Kenzo is a company that is always trying something new. They will take one their established fragrances and tweak it, make something new with the addition of notes, all new packaging, etc. It’s one of the reasons that I really enjoy writing about them – there’s always something interesting going on.
A good example is the new Kenzo Power Cologne for men. They started with the original Amber notes of Kenzo Power and followed in the tradition of the early 18th century colognes by opening with fresh, aromatic citrus notes.

During the recession, we can’t help but feel a little guilty having spa days.

Here are a few quality eyeliner options you should be able to find at your local drugstore:
Almay Amazing Lasting 16 Hour Eye Pencil – waterproof, hypoallergenic and includes soothing Vitamin E for sensitive skin. Comes in black and …read more
