, though. She has also ventured into the music world with her delicate vocals on the hit record Rewrite The Stars from the same film/musical.

    Her most significant success as a musician was collaborating with Zac Efron. A song that reached the top 20 charts.

    Lancôme Idole

    This is a popular scent from the Lancôme range of fragrances. It is a reasonably intense eau de parfum that lasts for around eight hours, so a light spray is recommended not to overwhelm. Any fragrance should be subtle on the skin.

    Lancôme Idole was created in 2019 with a bottle that shows femininity, class and simplicity. This female scent doesn’t necessarily need lots of sparkle and glamour to be popular. After all, we don’t wear the bottle. It’s the scent that matters.

    On its first spray, this fragrance gives an instant hit of rose, musk and fruit notes.

    It is a very womanly fragrance with a strong kick. As the fragrance settles, there’s a definite scent of Pink Pepper and Bergamont.

    The White Mask and Cedar are noticeable as the base notes come through later. It has a very clean scent with such famous fragrance notes.

     


    I’m sure it will be a hit for many women who like to make a statement yet still have that touch of class and summer vibe. As the name suggests,’ Idole‘ brings a fresh fragrance to life for any woman who dares to be outspoken, strong and empowered.’I’m sure it will be a hit for many women who like to make a statement yet still have that touch of class and summer vibe. As the name suggests, ‘Idole’ brings a fresh fragrance to life for any woman who dares to be outspoken, strong and empowered.

    I would say that it is a more suitable scent for an evening out than daytime perfume. It might be too heavy for an office or retail shop working environment.

    Lancôme knows how to create a variety of scents. When we compare this one with La Vie Est Belle, there is a noticeable difference as the latter is a much sweeter and more versatile fragrance.

    Many women love solid scents and can carry them well without overpowering them.

    There are many positive reviews online from customers who have bought this classic scent.

    ‘Beautiful, long-lasting and elegant’ says one. ‘Perfect for the confident women‘.

    ‘It lasts all day and smells so fresh and sexy‘, said another.

    This fragrance also comes in a refillable bottle that can be taken to selected refill points of sale, so you will never have to throw your bottle away.

    Zendaya is Lancôme’s youngest endorser, who wears its fragrance and is the face of Lancôme Lash Idole mascara.

    Johnny Depp Fragrance

    The Johnny Depp fragrance, “Sauvage” by Dior, has become synonymous with timeless sophistication and masculine allure. Whenever a Sauvage by Christian Dior advertisement graces our screens, the unmistakable aura of Johnny Depp envelops the room, even before our eyes lift from whatever we’re doing to catch a glimpse of the TV screen.

    Since its inception in 2015, the partnership between Dior and Depp has been synonymous with Sauvage, a fragrance that made waves upon its debut and continues to captivate audiences today.

    Johnny Depp fragrance

    The essence of Sauvage’s allure is amplified through a cinematic journey orchestrated with a heavy-metal theme that resonates deep within the senses. As the advert unfolds, the unmistakable silhouette of Johnny Depp emerges, guitar in hand, setting the stage for an odyssey into the heart of the desert’s arid expanse.

    Accompanied by a soul-stirring soundtrack, Depp’s voice reverberates across the barren landscape, narrating a tale of elusive quests and intangible desires. With every chord strummed, the viewer is transported on a dusty, solitary drive, drawn irresistibly into the embrace of the desert’s dry heat and desolate beauty.

    Yet, amidst the vast emptiness, there’s an electric anticipation, a palpable yearning for something beyond the horizon, something unseen but deeply felt. Like a whisper carried on the wind, Depp’s voice weaves a narrative of searching for the ineffable, a journey fueled by an unquenchable thirst for discovery and adventure.

    In the world of fragrance advertising, the collaboration between Dior and Depp has transcended mere promotion, evolving into an immersive experience that lingers in the mind long after the screen fades to black.

    Through the lens of Sauvage, Johnny Depp’s enigmatic presence ignites a sense of wanderlust and mystery, inviting us to embark on a voyage of the senses, guided by the call of the wild and the promise of the unknown.

    In this scene, Johnny Depp’s enigmatic presence takes centre stage as he embarks on a ritualistic journey into the heart of the desert’s desolation.

    With a purposeful stride, he retrieves a spade from his car’s boot, glancing at the imposing figure of a wolf perched proudly atop the roof of a Dodge Challenger, its keen gaze observing his every move with silent intensity.

    Undeterred by the barren expanse stretching before him, Depp begins to dig a hole in the unforgiving sand, the rhythmic scrape of the spade punctuating the stillness of the desert air. As the earth yields beneath his efforts, he pauses, his hands reaching for the symbols of adornment adorning his form – a necklace and bracelets – and with a solemn reverence, he lowers them into the depths of the sandy abyss.

    This symbolic act, laden with meaning and mystery, speaks volumes of Depp’s affinity for roles that transcend mere performance, allowing him to embody characters shrouded in enigma and intrigue. Like a master of disguise, he seamlesslymesmerisingh the essence of the characters he portrays, effortlessly inhabiting their complexitieepitomisesces with a mesmerizing authenticity.

    As the face and embodiment of one of Dior’s most iconic colognes, Depp epitomizes the essence of Sauvage, a fragrance steeped in timeless allure and masculine sophistication. Just as he sheds the trappings of adornment to embrace the raw beauty of the desert, so does Sauvage reveal its essence through an intoxicating blend of aromatic notes.

    From the crisp freshness of bergamot and pepper to the earthy warmth of vetiver and pamesmerisingch element intertwines to create a scent that is at once bold, refined, and irresistibly magnetic.

    In this mesmerizing tableau, Johnny Depp is a testament to Sauvage’s enduring allure. This fragrance mirrors the enigmatic spirit of its wearer and beckons all who encounter it to embark on a journey of discovery and self-expression.

    Fragrance notes in Sauvage :

    Top notes: pepper, Calabrian bergamot

    Middle notes: Sichuan Pepper, lavender, pink pepper, vetiver, geranium, patchouli, elemi

    Base notes : Ambroxan, labdanum, cedar

    A brief insight into the actors’ life

    Johnny Depp, born John Christopher Depp II on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky, embarked on his acting career with a modest start, making his film debut in the horror classic “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984. Though horror might not be your cup of tea, it was a significant stepping stone for Depp, laying the foundation for his future success in Hollywood.

    However, his portrayal of the titular character in the romantic fantasy film “Edward Scissorhands” in 1990 truly catapulted Depp into the spotlight and captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Directed by Tim Burton, the film showcased Depp’s exceptional talent for portraying eccentric and empathetic ccharacterisedrning him critical acclaim and establishing him as one of Hollywood’s most versatile actors.

    Depp’s career has been characterized by a penchant for taking on diverse and unconventional roles, from the swashbuckling pirate Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise to the enigmatic and troubled writer J.M. Barrie in “Finding Neverland.” His ability to inhabit a wide range of characters with depth and authenticity has cemented his status as one of his generation’s most iconic and influential actors.

    Beyond his acting prowess, Depp’s personal life has also been the subject of public fascination, from his high-profile relationships to his passion for music and art. Despite facing various challenges and controversies throughout his career, Depp’s dedication to his craft and commitment to pushing boundaries on and off-screen inspires audiences worldwide.

    Edward Scissorhands

    Despite my aversion to horror films, Depp’s early foray into cinema with “A Nightmare on Elm Street” marked the beginning of a remarkable career that would see him transcend genres and captivate audiences with his unique blend of charisma and talent.

    However, his portrayal of the titular character in “Edward Scissorhands” etched his name into the annals of cinematic history, captivating hearts with his poignant performance as the gentle yet misunderstood outsider.

    In Tim Burton’s whimsical tale of love and acceptance, Depp imbued Edward with a poignant vulnerability and childlike innocence, endearing himself to audiences and solidifying his status as one of Hollywood’s most captivating actors.

    With his expressive eyes and soulful presence, he breathed life into a tragic and enchanting character, leaving an indelible impression on all who witnessed his performance.

    For those like myself who prefer films with magic and romance, “Edward Scissorhands” remains a timeless classic that continues to enchant audiences with its whimsical charm and heartfelt storytelling. While Johnny Depp’s journey as an actor has taken many twists and turns since his debut, his role in “Edward Scissorhands” is a testament to his enduring talent and the enduring power of cinema to touch our hearts and ignite our imaginations.

    He almost seems to be one of those actors for whom you never see what he looks like. He has played a few unusual characters who contrast his appearance with his actual features. Especially for films such as Edward Scissorhands and Alice In Wonderland.

    Alice In Wonderland

    Fifteen years later, in 2005, I was entranced by Johnny Depp’s performance in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This film presents Depp in yet another transformative role, portraying a whimsical candy maketantalisingerds children through the fantastical world of a chocolate factory.

    In his quest to identify a child who can resist the irresistible allure of the factory’s sweets, he discovers a kind-hearted soul who proves worthy of inheriting the factory and the coveted “golden ticket.”

    Accolades have poured in for Depp’s performances, including numerous Golden Globe, Academy, and BAFTA awards. In addition to his acting prowess, Depp is also an accomplished musician. His musical journey Recognisinghis mother gifted him a guitar at twelve, and he soon found himself playing in several bands.

    Recognising his talent, even after dropping out of school, the principal encouraged him to pursue his dreams of becoming a musician when he attempted to return just two weeks later.

    As for “Sauvage” by Dior, it exudes a captivating recogniseline Fougère scent reminiscent of classic aftershave fragrances.

    The type you recognise when you walk past a male wearing it. The solid and bold notes reveal instant sex appeal, and it’s a head-turner.

    Even after its first spray, the initial pepper and Calabrian bergamot scent lingers, and we’re left with a crisp, clean, and welcoming cedar and lavender sillage. It’s a very appealing, a touch fruity, and wearable scent.

    Why do we love Sauvage so much?

    Dior has created a sophisticated scent in a clean and simple-styled bottle. There’s no design or cap to grab our attention and make us want to purchase at first sight. It only takes a sniff of this beautiful scent for men and women to fall in love with the iconic fragrance.

    Dior wanted a scent that matched the scene of nature and earth and was distinctive yet popular.

    ‘Sauvage’ is a French word that means ‘wild’ and refers to nature and animals.

    If we use the word to describe a person, the meaning is different and refers to someone being ‘unsociable’ or ‘fierce’.

    There’s nothing unsociable or fierce about this fragrance—quite the opposite. It’s not expensive for a designer fragrance, either—it won’t break the bank. Samples are available on eBay, which is great to try before investing.

    Harry Styles’ Favourite Fragrances

    Aah.Harry Styles. Who has not fallen in love with the 30-year-old charismatic pop star? He has become the man of the moment of 2022/2023. With three Grammys and six BRIT Awards to be proud of during his career as a solo artist, we are curious to find out what Harry Styles’ favourite fragrances are.

    A Brief insight into the pop singer’s history

    photo © Fragranceswithlove.com

    Harry Styles first showed on our screens as a curly-haired 16-year-old contestant on The X Factor in 2010.

    He was formed as part of the hugely successful pop group One Direction, with Liam, Niall, Louis and Zayn, after the judges decided he lacked the experience to become a solo artist.

    After the massive success of one of the biggest boy bands in the world, Styles embarked on his successful career as a solo artist in 2016 and has seen the past 13 years grow into the huge success that he is today.

    With sell-out concerts, film debuts and an endless stream of pop/soft rock to be proud of, Harry has become an endearing, humorous and stylish icon that young and old alike follow.

    There seems to be no stopping the charming and entertaining lad from Worcestershire, England. During his school years, he began his music career as the lead singer of the ‘White Eskimo’ band while working part-time at a bakery in Holmes Chapel.

    After winning seven Brit awards and releasing numerous top-charting albums, the One Direction group went on hiatus in 2016.

    Harry has turned into a style icon who sees him wearing Gucci and Louis Vuitton clothing, and wearing nail polish, flowery/glitter blouses, and shirts has always been a talking point for many journalists and interviewers. Styles says he wears unique clothing because he feels “it looks cool,” and we must agree.

    There aren’t many male celebrities that can carry off such flamboyant outfits that somehow look better on him than on women! Fans around the globe love him no matter what, and he enjoys the freedom to wear what he likes.

    After all, it shouldn’t be about what other people think, right? Regarding style, Harry certainly stands out in his field.

    From the designer clothing, the most talked about trademark floppy hairstyle, cheeky charm, and a great choice of designer fragrances to wear, it’s no wonder people have fallen in love with him.

    Many celebrities have a signature fragrance, and Harry is no exception.

    The face of the Gucci campaign represents Styles’ signature scent, Memoire D’une Odeur by Gucci, released in 2019.

    With its designed bottle, this fragrance is gender-neutral and well-balanced, matching a fragrance suitable for both men and women.

    Gucci D’Une Memoire Odeur Edp 60 ml Spray

    Its clean, almost Ancient Greek-style pillar and mint green glass bottle show that Gucci wanted to keep this fragrance neutral yet have enough of an impact for both genders. This has become very popular in fragrance over the past few years.

    Anything goes nowadays. The more catchy and dazzling an artist is, the more they create positive attention and a sense of freedom for others to do the same.

    Harry Styles was chosen as the face of Memoire D’une Odeur due to his way of seizing the day and strong family support, giving him freedom of expression and a carefree approach.

    This fragrance may not scream out like many others in the perfume world, but it certainly makes an impression.

    It is the perfect scent to wear during any season and wears well in the heat.

    A suitable daytime fragrance, Memoire D’une Odeur brings us closer to the summer weather yet also works well as a nighttime scent because of its energetic and fun appeal on a night out.

    The celebrity loves this fragrance so much that he admits to wearing it to bed. “I like a fragrance with some emotion behind it,” says Harry Styles.

    That’s love!

    Memoire D’une Odeur is available in different sizes and strengths on eBay.

    Fragrance notes:

    Top notes: chamomile and bitter almond

    Middle notes: musk, jasmine and Indian jasmine

    Base notes: sandalwood, vanilla and cedar.

    Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanilla

    Another favourite Harry fragrance is Tobacco Vanilla by Tom Ford.

     Vanille En Tobacco 80ml EDP  

    This unisex perfume, created to leave a powerful impression, is the most popular of the Tom Ford collection. The tobacco and wood-infused scent launched in 2007 is also part of the “As It Was” singers’ collection. It’s little surprise that a world superstar would opt for one of the best-selling luxury fragrances to date.

    It has elegance, seduction, and sophistication all in one bottle, and the notes blend seamlessly. Tobacco Vanille has an intense, creamy, and warm scent, and the fragrance should be sprayed lightly to avoid overpowering it.

    It’s all about making an impression first and then catching the gorgeous scent midway for maximum effect.

    This fragrance sits in the Asian family and has notes of spices and vanilla. Although it is a gender-neutral perfume, some would say it is a little too masculine, so it is worth trying a sample before you buy.

    Fragrance notes:

    Top notes: tobacco leaf, spices

    Middle notes: tonka bean, tobacco blossom, vanilla, cacao

    Base notes: dried fruits and woody notes.

    Tobacco Vanille is more suitable for wearing during the cold and winter as it loses its appeal with the heat and sun. It has an acquired taste if you love woody and strong fragrances.

    From classic scents like Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille to more unique and unexpected choices like Gucci Mémoire d’une Odeur, Styles’ fragrance preferences reflect his distinctive taste.

    Aromatherapy Oils

    Aromatherapy oils have many benefits, and their scents are uplifting and gorgeous. Lavender, peppermint, rosemary, lemon, and others can all positively affect our minds, bodies, and well-being.

    What is aromatherapy?

    You must not rely on the information on our website as an alternative to medical advice from your doctor or another professional healthcare provider.

    Whether we are treating or preventing an illness, aromatherapy is a popular therapy that many of us will go to when other methods, such as taking medicine, are not the chosen option for us.

    Aromatherapy oils can help with headaches, anxiety, and skin inflammation. Breathing in an essential oil significantly impacts the emotional part of the brain, as the molecules hit the olfactory nerves and send a message to help with a particular ailment.

    They can also be mixed with carrier oils to apply to the skin safely.

    Many will try avoiding medication for headaches or buying expensive creams to alleviate dry or sensitive skin conditions.

    There are lots of ways that we can use aromatherapy oils.

    Scented sticks, body creams, lotions, diffusers, salts added to the bath, and facial steamers all work well.

    Lots of these scents are also used in the perfumes we wear today.

    The safest way to apply essential oils to the skin is to mix them with a carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba.

    Aromatherapy oils

    Lavender

    This is one of the most popular essential oils used today and has a distinctive scent everyone recognises.

    Lavender has a beautiful scent and rich colour, making it a great addition to the garden.

    Relieve headaches- Breathing in Lavender and oil can help treat migraines and headaches.

    When we get a headache or migraine, which can be triggered by anxiety, stress, dehydration, as well as hormones, Lavender is a go-to oil to help alleviate such issues.

    Improves insomnia and sleep- I have used a lavender-scented pillow mist spray when I have found it difficult to sleep.

    When the brain doesn’t switch off, we need a helping hand, and Lavender is the perfect scent to relax the mind and switch off from the day’s worries and stresses.

    You can also apply lavender drops to the temples to soothe and reduce inflammation in the blood vessels.

    Antioxidant—Like tea tree oil, Lavender has excellent healing properties and, with its antibacterial qualities, helps heal cuts and burns on the skin.

    Promotes healthy skin and hair— add a few drops to your shampoo to stimulate hair growth and follicles.

    Potpourri—Lavender has a delicate yet distinctive scent, so it is commonly used in potpourri and perfumes.

    There is the benefit of instant relaxation to help you wind down, a positive effect on the nervous system, anxiety and depression.

    It’s a great oil to add to a burner, as it will add a beautiful fragrance to the home and bring a sense of calmness around you.

    Lavender is gentle enough to be used directly on the skin, which is why it is so popular. It is perfect for those with age spots, wrinkles, or acne.

    Aromatherapy oils
    Lavender plant

     Peppermint

    I have been drinking peppermint tea for several years, and peppermint oil has many health benefits.

    Digestion -Anyone who suffers from IBS, a chronic gastrointestinal condition, will know that peppermint can help to ease the pain and digestive issues. Sufferers, in general, may notice an improvement from drinking peppermint tea or using capsules.

    Headaches and muscle pain- Peppermint is a versatile, essential oil to help soothe headaches and muscle pain.

    Aromatherapy oils

    Carrier oil on eBay. Sweet Almond, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Castor, Argan, Hemp, Neem 

    Drops can be rubbed into the temples to relieve the headache, provided they are mixed with carrier oil if applied directly to the skin.

    It is also a great essential oil for helping with congestion and respiratory conditions and relieving sinusitis.

    Adding a few drops of peppermint oil to a diffuser will give a refreshing and energising aroma to kick-start your day.

    For anyone who finds it hard to concentrate some days, inhaling a few drops of peppermint oil can help stimulate the brain and increase blood flow, which in turn will help you feel much more alert.

    We all go through stress and anxiety through life, and whilst mild experiences are natural and we need to go through such rollercoaster journeys, peppermint oil can help if it all gets a little too much.

    Oils can be added to a warm bath and inhaled as you soak and relax.

    Ylang-Ylang

    Apart from being the main fragrance note in the iconic bottle of Chanel No. 5, Ylang-ylang is a trendy fragrance in many perfumes and cosmetic products.

    Reduce stress– Ylang-ylang is a versatile oil with antioxidant properties and many health benefits. Inhaling ylang-ylang oil can help to calm and alleviate stress.

    Self-esteem– Feeling a bit low and need a self-esteem boost? Inhale Ylang-Ylang essential oil to uplift and positively impact your mood, or apply it to the skin.

    Hair and skin—For those who suffer from hair or skin dryness, a few drops can be added to skincare products to help with skin health and regulate oil production.

    Ylang-ylang

     

    Lemon

    As soon as we hear or read the word lemon, we can almost smell the citrus scent of this potent oil. Lemon has many uses: It’s refreshing and can help with many ailments.

    Anti-inflammatory – As with many essential oils, lemon is just as effective in helping with anxiety and stress.

    With its anti-inflammatory and anti-stress properties, some say it can positively impact and help improve cognitive ability.

    Teeth and gums—Lemons and essential oils are an excellent alternative to expensive toothpaste, mouthwash, and cosmetic dentistry for those with gum problems or who want to remove unwanted stains from teeth.

    Colds -We are all victims of dreaded coughs and colds, so try using lemons to help relieve the symptoms. Add a few drops of the essential oil to a carrier oil before applying it to your throat or chest.

    If your nose won’t stop running, add carrier oil and dab a little of the mixture to your nose.

    This is an excellent idea for when we desperately need a good night’s sleep and sneezing and coughing keep us awake.

    Hair—If your hair needs some added gloss and shine, adding lemon essential oil to your shampoo or conditioner can help reduce dandruff and dry skin.

    Aromatherapy oils
    Lemon

     

    Frankincense

    Help with sleep—Frankincense is another essential oil when you don’t always have a good night’s sleep.

    You can inhale Frankincense directly from the bottle, add droplets to a tissue or cloth, and pop them under your pillow.

    Frankincense blends well with other oils, such as lime, lemon, Lavender, ylang-ylang, and sandalwood, so it is a great all-rounder.

  • Perfumes

    Zodiac Sign Perfume

    Perfume scents are a personal choice. Not everyone will like a solid or overpowering scent, just as not everyone will like wearing too strong a perfume. Zodiac sign perfume can make a difficult choice a little easier when we struggle to know what scent to buy someone.

    It’s also a nice touch if we want to go down the personal route rather than just picking a pretty-looking perfume bottle off the shelf. There are several ways of finding the perfect scent. Buying a matching fragrance to someone’s perfume or aftershave collection, ask what fragrance family they like to wear.

    Let’s look at a fun way to find the perfect scent.

     

    Elements of the zodiac signs

    Every zodiac sign will fall under one of the four elements: fire, Earth, Air and Water.

    Fire– Aries, Leo and Sagittarius

    Those who fall under the Fire element are known for their passion, inspiration, creativity and competitiveness.

    Earth– Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

    People who sit within the Earth element are down to earth and patient.

    Air– Gemini, Libra and Aquarius

    The Air elements are typically social, naturally friendly and communicative.

    Water -Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

    Those who sit in the Water element are shy, reserved and sensitive.

    Capricorn traits are discipline, seriousness, independence, and tenacity. They like to be in control and don’t believe in waste. They are very generous to others and help those who need it but rarely ask for it themselves. Capricorn women are great at finding the perfect gift and will buy months beforehand with the confidence that the recipient will love it.

    Another popular choice of fragrance is the classic Chanel number 5. Possibly the most iconic perfume ever created, Chanel has never failed to the point in any of their fragrances.

    Candles For Valentine’s Day

    February is the month of love; traditionally, we give flowers or chocolates to our loved ones. However, candles for Valentine’s Day have become just as popular as we search for the perfect scent.

    Candles for Valentine’s Day

    We use candles for many reasons, from making the home feel warm and cosy during the winter months to keeping insects at bay during the summer when family and friends are around for barbecues.

    Aromatherapy candles can be used for relaxation in an exercise class or lit when a massage takes us to a tranquil place as we switch off from the world.

    Earth gifts candle

    Solid and scented candles can uplift the home with a delightful fragrance you instantly smell when you walk through the door.

    There’s something about a fresh, clean smell in the home. There is barely a day that goes by that I don’t light a candle in my house, whether it be unscented tea lights to give the feel of warmth during the cold evenings or a scented candle to bring freshness and omit cooking smells.

    With Valentine’s Day fast approaching for another year, we look for gifts to buy our loved ones.

    Chocolates and flowers are often the popular go-to items for gifting to women, and perhaps shaving kits or technology gadgets are purchased for men. We don’t need to spend much when purchasing Valentine’s gifts.

    We all know that retailers always hike prices on special dates throughout the year, as they know customers will be purchasing for that particular day. Flower prices double, and chocolate boxes are increased.

    ‘I love you’ should be spoken daily, not just on February 14th. Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christmas Day offer plenty of choices of gifts, so we need to watch how much we spend. Candles set a delicate and soft light to make an evening romantic, cosy, and inviting.

    Candles for Valentine’s Day

    Delicate scents fill the room with a gorgeous fragrance that enchants and relaxes the mind. It’s the perfect way to switch off.

    Just like an open fire, the flickering flames of a candle will have you mesmerised as they dance and create soft shadows on the walls and ceiling.

    If you purchase candle holders with engraved shapes, they look particularly pretty as the light casts a silhouette in a low-lit room.

    When the lights are dim and candles are burning, our mind tells our body that it’s time to relax and switch off from the stresses and strains of the day.

    Something that all of us benefit from in such a busy world.

    One of the best ways to find the perfect scented candle to purchase is to find out what perfume or aftershave your partner enjoys wearing.

    There are lots of designer-scented candles that match perfume scents, so this is the perfect choice.

    If it’s a new relationship and you have no idea what scents they like, romantic fragrances are a great option.

    You can purchase a delicate scent that gives the room enough fragrance without overpowering.

    There is, of course, the option of unscented candles if you want to play it safe.

    What scents are romantic?

    Candles for Valentine’s Day

    Valentine’s Day Gift Set Love Heart Holder & 5 Red Glitter Tea Light Candles

    Exotic- These will be your comforting, luxurious, warm, and indulgent scents. They often contain solid and noticeable fragrances like vanilla, cinnamon, saffron, or rosewood.

    Woody– When we think of these fragrance notes, we often think of nature and the great outdoors.

    They can be heavy scents containing notes such as sandalwood, patchouli, juniper or oak.

    Floral – Everyone loves a floral scent, even men and possibly the most popular. This scent is used for candles, perfumes, wax melts and incense sticks.

    Floral scents have a feminine and soft aroma that will help the body and mind relax.

    Lavender and Rose are often the most common scents, and many candles contain jasmine, yang-yang, chamomile, or geranium.

    Fruity—The sweetness of fruity candles can bring a refreshing and uplifting vibe as we experience the gorgeous scents of strawberry, apple, cherry, apricot, and peach.

    Romantic music, wine and a candle-lit meal for two sets the mood to celebrate being together, no matter how many months or years have passed.

    Candles for Valentine’s Day

    Candle scents for men and women

    A man’s romantic scent would be spicy nutmeg or cider fragrance notes.

    Amber

    This scent is prevalent, especially in incense sticks and scented candles. It can mix well with other notes.

    It is a warm, sweet, sensual scent from the Asian family. It suits men and women and is perfect for a cold winter night.

    This scent is the perfect accessory if you wear Obsession by Calvin Klein or Alien by Thierry Mugler.

    Sandalwood

    This delightful, earthy, sweet scent is often found in many candles and perfumes and is suitable for both men and women.

    It has a rich, distinctive scent. Sandalwood is a member of the wood fragrance family, and it is very similar to patchouli, which gives a musky, sweet, and spicy fragrance.

    Some of the top-selling perfumes and candles contain sandalwood as one of their scents.

    Ylang ylang

    This little beauty has many benefits, such as reducing blood pressure and helping people stay calm. It is also a favourite choice for aromatherapists. It has been a popular scent in perfume and cosmetics for many years.

    With Oriental and floral notes, it is the perfect aphrodisiac and sets the tone for the perfect night. It is also an excellent choice for aromatherapy, as its scent helps calm the mind.

    Tonka bean

    This scent has a gorgeous natural aroma and spicy, nutty, woody, and sweet notes. It is the perfect scent for a cold winter evening by the fire and is often found within the Fougere and amber fragrances.

    It emits a sensual, deep aroma and is named by some cultures as ‘love-wishing’ because of its aphrodisiac fragrance and seductive, deep aroma.

    If your partner wears Tom Ford Noir Extreme or Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male, a candle with tonka bean will be suitable.

    Vanilla

    Vanilla sets the scene for a soft and romantic ambience with its sweetness, which everyone loves. You will always find a vanilla-scented candle in the shops or online, and the smell brings happiness and stress relief as it contains soothing properties. Vanilla is one of those scents that is easily recognised, too.

    Rose- There won’t be many women who don’t like floral fragrances. A scent that immediately gives us the feel of femininity, a touch of class, warmth and cosiness to the home.

    My rating: 9 out of 10

    When I first searched the web for ways to make money online in August 2021, I was surprised by how many companies there were. It was a little overwhelming. When COVID hit, millions sought to earn money while stuck at home. With so many online businesses, how do we tell which ones are genuine and which ones are potential scams?

    I glazed over several companies before I came to Wealthy Affiliate and something caught my eye I was intrigued to read further into the online world of affiliate marketing.

     

    What is affiliate marketing?

    The basics around affiliate marketing

    Affiliate marketing is an online platform that provides step-by-step guidance and tools to help you build an online business. On this platform, commission to an external website is paid through traffic, affiliate links, and referrals.

    Wealthy affiliate review
    Photo ©️fragranceswithlove.com

    Who created Wealthy Affiliate?

    Kyle Loudoun and Carson Lim founded Wealthy Affiliate in 2005. They remain very active members of the community and offer help when needed.

    Where it starts 

    Finding a niche

    Possibly the most challenging part is finding a niche. We need a topic to write about in our blogs. We are all passionate about something, but we must be so eager that we can write articles for our website regularly.

    Niche ideas

    ■ Weight loss

    ■ Cooking

    ■ Sports

    ■ Art and crafts

    ■ Parenting

    ■ Clothing

    Wealthy affiliate review

    The list is endless, so there will be something for everyone.

    Find a topic that you enjoy and build your website around your ideas. Once you set up a website and publish articles, Google will find and index them.

    This means that they have been found online. Over time, the more people see your website and find helpful articles you have written, the more traffic you will receive.

    Adding affiliate links from companies you have joined that are relevant to your niche, recommending Wealthy Affiliate to others, and placing adverts on your website can earn you money.

     

     The pros

    Step by a step training at your fingertips

    The training is easy to follow, with videos to watch alongside reading information.

    Tick boxes at the bottom of each page allow you to keep track of which tasks you have completed and if you need to return to where you finished.

    Free to join

    People like to know they can try a platform before committing to paying money, which is why I joined. It allows everyone to see how they get on, whether working as an affiliate is suited to them, and whether they have the time to commit to it.

    No direct product selling

    We are all salespeople, yet most of us don’t realise it. You don’t receive a commission if you’ve ever recommended a film at the cinema, a restaurant, or a holiday to your friends and family. If you were to sell a product through an affiliate link on your website, you would receive a commission for that recommendation.

    With Wealthy Affiliate, you advertise affiliate links to products you choose relevant to your niche, so the pressure is off trying to get friends/family and strangers to purchase directly from you.

    Full support from the community

    We all need help and support when we start something new, and this platform is exceptional for the help they give. Other community members answer every question and link resources to their answers to assist you. With members in every part of the world (195 countries), somebody will always be online to help with a question.

    24/7 Site support

    There is designated site support if you have any issues with your website. They are swift to respond to any queries and keep your website continuously running efficiently.

    Website security 

    Websites are monitored 24 hours a day to offer you security and to ensure your website is kept at bay from hackers and spammers.

    The cons

    A little overwhelming

    Like any new business, there is a lot to learn and do to get things rolling. If you’re a thing like me, I want to know everything all at once, but it’s impossible. Little steps and consistency are the perfect combination. The hardest part is starting.

    Wealthy affiliate review

    Basic computer skills are ideal.

    Although it says you don’t need computer skills, as you will learn everything through the training, I feel everyone would benefit from basic skills.

    Having experienced it firsthand, I found it much easier to learn the different tasks with my knowledge of working with an iPad or computer.

    The upgrade option can be expensive.

    In any business, we need to pay out money before we can earn the money back. While paying a yearly premium is more cost-effective than paying monthly, you need the money to move forward with the training.

    The free option allows you to complete ten training lessons. Once you have reached your limit with the free trial, you will need to upgrade to premium to access the site further. This will benefit you and your business with all that the platform offers.

    Training updates required

    Some of the training is a little outdated, but there is an option to request an update above all training lessons.

    If you encounter any training that asks you to do something on your website manually and your device doesn’t have the option, you can request an update or ask the community for assistance.

    Is it a scam?

    We are too quick to assume the negative with anything we read or see, and looking for ways to make money online is no exception. We try to find fault in something if it sounds too good. I always believe that if something does sound too good to be true, it usually is.

    With over 2,600,000 members in the community, they can’t all be thinking the same thing. We often label things as a scam when it’s something that we fail at or lose money from.

    “It must be a scam because it’s not working for me”.
    Wealthy Affiliate state an ‘endless opportunity and zero risk’.

    Wealthy Affiliate states that there are endless opportunities and zero risks.

    I firmly believe that we all have to fail at something to move forward and become successful. With over 23,000 people helping daily and over 1,800 expert coaches, they’re doing something right.

     
    Wealthy affiliate review

    Should I sign up for premium?

    If you’re serious about making money online, the free platform will help you to some extent, but you must sign up for a premium to earn income. You will then have access to boot camps, online classes, and unlimited support, to name a few benefits.

    Within the premium amount, you will get all the help you need 24/7 and a keyword research tool called Jaxxy, which helps you find the best keywords to use when writing your articles. I feel this is essential in any online business, as there is a lot of competition.

    With Wealthy Affiliate, we can create an online business in a niche that we are passionate about. With so many ideas to choose from, I knew immediately that I wanted to incorporate my love of fragrances. I knew I could write a lot about the topic and help readers with their queries when they search online.

    What is a premium plus?

    Premium Plus is Wealthy Affiliate’s top level. You fill it out, giving you stacks more training at your fingertips. The advantage is hosting ten premium websites instead of three, with premium advanced options for those who perhaps work full-time in the industry and can put in the hours required.

    My story

    Alongside being a freelance hairdresser, network marketer, and a one-on-one support teaching assistant for a special needs boy, I felt the need to add another income—something to fall back on in my later years when perhaps my full-time business in hairdressing would become too much as I grew older.

    I had no idea what affiliate marketing was, so the closest I had come to this kind of business was working in network marketing. In 2016, I was introduced to a company called FM World. FM World is a perfume company that began selling designer-inspired perfumes and cosmetics in 2011.

    As a lover of fragrances, I was sold and have built a small, dedicated team with the same passion for helping others. Being in network marketing for the past eight years has allowed me to connect with many people online. Those connections became friends. Through those friends, I have received many messages from those in my Facebook community who already work in affiliate marketing.

    I shied away because I lacked knowledge of the business. Besides, I wanted to find out for myself and in my own time without pressure. I decided to search online as it seemed that so many of my connections were into this new way of earning money. I typed ‘earning money online’ into the search bar to see what would happen.

    Wealthy Affiliate stood out from their competition. The page looked inviting, and I had the chance to join for free to test drive the platform and receive my first ten lessons. Unlike many affiliate companies, you don’t have to provide payment details. Everything was broken down into small sections so I could absorb all the information at first glance without feeling overwhelmed.

    I wanted to know how much it would cost after the free session, what affiliate marketing involved, and how much time I would need to set aside for this new adventure. Most people sign up for projects, products, etc., when they see FREE.

    Reusing Candle Jars

    Many of us have candles scattered around the home to give a feeling of warmth and elegance and to emit a beautiful scent in the room. If you’re a candle addict like myself, every room will have a candle sitting somewhere, and by reusing candle jars, we can create another solution for these items.

    Most of us are guilty of throwing the jars away to be recycled after the candle has burned, but what can we do instead to reuse the empty jars and save our environment?

    Reusing candle jars

     

    Save your candle jars for use around the home

    Candles are popular and come in all varieties, shapes, and sizes. While some are in simple containers, many on the market today are too beautiful to throw away. We are very much into upcycling nowadays, and it is not just restricted to furniture or clothing.

    Many of us are mindful of throwing away items and damaging our environment, so this is a great way to do our bit for the world. Recreating something else from a candle jar will keep the home tidy and make finding things much more accessible than in drawers.

    If you like purchasing luxury candles, they will often come in a more expensive container to reflect the price. It’s a shame and a waste to throw the jar away once the candle has burned and we’ve spent money, so remember to save them.

    Cheaper candle containers can still be used for other items, and with candles’ popularity today, it makes more sense to reuse the jars. Let’s consider some ideas for reusing candle jars around the home, workplace and school.

     

    Reusing candle jars

    Pen/pencil pot

    We all have countless pens lying around the house, and you can guarantee that whenever you need to find one to make a note whilst on the phone, for example, there is never one to be seen. As long as your candle jar is deep enough to hold an average-sized pen, you’re good to go with this beautiful idea of keeping pens in an accessible place.

    Pen pots are also widely used in schools, and if you have tinned containers, these are perfect for sitting in the classroom. They also reduce the need to purchase so much plastic.

    Reusing candle holders

    Plant pot
    I love this idea. It’s so important to have plants in the home. Certain plants can improve indoor air quality, helping us breathe better and increasing oxygen levels.

    Adding some soil and plant seeds will enable you to grow your plant. Another idea would be to re-pot an existing plant into a more elegant container. Plants in the home bring the greenery of the outside nature inside.

    Reusing candle jars

    Centrepiece for a table

    A decorative candle jar will bring your home to life, whether it’s a Christmas centrepiece or to add elegance to the middle of your dining room table when entertaining. It adds an inviting touch to the table at dinner time. You could also purchase floating candles and pop them inside a decorative jar.

    Reusing candle jars

    Fairy lights

    Adding fairy lights to an empty candle jar is a beautiful idea, and I have used it myself around my home.

    Small sets of LED battery-operated lights can be purchased from most stores and online shops, such as eBay.

    You can also use empty wine bottles for a similar effect. They make a wonderful centrepiece and give the home a welcoming and warm environment.

    It’s incredible how they can create an effect in the home on a cold winter evening, and it’s so simple and cost-effective.

    Homes always feel warmer when candles are burning, or fairy lights are switched on, so this is one to try.

    Reusing candle jars

    Kitchen utensils

    Have small utensils such as a mini whisk, meat thermometer, pasting brush or wooden spoons that are easy to access when cooking and prevent the cutlery drawer from becoming too full.

    Cosmetic brushes

    My cosmetics brushes are inside a ceramic candle holder that I have kept and washed. Similar to the pen holder, make sure your jar is deep enough to hold the length of different-size brushes, and they will always be on hand when you apply makeup.

    It also helps to keep them clean for longer when they are not mixed up in a cosmetics bag. You can also add lip liner or eyeliner pencils so they are easily accessible.

    Reusing candle jars

    Cotton buds/pads

    Have you ever bought cotton buds and found the pot unsuitable?

    They’re so packed in tight that when you do want to take one out, several buds fall out of the container at once, and you end up poking the rest back into any space you can find for next time. Make them easy to get to by adding them to a candle container instead.

    For those who use a cosmetics remover product instead of a makeup remover towel, make the cotton balls/pads accessible in their container and ditch the plastic bag they are sold in.

    Reusing candle jars
    When storing cotton balls and buds in the bathroom, these jars will look much more elegant.

    Sweet/biscuit jar

    When my children were much more minor, I used to keep small sweets in a jar, and they were allowed one sweet per day.

    These are perfect for use if you have purchased a candle with a lid, such as the Yankee candle. They will hold a few small sweets, and biscuits can be stored for easy access.

    Loose change

    Most of us use cards or phones to pay for items and see fewer small changes. If we have any spares, a candle jar is perfect for keeping loose coins in one place. Shallow candle holders are ideal where depth is not needed. If you collect copper coins, use a large bottle with a wide rim and save them. When the bottle is full, bag the coins and bank them.

    Reusing candle jars
    Have your loose change to hand when you need it

    Arts and crafts

    Those with young children and perhaps have an arts and crafts cupboard will know how valuable containers and pots are for items such as crayons, beads, ice pop sticks, glitter, and scissors. Candle jars with lids are ideal for the smaller items. Sewing cotton is great to store in clear jars as the vibrant colours pop through.

    Reusing candle jars

    Buttons

    My late mum had a vast collection of spare buttons she had collected over the years, which she kept in a tin. As an avid sewer, I always had a spare button to sew onto a cardigan, skirt, or pair of trousers when my siblings and I were minors. I now occasionally look through those buttons to find a suitable one for any missing clothing items or my children’s.

    Reusing candle jars
    Buttons must be stored in a large container, so these are ideal if you have a large candle jar.

    Nail polish

    If you have a drawer with every nail polish colour under the sun, I recommend a shallow candle jar instead. Nail polish is best kept upright to prevent spillages and keep it away from direct sunlight and heat. A candle tin can be an excellent idea for keeping those bottles upright and tidy if you have a few favourite colours you access regularly.

    Reusing candle jars
    A shallow tin candle container is perfect for uprighting your favourite nail polish bottles.

    Beverages

    More and more people reach for herbal teas. A great way to store herbal tea bags is in a jar instead of having the box on the kitchen work surface. If you have three matching candle jars, you can add coffee in one and sugar in another to jazz up the kitchen.

    Reusing candle jars

    Tea light candle

    Reuse a candle jar with a candle. Simple but effective. Any size candle container can be used for this. Pop your scented or unscented tea light candle inside, and you have instantly created your very own tea light holder.

    Bath salts

    Those who still have a bathtub in their home and enjoy a long soak at the end of a busy day will benefit from the beautiful colours bath salts are made with. A collection of colours in clear candle jars can brighten up any bathroom and make it feel homely and relaxing.

    Reusing candle jars
    Bath salts are still used for relaxing soaks, so store them in a candle jar to make them look more inviting.

    Batteries

    Loose batteries rolling around in a drawer and being unable to find one can be a pain! Save your candle jar so that it can be easily accessed when the kitchen clock battery decides to die.

    Charging leads

    With technology being all around us nowadays and everyone in the home having phones, laptops or iPads, the leads are endless. They all look the same and are, more often than not, tangled up.

    As a hairdresser, my kitchen has these types of leads and the ones I use for charging cordless clippers. Unless you have every lead positioned in a socket so that they are to hand, they can become a tangled mess if they’re sitting inside the kitchen drawer.

    Gather them separately, wrap an elastic band around them, and pop them inside a deep candle tin or jar. Now you have all your leads neat and untangled.

    Preparing your used jar

    Removing the old wax

    If wax residue remains in the base or edges of your candle holder, there is a simple way to remove it. Add boiling water to the jar and leave it to stand for a few minutes.

    The boiled water will help to lift the wax out in one piece. Remove any leftover wax around the sides. Labels can be removed with hot, soapy water. Wash the jar or container thoroughly and dry.

    Once the leftover wax and any labels are removed, you can be very creative by adding your design to the jar and making it more decorative and personalised with items such as stickers, glitter or even dry flowers.

    There are some beautiful ideas on Pinterest.

    Recycle your jar for a friend’s or family member’s birthday or a Christmas present, and pop a tea light candle inside for the perfect gift.

    It is a great way to give something unique without spending a fortune.

    Conclusion

    Please make use of any used candle containers around your home, whether they are jars or tins. The list of what they can be used for is endless, and they are a great way to save money in other ways.

    New Year Perfume

    The new year often sees resolutions made, most commonly losing weight, drinking less or perhaps giving up nail-biting. It’s not always about making resolutions, though, especially when most are given up within the first few weeks.

    According to research by yougov.co.uk, 47% of people felt the need to set wellness routines, with only 6% sticking to their resolutions.

    New year perfume
    Getting fit often falls short when it comes to New Year’s resolutions

    67% of those surveyed said they were more focused on their looks than their feelings.

    We all know how we feel with a new fragrance. Many will see a fresh calendar page and maybe the January sales to purchase a new year perfume instead of a resolution that may not last.

    We often purchase the same bottle of perfume throughout the year, our comfort classic that reminds us of memories made. Some men and women perhaps change their scent to match the seasons.

    Unless you’ve been gifted a new perfume for Christmas that you have never tried, the same scents return for the following year, and we never get to try a different one.

    Perfume adverts

    Christmas time is the perfect excuse for a new fragrance, and we see countless TV ads with designer fragrances and celebrity endorsements on our screens.

    That last push from the advertising companies to pop a perfume advert between every commercial possible as we begin watching endless Christmas films and shows.

    I notice the popularity of summer-scented perfumes advertised during the run-up to Christmas each year.

    Whilst there is a hugely popular selection and best-sellers throughout the year, I always associate floral, sweet and delicate notes for the spring and summer seasons.

    We need lighter scents on the skin for the hotter months.

    La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme, Angel by Thierry Mugler, and Daisy by Marc Jacobs appear on our screens most commonly during Christmas, when men and women frantically search online and in the shops for the perfect gift.

    Each of these perfumes is more suitable for summer, yet they are highly advertised during the run-up to Christmas.

    Related article: The Best Summer Fragrances For Women

    Advertisers know what sells, and we are all guilty of buying a fragrance endorsed by our favourite celebrity.

    Despite an economic crisis, they significantly influence our purchases, and sales rocket yearly.

    For me, Christmas and winter should have woody and oriental scents. Those strong fragrances turn heads and work well during the colder season.

    Perfumes with heavy notes, such as sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla, are much better suited for winter wear.

    Such notes are too heavy for summer, where we should look for more floral and lighter scents.

    New year perfume

    Perfumes such as YSL Black Opium or Paco Rabanne by Lady Million are known for the cold, winter, and festive seasons.

    When we purchase a fragrance, whatever the season, we should always concentrate on the base notes.

    These notes will last the longest and that others around us will smell and be influenced by.

    We predominantly see female scents advertised more than male fragrances, even though men’s fragrance world is just as favoured.

    Whilst there is no hard and fast rule about wearing selective perfumes to suit the seasons, and it is a personal choice, I believe that winter scents should be on our screens for that time of year.

    If you’re not fazed by trying a new scent and steering away from your traditional scents, a new fragrance could be just around the corner.

    The great thing about trying something new in the perfume world is the readily available samples to try beforehand.

    We could potentially spend a fair amount of money on a new scent, so it is essential to try a sample first and leave the smell on the skin for a few minutes to determine if it is right for you.

    I’m sure many people have bought perfume and never worn it. Too strong, not scented enough, or the wrong fragrance notes can all contribute.

    Sales of perfume and scented skin care products skyrocket during Christmas more than any other time of the year.

    We will always see timeless classics such as La vie Est Belle by Lancôme, possibly why it appears on our screens every year. It is also perhaps one of the most versatile scents.

    Other scents, such as Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne for men, have become popular over the past 12 months, even though it’s more aimed at summer.

     

    Popular winter scents for women

     

    Black Opium- Yves St Laurent

    Deep and warm autumn notes are a popular choice with this 2014 perfume. Passion and energy in a bottle, this classic woman’s perfume has a seductive theme with its vanilla and coffee fragrance notes.

    Top notes: Green mandarin, cinnamon, pear

    Middle notes: Orange blossom, Jasmine Sambac and solar notes

    Base notes: Vanilla absolute, patchouli, coffee and vanilla orchid, bourbon vanilla, Madagascar vanilla.

    Decadence Eau So Decadent-Marc Jacobs

    Many women who already wear Daisy by Mark Jacobs will know that it contains very floral notes, so when Decadence Eau So Decadent was released in 2017, we had a more velvet and woody aroma that instantly pours out sophistication and sex appeal.

    Top notes: Plum, saffron, Iris

    Middle notes: Orris, Bulgarian Rose, Jasmine Sambac.

    Good Girl- Carolina Herrera

    The perfume bottle alone has always fascinated me, although not the type that women can easily pop into their handbags. If you have a perfume decanter and the money to spend on this fragrance, it ticks all the boxes for a winter scent.

    A favoured perfume launched very recently in 2021 and is often advertised on TV. This little gem smells just as good as it looks.

    The bottle alone screams masculinity compared to its female version, which has an elegant, feminine bottle.

    With a powerhouse of fragrance notes, it’s of little surprise that this scent is just as popular as the female version.

    Designed like a bomb from a James Bond film, this fragrance reaches out to its male customers with a beautiful combination of heavy base notes.

    Leather, vetiver and tobacco will be the continued scent that lasts for the duration, whilst its top notes of grapefruit and bergamot give a gentle feel to the smell when it is first sprayed.

    Top notes: Bergamot, grapefruit, pink pepper, and elemi ( an oleoresin obtained from a tropical tree commonly used in aromatherapy oils, varnishes, and perfume).

    Middle notes: Saffron, cinnamon, paprika

    Make Up Remover Towel

    The makeup remover towel is the perfect gift for any woman who wears cosmetics and makes a great stocking filler.

    Maintaining a skincare routine has become more prevalent recently, with numerous products available for cleansing, toning and moisturising.

    As we age, taking care of our skin becomes increasingly important, and now more than ever, we are constantly seeking ways to save money, help the environment and minimise waste.

    Make up remover towel

     

    Micellar lotions

    I have traditionally used makeup remover lotions for many years, starting with baby lotions and tissues during my younger days. Eventually, I transitioned to micellar lotion and cotton pads.

    Complete Care refreshing micellar liquid 3-1 is a very gentle product that helps remove all makeup traces. It is still very much in circulation and used by many women today. So, what’s changed?

    Make up remover towel

    Micellar lotions and cosmetic pads vary in price. While this makeup removal method is still effective and suitable for some, a few have switched to the latest product—the makeup remover towel.

    From early experimentation with cosmetics, we learned that to remove makeup, incredibly stubborn mascara, or deep-coloured lipstick, we need a product that will efficiently and effectively remove such products.

    Saving you money

    With the rising cost of living, many of us are searching for ways to save money. This goes beyond reducing heating or turning off lights when we’re not in a room. Using a makeup remover towel that only requires water and is reusable makes a lot of sense for penning-pinching consumers.

    ■ Affordable

    ■ Suitable for sensitive skin

    ■ Provides gentle exfoliation

    ■ Requires no chemicals

    ■ Machine washable

    ■ Effective

    ■ Environmentally friendly

    ■ Efficient

    Remove stubborn cosmetics

     

    The makeup remover towel is a must-have if you’re a regular makeup wearer looking to cut the continuous cost of buying cotton pads or makeup remover lotions.

    It’s surprising how effective it is. Stubborn mascara can be challenging to remove without rubbing, but the delicate eye area requires caution.

    Waterproof mascara is excellent, especially during rainy days or emotional moments.

    However, removing it at the end of the day can be frustrating, often requiring harsh soaps to eliminate excess residue. A gentle product is essential for sensitive skin to prevent dryness and irritation. The soft microfibres in the towel feel smooth on the skin.

    How do they work?

    The gentle fibres in the towel provide light exfoliation, leaving your skin with a perfect base for the next application.

    It’s hard to believe that a face towel requiring only water can efficiently remove all makeup traces with minimal effort and time.

    After each use, the towel can be machine-washed or washed by hand. Avoid hot water or fabric softener; use a linen bag to prevent the towel from disappearing.

    One side of the towel features exfoliation fibres to remove dead skin cells and promote a healthier glow, while the other has shorter fibres for gentle makeup removal. Using a microfiber towel instead of disposable pads is an eco-friendly choice.

    The makeup remover towel is a more efficient way to remove makeup than traditional methods.

    It’s ideal for those who dislike the tedious process of removing makeup after a late night and prefer to deal with the aftermath in the morning.

    If I had known how effective the makeup towel was, I would have started using it years ago. In addition to the towel, I  use Simple Purifying Gel Wash to cleanse and detox my skin.

    These towels also make fantastic gifts for family and friends, as my sister greatly appreciated hers last year.

    You can purchase them in most shops, supermarkets and online retailers. I bought mine from FM World, and they come in pink and purple.
