Make-up and Perfume

Make-up and perfume for women are what are wine and cigars (or cars and guns!) to men. It simply just appeals to majority of women and we have the tendency to hoard them all the time.

Women have always been more conscious of their appearance, because that is what society has dictated and taught us from the beginning. That is why the make-up industry is flourishing all year long! I personally prefer Clinique makeup as they are the only ones that are compatible with my skin. Believe me, I have tried most of them. Estee lauder makeup I also like, particularly their eye make-up. In fact, I use their eye palette for my everyday look. Clinique products invade my bathroom vanity table because I use them for my skin care too. I actually have the products for their 3-step process: Cleanse. Tone/Exfoliate . Moisturize. I use this:

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap, 6.7 fl oz., Clarifying Lotion, 6.7 oz., Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, 4.2 oz.

 

I actually do not personally go and buy them in the mall. I prefer to order my personal vanity kits online because it saves me time and money to do so. Besides I have memorized the brands I use. I only order from web sites that are secure and have authentic and original brands, like White’s East Hampton.

Enjoying a Cigar After Dinner

I remember how in the days of old, when people belonging to the upper class had formal dinners, it was customary for women to go together outside the dining room into a salon to be among themselves and talk, while men stayed or transferred to an adjoining room to enjoy stronger wine or liquor and Acid cigars.

There are people who convert an entire room to store their cigars, because cigars need to be kept at a specific temperature to maintain its humidity and taste. These are men who keep cigars like a collection. For people who only keep and maintain a few cigars, a cigar humidor will do. A humidor is a box that keep cigars moist. Cigars mature like wines do. The longer they are kept in a controlled environment, the better they taste. Keep the humidor at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. All humidors have humidifiers. To maintain the right humidity inside the humidor, all you need to do is to squirt distilled water or humidifier solution (propylene glycol and distilled water) into the box every now and then.

CAO cigars are touted to be the best cigars, as they have their own quality standards for rating cigars. I am sure it is one of the types of cigars many would like to try.
