The Scent of Autumn

Although four seasons isn't something I get to enjoy at my dearest homeland, but whenever I get to visit higher grounds like Genting Highlands, Cameron Highland or even my recent visit to Fraser Hill, I enjoyed the cold weather very much and kinda imagine it's autumn for me and put on some autumn-like clothing for the sake of Instagrammable photos.

And did you notice that there's an unique scent that's floating in the air of these cool places? With pine trees and colder climate, flowers at higher grounds blooms more vibrantly and don't get me started with trees, they look so majestic with fog surrounding them. These places really gives me the autumn vibes with autumn scent. 

As this year is approaching its end, I find that I've changed my style to a more earthy look as well as the scent I'm used to. Different from the energetic and fresh feeling of spring and summer, I find that Avon's latest Eau De Perfume - Femme Exclusive speaks to my soul more than my usual perfume. It has a faint scent of jasmine and sparkling pear with a dash of black vanilla in the notes. And to pair with it, there's Avon's latest Eau De Toilette - Homme Exclusive which I can match my perfume scent with Fei without feeling awkward. 

Femme Exclusive and Homme Exclusive, both from Avon's latest perfume collection

Homme Exclusive, bold and masculine

A musky, woody bold scent, I would say I find this scent very familiar, perhaps it's quite similar to something that my dad used to put on himself when I was a little girl, nothing is more powerful and memorable than the sense of smell and memory that comes with it, thanks to my olfactory memory this scent gives me a warmth feeling of father figure as well. 

For guys who aren't into strong scent, Eau De Toilette is your best choice as scent of EDT only lasts around 2-4 hours and only contains 7-15% concentration of fragrance oils, the fresh citrusy scent gradually change into a woody notes with a hint of spice in it. Giving off the energetic but full of confidence and reliable vibes, Homme Exclusive's woody aromatic note is definitely my choice of boyfriend perfume this autumn. 

Avon Homme Exclusive

Femme Exclusive, Eau de Parfum from Avon

Glamorous looking in a diamond cut shaped bottle, my first sniff upon Femme Exclusive has left me a strong impression on this Eau de Perfum. With sparkling pear, oriental floral jasmine infusion and black vanilla essence, these combination brings out the feminine side of me every single time I apply this Eau de Parfum on me. Like aforementioned, scent as the strongest tie of memory, a man will never remember how your dress looks like or what handbag you're carrying, but he will remember your scent and a woman's perfume tells more about her than anything else. 

There are so many female figures that can't live without their perfume, and I find it I'm gradually falling in love with this "smell good feel great" daily ritual too. Spray the perfume in the air and go under it and pretend it's raining perfume is what I like to do most before my outing and it gives me a good vibes to start my day with. 

If there's a question on how to make someone keep falling in love with you...

Avon Femme Exclusive

I guess the answer is: make them fall in love and addicted with your scent first.

Product Review: Althea Petal Velvet Powder

Makeup routine has been a big part of my life since many years ago, if I'm not feeling particularly lazy on that day, I would definitely wear makeup if there's any activities that involves going out from my house main door and meet people. I like to my appearance be beautiful ones and leaves strong impression on others whenever I go to events, hence my makeup always changes style from time to time, and needless to say, the brands that I've tried are countless (that some don't even exist anymore!).

I used to think "Loose powder are obviously a waste of money!" Because of all the brands I've used, none of them gave me the oil control or less cakey looks. Some loose powder is real "loose" and have no whatsoever function over my combination oily skin. Hence I've ditched loose powder from my makeup essentials for a very long time, until I try...

Althea's very first product: Althea Petal Velvet Power 

( http://my.althea.kr/petal-velvet-powder )

Comes in a handy size, this pastel pink cutie packaging translucent powder is powerful than I thought. Can you imagine your skin transformed into velvety texture just like texture of flower petals? Althea Petal Velvet Powder actually does that! It sets my makeup that is silky soft to touch and smooth to look at. Its oil control function keeps my makeup without melting even on a hot sunny day and I don't "glow" in the end of the day. 

Fluffy puff that comes along with!

Made with pure natural ingredients, its micro-fine particles smoothen my pores appearance and reveal a flawless, smooth complexion that I've always wanted. I guess most of the oily combination skin type girl have the same issue like mine: translucent powder with glossy/shiny particles for dewy skin effect will make my skin look like it's dripping oil in the end of the day. Hence after I wear Althea's Petal Velvet Powder a few times, I'm madly in love with it. 

I purposely created a flower petal makeup look when I'm trying this translucent powder:

or watch it on youtube ( https://youtu.be/QmH65bddjDs )

I really like the whole looks as it's not a feminine flowery kind of makeup
Gives off a more cool looking vibes that I usually does

Main Ingredients that are used in creating Althea Petal Velvet Powder are:

• Althea: 

full of natural antioxidant, act as barrier to prevent skin dehydration by increasing moisture level.

• Polyphenols:

Protect skins from sun exposure and ultraviolet radiation.

• Saponarin:

repair damaged skin cells, restore elasticity to premature skin ageing.

Most of all, guess the price of this awesome Korea-made translucent powder.... It's only RM16! Although it is the smallest translucent powder I've ever used but it is the most usefulness too. I can use this powder to set any type of makeup looks without having to worry in the end of the day my face will look super oily plus it gives off the perfect silky finish to my skin I don't really need to soften my skin in photoshop. 

From the cheapest K-Beauty shopping site to awesome product, thank you Althea for this wonderful flower power experience! I can't wait for your next product!
