Obviously when your shopping for perfumes or any other type of fragrant beauty product online you have pros and cons. I think the pros out way the cons any day.

If youre buying a product you have used before or have been around with some frequency there is no comparison. Hands down winner is online purchases. You know what youre getting and youre going to get it at a discount price if you pick the right place to buy. Online perfume stores are far cheaper than any big named retail stores. Some online perfume shops offer free shipping or a free gift with purchases over a certain dollar amount. Be wary if the offer has too many so called FREE GIFTS. Because more than likely the store is going to hide those cost in your price and you could end up paying more for the perfume than you really have too.

If youre buying a fragrant beauty product that youve never used before or never smelled you need to be more careful and maybe do a little research on the type of perfumes you use now. The easiest way to do this is sample the product before you purchase it. When youre at the high price retail stores ask for samples and wear the perfume. Be sure not to smell too many because your nose can get confused and trick your senses. Take the perfume on test drive and then see how you feel about it. This is the smartest way to purchase because if you just smell it or smell it on someone else it doesnt mean its going to smell the same on you. Perfumes react different with each individual.

Another way that could help you choose what perfume is right for you is learn some simple information about the types of perfume you like and wear now. Some online perfume stores have good product descriptions and others not so good. The descriptions can give you some great information. It can tell you what group the fragrance comes from. Most good descriptions will let you know whether the perfume is Oriental, Citrus, Floral, Cyprus, Herbal etc Sometimes the description will let you know if its a daytime or nighttime fragrance. Simply look at the fragrances you know and wear to give you a better idea of what types of you might like.

If youre buying fragrance for a friend or intimate friend use the same information above to help. You should also consider there personality and where they live in your choice for them. Buying a fragrance that they already wear and like is the probably the safest bet. If you want to surprise them with a new fragrance be sure you do a little research to help you in your decision.

One thing about it ! There is a fragrance for everyone and if youre a smart shopper you can save mega bucks with online purchasing.

Those of us of a certain age are sitting ducks for those who sell Botox and vanity surgery. My perspective may help you resist the growing pressure to fix your face.

An impossibly flawless (frankly, plastic) look has become the norm among Americas actors and models. And have you noticed that vanity surgeons promote themselves more aggressively with each passing year?

Its working, too. The number of customers for vanity procedures is rising faster than those old signs at McDonalds that tracked sales of hamburgers.

Who dares to publicly criticize the fad for fake faces and bodies? Youd risk being called a spoilsport, a nut or, even worse, someone too socially clueless to understand that nothing in post-modern American life matters more than how you look.

Still, plenty of otherwise well adjusted people have dared to grumble in private. And maybe you have been one of them. Have you ever felt that artificially improved faces have lost their soul, in some intangible but very real way? Even on the surface, you may feel that surgically altered faces lose their individualitythat too many actors on TV, for instance, look vapidly interchangeable.

Or perhaps your social conscience has been stirred by the class war implications of vanity surgery. Read it as a sign of the growing economic divide between Americas rich and poor. Wealthy women today feel social pressure to look impossibly flawless. When Im hired to read their faces for party entertainment, women who dont go under the knife often apologize to me, as though their reluctance to go plastic made them socially inadequate. Is this nuts or what?

Faces Reflect The Soul

As a professional Face Reader, Im here to remind you that vanity procedures have consequences that doctors wont tell you. For at least 5,000 years, physiognomists (pronounced Fizzy-OG-nuh-mists) have described the connection between physical face structure and the soul. What happens when you learn to interpret data like ear angles, nostril shapes and cheek proportions? You gain insight into a persons patterns with power, money, sex, work and other areas of life. See FAQs at http://www.rose-rosetree.com/faq.htm#aboutface .

How accurate is Face Reading? I wish you could follow me around, as I do individual consultations, classes, event entertainment and media interviews on five continents. Youd find that the accuracy level of my trademarked system, Face Reading Secrets (R), approaches the purity of Ivory soap. And when you learn to read faces, your readings will be accurate too. One of the most important discoveries youll make is this:

Faces arent Silly Putty, to reshape at will and whim. Vanity surgery changes people, often in deeper ways than they think. Theres a reciprocal relationship between the physical face and the inner person. Usually we evolve first on the inside, setting off a corresponding physical change. Because the relationship is reciprocal, the reverse is also true: When we alter the physical face, the inner person must follow.

For this to happen, the number of physical procedures need not approach the grotesque levels of alteration done to Michael Jackson and Jocelyne Wildenstein. Even relatively minor vanity surgeries, or a shot of Botox, bring inner consequences. Over the past 15 years, your face could have had more than 15 of natural changes--_not_ counting wrinkles. A professional face reading, costing just a fraction of vanity treatments, can give you an Inner Makeover. See more at http://www.rose-rosetree.com/facereading/FaceReadingPerson.htm .

Want a great tan? Duh! Then you want a great sunless tan. If youve been paying attention at all to what researchers say about the damaging effects of the sun on your skin, you know that lying out in the sun or in a tanning bed is out of the question. I guess you could choose alligator skin and a really good skin cancer scare it you really wanted to, but I have faith that people today are better informed and therefore smarter about the way they tan.

Fortunately for us, advances in research and development have provided us with some pretty good, fairly inexpensive alternatives to get that summer glow some of us absolutely cravesunless tanners. Today you can get that golden glow from an aerosol can, foams, lotions, creams, gels, towelettes, sprays, and mousses. There are certainly plenty of sunless tanning products out there to choose from, but which ones really work, and which ones are duds? Great question. And here are some great answers.

Prevention magazine found more than 30 people willing to participate in a test of 30 sunless tanning products. The test was done in January, when people have that pasty winter look and are aching for the golden glow of summer. In the words of Prevention Magazine.com, 9 products (out of 30 tested) made our volunteers look like they'd just jetted back from St. Barts (as opposed to looking like they'd just emerged from the spray chamber at Earl Scheib Auto Painting). Their fake tans compared favorably with a $50 spray-on tan one tester got in New York City. So lets take a look at these nine products with such favorable results so that you can get an unbiased opinion about what really works and what doesnt.

Here are the nine products and how they rated:

1. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer got an A+ for price, scent, and streak-free coverage with a tan that lasts a day or two. Repeat daily for extended tan.

2. Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion was voted best deep, dark tan; it tanned even the darkest-skinned tester. Quick-drying but with a slight odor. You get 3 to 4 days of a streak-free bronze.

3. Coppertone Endless Summer Sunless Tanning Gradual Tan Moisturizing Lotion provided the most even, streak-free tan of the bunch; several applications gave a deeper tan. The tan lasted 2 days but is mild enough to use every day.

4. LOreal Sublime Bronze Dual Action Instant Bronzer & Self-Tanning Lotion is a tinted self-tanner/bronzer combo; tan deepens from initial instant bronze effect. One tester described her tan as sunburn gone bronze. The vitamin E formula was reported to leave skin feeling smooth and healthy with a tan that lasts about 4 days.

5. Neutrogena Build-a-Tan Lotion for Body and Lotion for Face with SPF 15 is gentle enough to use twice a day for faster tanning, or every other day for gradual darkening; tan lasts 3 day to a week, depending on skin tone.

6. Neutrogena MicroMist Tanning Sunless Spray provides a hands-free airbrush application from an aerosol can that will let you reach even hard-to-reach places without help. You get 4 to 5 days of a salon-like airbrush tan, but be careful with your strokes as spray is colorless.

7. Clinque Body Quick Bronze Tinted Self-Tanner Mousse for Body and Face Self-Tanner gives a beautiful, glowing tan that lasts 4 days or more, but the body mousse can be a little tricky because its sticky and can take up to 20 minutes to dry.

8. Estee Lauder Go Tan Sunless Towelettes are colorless towelettes that give you a natural glow with just a few swipes for a tan that for about 3 days. These can be great for traveling or for people always on the go.

9. SkinCeuticals Sans Soleil Sunless Tanner got kudos for how this tanner glides on just like a moisturizer with the most natural tan of the bunch and not a single streak; the downside is that this tan fades in 2 days.

There you have it. Nine sunless tanning products with great reviews from over 30 testers trying 30 different products. If you dont already have a self-tanner or bronzer that you absolutely swear by, you might want to give one or all of these a try, and see if you find a new favorite. If you havent started your own research yet, this list of nine sunless tanners is a fantastic way to start. Prevention magazine has already done the work for you, taking out most of the guess work. Now you are better armed for that search to find just the right golden summer tan in a bottle, can or tube.

For eons, it seems, women the world over have made use of a staggering array of highly imaginative aids to preserve or improve on what nature bestowed upon them. Nor are these beauty secrets always the privilege of the rich, but transcend class and even, in these equal-opportunity modern times, transcend gender.

And while it's true that Westerners of both sexes sometimes go to extremes to maintain their physical appeal - in the form of cosmetic enhancements, fat removal, and any manner of unpleasant and expensive, not to mention risky, procedures, it's sadly true that some of the most basic beauty secrets and cosmetics in fact cost very little and can help those who follow them to the letter to maintain both their health and their attractiveness.

A true fundamental of any beauty regime is adequate hydration. Yes, drinking enough of that bland, inexpensive substance water (6-10 glasses per day) is de rigeur for plumped-up, glowing skin and efficient elimination of all those nasty toxins our bodies are awash with in these polluted modern times. As an inner cleanser and flusher-out of dross it's unbeatable, and an essential staple among beauty secrets and reduces the need for expensive cosmetics.

Obviously diet plays a big role in skin condition too - if you're deficient in the nutrients necessary for good skin health, your complexion will suffer and you may well look older (and more tired) than your years. Regular consumption of fruit and vegetables and their juices - especially the organic kind - will help boost energy and prevent deficiency, unlike refined foods which I find often have a lethargic effect which does nothing for your energy levels and joie de vivre - one important source of your inner as opposed to outer beauty.

Exercise is, of course, another well-known beauty secret for the way it oxygenates the blood, and, like H2O, is a totally gratis resource! Even fairly gentle exercise like jogging or swimming can help with skin tone and improved circulation and digestion and reduce the need for cosmetics, leading to more efficient metabolism and elimination of impurities, which enhances the health generally and the skin specifically. Exercise also leads to the release of endorphins - those "feel good" chemicals which give a natural high and more optimistic outlook. Staying positive in turn makes for a healthier immune system and possibly longer life. More tips and info on feeling and looking younger can be found at www.AntiAgingTreatments.net

As so many people's lives revolve around close relationships, clearly one of the biggest cosmetic beauty secrets of all is the making and maintaining of close and deep ties throughout one's life, for the support and nurturing that these can give in times of need. Also, and not least, for the simple, undemanding companionship and sense of community spirit relationships in general provide which can help keep at bay the isolation and even alienation that so increasingly affects modern man, with a correspondingly negative impact on his health and well-being.

But at the end of the day, there is often always the need for some extra Beauty boost and the use of comsetics and comsetic products will always be there for us girls. Using cosmetics doesn't have to be too labourious though as following the above steps can greatly reduce the need for some of the cosmetics and leave for a more natural beauty than any cosmetic product can produce.

1. Wrinkles & Skin Tone

It is not wrinkles that are the major factor in making you look older it is actually skin tone.

Uneven color, blotchy skin and dark spots reduce the radiance of the skin making it look tired and old.

Look for skin care products that will make your skin look brighter and lighter. Ask at the beauty counter for skincare cream that regulates Melanin and will ensure more even lighter skin.

2. Exfoliate

By exfoliating the skin you are essentially making it more radiant.

Think of a mirror if you polish it then it becomes more reflective and clearer and its the same with your skin.

Exfoliate and you polish your skin, (by getting rid of the top layer that makes it look dull) increase its radiance and make it look more youthful.

Exfoliate twice a week for healthy radiance

3.Your skin is a muscle

Many people spend hours in the gym firming there body but how many people do with their face? If you do then you will exercise it prevent wrinkles, increase circulation and make it look more radiant.

Always give your face a good massage when putting skin cream on and use facial oil twice a week for at least 5 minutes to ensure the blood gets flowing and you look healthy and radiant.

4. Get a moisturizer that Plumps Skin

This will make your skin look radiant youthful and make it glow. Plump skin reflects light better and makes you look more youthful.

Get a skin cream which retains water or one that boosts collagen. Collagen reduces with age and this means the skin becomes dull and lifeless.

A moisturizer with retinol in will make your skin feel firmer and give you a healthy complexion.

5. Reflect light

Get a reflective moisturizer. There are many creams with radiance or brightness in their names as they will reflect light and make you look younger.

If you can use a skin cream with high SPF not only will it protect your skin from everyday sun damage, they also contain zinc dioxide and titanium that not only deflect light but make your skin appear smoother.

6. Two great supplements

Two fantastic supplements you can take to make your skin plumper and protect against environmental damage are:

Omega 3 Fish oil and Evening primrose oil,

So, take them as part of your daily beauty regime.

The above tips will give you an instant lift and make you look younger and feel better.

With the risk of sun cancer evident in traditional tanning methods such as direct sunlight and tanning booths, sunless tanning products have become a popular alternative to getting a golden tan.

The most popular method of sunless tanning is through products you apply on your skin, such as creams, lotions, foams, gels and sprays, which turn our skin from pasty white to a crisp tan. But, there are also tanning pills and sunless tanning mist that can be professionally applied at a salon through a machine or even an airbrush artist.

But how do these products work: The human skin is made up of two main layers, the inner, or dermis and outer, or epidermis. When it comes to tanning, the layer we are most interested in is the epidermis. The epidermis has two layers, the stratum basale and the stratum corneum. The deeper layer is the stratum basale, and that is the layer that is affected by tanning in the sun. The outer epidermis is the stratum corneum. This is the layer where the sunless tanning products react. So, in general the outermost layer gets dyed temporality. But, each tanning product works slightly different.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective sunless tanning products are ones containing the chemical dihydroxyacetone, better known as DHA. DHA is a colorless sugar, and as it interacts with the dead cells in the stratum corneum, a color change occurs. Color resulting from the DHA ingredient lasts about five to seven days. DHA can be found in sunless tanning lotions, creams, gels and sprays. Check product labels to see if the product contains DHA.

DHA is also found in the formulas used in sunless tanning booths. When the customer follows the directions properly, these sunless tanning booths can produce an instantly flawless tan. These tanning booths are equipped with an air brush delivery system that sprays on a tanning solution comprised of DHA and bronzers. So, the bronzers give an instant color and the tanning solution with DHA gives a deeper color that allows this instant tan to last up to a week.

More about bronzers: Bronzers can come as powders and moisturizers, and are often also combined with other self-tanning methods. A bronzer applied alone creates a tan that can easily be removed with soap and water. Bronzers work more like a make-up, tinting the skin temporarily. However, as noted, other self-tanning products can contain bronzers to give an instant color, while the other chemicals take longer to appear. So, a bronzer can act alone or help out with a fellow sunless tanning lotion.

Another ingredient found in self-tanners is the amino acid tyrosine. Makers of these products claim that tyrosine increases melanin formation in the skin, which then accelerates the tanning process. In fact, you may have heard these products referred to as tanning accelerators. This ingredient is usually found in sunless tanning pills or lotions.

Finally, sunless tanning pills work through a chemical usually used to add color to foods: canthaxanthin. When it comes to self-tanners, canthaxanthin is most commonly found in tanning pills. Once the canthaxanthin is consumed, the chemical is deposited throughout the body, including the skin, resulting in an orange-brown color. These canthaxanthin-containing pills also work to accelerate a suntan. The FDA has not approved this as a tanning agent, however.

Going back to the layers of skin, it is important to understand that millions of dead skin cells leave the body every day. This is why our tans disappear. Since sunless tanning products work on the outermost layer of skin, the color will dissipate in less time than a regular suntan. We actually have a new epidermis every month or so! So, if sunless tanning is the only method of tanning you are using, it is important to maintain the tan by using your specific product every few days.

Hockessin, Delaware, November 5, 2006—It can be hard to go outside the norm when it comes to choosing a makeup color. Typically, when you find the color that works for you, it is that same color you grab out of the cosmetic bag every day. With the season changing however, cosmetic experts are saying to take a chance and change your look. And whatever you do make it bold!

Instead of keeping up with the soft, sporty, sun-kissed look of the summer, one makeup tip is to begin using more bold colors in your makeup regime to take you into the fall season, said Barbara Harrington, a Hockessin resident and distributor for SeneGence International?.

Bold lip and eye colors are perfect for fall seasonal events and holiday parties. And vibrant make-up will offset the darker, heavier clothing often found in your fall/winter wardrobe. So, be fearless with color, but be careful not to go overboard" cautions Harrington as her next makeup tip.

"A bold eye or a bold lip is the perfect accessory for the fall," said Harrington. "Pick a feature to define: bright, bold colors like berry tones, plums and reds are perfect for lips and deep shades such as indigo, onyx and charcoal will make the eyes really stand out are some other makeup tips to consider for transition into our next season."

"This is the time of year where you can try new things while defining your best features. Be creative and have fun with color," said Harrington. "With bright, bold colors, you can make a statement."

Berry-toned colors usually work for all skin tones, but if you are not sure which colors will look best on you and if you don't usually wear makeup.

"Accentuate one feature: Pick either your eyes or lips. If you heavily define both features, it will look overwhelming and unnatural" states Harrington.

There is no need to be heavy on the blush either when there is emphasis on your eyes or lips, but a touch of bronzing powder on your chin, forehead and cheek will give a nice sun-kissed look that is perfect year-round, said Harrington in her next makeup tip.

The majority of skin damage is caused by the sun, so wear any moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher.

If you want to get a better skin tone and complexion you need to nourish your skin from the inside and this is one of the best anti aging tips you can utilize.

You are what you eat, so make sure you eat the RIGHT foods and get glowing healthy skin.

Here are some foods guaranteed to help in the fight against anti aging:

10 anti aging food groups to eat for radiant skin

Multigrain bread

For selenium, this vital trace element is essential for making glutathione, an enzyme that cleans up free radicals, which are present in the air and cigarette smoke.

Other good foods for selenium include muesli, shrimps and sunflower seeds.

Sweet potatoes tomatoes and spinach

For three important antioxidants these foods are great.

Beta-carotene present in sweet potatoes, lycopene present in tomatoes and lutein present in spinach.

They all go into the skin and help reflect harmful UV rays and act as a permanent sunscreen.

Cherries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes

All contain anthocyanins an antioxidant that keeps the skin supplied with nutrients through blood vessels leading into the face.

Oily fish

Are a great source of protein to regenerate collagen and elastin, as well as omega 3 oils, these are essential to keep the skin subtle and hydrated. Good foods include: Salmon, mackerel, herrings and sardines.

Crab, sardines, lean beef and wheat germ

A great source of copper, a trace element that is essential for making melanin, the pigment in the skin that helps to absorb aging UV rays from the sun. It also helps fight age spots the tell tale sign of aging.

Soya milk, lentils, bean sprouts, yogurt & wholegrain cereals

These contain plant oestrogens, which help make lubricating oils and collagen in the skin for a healthier look. They also help repair collagen and elastin, which slow down the thinning of the skin and the formation of fine lines.

Oats

Contain the trace element silic acid, which is used to make the spongy cells that lie between collagen and elastin fibres and make the skin full and plump slowing down the formation of fine lines.

Whole meal pitta, gogi berries & muesli

Pitta contains ferulic acid, berries contain vitamin c, and muesli contains vitamin E. Why take these? Vitamin C and e are great for fighting harmful UV rays and gogi berries have 15 times more vitamin C than an orange gram for gram.

Eat lots of vegetables and drink lots of water

Two litres of water a day to keep skin hydrated and 2 portions of vegetables for lots of nutrients for the skin, the best ones are outlined above but also look to eat lots of peppers broccoli and carrots.

Remember it's the SPF That counts!

By protecting your skin from the outside with a sunscreen, you will protect yourself from the major cause of skin damage harmful UV rays and it really doesn't matter what type of skin cream it is, it's the SPF that's important!

Feed your skin well and it will last a lifetime

By nourishing your skin from the inside it will look better and gain additional protection and if you eat the above foods be in the best condition it possibly can.

In anti aging terms nourish from inside!

Nourishing your skin from the inside is far more effective in anti aging terms than nourishing your skin from the outside.

The above may sound logical, but many people still feel that by rubbing in some miracle skin cream they will look younger quickly and end up disappointed.

Remember one final point:

You are what you eat so feed your skin well and reap the benefits.
