Both men and women love fragrances. In particular, female students love to smell good. However, preferred perfume types frequently change among this demographic. Before you can pick the right perfume for you, you better educate yourself on what fragrance notes are. As such, this article will prove informative to you. Besides basic info about fragrance notes, it highlights the most popular fragrance note choices for female students in 2022.

About Fragrance Notes

In simple terms, fragrance notes describe scent combinations that create a unique perfume. Therefore, most perfumes are made using more than one scent. In general, there are 3 main fragrance notes, which are:

  • Top;
  • Heart;
  • Base.

Let us look into these notes below.

Top

The top note is the head or opening note. This scent is what people recognize immediately when a perfume is applied. However, a top scent is usually the lightest and fades the fastest after use.

Heart

A heart note represents the scent of perfume you will smell once it settles. It also forms the foundation of all fragrances and makes up most of the scent. Many 2022 women chose perfumes based on the heart note.

Base

A base note appears immediately after the top note. Nonetheless, it mixes with the top note to create a unique smell. Moreover, this part makes up less than 24% of perfume.

Popular Fragrance Notes for Female Students

Now that you know what fragrance notes are, you can better appreciate the notes female students prefer.

Peppermint

Although peppermint is a popular scent in food items, it serves as an excellent fragrance too. For this reason, female students love using perfumes made with peppermint. In most cases, using a scent that contains this ingredient appeals to both males and females. Since peppermint can be intense for many users, perfume makers prefer to use it as a top or base note. As such, peppermint works best when used in moderation.

Students like spending time researching topics they enjoy, like popular perfume scents. However, doing research for their assignments is something that rarely sparks interest. Learners will find using the best college essay writing service Grab My Essay beneficial for their academic needs. With this provider, they won’t need to do any tedious, boring research and can be guaranteed an excellent mark.

Vanilla

For many years, vanilla has remained a popular scent among females. This fragrance is usually:

  • Sweet;
  • Playful;
  • Sensual;
  • Seductive.

Vanilla also blends well with other scents. As such, many female students love using perfumes that contain this ingredient. Unlike other scents, vanilla can be used effectively as any of the three notes as it has universal appeal.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a fragrance note that has become quite popular with young women over the years. Its popularity is primarily due to its warm and cozy scent. In particular, many women prefer to use perfumes that contain cinnamon during colder periods. Also, cinnamon-based perfumes fit in perfectly with the lifestyle of many female students. Many cologne makers use this element as either a top or base note since too much of it can be overwhelming.

Coffee

Coffee, in general, has an invigorating smell that appeals to most people, even those who do not drink it. As such, many female students like using perfumes that contain this component. What makes the coffee smell pleasing is that it invokes memories of pleasant places like coffee shops and cafés.

Lavender

Lavender is one of the few components that have a relaxing effect on its users. Therefore, people use it when making soaps, lotions, and aromatic products. For these reasons and more, many young women like using lavender-based perfumes. In addition, this scent can be used as any of the three notes.  

Lavender is a soothing and calming scent, which is why many female students lean toward it. It can even offer some aroma therapy effects for stressed students. The most common stress factor for students is homework and various writing assignments that must be submitted within a strict deadline. If you suffer from pressing deadlines, consider getting expert from TopEssayWriting to help you with writing a research paper. If you hire a professional writer, you can feel less anxious about your schoolwork and dedicate more time to fun activities, like picking a fragrance.

Conclusion

Female students prefer using specific fragrance notes, which has become popular among this demographic. Each of these scents appears as a top, heart, or base in perfumes. Yet, most perfume makers use each fragrance differently. Don’t hesitate to experiment with different fragrances – you may discover a liking for popular or unique and underappreciated scents.

9 Luxury Sneaker Brands That Are Worth the Money

The Sneaker Game

It has been a joy to watch the evolution of the sneaker game over the last years. Starting off with the iconic Lacoste trainers, buyers have seen new designs and bolder colors that come with a price. With the sheer variety in the market right now, it makes it difficult to decide which sneakers you should go for. Brands like Gucci have long shown off the sportier side of footwear, and other designers are choosing to join the party. Before you pull the trigger and decide on the pair of sneakers that fit your budget, read below our list of investment-worthy sneakers that will rock any of your outfits. 

The Game-Changer

1.       Golden Goose

This is a brand founded by husband and wife Francesca and Alessandro Gallo. With a shared passion for art and sneakers, they wanted to try creating their own. With fans in their midst, such as Virgil Abloh, Golden Goose prides itself in its position of newfound sneaker relevance. Their products are Italian-made sneakers, which means you don’t break them in as they are already broken in for you. People are always willing to fork out a lot of cash for items from designer jackets to heels, but why not sneakers? If you do decide to make that leap, consider Golden Goose.

2.       Balenciaga

Balenciaga is a name that keeps cropping up – whether in magazines, rap songs, or more. These sneakers have achieved their status by being worn by celebrities and also just because they look incredibly cool. Their crucial Triple S is one of the hottest pairs of sneakers to walk from the catwalks to the sidewalks.

3.       Visvim

The designer Hiroki Nakamura has made great-wearing, futuristic-looking footwear. Combining naturalism and modernism, they are sturdy sneaker shoes and are high-end reinterpretations of things you might have seen before. 

4.       Berluti

Berluti is a brand that is well known for its quality leather. They come in various colors, ranging from green, blue, red, brown, and black. Their unique quality is that they are all hand-painted, giving off an artisanal appearance that makes them impossible to replicate. They can square up with prominent designers because of their wearability and sophisticated demeanor. If you have the money to spend, these shoes are ones you don’t want to miss out on.

5.       Y-3

Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto collaborated with Adidas to create Y-3. It was making a change for forward-thinking shoes in the sportswear range. Many marketing buzzwords came out of this campaign, such as “goth ninja” and “athleisure,” because of their dark-looking nature. Yamamoto’s Qasa silhouette was a crucial component of Adidas’ fashion resurgence a few years ago, and he is now bringing his own style and perspective to all of Adidas’ footwear.


6.       Gucci

The Gucci shoe is hard to mistake for anything else in the market right now. It has its own quality, showing off Italian high fashion. With a plain white background, it pops its signature colors of red and green that fit perfectly around the brand name. The low-tops are a classic, but Gucci is now starting to release many different styles, including chunkier shoes.

7.       Christian Louboutin

Famous for their high heels, these red-soled shoes take on sneakers! They are made in Italy from full-grain calfskin but don’t have any visible branding. The inside of the shoe is made from leather, so you know as soon as you take your first step in these babies, it’ll be nothing but comfort.

8.       Prada

Prada’s sneakers can either be a total impulse around fashion design or look totally minimal. They look highly technical, and so good in construction. Whatever look you decide to go for, it will always make an interesting aesthetic choice.

9.       Alexander McQueen

These sneakers with bold-looking soles are Alexander McQueen shoes in a nutshell. An iconic shoe, unmistakable in the streets, the design is basic, with a solid white color at the base. It has minimal detail, and the little bits of color pop out when you’re walking. If you have the cash to spend, these are shoes you can incorporate into your everyday life while still looking fresh.

A Toast to Roger! By Moët & Chandon

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Perpetuating a tradition that has made the greatness and generosity of the House, Moët & Chandon is thrilled to invite Roger Federer’s friends and fans around the world to celebrate him as he starts a new life chapter, following his farewell to professional tennis. To Roger, the gentleman who deserves one of the greatest toasts ever raised to a sports icon globally!

Starting from 23 September, 2022, Roger’s friends and followers are invited to post a #ToastToRoger on social media – messages of love, appreciation, memories, and wishes for his bright future ahead. A well-deserved celebration, an extra-ordinary tribute worthy of a man who is a universal inspiration of elegance, respect and generosity, and whom Moët & Chandon is proud to have as its ambassador since 2012.
 
The #ToastToRoger initiative is first and foremost intended to bring together all those who love and wish to pay a heartfelt tribute to Roger Federer. Moët & Chandon is looking forward to seeing speeches, memories, dances and all good vibes dedicated to its beloved ambassador. The social media videos, photos, and messages will be compiled into a digital wall of fame, curated by Moët & Chandon, accessible via the House’s digital platforms.

https://youtu.be/jmp97Visj58

The Making of a Surprise

As a special dedication to Roger Federer, the House has worked with the French film and video director Emmanuel Cossu, one of the most avant-garde voices of his generation, to produce a visual record of testimonials by an exclusive circle of remarkable personalities who have marked Roger’s life. For the soundtrack, experimental composer Thomas Roussel translated into music the images depicting Federer’s milestones, as well as his closest fellows’ words of appreciation: without Roger knowing it, family members, friends, and rivals have been secretly asked to participate and leave personal and heartfelt messages.
 
What resonates in these emotional and sincere words are his bravery, his generosity, and his ability to innovate and surprise: the legacy of an inspiring, respectful giant of our era. The voices of Siya Kolisi – Captain of the South Africa Rugby National Team, the Springboks – Rod Laver, Anna Wintour and the tennis legend’s mother, Lynette, guide the public to a better understanding of the man beyond the icon. Amongst the personalities who offered a tribute, Rafael Nadal’s resonates: “To the best rival, who always played like a gentleman”.
 
To echo Roger’s love for the Swiss Alps, where he returns after each significant victory, the director has portrayed Federer at Jungfraujoch, the highest accessible point in Europe. The icon himself was unaware of the reason for the filming: in a great testimony of his trust and respect for the director and the House – feelings which have characterised the relationship since the beginning – Federer will discover, to his great surprise, that it was for a celebratory film of his own life.

“Meeting Roger Federer was a great privilege for me. Capturing this mixture of strength and sweetness is an unforgettable experience.”

Emmanuel Cossu – Film Director

Composer Thomas Roussel added “With this music, I wanted to accompany Federer’s elegance: his precise gestures are mirrored in the string orchestra, first delicate, like the varied notes of a champagne, then more powerful, in a crescendo, with light virtuous touches. At the end, a joyful, major celebration recalls all of Roger Federer’s awards.”

The Roger Federer Foundation

For every post shared with the hashtag #ToastToRoger, Moët & Chandon will make a donation on behalf of the participants to the icon’s charity, the Roger Federer Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to enabling parents and local communities to provide children with the opportunity for a good education.

https://youtu.be/632si6Mok0U

The initiative echoes the House’s previous involvements in Roger’s philanthropic causes, such as The Match For Africa series, also conceived with the aim of raising funds for his foundation. A true gentleman in and out of the league, during his 20th-anniversary celebration in 2018, the tennis icon confessed: “One day, I wish my name to be known more for what the foundation has achieved than for my sports titles”.

Roger Federer and Moët & Chandon

The bond between the House and Roger Federer was sealed in 2012, when he was welcomed as a global brand ambassador and friend of the Maison. Since then, Moët & Chandon has been by Roger’s side during his most celebrated moments, elevating the relationship into an exciting adventure defined by shared values of excellence, elegance, respect and generosity. Roger Federer’s innovation and overall glamour and style resonate strongly with Moët & Chandon, echoing the House’s core values of longevity, success, and a mastery of craft, true to an inimitable style with great attention to detail. 

“It is a proud moment for Moët & Chandon to toast Roger Federer, an extraordinary ambassador whose close ties of friendship with the House will continue well beyond his professional tennis career. We invite the whole world to join us in #ToastToRoger as he embarks on an extraordinary new life journey,”

Berta de Pablos-Barbier, President and CEO of Moët & Chandon.

Moët & Chandon, acknowledging that celebration is at the heart of each era and culture, aims to elevate exceptional moments of togetherness with its effervescence. From trying small to achieving big, from the first step to a milestone, the House celebrates life and everything that comes with it, sealing unexpected and exciting encounters.

Can I Go On a Cruise Without a COVID Vaccine?

Reading Time: 4 minutes

COVID travel restrictions need no introduction. Since the pandemic first struck in early 2020, international travel has been severely restricted by global efforts to halt the spread of the virus.

At certain times and in certain places, that has meant no overseas travel being allowed at all. When it has been permitted, travellers have faced strict rules and regulations – providing a clean COVID test on arrival, mandatory quarantine, having the correct documentation that shows you’ve been fully vaccinated and more.

But as 2020 has progressed, those restrictions have slowly but surely melted away. The majority of countries have now scrapped all restrictions on travel, trusting in vaccination programmes to keep their populations safe. 

Crucially, this now includes allowing unvaccinated people to travel freely. Even countries like Spain, which for a long time had a strict policy of banning unvaccinated travellers outright, have now softened their stance. Unvaccinated holidaymakers can travel to Spain again as long as they test negative for COVID before they go.

But what about cruises? The cruise sector was arguably hit hardest of all by the pandemic. We all remember stories like the Diamond Princess cruise liner which was left stranded at sea with 3,600 passengers on board, a fifth of them infected with COVID and quarantined to their rooms. 

The close quarters on board cruise ships makes it incredibly easy for COVID to spread. As a result, the cruise sector all but shut down completely for over a year. It was only in the wake of vaccination programmes being rolled out around the world that cruise operators judged it safe to open for business again. Rules and regulations were tight, including a total ban on unvaccinated passengers.

Even then, major outbreaks have continued to plague cruise liners well into this year, making the sector reluctant to relax rules any further.

So if you haven’t had the COVID vaccine, perhaps for health reasons, should you kiss your dream of going on a cruise goodbye?

Easing the rules

Cruises have remained the final bastion of the tightest COVID travel restrictions. But it seems now there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just as countries like Spain have now judged that the risks of allowing unvaccinated travellers who are potentially carrying the virus into the country are balanced out by the much larger numbers of citizens who are fully vaccinated, some cruise operators are starting to come to the same conclusions.

From early September, for example, one of Europe’s largest cruise groups – Norwegian Cruise Lines, which includes Regent Seven Seas and Oceania – will welcome unvaccinated passengers on all its ships. That will be subject to anyone who is unvaccinated testing negative for the virus within 72 hours of departure. Similarly, Royal Caribbean is relaxing its rules on vaccination status, but only on cruises departing from some destinations.

Virgin Voyages, meanwhile, has decided to adopt a quota system for unvaccinated passengers. It will allow up to 10% of guests on board any of its cruise ships to be unvaccinated. 

Take precautions

These are all positive steps. But the operators easing restrictions for unvaccinated travellers still represent only a small fraction of the cruise sector. And if you are unvaccinated, you will still face more hurdles going on a cruise compared to vaccinated passengers, including the requirement to take expensive PCR tests before you go.

You also have to take more precautions as an unvaccinated cruise passenger. As mentioned, COVID outbreaks are still pretty common on cruise liners. If you haven’t had a full course of vaccination shots and boosters, you are more vulnerable to the virus. Especially if you have medical reasons for not being vaccinated.

Falling ill on a cruise ship can be an expensive business. You need special holiday insurance to cover the costs of onboard medical care. If you fall seriously ill, there’s a chance you might have to be airlifted to hospital on land, or the ship might have to make an unscheduled stop in port. In either case, the terms of travel as a cruise passenger make you liable for the additional costs, which can be incredibly high.

Vaccinated or not, it simply isn’t worth the risk of falling ill on a cruise and being hit with these charges. Cruise insurance at least gives you the peace of mind that you will be covered financially.

What Does Octopus Jewelry Tell About Its Wearer?

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Are you looking to spruce up your jewelry closet? Want to add something unique to your jewelry selection? Want to wear jewelry pieces that not only enhance your looks but also add significance to your personality? Well, Octopus jewelry is your best bet. 

The octopus is one ocean animal that has inspired many artists and designers worldwide. And why just the artists? Even people these days love styling their looks with various forms of octopus jewelry, depending on the attire and occasion.  

What more? Octopus jewelry has a lot of significance and tells a lot about its wearer. Yes, there are different meanings associated with this jewelry type based on the qualities of this amazing ocean creature. That is the reason why octopus jewelry is so much in trend. And it can be easily available online. All you need to do is visit a good e-store and start exploring your options for octopus jewelry online.

So, if you are thinking about buying an Octopus ring or pendant, read this blog to learn about its significance.

The Many Meanings of Octopus Jewelry

Life beneath the ocean has always been a fascination and mystery for those living outside it. The same goes for the octopus, as it’s a mysterious animal. While it causes fear in some people, there are people who deeply admire it. 

In the same way, it has a little bit of both worlds in terms of its meaning. People in ancient times believed that octopuses could create whirlpools that destroy ships. Further, people living on the shores considered them deities and worshipped them. 

Isn’t it interesting? 

Let’s know more about the meaning and significance of Octopus jewelry. 

Intelligence

Have you ever noticed an octopus’s head? Did you notice it’s a big size? The head of the octopus is much larger than its body. That is why it is known for its intelligence and wisdom. The head of the Octopus has a developed nervous system, which is spread across its eight limbs. Hence, the intellectual abilities of this creature are truly marvelous. That is why it’s often said an Octopus has a total of 9 brains. 

So, does having multiple brains make Octopus any smarter? Well, not really! However, they are creditable for their exceptional brainpower. 

Octopuses have been known for their creativity for ages. But, their intellect has not been completely explored yet. For this reason, accessories, jewelry, and tattoos inspired by octopuses implicate wisdom and intelligence. So, if you have an eye on an Octopus jewelry piece, or you already have one, it indicates you have enormous intelligence. 

Further, this creature has a great ability to solve challenging tasks and find a way out of mazes. Octopuses can also sense threats and use available resources for refuge or protection. They are also praiseworthy for their memory; hurt an octopus once, and they will remember it forever.

Master of Disguise and Adaptive 

This eight-legged sea creature has the ability to change its body color according to its surroundings. Hence, they indicate an adaptive personality. Also, there is no clarity when it comes to their clearness. If you go near an octopus, it will release a cloud of ink to disguise its withdrawal or pullback. Hence, octopuses are also considered a symbol of hypocrisy. 

Many cultures consider octopuses an omen of evil forces as they live in dark spaces under the water. They are also believed to have supernatural abilities. People also associate the creation of the Universe with the octopus’s body – the eight spiral limbs symbolizing the universe untangling from the cosmic center. 

Flexibility 

The first appearance of octopuses is awkward – a large head, eight arms, and virtually no torso. Their entire body structure makes them appear clumsy and bumbling. But, it’s this body that helps them sail through the deep seas. Besides having wonderful limb coordination, they can act with decisiveness in the case of an attack or defense.

Additionally, their spineless body let them sail through the narrowest crevices or openings. They can even seep into a hole that is five times smaller than their head. Amazing, right? 

This eight-legged creature has also been known for its ability to control its body and agility. So, if you are proud of your body or are athletic or a sportsperson, a piece of octopus-themed jewelry will be a perfect accessory for you.   

Immortality and Eternal Life

Octopuses have the superpower to regenerate severed extremities, which is extremely rare.  Besides having nine brains, octopuses have three hearts. And since the heart is a symbol of life, having three hearts means more than life or immortality. So, wearing an octopus jewelry piece means you are full of life. 

The meanings are innumerable. And why not? Our superhero possesses so many traits that are simply unique. So, if you are looking for a jewelry piece that is extraordinarily unique, original, and stunning, wearing an octopus pendant, earring, ring, or bracelet will come in handy.

The Takeaway

The eight-armed ocean hero never fails to mesmerize us with so many meanings and symbols. While you cannot pet them, you can always show some admiration and respect for this amazing creature by buying octopus jewelry online. Start exploring your options today. 

Jaeger-LeCoultre Newest Ambassador: Anya Taylor-Joy

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Jaeger-LeCoultre named Anya Taylor-Joy as a new Ambassador for the Maison, marking her debut with a short video, A Call of the Heart, based on a symbolic phone call welcoming her into La Grande Maison. The video was inspired by a historic phone call that was to have a profound impact on the Manufacture LeCoultre. In 1903, Jacques-David LeCoultre made a call to the Parisian watchmaker Edmond Jaeger to accept the latter’s challenge of creating an ultra-thin watch movement – and so began a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the formation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre company.

https://youtu.be/VnySRLnKxqA

Recognised as one of the most exciting talents of her generation, Anya Taylor-Joy is the living embodiment of modern femininity. Her on-screen presence has a mercurial quality – otherworldly yet intensely present, fearless but vulnerable, innocent yet dangerous. Born in Miami to British-Argentine parents and raised in Buenos Aires and London, the 26-year-old actress won rave reviews for her breakout performance in Robert Egger’s The Witch in 2016.

A series of critically-acclaimed roles followed and, in 2020, the Netflix hit The Queen’s Gambit shot her star into the stratosphere; her mesmerising portrayal of Beth Harmon won her a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors’ Guild award and a Critics’ Choice award. This was followed by significant roles in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Robert Eggers’ The Northman, and she will next be seen in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam with Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, as well as Mark Mylod’s comedy-horror The Menu with Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. Anya is currently filming Furiosa, the Mad Max prequel.

“The encounter with Anya was meant to be. Her long family history with polo and interest in watchmaking led us to a natural partnership. With her ethereal beauty, sensitivity, talent and hardworking ethics, she embodies the values and style of our Maison.”

Catherine Rénier, the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Wearing the Reverso Classic Duetto, Anya perfectly embodies the timeless elegance and multifaceted allure of the timepiece on her wrist. With the elegance of another era and a sharply modern edge, Anya Taylor-Joy is the personification of the Reverso Classic Duetto. The Reverso Classic Duetto brilliantly invokes the codes of the Art Deco style that defines it – a rectangular case, reversibility and iconic gadroons – while displaying two rows of diamonds on its front and reverse sides. Inspired by the Reversos created in the late 1930s, this classic model is the expression of the rectangular icon with a swivelling concept that turns the reverse side into a second expression of time with another style.

New Exfoliating Enzyme Mask: Renewed Skin in a Flash

New Exfoliating Enzyme Mask: Renewed Skin in a Flash
Reading Time: 6 minutes

Many people ask beauty advisors what should be their ideal beauty routine. And generally, the answer is: “It depends”. Beauty routines should always be adapted to one needs, although there are some principles you should not bypass. Experts tend to say there are five essential principles to building an ideal beauty routine:

  1. Cleansing
  2. Treating
  3. Moisturizing
  4. Protect
  5. Exfoliate

Sisley Paris has developed fantastic expertise in beauty rituals or routines. Launching its new Exfoliating Enzyme Mask is the perfect occasion to showcase Sisley’s know-how and the importance of an essential product, often forgotten: Masks.

The New Sisley Exfoliating Enzyme Mask: How to Regenerate Your Skin.

Why is it so important to exfoliate your skin, and why do so many people forget about it? As you might know, our skin is a living organ. It covers all our bodies and represents the perfect interface between the inside of our body and the outside world. The cell activity in our skin is quite intense, and the cellular renewal rate is pretty high. On average, our skin cells renovate every 27 days, which means we end up with many dead cells on our skin’s surface. To maintain your skin healthy and in harmony with the outside world, there is one solution: you need to exfoliate. If you do not remove your dead cells from your skin, it will, over time, create a shield of organic material that will block hydration, interfere with your skin tone and aspect and even create skin problems like acne.

On top of this natural process, let’s not forget all the other things that tend to suffocate your skin and that most of us are exposed to daily. Make-up, excess sebum, urban pollution and impurities build up throughout the day, “suffocating” the skin and leaving it looking dull and dirty.

Exfoliate should be considered as the base of everything. Otherwise, everything else you will do would be for nothing. Sisley is bringing the perfect solution to this challenge with the new Exfoliating Enzyme mask.

Exfoliation using natural enzymes is very different from mechanical scrubs and chemical exfoliants. It acts on the bonds between dead cells instead of working through the friction of micro-particles, as with mechanical scrubs or dissolving the connective material between cells like with chemical exfoliants. Suited to all skin types, including sensitive skin, for the first time at Sisley, this product incorporates a natural fruit enzyme with an exfoliating action: Papain.

papain-sisley

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the raw fruit of the papaya plant. Proteolytic enzymes help break proteins into smaller fragments called peptides and amino acids. This papaya enzyme will help repair your skin and exfoliate. As a fruit enzyme, it helps to remove damaged skin cells and even stimulates the production of healthy fresh cells.

This new mask provides a “two-step” process thanks to the nature of its enzyme. First of all, it is all about preparing and exfoliating. With its natural exfoliating properties, Papain breaks down the bonds between skin cells built up on the skin’s surface. They are then instantly eliminated. Skin is left supple, smoothed and velvety soft, and its hydrolipidic film is entirely preserved. Now exfoliated, it is ready to receive the benefits of subsequent skincare.

As Papain is fragile and unstable, it quickly loses its properties upon contact with water. The only way to maintain its effectiveness was to design a powder-based formula. Surfactants of plant origin, derived from wisteria and Coconut, enable this powder to transform into a foaming cream that purifies the skin while keeping it balanced. Vitamin B3 rids the skin of its dull veil while also giving it a real radiance boost. The pores appear tighter and the skin’s texture is refined and smoothed. Skin is visibly more luminous and even.

The new Sisley mask has an immediate effect. While many masks in the market require a long pose on the face, the new Sisley Exfoliating Enzyme mask only requires one minute twice a week.

Last but not least, let’s talk about the texture. Honestly, it is my first time seeing such texture in a mask. When you place a small amount of product in the palm of your hand, you see a beautiful and elegant powder. As soon as you start working the formula with your fingers, the powder transforms into a delightful cream in contact with water. The experience and the feeling are incredible. It is a true luxury treat.

From Lingerie to Earrings: 5 Accessories Worth Your Investment

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Spending a large sum on an accessory might seem pointless, but it could be an investment in your style and cash flow. Higher quality items will not only look great when worn, but they could last much longer, saving you more money in the long term.

If you are unsure about the best items to pay a little extra for, you have arrived at the perfect article. Here are five accessories worth your investment.

1. Lingerie

Like clothing and footwear, lingerie is available at various prices, as you can choose from cheap designs, mid-range styles, and expensive pieces made from the highest quality materials.

As lingerie is hidden underneath your clothes, you might feel reluctant to pay a little extra for higher-quality designs and materials. Yet, cheap underwear will cost you much more money in the long term. For instance, low-cost bras will likely result in the underwire popping out at a quick rate or the cups deforming. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re buying bras, panties, or chemises; always choose quality over quantity to wear long-lasting lingerie that makes you look and feel good.

2. A Classic Couture Clutch

A classic clutch will complement many outfits hanging in your closet. Give an evening dress or a beautiful blouse with a blazer a splash of glam by investing in a timeless couture clutch for a stunning finishing touch.

Discover beautiful couture evening clutches at judithleiber.com, which feature a metallic leather lining and are available in timeless shapes. The classic design will match many looks hanging in your closet, increasing your versatility and style.

3. Designer Sunglasses

Sunglasses are the epitome of cool. A timeless design cannot only hide tired eyes and dark circles, but they will look fabulous with many clothes in your closet. When wearing a sleek pair of shades, you will appear effortlessly stylish when sitting behind the wheel of your car, walking down a street, or lounging in the sunshine. Designer sunglasses will not only look fabulous, but a quality pair will successfully protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays.

4. Earrings

A high-quality pair of gold or diamond earrings are an investment, as it will retain its shine, style, and value throughout the decades. Choose a classic design to ensure the accessories complement many outfits in your closet. 

A pair of beautiful earrings will add instant glamor and sophistication to casual or formal attire, which will help your confidence soar when socializing or attending an event.

5. A Classic Watch

You get what you pay for when buying a watch. If you pick a cheap design, the strap might break, the hand might stop, or the screen might crack. However, a designer watch with an expensive price tag will likely last for many decades. 

A leather band is a durable, stylish option, but a precious metal is more likely to stand the test of time with some TLC. You can trust you will receive many compliments about the high-end timepiece.

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Planning a luxurious date can be tricky if you’re not sure what type of activity you want to do. Sure, your significant other might be the type that loves to be pampered, but you might not be sure what you should specifically do. 

Still, there are some great ways to make sure your date night is extra special. From fine dining to a romantic getaway for two, there are plenty of ways to ensure your date is one for the books. 

If you’re struggling to come up with ideas for your next date night, don’t sweat it. We’ve got some recommendations on how you can make your next date night a luxurious event. 

Plan a fine dining experience 

One of the best ways to make your date night luxurious is to take your significant other out for a nice dinner. If you’re not sure where to go, ask around for some recommendations from friends or look up some restaurants known for their fine dining and refined atmosphere in your city. When it comes time to make a reservation, be sure to do it in advance. You don’t want to wait for a table on your date night. 

Book a luxurious hotel room 

Booking a room at a nice hotel can be a perfect way to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether for a romantic getaway or a staycation, it’s a great way to be in a relaxed environment. 

Plus, you’ll have access to all of the amenities that the hotel has to offer. This could include things like a fitness center, an indoor pool, or even a spa.

Plan a romantic getaway

If you’re really looking to make your next date night extra special, consider planning a romantic getaway for the two of you. It could be anything from a trip to a luxurious resort or a cabin in the woods. 

The important thing is that you pick somewhere that you know your significant other will love. This way, you can be sure they’ll have an amazing time. 

Find a private outing

For a truly memorable experience, consider doing an activity that’s designed for couples or is relatively private. This could be anything from a couple’s massage to a private boat ride.

For instance, a couples massage is a great way to relax and unwind together. On the other hand, a private boat ride can be a great way to enjoy the scenery and spend some quality time together. 

Focus on the details

One thing to keep in mind to make your date night luxurious is to focus on the details. Make sure everything is perfect, from how the table is set to the room’s smell. 

Candles, flowers, and soft music can all help set the mood. And of course, don’t forget to pick out a special bottle of wine or champagne to really top off the evening. 

Make sure you look your best

Lastly, don’t forget to dress to impress on your luxurious date night. This doesn’t mean you have to wear a ball gown or suit, but you should definitely take the time to look your best. Do your hair and makeup, pick a nice outfit, and ensure you feel confident. This will help improve the overall atmosphere of the date. 

Closing thoughts

You can make any date night a luxurious event with a little planning. Just focus on what your partner likes. With a bit of effort, you can make sure that your next date night is truly unforgettable.

Keep in mind that there are plenty of other romantic couple activities that, on the surface, might not seem too luxurious. However, with the right type of planning and execution, they can be just as luxurious as any of the examples given above. It all comes down to what you and your partner enjoy.

So go out there and plan the most amazing date night of your life! And don’t forget to have fun. After all, that’s what luxury is all about.
