The latest trend way in which celebrities to make the most of their stardom is to release a perfume that is endorsed with their beautiful faces. The perfume industry in the UK is massive and perfume manufacturers and celebrities both stand to make a lot of money if they manage to create and market a perfume that sells well. It is said that celebrity perfumes comprise a third share of the whopping 255 million pounds a year industry and it is no wonder that every celebrity under the sun is trying to scoop a piece for themselves.

It has even been stated that one in five young people in the UK own a perfume that has been endorsed by a celebrity. As a result the market has been flooded with perfumes that have been branded with a celebrity and many of these perfume celebrities appear to be dubious choices. There are some really bizarre celebrity perfume endorsements and here are the best and the worst.

Sublime:

Katie Price – Jordan

Katie Price’s perfume ’stunning’ held top spot on the national sales figures for months. The perfume attracted a mass following that wanted to emulate the ex page three model and music performer. Following a successful book release and an even more successful fly on the wall documentary series about her life with husband Peter Andre the perfume flew of the shelves and represented an excellent move my the perfume manufacturers.

Kate Moss

Kate Moss has long been the UK’s favourite model and it appears that there is little she can do to damage her popularity. Despite accusations of drug taking and a fiery relationship with Pete Doherty she has still remained popular with the general public and whereas many celebrities have crumbled under the close scrutiny of the press she has come out smelling of roses and maintained her image as a true English rose.

Christina Aguilera

Another extremely popular perfume took the success of the talented American singer and made her even more money. The provocative scent was said to emulate Christina’s playful sexiness and was extremely well received by fans. Another excellent choice by the marketing men.

The ridiculous:

Jade Goody

Why anybody bought a perfume endorsed by the notorious Jade goody is beyond me. It was sold with the literature that stated that the perfume was “sweet and enduring – just like Jade”. Titled Shh… the perfume did sell and made quite a bit of money. Proof that people will buy anything because let’s face it on the face of it smelling like Jade goody does not on the face of it sound too appealing.

Cliff Richard

The aging music sensation has in his career been the face of two perfumes. The thought of wanting to smell or be associated with this sometimes cringe worthy crooner baffles me but nevertheless the perfumes titled, devil woman and miss you nights did sell fairly successfully. Especially surprising bearing in mind that the perfumes cost around 15 pounds per bottle.

Donald Trump

Unsatisfied with his billions of dollars the comb over sporting business tycoon Donald trump decided to release a perfume in 2004. I struggle to imagine why anyone would want to be so intimately associated with the man but nevertheless the perfume was marketed with a price tag of 60 dollars for a bottle. The marketing blurb stated that people wanted to know him on “every level”. I for one found it rather unbelievable.

Choosing a perfume can be a tricky decision. Especially if you are trying to buy for a loved one and you have absolutely no idea where to start. If like me you also lack any kind of natural ability at making these decisions then this article is designed to benefit you. I wanted to buy my wife a gift that showed her how sensitive and caring I am and forever remind her what a fantastic choice of lover I am and prove categorically that her father was wrong when he called me an idle waste of space that will never amount to anything.

Sadly on many occasions I have made horrible mistakes with my choices and as a result there have been numerous occasions where my loving partner has had to return to the shop receipt in hand to request something she would really like. So I have taken the pain of rejection in my stride and decided to find out exactly how to go about picking a perfume that will win my fair lady’s heart.

Search online

A good search for anything should always begin online. The information superhighway is exactly that is you know how to use it. Research will make your ultimate decision much easier and there are hundreds of resources on the net that are designed to help you. It is of course something that you must be slightly wary of. A great deal of the perfume reviews are written by the marketing company that are promoting the perfume so be sure to find a site that you feel you can trust.

Good ones to look at are those sites that sell numerous different perfumes. These are usually owned by perfume enthusiasts that write keenly about their products. Ordinarily they will write impartially about the perfumes that they sell. Reading reviews by customers is another great way of finding out a bit more about a perfume and getting a true reflection of whether or not it is a good one. Try and read as many different reviews from as many different sources as possible that way you are more likely to get a complete picture.

Translate the product descriptions

In all fairness to the marketing men at the perfume companies it is very difficult to explain in writing what a scent smells like. Nevertheless there is a great deal of over flamboyant and in some cases ludicrous language used to describe the products that are on sale. Interpreting these uses of language can be as difficult as choosing a perfume. Some of the grandiloquent people that write the blurb for the latest perfumes describe them in flowery terms that give you an indication of who the perfume is aimed at.

If it is described as fresh and energetic it is likely to be aimed at young people and perfumes for young people tend to be described in fruity or floral terms. This is probably worth avoiding if you are buying for a more mature woman. The latest phrase from Christina aguillera was described as classy and provocative and was said to empower the women that wore it so that they could achieve greater levels of femininity and sexiness.

These words are clearly aimed at women that want to exercise their feminine charms and entice men into their web of seduction. If this is not how you would describe your loved one perfumes with these types of description should probably be avoided.

If a friend were to ask me what was the best makeup on the market today, without a doubt I would answer that mineral makeup is it. There is no comparison between mineral makeup and traditional makeup. Mineral makeup is the hands down winner.

Just a few short years ago mineral makeup started to spread like wildfire on a hot California day. It offers many things and a level of coverage not available until now. In this article we will pass on some of the best tips and techniques that although they will need practice they will increase your skill in the application of this makeup that may seem difficult at first but gets easier. If the look of an unblemished complexion is your goal, read on.

Often the retail counters, stores and even online mineral makeup stores will provide some training in the form of a video, written instruction or one-on-one training. This basic instruction is important and needs to be studied as it is the foundation for your mineral makeup education. Be sure you pay special attention and don’t be afraid to ask questions of the instructor.

Brushes are your Essential Tools

No matter whether you are applying foundation or concealer you will need a brush and for each product there is a different type.

There are several kinds of brushes necessary to achieve maximal results with mineral makeup and the foundation brush is central to that success. The foundation brush is sometimes called the Kabuki brush. Although other brushes are similar to the Kabuki it has a shorter handle and stiffer bristles. The importance of the shorter stiffer brush comes into play when practicing the buffing motions necessary for full coverage.

The level of conceler needed for coverage is what determines if a brush is used or finger tips. Your fingers can be used if more coverage is needed and a consealer brush is used if less coverage is needed and for under the eyes if dark circles do not need to be hidden. For blemishes a lip brush can be used to concentrate the consealer as it has short bristles and has a slight taper.

It is important to understand that the brush is at least as responsible for how your mineral makeup looks as is the mineral makeup itself. Sometimes you can skimp a little on makeup quality but it is advisable to never go for the lower quality brush. Learn to tell the difference and find the brushes that work best for you by testing them against the same makeup on different sides of your face.

Practice Makes the Technique Perfect

As emphasized earlier mineral makeup is different than traditional makeup and the mineral makeup is far less translucent than what you may be accustomed to with loose power. Caution should be exercised when using it and you should build in lighter stages for the perfect look for you.

As with any education one lesson builds upon another and this lesson is no different. It is slightly more advanced than the lesson you probably got when you purchased your mineral makeup to begin with. Soon you will be applying flawlessly and your friends will be asking you for tips too.

* Start with a small bit of the power in a tissue. Remember a little goes a long way when applying mineral makeup.
* As you brush the power with your Kabuki brush you will pick up the power and it will not be visible but is saturated.
* Start near the center of your head and work outward in a whisking motion to cover all the way to the edge of your face.
* You will keep going using this method until your entire face is covered being careful not to use too much power as stated earlier.

If you follow carefully the result will, with practice, be a near perfect complexion you wanted and as promised by mineral makeup.

Here are my suggestions for practicing with mineral makeup. You will find if you practice them you will get really good.

Do you have an oily complexion? Well, if you do then it can be difficult at times to control the shine of your face caused by excess oil. If you are out in the sun a lot, this may make things even more difficult. However, if this is your situation, do not worry because there are a couple of makeup and cosmetic solutions that you can incorporate into your daily skincare regime to assist you with shine control.

Mineral Makeup

The first thing you may want to consider doing is making use of light and natural makeup. One type that is becoming more and more popular by the minute is mineral makeup. Because mineral makeup is derivative of natural ingredients, it is said to be healthy for your skin. Not only does this type of makeup refrain from clogging your pores, it can very possibly help improve your overall complexion.

For shine control purposes, mineral makeup is made up of very finely crushed powder. This fine powder is very dry and does a great job of absorbing facial oil, thus decreasing shine and the look of an oily complexion very significantly.

However, keep in mind that just because the makeup absorbs excess oil does not mean that it is not there. No, the oil is still there but it is just disguised and hidden very well. So, how do you rid your face of excess oils without removing the makeup and cosmetics you applied in the process?

Oil Blotting Cosmetic Tissues

The solution to that problem is oil blotting cosmetic tissues. These are non pore clogging tissues that, when patted on your face, absorbs oils without removing your makeup. Just about every well-known cosmetic brand company produces a type of these tissues. They are a bit pricey, though, ranging from around $3-12 for around 50-150 2 inch by 3 inch small squares of oil-blotting tissue.

But, if you are anything like me, you will not be so keen to spend the extra money for tissue paper. Not to worry, because there is another solution to the high cost of these tissues.

My Best Kept Makeup Tip Secret

My best kept secret is…Toilet cover sanitizers! I bet you did not expect that one, huh? Well, they are made of the same fundamental things that pricey oil blotting tissues are made of minus the fancy name and company logo…Tissue paper! Best of all, you can get these for free in most public restrooms.

So while you are touching up your mineral makeup in a public restroom, go and grab a few toilet cover sanitizers. You can use some then, and put the rest in your purse for later!
