I don’t’ know about you girls, but I am always searching for a blush to give me that perfect runway-model-who-just-got-back-from-an-exotic-holiday look! Well, with the L’Oréal Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush, I can now capture my inner globe-trotting model look with just one swipe to the cheek.
I have always been jealous of those with dry skin (I know, right?), because they could wear cream blush without having to worry about additional oil slicks on the face. I haven’t been able to indulge in any cream type blush formulas, mostly due to my large …

One of the most special holidays is right around the corner: Mother’s Day. Moms are the best (mine sure is) and it’s nice to take a minute and remind them how wonderful they make our lives. It’s isn’t all about gifts, its love and respect and being there, but lets face it, a lovely gift never hurts either. Many moms tend to not spoil themselves, so it’s up to us to do it for them.
Fragrance is one of the most popular gifts for Mother’s Day and I’ve rounded up a …

The time has come, my fragrance-obsessed ladies, to highlight the best notes of the season. It’s time to sniff, test and enjoy all the many scents the world has to offer — and then go shopping!
I hope you have as much fun reading through this as I did finding all the items. Shown below are the “popular as pop” scents as well as the more niche, harder to find than the Holy Grail variety (because we know that the audience out there is picky).
And all are perfectly giftable (if you’re …

A few weeks ago, the annual awards of the Fragrance Foundation were held. Known as the FiFis, these awards are the Oscars of the industry. There were, like any awards shows, a few surprises and a few past winners who took home another award this year.
One of the highlights was seeing Bond No.9 win not just one but two FiFis. Bond No. 9 has been nominated several years running but had never won. This year they took honors for their Astor Place and Brooklyn scents. While Astor Place …

Kudos to Shiseido makeup director Dick Page for his Fall 2009 Color Collection. We’re especially fixated on several great new eye products, starting with the Luminizing Satin Eye Color range. The eye colors were previewed on the FW Fall 2009 runways for leading designers including Michael Kors and Narciso Rodriguez.
The dazzling mono-eyeshadow palettes come in 15 shades of neutrals, pastels and brights. Cavern and Alchemy are two color options that flatter all skin tones. At $25, the formulation contains dual-optimizing powder and satin smooth pearl to deliver a luminous, silky …

Michael Kors’ Very Hollywood perfume ($45 – $85 at sephora.com) This light floral made me think of Marilyn Monroe before she became quite so . . . Marilyn. Also consider the option of this scent in as a solid in a statement-making cocktail ring ($40 at sephora.com) – for the woman who must never leave home without a statement-taking scent.
With notes of shimmering mandarin, iced bergamot, wet jasmine, ylang-ylang, raspberry, gardenia, orris, creamy amber, soft white moss and vetiver, this fragrance is not surprisingly strong and sexy with touches of …

Fabulous doesn’t begin to describe the newly launched fragrance Amanda-a scented celebration of iconic personality Amanada Lepore, who is known throughout the world as the reigning doyenne of transsexuality.
The juice is signed by Christophe Laudemiel, the nose behind many wildly successful fragrances including Estee Lauder Youth Dew Amber Nude, Island Michael Kors (with Loc Dong), Elton John Black Candle, Clinique Happy Heart, and Ralph Lauren Polo Blue (with Carlos Benaim).
Called “the enfant terrible of contemporary perfumery,” Laudamiel was so inspired by Lepore’s larger-than-life persona that he created a fragrance especially …
