One of the greatest things about beauty products is they allow you to explore your personality. But have you ever thought about how your mood is manifested through your beauty choices? Chances are you might not have noticed on days that you’re feeling a little more flirty than normal, you may reach for pinkier shades of lipstick. Or on days you’re feeling more energetic, you reach for shimmery lip glosses vs matte sultry lipsticks. Makeup is a no brainer! But what about the way you smell?
No makeup look is complete without thinking of ALL the angles. That includes the lasting olfactory memory of your signature perfume. Let’s talk about some fun “color mood” looks you can explore and how you can pair it up with a Credo clean fragrance that will take your “color mood” to the next level. Check out the mood fragrances that we have picked out below to inspire your most fitting color mood!
My Mood is… Sultry
We’re starting this blog off right and talking all things SULTRY. We’re talking moody, Jessica Rabbit vibes. The eyes are adorned in shimmery shades of metallic plum. The lips are a soft shade of rose petal but defined with a pencil to pucker up your pout! Your blush is a soft peach with a slight hint of gold.You. Are. A. Vamp!
The only thing left is to include a dash of a warm, sensual perfume. When we think sultry we think delectable fragrance notes of sandalwood, vanilla and amber. Check out these fragrances and see which one says to you “come hither you minx!”Maison Louis Marie Bois de Balincourt Eau de Parfum

Shimmery shades of neutral cream colored eyeshadow will make your eyes sparkle! Luscious lips in shades of sweet pink are the ultimate flirt!Let your mood fragrance do the flirting before they ever even see your makeup!

The birds are singing, the sun is shining. Everything is going your way today! While you’re on this happy color mood high, try exploring new looks that you’ve always wanted to try.
