Dree hemingway advertises for paco rabanne’s new women’s perfume
Dree Hemingway, a model and the great granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, has been in collaboration with Paco Rabanne, a Paris based fashion house. Details are rather scarce for now, however, Paco Rabanne’s press office says that Dree will star in an ad for an upcoming new women’s perfume. She won’t be the official face of the perfume, they have yet to name one.
There is a great anticipation for this new perfume since Rabanne’s 1 Million continues to top men’s cologne top seller list since it’s release in 2008. Look for more details in May and the release of this highly anticipated women’s fragrance in July.
In these hard economic times I believe anything that we, as women, can do to save a little money is well worth the effort. After doing some research I have found some very useful tips on how to preserve your women’s perfume so you may not have to throw it out, like I have done before, and end up buying more because of the loss in it’s potency.
The fragrance compounds in perfumes will degrade and breakdown if they are not stored properly. Store your fragrances away from heat and where they will not be exposed to light, 37-45 degrees Fahrenheit is best, possibly in a refrigerated area. When not in use the should also be kept in their original packaging. Since it is difficult to completely remove oxygen from the head space, opting for spray dispensers is always best to minimize oxygen exposure. Sprays also isolate the fragrance inside the bottle, therefore, preventing it from mixing with dust and skin which will degrade and alter the quality of the perfume.
Three things your women’s perfumes should not come in contact with, or at least at a bare minimum is light, heat and oxygen. If you follow these simple steps an opened bottle will keep its aroma intact for several years.
The British retailer Debenhams revealed in a press release that the average British women’s cosmetic bag is out of date by a worrying 4 years. This is rather concerning because beauty essentials such as, women’s perfume, foundation, blush, mascara, lipstick, eye shadow and liner, and concealer all have a “period after opening” indicator with the number of months of safe use. Make up, perfume and skin care products carry a risk of irritation and infection. Women’s perfume and men’s cologne, when kept to long will lose it’s scent strength.
Your eyes are the one area on your face that you should be very careful with, eye infections can be very painful and long lasting. So to protect yourself, wash your cosmetic brushes and sponges weekly, sponges are perfect for carrying bacteria when kept to long and not washed. Replace make up and such regularly, before expiration date and never share your make up, especially eye shadow, liner and mascara, due to cross contamination and always wash your make up off before going to bed. It is always better to be safe then sorry.
With the way everyone is thinking “go green” and for good reason, I wonder just how green I could go. So I did some research and found that you can make your own green women’s perfume. This is one thing that I never thought of before, I do wonder how many of us women do think about just how green our perfume is.
After some research, I have found that not so many perfumes and colognes are as green as they claim to be. So if you want a true green perfume, try this recipe.
Find a flower that you would like your perfume to smell like. Make sure they are pesticide free and you will need about 1-1/2 cups of petals. Wash the petals to remove all dirt, put 2 cups distilled water in an aluminum pan, put petals in the pan, heat water till just below a boil, do not cook the flowers, let simmer about 2 hours, let cool and strain through cheesecloth to filter all particles, place in a bottle or other storage container and you are done. Use as normal.
The Associated Press and AOL conducted a poll that placed Paris Hilton as the second “Worst Celebrity Role Model of 2006″, behind Brittney Spears. In 2007, Paris Hilton, model, actress, recording artist and author appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s “Most Overrated Celebrity”. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations added a quote in 2009 from Paris stating, “dress cute wherever you go, life’s to short to blend in”.
It doesn’t really matter what your opinion of Paris Hilton is, there is no denying the popularity of her women’s perfume. She started in 2004 with her involvement in the creation of the perfume line by Parlux Fragrances. Due to the sales of the Hilton-branded perfume, there was a 47% increase in sales of Parlux products. Since then, Paris has launched several more women’s perfume and men’s cologne.
I can’t say that I agree with alot of things about Paris Hilton, but, I have to admit that her line of women’s perfume is really nice, and the scents are very beautiful and maybe even sensual. So congratulations to Paris for her line of fragrances.
I worked today, 6:00 am to 2:00 pm, with one thing on my mind. I have tickets to the Detroit Red Wings game. It was so hard to keep my mind on my work.
I finally get home, I shower, I put my makeup on and my favorite women’s perfume, red door. Of course my husband says how nice I look and how good I smell, of course he has to, so he thinks. But he can’t understand why I went all out for a hockey game. Can’t a women just look and smell good just because they want to?
So Valentines Day is right around the corner and I have never actually told my husband what I wanted for Valentines Day because I have always figured that it meant more coming from him. However, this year I’m going to have to slip a few hints, because lets face it chocolate only goes so far.
My idea of the perfect Valentines Day, start the day with breakfast in bed, next a small box of chocolate with one single carnation (red) and a small bottle of Red Door perfume that I can wear to dinner. Dinner will be at a very quite and exquisite restaurant so we can spend a nice romantic evening together. That would be perfect.
Have you ever really looked forward to attending a party only to find out when you get there that every women in the place is wearing a different scent. Rather it be women’s perfume or scented lotions, it can be a bit over bearing.
I went to such a party, and was so not impressed with all the different perfumes that women wear and to the extent that they apply this perfume. I am a firm believer that when you walk out of a room your scent should go with you, not linger in the room until you come back. And if you are going to wear women’s perfume don’t wear scented lotion, that is a big no no!
Ladies, when you apply your perfume try just a little on your pulse points, like your wrists and neck. If you are not sure how much to put on try spraying a little on a cotton ball and applying it that way.
Strangely enough, according to Dr. Alan Hirsch of Chicago Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, you can buy women’s perfume, lotion and powder with the scent of pink grapefruit and appear to be 12 years younger or even 6 pounds lighter. Testers were all male and said that women would appear to be younger through their eyes.
Now obviously wearing pink grapefruit perfume will not take the place of dieting and exercising however, wouldn’t you try any help you were offered? I know I would, especially just after the holidays.
I’m rather curious, why is it that TV commercials feel the need to use half naked women to sell women’s designer perfume? Could it be that the name alone is not enough? Elizabeth Arden, Christina Aguilera and Sarah Jessica Parker to mention just a few, could not sell otherwise, I doubt it.
Now men’s cologne seems to sell better by their name alone, or am I just missing those commercials? Anyway, I think it only fair for commercials to advertise the same with the men, Tim McGraw to name just one.
