A perfume has the ability to make or break an outfit. A good quality perfume can make you smell a million dollars no matter how simple your outfit maybe. It can uplift your mood and affect those around you as they are enveloped by the delicate scent that lingers around you.

However, you have to make sure that the scent is indeed delicate. If too much is applied it can make other’s around you feel nauseated as their senses are overpowered. Too much perfume can be heady and can start to smell bad, as it’s all about a delicate whiff of scent and not a slap in the face.

Actually it is the same with makeup, where minimum can be considered as more. Makeup should be just that, a slight enhancing of your best features and not a cover up where all that is visible is the cosmetic. A slight cover of foundation, a light dusting of powder, a touch of eyeliner and mascara and a dab of lip colour is all that is needed to make a girl ready for the day.

It is always best to use quality products on your body and skin so that you are ensured they will not cause you any harm. Products not made to standard have short shelf lives and tend to either smell bad or go cakey as the day progresses. Investing in some good branded items will guarantee that you have products that will maintain their quality during the day and have longer shelf lives, which means a saving in the long run. It used to be that you had to empty your purse to purchase branded cosmetics and perfumes, but now you can get branded cheap perfumes and discounted makeup with relative ease. This way all of us can enjoy the benefits of having good quality cosmetics and perfumes in our makeup bags.

Look around, wait for sales, check online to find the best deals and do up your collection with the best products. Find out the best makeup for your skin type, colour and believe it or not the same research should be done for perfumes as well. Different perfume scents smell differently on different body types. Also the proper application of perfume is essential to make sure that it lasts on you the whole day. Little dabs on your pulse points and a tiny spritz on your hair will make it smell wonderful!
