I will wear something that smells like food, but florals almost never work for me. They give me headaches, where food scents don't.
I have the opposite issue. Food scents make me ill, but florals are usually safe, if they're not too sweet.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to wear Smashbox Primer. Is primer a category in and of itself? I liked what that did for making my skin look smooth. Don't remember why I stopped.

Jilli, do you ever wear anything floral?
I have been known to wear chocolate scents that have a floral note to them. And one of my One True BPALs (Pink Moon 2005) is peony-based. But mostly, florals are Not My Thing.

I am not a floral girl. I'm sure my favored perfumes (Shalimar and Allure) have floral notes in them, but those are my dressing up perfumes, and they both have strong vanilla bases; Shalimar has a strong amber base, and Allure has more citrus notes than floral.
I wear a vanilla I got at Anthropologie, or B&BW's Lemon, wither alone or layered, for everyday, but I cannot abide floral scents. Mom's Joy gives me a headache. Tuberose is...I am not fond.

I would love to wear the primer again. But I can't afford it right now so I don't....
Actually, I want to try Sephora's dry shampoo too.

Yep, primer is a pre-foundation step. It smooths and fills of the little lines and pores to make makeup go on more smoothly, and stay on longer.
Smackbox (heh, funny typo) is my fave, but I have also like Nars. Smashbox has tinted, oil-free and treatment primers, too though. LOVE.

Huh, so not peony like I thought. But I layer it with a chocolate scent.

Tresemme has a new dry shampoo out that is FIVE BUCKS and works great. And it's in drugstores.

Yes, primer is it's own step. MAC Prep & Prime SPF 50 is still the best stuff I've found.

I haven't tried the MAC primer, Jilli, but I adore the Strobe Cream. And a tube lasts me....er, working on 4 years? 5? It's a big tube, and you only have to use a little.
A wee touch dabbed on inner corners of eyes and browbones helps me look not dead when I have had crap sleep. And I use it on my decolletage when going out.
