BCA Month: Mélange Pink Solid Perfume

Kori Ellis — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:23:02 +0000

Mélange owner, Denise Estrada’s grandmother died of breast cancer — in large part because she did not receive regular screening. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mélange Perfume will donate 30% of all sales of their portable Pink Solid Perfumes to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. These solid fragrances come in amazing scents such as Honeysuckle, Iris, Lilac, Polynesia, Frangipani, Japanese Tea Rose and Melati Jasmine.

The perfumes are a combination of fragrance notes and essential oils formed in a base of natural Beeswax and Jojoba Oil. The result is a perfectly solid perfume that glides onto the skin without feeling sticky, like many other solid fragrances. You can wear the scents alone or blend them together to create your own custom fragrance. Retail price is $15 for a .35 oz jar.

Look for more Breast Cancer Awareness products throughout October at Splendicity. We hope you keep these products in mind when shopping. It’s a great way to give back to a worthy cause.

Giveaway: Paris Hilton Siren

Kori Ellis — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:06:38 +0000

Paris Hilton recently launched her sixth fragrance for women — Siren. You have probably seen the ads with Paris looking like a beautiful mermaid. The gorgeous bottle also has the shape of a mermaid’s tail. The fragrance features notes of mandarin, apricot nectar, frangipani, honeysuckle, coconut orchid, water lily, vanilla beans, sandalwood and creamy musk. It’s a fruity floral that opens very sweet.

You definitely can smell the florals and the tropical aroma too but as it lingers, the remaining fragrance is a sweet candy-like scent. It’s not overwhelming and very fresh. Siren is definitely one of my favorites from Paris.

Paris Hilton Siren was developed by perfumer Honorine Blanc. It comes in 50 ml ($45) and 100 ml ($55) Eau de Parfum, as well as matching body products. You can find it at Macy’s and Boscov’s.

Mother’s Day Splurge

Kori Ellis — Sun, 10 May 2009 04:11:22 +0000

It’s Mother’s Day, did you forget to give your mom a gift? If you really want to treat her to something special, check out the indulgent gift ideas from Neiman Marcus. From luxury handbags to home decor, there’s something for everyone — no matter her style.

One of my favorite things on the list is this Ralph Lauren fragrance. Sure, perfume might be a played out idea for a Mother’s Day gift, but this particular perfume is anything but ordinary. The limited-edition Love Eau de Parfum Amethyst comes heart-shaped bottle with a 24k, handpainted gold cap. On top of the cap is a gorgeous amethyst from the mines of North Brazil.

The perfume is priced at $2,200 but looks to be worth every penny. The scent is a fabulous floral oriental that smells absolutely delectable.

Even if you can’t splurge on your mom this Mother’s Day, there are plenty of things you can do for her that won’t cost much at all.

Clean her house.
Cook her a week’s worth of dinners and freeze them.
Run her errands.
Give her a CD of pictures of the two of you together.
Write a handwritten letter about everything she means to you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms. Enjoy your day!
