Perfume Smell Different?


Why the same perfume smell different than my friends?

Everyone's skin chemistry is different.  Skin acidity, diet, and hormones all affect a fragrance.

The biggest factor in how a fragrance will smell on you is your body's PH balance. Ideal PH is alkaline - but stress and poor nutrition will turn your balance to acid, and that will affect fragrance.Diet can affect the way a fragrance smells. With high fat, spicy diets, for example, fragrances are more intense. A  change in diet can change skin chemistry, causing a fragrance to smell differently.Skin type also affects the way a fragrance smells.  Fragrances on women with oily skin will have a more intense scent than those with dry skin.

EOTD: Green with Sugarpill

A simple eotd, with one of my favourite colours: green


I only used 2 sugarpill products for this: Midori eyeshadow and Junebug loose powder. I forgot to use some base on my inner eyecorner, that's why it looks lighter than the rest.

Junebug is on my moving eyelid and Midori is above my crease and a bit in my outer V.
I used a neutralcoloured highlighter below my brows.

I applied black gelliner and some Woody Green eyeliner by Gosh below my eyes.
I love how sugarpills products can create beautifull eotd's with just 2 products, but also really interesting ones with more. I can really recommend this brand, just too bad it isn't a bit cheaper :)

EOTD: Hysteric Magentric Weekend(er)

Here's a fast look I did with 2 of my new Sugarpill powders and one I already owned.



Since I was going to work and I wasn't expecting Magentric to be that bright, I added some Hysteric in my outer eye corner. Just to tone it down a bit, it makes the whole look much softer.

Weekender reflects a bit blue here, but it really is a lilac with lots of diff colours shimmer. I used a neutral colour below my euebrows, because it was all really sparkly already. It didn't need a sparkly highlighter.


I used a black gelliner to give it something dark, aswell as a black kohl below my eyes. I like bright eyeshadow, but because I don't have much eyelashes, I tend to use some black eyeliner to make it a bit darker. I guess I just have a thing for dark ;)

I was wearing a tight knitted dress in black and pink/purple print, and a customer commented on me matching my clothes and makeup. It was the one day that I hadn't had the time to do my nails, otherwise I would have had matching nails aswell. I get these match-moods sometimes *shrug*

Small Enchantra Haul

Last month, it was bargain galore at Enchantra, and ofcourse one of those bargains was vSugarpill's loose powders. I totally love these powders, and I really wanted a few more, especially the new colours.
So when they were 8,95 euro instead of 12,95 euro, I ordered these 3 beauties:




 I ordered:
Magentric: a gorgeous pink with lots of shimmer
Weekender: a totally fabulous lilac purple with amazing multicoloured glitter
Magpie: a dark blue with a hint of green. (i havent swatched this one yet, im not entirely sure, haha)



These came as a thank you gift in the package, I think they are adorable. I might use them or valentine nails or spring nails :)

The jars are quite big, you get a lot of product.

With flash:


Weird really, the flash makes Magentic look darker, Weekender a bit dull and Magpie look much brighter.

Without flash:
Magentric and Weekender are both brighter, but if you click on the pic you can see the awesome glitter thats in it.


I already used the first two, and I'll try to swatch all of my Sugarpill loose powders soon. I have 7 now!
If you're interested in purchasing these, Enchantra sells thm for 12,95 euros a piece.
