The Allure of Celebrites, Fragrances, and Eau de Toilette

Many celebrities, with resonant names in the entertainment industry, have got involved seriously in the fragrances world for the last past years. Prestigious perfume houses offered them contracts in order to use their name for a certain scent. Certainly this association proved to be a win-win strategy: the manufacturer manages to focus the customers’ attention on the name labeled on the fragrance bottle, which becomes the selling point of his marketing plans, and the celebrity takes the benefits of a self-promotion campaign. 

Selena Gomez    The teen icon, Selena Gomez, created her first perfume in 2011 by the help of her devoted fans. She asked for their opinion about the best ingredients that would best suit her personality and the result exceeded all expectations. Selena Gomez Eau de Parfum is a seductive and sweet fragrance that blends the peach, pineapple, and raspberry top notes with the delicious heart notes brought by freesia and musk. The base notes join to the perfume’s composition with rich flavors of chocolate, amber, and vanilla. The bottle design, which reminds of an elegant evening gown decorated with a bouquet of colored lips, is both charming and funny.


Beyoncé Knowles
The first perfume launched by Beyoncé was called Heat, a name inspired after the singer’s performances. The beautiful and temperamental Beyoncé chose the red color, which reminds the colors of the fire, for both bottle and liquid. In fact the whole Heat concept depicts her impetuous personality: the sexy top notes offered by magnolia, peach, and red vanilla-orchid continue with the sensual accords of honeysuckle and almond. The perfume’s symphony ends with the passion of amber, sequoia, and tonka bean scents.


Lady Gaga
The unpredictable and tumultuous American artist Lady Gaga released her first perfume in September 2012. Fame by Lady Gaga looks pretty much with its creator. The composition does not follow the usual fragrance pyramid, using the “push-pull technology” that combines ingredients in a way to disclose fragrances at the same time, without respecting any hierarchy. The main accords incorporate the deadly flower Belladona, apricot, saffron, jasmine and tiger orchid. Do not let yourself fooled by the black color of the liquid! Lady Gaga never denies her surprising and mysterious personality: Once Fame touches your skin, it becomes invisible.

How to Get Lighter Skin

How to lighten your skin and fade dark spots

For many people, dark spots are a very big problem when it comes to their skin complexion. Having dark spots is not only annoying but also embarrassing – for example, your facial skin could be light but your armpits may be dark despite your efforts to keep it clean and shaven. If you think that you are in a hopeless situation take heart because there are still ways to lighten skin that has a tendency to darken.

One way to lighten your darkening skin is to identify what your real skin color is. If you are using whitening products on other parts of your body, such as your face, but don’t use the same whitening products on other parts of your body then it is simply natural that your skin would turn dark when left untreated. Some women are in a hurry to get lighter skin but that won’t be easy if you are naturally dark (such as if you have African blood). You may have to determine how white or light you intend to become all over so that you don’t look like a giraffe.

A good dermatologist may be able to refer you to some treatments that are good enough to induce skin whitening in problem areas. Take note that it is often good to get those treatments under the care of a qualified dermatologist in case the treatments are very strong. One treatment that dermatologists do often recommend is the use of fruits or vegetables that have some acids to act as natural whiteners. Have you ever tried to apply tomatoes to your skin? This is a gentle form of treatment which is quite safe. However, some women are not keen on using fruit or vegetable acids because they don’t work very fast – and some women are really in a hurry to get lighter skin so they may turn down this option.

Some deodorant manufacturers may recommend sunflower oil as a skin whitening treatment. If you want to try this out, you can actually buy their deodorant products to see if this works for you. Or maybe you can find a dermatologist who can use a stronger formulation. Be sure that you inform the dermatologist if you feel a strong burning sensation upon use of any products because you might be allergic to some ingredients without knowing this in advance.

One commercially available product that has been proven to really help smoothen and lighten skin is called Tretinoin. You can ask your dermatologist if this is suitable for you. One side effect of using Tretinoin is that the skin where it was applied may tend to become sensitive to sunlight and abrasions so you will have to treat the skin with care once you embark on a Tretinoin application program.

Whatever you opt to do to erase your dark skin areas, be sure that you give the product enough time to work. Many women get badly burned when they get impatient and put on more of the product because they think that this will hasten the lightening process. Given enough time, you may wind up getting the right shade of lightened skin if you do the treatment the right way.
