How to test perfume

How to test perfume: 

Methods: 
• Walk around the mall without wearing any scent and look around for perfumes you have sampled before and likes, or perfumes that seem really popular (like on TV.) If you already have some preferences, make a list and bring it with you.
• Approach the sales counter and ask the representative to introduce you to the perfume. Ask her about the scent and how popular it is (whether it has a strong scent or weak scent). If she asks to spray it on you, reject it. Do not spray perfumes on your skin, because your skin absorbs it and the smell stays on your skin all day, so by the end of the shopping, you will leave smelling like a bunch of mixed scents.
• Ask her/him to spray the perfume on a piece of paper (sample sheets) or if they have little bottle samples or plastic samples to take home, ask them about those options. If you really want to smell the perfume right away (from the paper) then ask for coffee beans after to smell. Most representatives keep coffee beans at the counter, because they take away that smell of the perfume, and seem like they calm your head. A bunch of smells may overwhelm you and give you a headache.
• Collect some samples (paper, glass, or plastic) and put them in your bag/pocket. Try to spread out the paper ones in different pockets/compartments on your purse so they don't get all mixed up.
• Ask for options. Consider what size you would like to buy, or if there is a combo. If you like 6 perfumes from the same brand (for example) ask if they come in a cheaper, larger package with small perfumes in it.
• Go home. It is not necessary to buy your perfume the day you get there, and leave with a perfume. If it is an emergency ( you need one asap, like for a birthday or party gift) then, try smelling the paper for the first sample when you get there, then wait to smell one and lunch, and then after lunch, so leave some time distance in between sampling, so the smells do not get mixed.
• If you have the option to go home, then smell one paper sample in the car (if you're not driving), then when you get home, wait half an hour, try another paper sample, and put them away. Remember to write down the name of the perfume that you liked
 It is really important to write down the name, otherwise you will forget and it takes longer!
 • Glass and plastic. The next day, try a spray of the bottled ones or the ones in plastic baggies. Remember to record for these too.Before buying, make conversation with the rep about why you choose this perfume and any opinions he/she has about the perfume. Remember to stick with your opinion. If they say they don't like it, it's just their opinion. After all, you are the one who is going to wear it!

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card. Smell it when you first spray it, but also try smelling it again in about 5 minutes, once it's had time to dry and settle. If you like it both times, you...

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils:

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. • Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and stir in the vitamin E oil. The vitamin E oil will help make your lips nice and soft. • Stir in your flavor oil until the texture is smooth and the color is eve...
