I really want to buy Ck One Summer!, but I am unseure wether the ones on Ebay are legit and genuine.

It says on the site the fragrances are 100% genuine, but who knows?

Or should I just go to a proper department store?

You’re at the perfume counter and it suddenly dawns on you. What on earth does Elizabeth Taylor or Sarah Jessica Parker or Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez or the unfortunate Brittney Spears know about perfume?

Judging by the perfume counter, you’d think they knew a lot. Fragrances by celebrities are big right now (just check out a fashion magazine) and it appears the trend is still on the upswing. So are they good fragrance choices?

Some people figure it’s just a marketing gambit and walk away. Others would argue that a celebrity would likely only endorse a product they liked, so perhaps it’s more like a “seal of approval.” And who knows more about glamour than some of the folks who attach their names to perfume bottles?

The role a celebrity plays in developing a fragrance varies a lot from product to product and celebrity to celebrity. Some celebrities play a very active role in developing a fragrance, others just have approval rights and let a team of experts work out a fragrance that’s marketable. Sarah Jessica Parker allegedly obsessed over her fragrance as it was in the works and Brittney Spears reportedly had some input on the bottle and packaging design of her scent Curious.

It’s hard to say if that is true or part of the marketing spin on these products. Most right-thinking celebrities do not endorse products lightly (even if some do it frequently). But is the endorsement deal based on love or money?

The perfume industry has been a moneymaker for the last, say, 18 centuries. Individual perfumes make money based on the extent to which sales can offset research and production. Since a very fine perfume may be sold for years–generations even–a classic perfume can make its manufacturer a great deal of money over time. But not all perfumes become classics.

The idea of a “person behind the fragrance” is nothing new. Perhaps Coco Chanel created that mystique when she unveiled Chanel No. 5, a perfume she did not invent and marketed by a company she was involved with. However, Coco Chanel quickly became Chanel No. 5’s “persona” which was a boon both to her own career and legend as well as the perfume (it’s been around since 1923).

Designers have always had fragrances. From Christian Dior to Paco Rabanne, from Calvin Klein to Vera Wang, it’s almost obligatory for a design house to have a perfume. Even luxury brands (not designers) have signature scents: Tiffany, Coach, Burberry.

It was only a matter of time before that sphere extended to include American royalty, that is, movie stars, singers, and celebrities. At first, famous women merely served as spokespeople for the perfume. Today, they are more likely to have their name on the bottle than on the ad.

But should you buy them? Celebrity fragrances tend to be produced by the major perfume houses, so you should expect to get a high-quality product. Celebrities also make sure there is some glamour and appeal in the packaging and promotion, so the perfume will likely have some of that mystique rub off on it. In other words, it’s probably worth a whiff.

But should you buy celebrity perfumes as gifts? Should you add them to your collection? That depends on what type of perfume lover will wind up with the celebrity scent.

Among the men and women of fragrance, there are really only three types of perfume fan.

The first is the person who is enamored of America’s celebrity culture. This includes lots of young men and women, particularly those who are big fans of specific celebrities. They love celebrity perfumes. If you don’t know what to give that person who adores Celine Dion, a celebrity fragrance is a great idea.

The second type of person of fragrance is the one who has very specific ideas about fragrance. Perhaps they have a signature scent or they have just made up their minds that they hate Dior but love Givenchy or some other quirky thing. These are the equivalent of people who don’t like the vegetable to touch the meat on their dinner plate; they are finicky. This kind of person is usually intelligent, confident, self-assured, and shares her opinion a little too freely. I suspect Ann Coulter is in this mix. If you buy a fragrance gift for such a person, be sure to find out what they like. In all probability, they do not like celebrity perfumes because, quite frankly, they dislike the cult of celebrities.

There is a reason for this, of course. Celebrity scents have to be made to appeal to a lot of people, but not everybody adores scents that have “mass appeal.” To do that, you have to create scents that have the least ability to offend people. Bottom line, you end up with fragrances that most people like but few people love. The second type of person finicky, and finicky people are hard to shop for.

The third and final person of fragrance is the true perfumista, the person who wears a lot of perfume and knows about them. This is a more free-spirited individual who is, paradoxically, the least likely to be a perfume snob. Perfumistas will wear drug-store perfume, providing they like it. These perfume lovers will wear scents that they like (but don’t adore) and they educate their nose and senses to the point that they have very broad tastes and can appreciate a wide range of fragrances.

For them, every scent is judged on its own merit. They probably own some pretty eclectic fragrances and they might very well enjoy a celebrity fragrance.

Generally speaking, people who have claimed a celebrity fragrance as their personal favorite (like the lady at work who loves White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor), who are young and still sweetly impressionable, or those who adore specific celebrities are ideal candidates for celebrity fragrances. So are people who have sort of broad tastes for fragrance and seem open-minded about trying new things.

Should you check out the celebrity fragrances at the perfume counter? Absolutely! You may even find some that you really like.

The cosmetic industry is getting bigger and bigger by the day.  This is because looking good has been engrained in society and there is an obvious obsession about wanting to look beautiful and handsome. However, before you go buying beauty products, it is important for you to consider your health. Statistics show that there are chemicals that pose potential danger that are used to produce beauty products. Many chemicals have not been fully studied and studies of some chemicals have not yet been released.

As you go out to buy all sorts of cosmetic products, think about safety. The following tips are designed to help you make decisions that will not cost your life. Keep in mind that many chemicals used in beauty products have been associated to ailments like cancer.

HAIR one of the most common hair cosmetic product is hair colour products or agents. Know the chemicals that have been banned by researching on the different hair colouring products. The best thing is to look for products that are herbal-based. There are so many products of this kind that will not harm you.  Choosing light colours is a good precaution on safety. Also, never wash your hair before applying dye. Let the sebum protect you from the chemicals.

MAKE UP this is one of the most important aspects of beauty. More and more women and men are using all kinds of make up and this trend continues to grow.  When buying eye shadow or lipstick, steer clear of products that have azoic colorants in them. Also, when buying nail polish be aware of formaldehyde which is a notorious carcinogen.

CREAMS there is a host of different products in the market, buying creams may be overwhelming. However, with the following tip, you should make a decision that will safeguard your health. Go only for products with natural ingredients like oleic acid, fumaric acid, tannic acid, honey, algae, vitamin E, chamomile and others. As a shopper, you need to do away with ignorance and know the ingredients contained in products therein.   

TOOTHPASTE there is a harmful substance that is used to make toothpaste and you should avoid it at all cost. The substance is called triclosan. Toothpaste that can be trusted will not contain this substance and in many places, it has been banned. Again, try herbal products because they will contain ingredients that can be trusted with regard to cosmetic and health products.

PERFUME when buying perfumes stick o the nitrate musks. This is because they have been proven safe. There are many studies underway to determine whether polycyclic musks are suitable. All in all make sure to keep away from perfumes that have life prolonging substances called ftalates.

SUNSCREEN LOTIONS it is always wise to stick to natural products that contain mineral filters. Many chemical-based sunscreens will do more harm than good. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are good filters.

DEODORANTS with regard to deodorants, it is absolutely necessary to take full caution. Aluminium salts and parabens have been linked to breast cancer. It is therefore vital to stay away from products that contain these ingredients or substances. Stick to more natural compounds like ammonium alum.
