NEW LAUNCH ➡️ FRAGRANCE ➡️ YSL La Nuit De L’Homme – Eau Électrique

So as long as I can remember or since moving to Toronto really I’ve been wearing during the day YSL L’HOMME EAU DE TOILETTE and at night YSL LA NUIT DE L’HOMME EAU DE TOILETTE – they are transition smells meaning they work together – as you change from your work clothes or whatever you can still smell some of the YSL L’HOMME so when you’re ready to go out for dinner, a date or fun night with your friends you spray on YSL LA NUIT DE L’HOMME and it works in together with older notes while giving you the sexy smell you’d want. 

These two (2) fragrances which go from day to night are amazing and I do not think I know one man who wouldn’t like the YSL HOMME line. Here is just a little information about the two of the fragrances and a little more into the notes of them. 

YSL L’HOMME EAU DE TOILETTE ➡️ a perfect balance between unrefined and precious, ultra-masculine and elegance, off-the-shelf and luxury. In a sparkling opening, Bergamot and a zest of Cedar wood brings luminosity to the fragrance, sustained with Chinese Ginger. The middle floral and spicy notes contrast with this first note of freshness: the sophisticated and modern masculinity of Violet leaves and Basil flowers, the bite and resonance of White Pepper. Base notes of Sandalwood, Virginia Cedar wood and Haitian Vetiver highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance.

YSL LA NUIT DE L’HOMME EAU DE TOILETTE ➡️ a story of seduction, intensity and bold sensuality. A darkly handsome man whose irresistible charm and seduction sweep away everything in their path. A fresh oriental fragrance, made of tensions and olfactory clashes. A structure of contrasting forces. A signature rich in differences and dualities. A seduction that lies half-way between restraint and abandon. A fresh Oriental fragrance that rocks the senses: the freshness of Cardamom and the sophistication of Cedar meet the intense sensuality of Coumarin.

Be at the utmost of seduction with this new electrifying eau de toilette for men. Fresh, intense and sensual, this fragrance will be your best weapon throughout the night.

YSL LA NUIT DE L’HOMME EAU ÉLECTRIQUE ➡️ an uninhibited and intoxicating fragrance. An oriental fougère that forms the bridge between freshness  and sensuality. It opens with a burst of ripe apple accord. Curving into the warm heartbeat of geranium; the senses are heightened. Slowly evolving, revealing itself, sensual – aphrodisiac – vanilla rises upward, striking through like an electrical current. A play of contrasts: the first spritz invigorates the senses, while the trail leaves a statement of corporeal sensuality. An olfactive electric shock as intense as the deep blue of its juice.

It comes it sixty (60ML) or one hundred (100ML) which is pretty good for a launch most times a fragrance launches you won’t get anything but one hundred (100ML). 

LA NUIT DE L’HOMME EAU ÉLECTRIQUE  is described as a “wild” fragrance of a “seducer” who “makes the night his territory” and “nobody can resist his charm, at the edge of elegance and freedom.” The fragrance is conceived as a tension between the freshness of a modern fougere composition and a sensual trace of vanilla. 

SIDE NOTE ➡️ three (3) noses worked on the composition:

• Juliette Karagueuzoglou, 

• Dominique Ropion  

• Anne Flipo

Citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin combined with green apple form a fresh start. The classic fougere accord made of lavender, geranium and tonka bean, is modernized by the freshness of the opening, as well as orange blossom absolute and aromatic sage in the heart. Woody notes of cedar, cashmere, vetiver and patchouli, and a dose of quality vanilla end at the base.

Which makes it a very sexy frangrance and a good add to the L’HOMME line by YSL – I really loved opening it up – I loved the packaging of the bottles for all of L’HOMME collection.

Hey guys. 

So this is a video that I just filmed and I’ll post early next week it’s in part of something with L’Oréal but I just wanted to quickly show you how I apply makeup to a man a show you how I apply makeup to myself always on the daily. Theres a massive difference betweeen makeup and not makeup, who you will see is my friend who was actually sick at the time so I begged because he looked like well, crap. 

It doesn’t look like I’d use a lot for this but it’s a fair share of makeup from, TARTE. NARS. GIVENCHY. MARC JACOBS BEAUTY. MUFE. 

No editing. No lighting. In fact I cover darkness and blemishes in LOW LIGHT for men because I can see them better. I know I’ve gotten into to fights with artists for years telling me to turn on the light. 

Well, the lights are always on. 

Left. Makeup.                          Right. The flu.

LIFE 101 ➡️ WHAT I’M DOING AND WHO I’D LIKE TO THANK. 🙏🏻

So if you’ve been with my from the get go then thank you very very very much, you’ve seen me come unglued, seen me drunk, the highest high to the lowest low, watched me fuck, and watch me ride or die with those who come into my life. You can try to hate it but baby I laced it 😉 the reason I say thank you is because I just celebrated my two years on WordPress.com I guess when I messaged the owner when I though hm I should blog again and took perfectillussion.wordpress then I was like this is dumb whoever took my site ID is not doing anything life I would do and I asked WordPress if I can show you on perfectillussion how badly I want my site ID back – can I have it back? Sadly it didn’t work that was and I just had to bribe Kimberly (hi) who took over my site ID. Soo happy two years WordPress.

My followers, my friends, my family – did you know what started makeupandthecity? A break up. My first post which you cannot find anymore but I can (smiles) was about SMASHBOX 24h CC CONCEALER (discontinued unless you’re me) I remember getting ready when he was leaving – so that’s me two years ago? 

Then came being noticed very quickly I think it was about a month before my first PR company reached out to me.. BOLD PR in NEW YORK CITY and of course when you’re on one mailing list BOOM thousands of dollars of products are send to you from companies hoping that you’ll take a chance and review their products – I went through so many chances right in front of all your eyes. My writing went from two (2) to ten (10) the thing about posting for the entire world to see if some things shouldn’t be said. I was threatened, sued, almost killed – through all that something happen to me, it just made me was to be there for anyone and everyone that I could – and i began to listen to your stories and feel your pain. 

So yep I was making money at that time off of what I was doing but what the advertisement comes is when it’s a steady weekly income and I’m talking 4K weekly. Sure you have no control over what they want to post or what they give you permission to post im going to use TOOFACED cosmetics to show you kinda what the advertisement website looks like before I sit down to blog if it isn’t already planned I have to check my endorsement websites and emails. 

So this is what an endorsement page set up ONLY for social influencers with 1 million subscribers or more looks like (I hope I don’t get in trouble for showing this) 

Here I’ll find a lot of the photos that you see, any promo, and new launches and money I’ve made and what my month will look like from press samples and ‘brand gifts’ such as HDR camera – coach bags – Apple Watch so much crap really. 

SO – along with this website that and become a brand and a business that I am now going to be funding Max Emersons new project with M•A•C cosmetics – when I can say more I totally will! 

I remember hearing the song Hollow Moon and there is a verse of the song where it says ‘ motherfucker I’ll be back from the dead soon ‘ and I can’t help but think I was meant to hear that part of the song right before walking into my interview with BELL CANADA for just PUBLIC RELATIONS naturally I did get the job very soon after working I also took on Media communications and Marketing which I love. I love the company and I thrived there marking partnerships and friends that will have my back.  

Now my 9-5 job is with ENTERTAINMENT ONE in Publicity & Promotions which I love love love in New York City. I played by the rules, I was honest with myself and honest with people around me – and I got myself far by myself pretty much. As of now I’m still doing some things for Bell until I’m fully trained for a Senior position with EOne and EOne Music. 

The best part of all of this is I am in love with the most amazing and the most kind and so fucking sexy man – ups and downs happen of course but you can feel who is going to be there for you – this man is the reason I took an interest in New York. Don’t hold back. Don’t hold grudges. Go all in. We’ve probably all been hurt before, and I’m not saying we should ignore those situations. But. Don’t let past hurts prevent you from making new relationships or falling in love. This almost happened to me. I was hurt and felt justified in my unwillingness to forgive even though my circumstances had changed. And this attitude nearly prevented me from meeting my future husband. Don’t be afraid to love deeply. It can be scary to depend on anyone. Be open. Be brave. 

I have thought that I was in love before but I have no clue what real love was until this man. He made me question things that I never thought I’d question. He is all I want and all I’ve ever wanted. 

He’s not perfect but no one is perfect but I will say that he is so close to being perfect. I love you Dan. I love you without reasoning. I will always fight for you and you will always be mine. 

Check back guys! 

COMMENT OF THE WEEK | BE BOLD

” Honestly, with the amount of stuff we have coming at us every day, the search for the best beauty products can be exhausting. And when you do finally find a great product, figuring out the most effective way to use it can be just as daunting. Let’s be real, we need help. Enter beauty bloggers like you, I come to makeupandthecity everyday and I love your sense of humanity and humour ”

PR UNBOXING ➡️ URBAN DECAY | rehab skin care

“You can’t get enough of our long-lasting products, but how the hell do you take them off..?”

So I’m quite sure what I think when a clear cosmetic comoany tries on the skin care market – I know you’re thinking there is TARTE who came out with skin care but if you look at the company plan it always there – unlike Urban Decay. All of the prestige brands also are out from this because most of them started with skin “fundamentalism” care and moved onto makeup. 

Now now now – does it work? Calm down! Can I at least introduce the line up and what they claim to do! I will say I have tried one of the products VERY similar to someone TARTE has out and I have to say that they are pretty much almost the same but, will get there.. at the end of the product descriptions and my opinions I’m going to ask the question “DOES IT WORK?” and use it tonight so take a look back tomorrow. 

MELTDOWN MAKEUP REMOVER –DISSOLVING SPRAY 

Formulated to easily remove even the most stubborn waterproof makeup (yes, even Vice Liquid Lipstick and 24/7 Pencils!), this dissolving spray is as powerful as it is gentle. Nonirritating, nourishing ingredients leave skin clean, refreshed and without a trace of makeup. Meltdown hydrates, yet never leaves a greasy residue.

Meltdown Makeup Remover Dissolving Spray mists on weightlessly and starts working on contact to instantly dissolve our long-lasting products in one swipe—no rubbing or tugging on delicate skin. Wait until you see how well this spray works; it easily takes everything off, including waterproof mascara. Our super-effective, anhydrous, filler-free formula contains only three ingredients, including conditioning vitamin E.

DOES IT WORK? I will add I have had some issues with the spray and the cap of this profuct right from the get go which isn’t good, instead of a full face mist it sprays very very chunky. But overall this products claims and true and yes it does work to dissolve makeup and with one damp towel whip, it takes off all your makeup. 

MELTDOWN MAKEUP REMOVER – lip oil stick 

Formulated to easily remove even the most stubborn waterproof makeup (yes, even Vice Liquid Lipstick and 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil!), this lip oil stick is as powerful as it is gentle. Nonirritating, nourishing ingredients leave lips clean, refreshed and without a trace of makeup. Meltdown hydrates, yet never leaves a greasy residue. Our oil-based formula helps break down waterproof lipstick easily. And because we used a gelled oil system, the feel is silky, not oily. Our conditioning, wax-free formula contains vitamin E and ceramides to replenish lips. Lip Oil Stick is so moisturizing you can even use it as a balm.  

DOES IT WORK? Nope. Not at all. If you enjoy the put on take off, repeat x 20. There is products out there that will take off your lips even the hardest to take off products in one swipe. 

REHAB MAKEUP PREP

Rehab Makeup Prep Lip Love is a super-luxe, moisturizing balm that hydrates and soothes dry lips, so they’re soft, smooth and practically irresistible.
Replenish overworked lips and get them ready for action again. Our whipped, oil-based formula really hugs lips to seal in moisture, leaving them dangerously kissable. And Lip Love has a bouncy, smooth, comfortable texture that feels great on your lips.
In a clinical study, immediately after use:
• 96% of participants said that the condition of their lips had improved.

• 98% said that Lip Love moisturized their lips and made them feel smoother.

• 100% said their lips felt softer.

DOES IT WORK? As a expensive Chapstick he’ll yeah, plus the package edgy so I wouldn’t mind keeping in it my pocket. 

REHAB MAKEUP PREP – pretty gritty skin polish

Dull, dry skin interfering with your makeup application? Smooth and brighten your complexion with Rehab Makeup Prep Pretty Gritty Skin Polish. Gentle enough for everyday use (yet crazy effective!), this skin-polishing powder exfoliates as it cleanses. Refine your complexion and get prepped, smoothed and ready for the perfect application.

DOES IT WORK? Yes it does – but come on it’s an exfoliating product of course it works, for everyday use? No no no you will end up with small bumps that don’t pop and with the right overnight treatment should be gone by morning. 

PRO TIP ➡️ Fine ground sugar and fresh squeezed lemon juice works as one of the best exfoliaters I’ve ever used. The acid in the lemon helps to prop the skin to reproduce new skin cells while the sugar lightly takes away the old dead skin cells. 

MELTDOWN MAKEUP REMOVER – cleansing stick 

(LOVE these types of products PERFECT for travel so so so happy more companies are coming out with different versions check out my post on TARTE) 

Formulated to easily remove even the most stubborn waterproof makeup (yes, even Vice Liquid Lipstick and 24/7 Pencils!), Cleansing Oil Stick is as powerful as it is gentle. Nonirritating, nourishing ingredients leave skin clean, refreshed and without a trace of makeup. Meltdown hydrates, yet never leaves a greasy residue.

This three-phase, oil-based remover transforms from a balm to liquid oil to microfoam, gently dissolving even the most stubborn makeup. The stick format is portable and travel-friendly—no leaks, no risk of TSA confiscation. We laced the luxurious oil formula with turmeric root extract, sunflower seed oil and vitamin E to leave skin feeling soft, clean and makeup-free. (And Cleansing Oil Stick smells as great as it works!)
PRO TIP ➡️ Apply directly on dry skin and massage gently until product melts into a liquid form. Splash with water, massage a little more to lather, then rinse off. While this product is safe for use around the eyes, everybody’s skin is different. If irritation occurs, avoid the eye area.

DOES IT WORK? yes, it works quite good but the fragrance is a little bit to much for me. I might keep it in a travel bag. 

REHAB MAKEUP PREP – Pore Refining Peel 

Problem pores? We’ve got the solution. Rehab Makeup Prep Pore Refining Peel is like a vacuum for your pores. This easy-to-use, peel-off mask immediately draws out impurities—leaving pores visibly cleaner, more refined and smaller-looking. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, our allergy-tested Pore Refining Peel works on all complexion types. And we laced this formula with a blend of nine skin-nourishing plant extracts, including sugarcane extract, Irish moss, common St. John’s wort, burdock root extract, peppermint extract and lemon balm.

DOES IT WORK? Omg yes, yes it does I’m so so so excited about this product – it uses guess guess LEMON JUICE imagine that. Scroll up to my pro tip. 

And lastly and most sceptical

REHAB MAKEUP PREP – Hot Springs Hydrating Gel 

Looking for a product that will infuse your skin with intense moisture without feeling greasy? Hydrate, balance and energize your complexion post-cleansing with Rehab Makeup Prep Hot Springs Hydrating Gel.

Made for prepping skin for makeup, this benefit-packed gel has an ultra-lightweight, watery feel. Unlike a traditional moisturizer that creates a slippery surface for makeup, Hot Springs Hydrating Gel absorbs quickly to leave skin looking plump and healthy. Water from hot springs is rich in skin-nourishing minerals. The encapsulated water in the gel (sourced from a 1,000-year-old hot spring in Japan) bursts on contact, creating a cooling effect. Because the water in this formula is also hypotonic (meaning a pure form of water), it penetrates the skin’s barrier well and becomes absorbed more easily. The result? Instant hydration that leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, never greasy. And Hot Springs Hydrating Gel is low alkaline. Perfect for everyday use, the light gel formula leaves skin feeling soft (not oily!), significantly more hydrated and ready for the perfect foundation application. EVERY skin type needs moisture to even out the surface texture—including oily skin. Hydration plumps and smoothes skin so makeup goes on better and more evenly. And using Hot Springs Hydrating Gel before you apply takes care of dry spots that can make makeup look flaky on the skin.

DOES IT WORK? Yes and no – I mean the claim to it are a little crazy I went to sleep at 11pm and it’s 4:07am while I’m blogging this and I do not see any changes in my skin. Sadly. 

Urban Decay needs to step it up with a lot of the launches coming out in 2017 or the will suffer a little. I never really loved UD I mean unless it’s the ALL NIGHTER setting spray which i use everyday.

LIFE 101 – escorting, background checks, public relations and passion baby.

Lets go ➡️
Where to start with this one. Let’s start with my half a year in the porn and escorting industry, I mean no one can be shocked here. It all started with an audition for COCKYBOYS it started out with a FaceTime call from Toronto to New York, where I had to convince one of the owners my jaw line and dick was mine from there came flying me too Vancouver – which going forward you all should know that most porn companies want you to be you and you to take care of yourself so you they do pay for everything, flight(there – back), hotel(three days), spending money, and performance – so when you get there you go to the hotel and they book your room for three days and when you get to your room there is 1. Money 2. A note 3. Viagara 4. PURE FOR MEN (if you’re on the bottom) 5. Information about your scene partner and his room. So the first night is for you and the person you’ll be working with to go out and become comfortable around each other – naturally I was paired with an exclusive COCKYBOY. The second day is to film, as mentioned there is Viagara because it’s very stop and go for a good 10 hours, you are very much a part of it, you get to watch it back and if you don’t like what you see you can ‘go again‘ thankfully me and my scene partner worked very well together and there was a huge massive connection, once you’re done you go shower, get ready how YOU want too and take the other pill to make your redirect the flow of blood away from your cock so you can fit into your Levi’s then you go out, this time it’s a picked bar and it’s more about showing the gay men who you are and make them want what they cannot have which makes them go to the COCKYBOYS site and get a subscription and then on your third day you just relax, go out and shop, do you and whatever you want. The amount of money that you can make from doing this is mind blowing for 10 hours of having amazing sex? 10 hours gets you about 1.2 hours worth of footage or 6 broken up scenes then you just go home, and wait for you to be connected and paired with different models and producers ➡️

FILMING ON SET

You’re then linked into the a third party escorting service, which protected you and there were limits to what could be done sexually but the man were paying for an expensive experience. $600.00 where you get $500.00 of it and $100.00 goes back to the business.

They waste no time getting you back on a plane and back to work, certain looks like attractive, slim but toned, good skin, big dick means you’d be more what the company would be looking for and boy was I. I was filming and on set probably three to four times a month and that is a considerable amount. Now came time to sign a contact and you are given an ‘out‘ if you will, that you can make anything you want and you can make it anything you want – mine was if I ever fell in love and the man(or woman) didn’t approve of what I was doing. SO I caught the attention of a local studio in Toronto MEN.COM and I went to the meeting that they set up not knowing that COCKYBOYS likes to keep their men exclusively to the studio, MEN.COM was just offering a lot more money per film then COCKYBOYS was to be honest it wasn’t by that much. Fast forward a couple month and I met someone who I fell in love with and it was mutual, he said that he didn’t really like that fact that I was having sex with other men even though it was just like work pretty much, feelings can develop on set that’s for sure and COCKYBOYS actually do not stand in the way if the feelings are mutual – anyways, me and my partner who quickly became my fiancée would send videos to Adrian who is one of the owners of COCKYBOY studios, like of my dude sucking dick and other things and Adrian wanted my dude and I to film a scene together, and my dude was so into it and wanted to do it but he felt he wanted to have a ‘better body’ even though he was perfect.

It would turn out that I would choose him over my job, and I couldn’t be happier that I did at the time. 

Are we still together? No. We are still very good friends and I love him with all of my heart still. 

MATCHING “my immortal beloved” TATTOOS

Moving on to what I do now, I applied for a position in PUBLIC RELATIONS for BELL CANADA and once you get through the recruiting and interviews and they know they are going to hire you they make sure that you are not a criminal or have a criminal record really anything because you work with people and very personal information and sensitive information about the company when I found out about the background check I was like oh man, they are going to see porn star and escort AND it did come up and I was asked about it, but I think because of my skills, and connections in the industry they overlooked it – I was just asked to please not talk about it, and I can understand why, your heading on the biggest companies in the world and looking over PR for CANADA, but I was in no way ashamed of what I did, I actually really liked it a lot.  (Other then that one time a woman walked right up to me and slapped me across the face in the eaton centre nonetheless – that’s another story) so I am now one of three who handle PUBLIC RELATIONS for BELL CANADA and I absolutely love it. Such an amazing company to be working with and I can still do other things I love on the side I am limited to what I can or can’t say.

So I’m just like anyone else I’m growing up and making mistakes and time still pushes me forward, I’ve had some amazing experiences, and some heartbreaks along the way but I’m happy and at the end of the day isn’t that anyone of us want? It to just be happy. It’s amazing what we are capable of if we just apply ourselves and if your passionate about something and have a fire in your eyes, you’re not going to fall. Just remember it’s ok to make mistakes and fall because you can learn from your mistakes and as long as you dust yourself off and stand back up, you will be okay.

All I can say is learn to love your flaws because more then likely you are not that flawed.
