Fragrances are complex mixtures of natural and synthetic chemicals diluted in alcohol. That alcohol is the first thing to evaporate, which is why you should wait a few seconds before smelling a perfume on your skin. Once the alcohol is gone, the scent ingredients known as top, middle, and bottom notes develop. Top notes are fleeting (think citrus) you smell them first and they disappear within a few minutes. Middle notes create the body of the scent and are usually floral or a combo of fruity and floral. Bottom notes are the fragrance anchors, they’re the heaviest and stick around the longest. These are often woody, smoky, or musky. So if your favorite scent has serious staying power, it probably has more base notes in the mix

Styling SHORTCUTS!
Don't log hours in the mirror! Here's how to look hot in less time.
1. Wash At Night
Gather damp hair in a high bun before bedtime. You'll wake up in the morning with soft, pretty texture.
2. Get Mega Volume
Mist hands with hairspray, then massage your scalp. It's an easy (and relaxing) way to set your style.
3. Focus On The Front
When you're in a rush, just perfect the pieces that frame your face. When these look polished, so do you!
