Why Do We Spray More Perfume On Ourselves When We Are Drunk?

was looking further up on the postings, and saw the wikipedia entry on mascara. Read it and quite amazed as to what goes into coloured mascara = egg white!! especially as i love coloured mascara. Its very difficult to get, but I have had violet or green from Avon and rimmel did do a lovely blue.

Oh my! I never knew that about how Twiggy wore her mascara but I have seen photos of her in her heyday, it's no wonder you all wanted to "be her" so to speak. She looks amazing, even now but has toned down her mascara somewhat, which I suppose is just as well seeing as she is 60 or something! I know what you mean about the pink blusher. There were conflicting reports on how it should be applied and I've looked like a clown on a number of occasions..but I blended in with the others so no-one cared! I was lucky after Christmas because I managed to buy some YSL mascara that's a greyish-blue colour. No doubt it was reduced because it wasn't black but I absolutely love it because it's so different and actually matches another YSL sale product of a slate blue eye shadow that's applied with a brush. That's amazing too and I know both will last ages. I bought both on the Cheap Smells site in case you are interested. I've lost count of the bargains I've had off that site and they are genuine products too, not copies. Yes, I have read about the egg white. It's probably in the YSL mascara I've got. Trouble is, manufacturers are rather secretive about their ingredients which doesn't help us when choosing their products.

Haha! I know what you mean. Mum's neighbour Phil (especially when he was younger) used to go out at night to the pub and he often wreaked of - well, I don't know what it was but if he'd used it sparingly it'd be nice. But, no, he had to overdo it. And that was BEFORE he had a drink! Now, whenever my Dad wears Boss aftershave it smells stunning on him for the simple reason that he doesn't overdo it.

There are some perfumes that give me migraines..I would say "Eden" by Cacharel and "Miracle" by Lancome are two of the worsed. Yes, I do think women lose their sense of smell once very drunk. A woman started spraying some really cheap stuff around the ladies one time and it ended up virtually in my face. She was a menace, old enough to know better but she wasn't lol. I never went on the dance floor because she was pushing everyone around on it. They all laughed at her "because she's like that all the time, we're used to it!" What an awful woman she was...a friend of the mother-in-law's too. Figures!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mascara#Composition Please scroll down the article to where it says "Composition" then you will find out what nasties are in most mascaras. Granted, there aren't any crushed beetles in there (sorry about that, a red dye taken from the cochniceal beetle is used to colour lipsticks) but it certainly isn't a wholly natural product.

What about pee found in many make-ups and lotions? Well...sorta. Urea is an ingredient in many of these products and urine contains urea. But here, see for yourself -- http://thebeautybrains.com/2006/11/12/should-you-worry-about-pee-in-your-make-up/

Oh dear! I've learned to keep my perfume at home and just spray it once before I go out. I did this yesterday and it lasted ALL DAY! Have you ever missed your mouth with your lippy (lipstick) whilst drunk/ I have although it was a long time ago. I got stared at but I didn't care at that point lol.
