Ever since her Legally Blonde days, I’ve hearted Reese Witherspoon. She’s just SO adorable, and believable, and OK, in the movie she was JUST like me. Like, ask any of my friends. Her logic = my logic.
Granted, I realize movies aren’t real, and her character is not necessarily her.
But I still love Reese! And I love her new scent for Avon, Reese in Bloom.
“In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee,” explains Reese Witherspoon. “We had a great big Magnolia tree in the back yard, and it’s that beautiful white blossom that …read more

So, as I mentioned the other day, last week I had breakfast with the La Prairie team.
The purpose of our meet and greet (aside from pastries), was the launch of their exciting new Life Threads fragrance collection.
We all know the super-luxe La Prairie for their paramount skincare and cosmetics – but Life Threads is a whole new ballpark of awesomeness (wrapped up in a pretty lucite bottle!).
The line comes in a trio of “threads” – Silver, Gold, and Platinum – each meant to represent a stage in a woman’s life.
My favorite scent in the line is silver, the “flirtatious” …read more

I just read about something that, if true, I’m buying stock in the company.
Eau Flirt is a new scent from Harvey Prince (you may remember them from their prior release, Ageless Anti-Age Perfume).
Apparently, it is clinically proven to make men flirt with women!
This claim is based on a  study done by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, that  showed Eau Flirt’s blend of lavender, pumpkin and other secret scents actually provoke passion in men.
As I’m currently trying to provoke passion in men, I am going to rise to the challenge and have just asked for a sample of …read more

Out of my whole beauty closet, the products that I go through the quickest are the body butters…I truly believe sexiness is not possible without silky smooth skin!
One of my favorite new additions of Benefit Cosmetics’ Body So Fine.
I love this stuff – its scent is nothing short of seductive, and it has a shimmering pink to its pink body balm, which works just about everywhere!
Use it to give your arms, legs and décolleté a silky finish. It’s scented with white blossoms, which is slightly naughty but very intoxicating. (Then again, that’s probably what makes it intoxicating!)
Also included is a …read more

Perhaps it’s a tad of self-adoration, but I love owning things that bear a bit of a resemblance to me!
Harajuku Lovers’ G Solid Perfume is clearly an example of this!
It’s based on the character of G, who dons a white, corseted top and a blue miniskirt á la Alice in Wonderland. (Also, much like me!)
She’s quirky, unique, and undeniably cool, (also, I’d like to think, like me) and is the leader of the pack.
The scent is an oriental, fruity, gourmand fragrance with notes of fresh coconut, jasmine, and cotton woods. Check out the cuteness…and of course the scent (enjoy!).

Can you even believe how adorable this is????
If you are a fan of Harajuku Lovers, you’ll swoon for the Love Gift Set!!!
Actually, even if you aren’t a fan – how cute will this look on your vanity?
You’ll love Love: She’s stepping out in a cute, striped mini-dress and fashionable red kicks – honestly, she dresses sort of like me -  and wears her heart on her sleeve, or rather, in her hair! How could you not love??? Her scent is reminiscent of a floral bouquet, with notes of pink pomelo, rose, and creamy vanilla orchid. It’s maybe perfect for your …read more

If you are looking to update your scent this season, M·A·C Creations Hue: Dejarose is a perfect spring fragrance.
It’s totally romantic and mingles Bulgarian, Turkish and Tea Roses with the essence of orchid, lily, jasmine and peony to create a rosy retro-scent.
I love the sexy playfulness of it – and the bottle is perfectly cute and compact as well!

A few weeks ago, I was helping one of my best friends pack up one apartment to move to another.
She, too, is a beauty editor, and upon opening up one of her hall closets, we were greeted by shelves upon shelves of bottles of lotions and potions.
When such myriad options are in front of you…what jumps out? The prettiest package.
And, that day, I oo’d and ahh’d (and grabbed) everything that came in sexy bottles – without even knowing what it smelled like or even who made it. And the same effect just happened again.
If you have been paying attention, the …read more

I have always been a fan of Vera Wang, and I was immediately excited about the new Vera Wang Rock Princess.
Why? Cause I, myself, am a rock princess! (Or aspire to be.)
The scent is dark and sultry, while fruity and floral, sort of embodying both the princess and edgy sides inside of us all. (Think of it as naughty and nice, with an edge.)
Initially, I was drawn to the gorgeous bottle – and how beautiful it will look on my vanity – but the spicy florals are what is going to keep me back (and wearing on sexy nights out!)
