How To Know If Your Designer's Perfume is Genuine or Fake

These days imitation perfumes have exactly the same designer’s name,almost identical labels, boxes,bottles and very similar scents!So how would you tell that the designer’s perfume that you’re about to purchase is genuine? It’s really not that easy since counterfeiters have become masters of their crime with the aid of modern digital imaging and printing techniques.They are capable of pr...oducing almost identical replicas of all the major leading perfume brands on the market today.As a consumer you may never really know,until you experience the actual fragrance which may be close to but not exactly as it should.You'll discover that the perfume does NOT last as long,perhaps as little as one hour instead of half a day or longer as is the case with original designer perfume.


Things you should know if the perfume your are going to purchase is genuine or fake

1. Fragrance Consistency should be transparent and clear and color should be consistent. The Fragrance should not be overly oily.

2. Ensure that the seller guarantees the fragrance is 100% original and has return policy.

3. Fragrance smell should not be bitter or sour and should smell fresh.

4. On Ebay, check if the seller is Paypal verified. Sellers of counterfeit products are afraid to disclose their contact information to Paypal. If the seller is Paypal verified paypal has completed the necessary steps to ensure that the seller provided the right address.

5. The perfume that you are going to purchase should not have any skin reactions It should not make your skin itchy or create rashes.

6. Be suspicious about bargains.If a fragrance or cosmetic is too cheap, it may be a fake or old.

7. Check the box.The color should be identical and the cardboard good quality.

8. Buy from a reputable seller that has been in business for some time and has an ABN number.

9. Check the printing.It should have correct information, including spelling, logo and print style.

10. The color should match the color of sample bottles in department stores or boutiques.Color quality doesn't always show up well in photos,so ask the seller to photograph all the bottles of that kind of perfume in that concentration with a white background.If there is relative variation, start getting suspicious.
Fakes often get the color slightly too dark or too light and are inconsistent.

11. Fake bottles are often badly made.There should be no air bubbles in the glass and the moulding marks should be even.Fake perfume bottles are generally poor quality compared to the genuine bottles.

12. Bottle labels should be positioned correctly and contain correct spelling,print style,logo and trademark.

13. Fakes print the information onto the glass with a paint-like ink.If you can scrape the ink off with a fingernail, it is likely to be faked.

14. On Ebay,check the seller’s feedback,if the seller has bad feedback this could mean problems with your purchase.

15. Look for a bubble in the spray tube.The bubble indicates that it has never been sprayed. Some sellers will take a large bottle of perfume and pour it into smaller bottles this is called decanting.You can often distinguish decanted perfume-the spray tube does not have air bubbles inside.

Considering all these tips would help you know if your designer's perfume is genuine or fake

Rolling Stone's Worst '90s Song Entries

When people look back on a decade's music they tend to focus on the good stuff - but the people who lived through the time period know better. While the 1990s certainly had amazing music, not everything on the radio was Nirvana or Radiohead. Michael Bolton, Kenny G. and Vanilla Ice sold enough records to fill 500 landfills - which is where most of those records now reside.

Last week, Rolling Stone asked readers to vote for the worst song of the 1990s. And topping the list is Aqua's "Barbie Girl."

"Barbie Girl" - written by the Danish dance-pop group Aqua - is an incredibly polarizing song. Many people were offended by the portrayal of a woman as a man's plastic doll, begging him to "undress me everywhere." Others loved the over-the-top cartoonish video and bizarre sound of the song.

Mattel (the makers of Barbie) were less than pleased that their product was being presented in such an overtly sexual way and filed a lawsuit. The courts ruled that the song was a parody and thus permissible, but Mattel took it all the way to the Supreme Court. The company had a change of heart in 2009, when they changed the lyrics and used the song in an ad campaign.

1. Aqua, "Barbie Girl"

2. Los Del Rio, "Macarena"

3. Billy Ray Cyrus, "Achy Breaky Heart"

4. Vanilla Ice, "Ice Ice Baby"

5. Chumbawamba, "Tubthumping"

6. Hanson, "MMMBop"

7. Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On"

8. Baha Men, "Who Let The Dogs Out?"

9. Right Said Fred, "I'm Too Sexy"

10. 4 Non Blondes, "What's Up?"

Ultra Watches

The Top Ultra Luxury Watches  

A recent survey has identified which wrist watches are considered to be the best by affluent consumers
A good wristwatch does more than tell time. Of course, many expensive watches can display the phases of the moon, the ...time of year, the precise second that just slipped away, and can even remind the wearer of an appointment. But the great ones complement your life, accessorize your wardrobe, becomes an heirloom to pass along to future generations and, as James Bond has taught us, in a tight spot become a very handy knuckleduster.  

The thought of knocking out someone's teeth with $50,000 worth of watch wrapped around your fist might seem a bit extravagant. Watches in this price category are also works of art. They are exquisite mechanisms created by talented craftsmen who do the seemingly impossible with gold, diamonds, springs, gears, and tiny tools. If you ever wondered why the best Swiss watches cost so much, just imagine a microchip, and then imagine it was made by hand, and you begin to comprehend the layers of delicacy, skill, and precision we're talking about.  

That is why at the top of the watch chain, so to speak, the price of a Swiss-made Patek Philippe or Breguet can equal and quickly surpass most Americans' annual salary. For those people fortunate enough to be able to afford one, or more, of these high-end timepieces, the decision on which one to buy is rarely just about how well it can tell time.  

For many connoisseurs, what makes a watch desirable is the number of complications it can pack within its slender case. (Complications are mechanical functions of the watch other than the hours, minutes, and seconds.) The more complications, the more valuable the watch. In December, 1999, Sotheby's sold a watch with 24 complications for $11 million. The watch that holds the record for the most complications is a pocket watch Patek Philippe created in honor of their 150th anniversary in 1989. It has 33 complications including the date of Easter and a celestial chart with 2,800 stars.  

Other watch fanciers are less enthusiastic about the complications than they are about the bling. These customers want diamonds on their diamonds and often favor larger watches that can better display them.
For both first-timers entering the world of high-end watches or chronophiles who have been collecting for years, one of the best ways to buy is to go with a well-known and trusted brand. But the best-known luxury watch brands are not always the most sought-after by collectors, nor do they demand the highest prices.
In a recent survey of the top 17 ultra luxury watchmakers by the Luxury Institute, a Manhattan-based research group that tracks the wealthiest consumers in the U.S. and the companies that cater to them, Rolex and Cartier were the two best-known brands. But in terms of brand status and overall quality, the respondents to the survey, each of whom has a minimum net worth of $5 million

5 Rules On How To Properly Use Cologne

There are some guys that do not get what to do with cologne.They see the AXE commercials and think that they can just bathe in the stuff;as if the cologne makes sweat and funk magically disappear!Ever see a guy splash on a few different scents?Ever get ...close to him afterwards — I think not! Neither do any women!Some guys are not that bright and need a little help.For your friends that deal with your funk,for your non-existent sex life,for the sake of innocent people who must be within smelling distance;heed these rules on how to use cologne. Your friends will thank you,your dog will thank you,and your favorite organ will thank you too.


No funk allowed!
1. The Easy does it and You’ll Do Her Easy Rule:Cologne is not meant for bathing; heck,even the cheap stuff costs too much to do that.Dab a little in a few key areas and your scent will be enticing instead of overpowering.People should have to get close to smell your cologne — after all,isn’t that where we want them to be?

2. It’s the Heart that Counts Rule: Apply a dab of your cologne wherever you can feel a beat.So hit the wrists,sides of your neck, and heart.The throb will actually add a little something to your scent.

It can happen...
3. The Crowded Club Rule: Dab a little cologne on the back of your neck if you are going to a club or a bar.During the night you will undoubtedly be squeezing your way through the crowds of people.You’ll have an instant conversation starter when you pass her by and she catches your scent

We have daddy issues, spank us.
4. The Daddy Dearest Rule: Some chicks may consider this cheating,but you can just call it attention to detail. If she has a really strong relationship with her Dad then find out what he wears and buy it.When she smells it on you she will subconsciously draw the same sense of security from you that she gets from her dear ole’ Dad.The more secure she feels with you, the more likely it will be that she will open up (and we do not mean through conversation).

5. The Attention to Detail Rule: Some idiots actually wear different colognes;talk about an accident waiting to happen!However,it is also possible to inadvertently wear contrasting scents too.Now-a-days your soap,shampoo, shaving cream,and just about anything else you may use to groom has its own scent.You don’t have to use all Old Spice products,but be careful that you do not accidentally create chick repellent.

Jay z's Got His Swagger Back!!

The first Sinlge from the Collaborative album: "Watch The Throne" by Jay Z and Kanye West named "Otis" is out.

It's a Sample from a classic by Otis Redding and The Spartans are in love with this track. Jay Z is back y'all... That flow that we saw in the black album is back!!

We hope that the same energy and word play will translate throughout the rest of the album but for now, let's enjoy the track. Notice that it has no hook and the flawless switch up back and forth between Jay Z and Kanye West is just too great for us not to give this song a thumbs up!!!

Kenyans For Kenya

Dear Kenyan,

Every minute, someone is starving, losing hope and at worst, dying.
it doesn’t have to be that way ; You can help.
For as little as Ksh. 10 you can save a hungry Kenyan child from death and give his/her mother the strength to feed him for one more day Go to MPESA Pay Bill Option  Enter the Number 111111,Press ok, then Enter Account No 111111,

Drizzy Drake At His Finest

That all-purpose, offensive, in your face type of flow. That's what Drake brings to this song. Just focus on the word play and how the lyrics come together and make you and picture what he's talking about... Can you relate? Probably, probably not... I'll leave that up to you guys to decide. For now, Enjoy!!

Welcome to the Disco.....Terereren!!!!

Of birds in hand, pockets and kitchens.... To love songs with bouncy kicks like 'Mahabuba'. This weekend, Club Volar came alive with Muthoni, The drummer queen, releasing her brand new video "Welcome to The Disco". Curtain raisers included the likes of Camp Mulla and Dove Slimme.

The Spartans graced this event and with all the cold, we must say that the event was off the chains!! The curtains raisers set the pace and Muthoni came through with a thrilling performance. The sound was very clear and her live band backed her powerful vocals with beats that in our opinion were if not close, better than those produced in the studio.

At the end of the night we all felt like we had come from the disco. The Spartans would like to give a big thumbs up to Muthoni and look forward to her next thrilling event....Terereren! 

Spartan / Fashions 4 All Connect

We would like to give a big shout out to F4A for putting some of our exclusive merchendise on their page. What an enterprising outfit they are, we think we'll do this more often.

Everyone, go out and get F4A merchendise, they get a certified nod from the Spartans. If you're down with F4A, then you're down with the Spartans.

The Come-Up

Guys, ever wondered how a true Spartan looks like?? You might have bumped into one of us and not even know it...

Look out for pictures... we might be stepping out soon.

We can't get enough of this song... and now for the video

Lunch in Mombasa

So another random occurence, and this time it was due to the call of the beach, humidity and a little restaurant little known by visitors that captures the authenticity of traditional coastal delicacies with a touch of class of course :-)

The Spartans were at the Coast this weekend, only it was not your usual planned trip done weeks or even months ahead... No. It was more like, "Dude, am hungry, where do we go eat??" .... "Where n what do you feel like eating?"... "I feel like an authentic swahili dish."... "So si we go down to coasto and look for one?".. "We go..." "We go..." "SAWA!!!"....

Now that's being a Spartan... I can still taste the Shawarma by the way :-)

We Own Naivasha!!!

Of Half-lit fires, quarter blankets, fake mattresses and falling tents to Hippos, guys fighting over a woman (lame), broken windscreens and barriers plus a white boy with a very strong Luhya accent, yes, strange but true.

Yes, the Spartans were at it again and this time, we did it in the wild. Pics, narratives and expletives to follow soon :-)

Birthday Weekend

The Spartans are fortunate (or unfortunate depending on which side of the fence you are sitting on) enough to have many of their members with birthdays falling on every day of one particular week. So this calls for an event called the "birthday weekend".

This is more random than Labour day, has more shots than Madaraka day and is more anticipated than Jamhuri day.... Somewhere in this great country of ours there will be chaos...  Watch this space for pics, vids and scanda.... I mean stories :-)

The Blog is up
