Show Beauty Box By Rustl Chappell A man may not remember the dress you are wearing for even five minutes, but the perfume you wear will always be a reminder to him. For this reason the wise girl will make sure that she is not only "nice to be near," but with the help of a co-operative scent she is "exciting to be near." The variety of perfumes, colognes, toilet waters, sachets, and all the "stepsisters", choosing something "just right" for you can really be fun... but as in all beauty secrets, let discretion guide your hand. Never test mof e than three scents at one time. If you are going to choose one or more expensive perfumes, take a little time to find your choice if you don't find it immediatly. Experiment with the different fragrances, and find one you like...or more than one. Some women like to choose one scent, and to keep it exclusive, exclu-sive, making it a sort of subtle trademark, and they carry it out in their soap, toilet water, ?l . perfume, sachet, cologne, so that they are always surrounded by the one fragrance. This can be truly effective, but if you are the type who is not satisfied by one scent forever, or if you are the type who likes to change ' your perfume with your mood, that can be delightful too. The fragrances on the market now make shopping an adventure in itself. With a spray of perfume mist in the right direction, you can change your mood or even your outlook on life. Some perfumes just make you feel that you are part of the "tweedy" set, and somehow you act accordingly. accord-ingly. For the exciting evening in black velvet trousers and white jersey blouse, there are fragrances which make you feel that anything Cleopatra did, you can do better. For the domestic . girl there are the light, innocent, flowery scents to put the gleam in a mans eye which portends the vine-covered cottage. ) Scent is important to the woman who would be known as a woman, and there are enough varieties that all wamen can i be suited. Even young girls i ' . may be started with the light, flowery colognes created especially espec-ially for young girls. Mothers can teach them that they should be sweet smelling always, go that anoher step is made easier in the transition from little girlhood to young womanhood. And the mother who understands scents and their application herself has an easier task of instructing her daughter. The application of perfumes are important, as well, and there are many old wives tales about it. The first rule to be remembered, of course, is... never put perfume on clothing. The stale scent of it will be a long time leaving it. If you want to scent clothing,; do it with sachet in your closets, in your drawers among your lingerie, or small bags of sachet concealed con-cealed under your clothing as you wear it. I have found, too, that if you use a scented soap, put it in your lingerie drawer, and the scent will impart its-self its-self to the clothing. Put drops of parfume at the nape of the neck, in the hollows of the arms, at the wrists, and behind the knees...not behind the ears. Perfume rises, so that the perfume there is wasted. For a special treat to yourself, put just a tiny drop at the tip of your nose... then you will be treated to the same scent of you that other people are. If you are budget wise, you will choose perfume that is good, but you will use it so that it is not wasted. You will see that it is. tightly stoppered, so that it does not eveporate, and you will not, repeat not, buy for the lovely bottle! you can usually buy the same perfume in a plain bottle, and it will cost you much less. Perfume bottles are really lovely can be purchased empty, if you feel it necessary to have lovely bottles, and the cost is much less that way. So choose the one for you, but do choose a scent, and smell pretty always. So many times a woman is known by the scent she wears, and the wearing of it says to people, in effect, "I like you so much that I do want to be entirely pleasant for you." |
