Kim Kardashian’s Fragrance Gold

After a very successful perfume produced by Kim Kardashian in 2009, another novelty has been unveiled, and it is deemed to be no less popular. This new Gold fragrance is a luxurious brand. The celebrity’s motto “Transcend Ordinary” became the slogan of the new fragrance.

Gold Perfume is an intensive summer story revealing the rich notes of bergamot, grapefruit, and pink pepper. In the “heart” of it, there is a floral bouquet of jasmine, rose and violet. And the base notes are constituted by glitzy and luxurious patchouli, sandalwood, amber, benzoin as well as elegant and warm musk.

The bottle is produced in a combination of golden and black colors. The fragrance will appear in the form of Eau de Parfum in the bottles of 50 and 100 ml.

Fragrance Paris Premieres Roses by Yves Saint Laurent

The new Paris Premieres Roses fragrance for women is ready to bring joy to the fans of YSL scents. This is a new version of the famous Paris fragrance the emphasis in which is on the rose notes, intensive floral ‘heart’, and a glamorous pink color.

The fragrance will come in large bottles of 125 ml (eau de toilette) and will be on sale from April, 2011. The spring novelty will cost about 70 euros.

Top notes of the fragrance fascinate with mountain lily and rose. There is a composition of the flowers of orange, pink wild roses, peonies and violets in the “heart” of the new perfume. Special luxury is given to the fragrance by the base notes of warm musk and sandal wood.

The bottles and the packaging are decorated with bright pink motifs; the edition is limited, and it is for young and exquisite women.

Kate Moss for Dior Addict Lipstick

While the media spread around the news of Kate Moss’s engagement with a rocker Jimmy Hince, the principal beauty news featuring Kate is no less impressive. Moss appeared in Paris not for nothing, and not only for the betrothal. She signed an agreement with Dior, the most famous fashion brand in the world. What will the famous model be advertising?

Do you remember that in October 2010 during Paris Fashion Week a photo of Kate where she was painting her lips with the famous Dior Addict Lipstick, was featured on all the glossy pages? Even the lipstick shade was identified – Charmed Pink No. 578. The Dior Beauté advertisers could not miss such an event, and it became known that the 37-year-old Kate Moss had been invited to become the new face of Dior Beauté makeup brand, and she will, of course, advertise a line of Dior Addict lipstick.

Advertisings featuring Moss will appear in May issues of gloss fashion magazines.

A little intrigue remains. Kate appears to be a fan of pink and pale lipstick shades, while lipstick advertising involves bright and rich colors (these are the most frequently selected ones for models advertising lipstick).

And the Dior Addict lipstick is itself associated with rich red. After all, Dior Addict lipstick is a line of special products with brightly pigmented shades, a creamy texture and a lasting formula. The line includes a few sparkling light-reflecting shades similar to lip gloss. Could these very shades be on Kate’s new advertising?

New York Fashion Week has presented the Fall 2011 images. As for makeup, there might be not so many discoveries. However, there are some interesting ideas to be noted. They can be recalled in late summer when we go shopping for the autumn season.

After several seasons with brown and gold being the dominant shades, a suggestion of using eye makeup in bright pink or even fuchsia colors still looks interesting and fresh.

Makeup by Ruffian

The images of the 1970-s are being extremely fashionable. Glossy red lips, smoky eyes, loose and wavy hair.

If you underline just the lips then you should choose a dim red hue, as the one presented by Luca Luca.

Makeup Lessons for Jobless French Women

Still, French women are special. And the government of France knows this, and fully supports the beauty of their ladies. For example, one of the support programs for unemployed women in the country deals not only with re-education and psychological comfort, but also offers to study the art of makeup.

The National Employment Agency for the government of France organized free of charge courses in daily makeup for the unemployed French women, as reported by BBC. It is assumed that such courses will give unemployed women a new impetus to cope with depression, support them, and help them look competitive when seeking employment.

A very interesting solution, isn’t it? Of course, many now think that unemployed women should rather be provided with a job… Or not? Do you think such care for women and understanding of women’s interests are necessary?

Tres Vichy Collection by Make Up For Ever

The spring collection of make-up by Make Up For Ever is called Tres Vichy, and the idea for the collection has been «suggested» by the great French actress Brigitte Bardot. To tell the truth, not even by herself, but by her famous wedding dress, which she had on when she and the French actor Jacques Charrier were getting married.

Retro-motives of the 1950-s look really fresh! Bright shades of pink and spring green are especially emphasized in the collection. And the checkered bow embellishes not only advertising images, but even false eyelashes for a new and playful spring image.

New colored powders Star Powder Diamond look very attractive. These are sparkling textures which can be used practically in all cases: as shades, rouge, highlighters, powders, and even for lips. They can be used with the help of dry or moistened applicators. New spring shades include:

• #67diamond white,
• #68 diamond pink with purple highlights,
• #69 diamond pink with golden highlights,
• #70 diamond green with golden highlights,

The two-color palette of Vichy Blossom Palette contains the white shimmer and the pink shimmer – a splendid accent for eyelids and rouges.

The super novelty of the collection is the fantasy false eyelashes. Brigitte Bardot’s calling card. The eyelashes Très Vichy Faux-Lash are made from natural hair and have a checkered bow on their side!

Do Women Start to Age

True, none of us is getting any younger, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we are getting older, does it? Even if, sometimes unexpectedly, we pass on from being young to being aged. There ought to be a breaking point somewhere along the line where spring’s freshness turns to summer’s mellowness.

Those cunning Japanese boffins done and nailed down the turning point. Their findings say (and we came to know that courtesy of Sloane Crosley’s latest W contribution) that women turn the bend and pay the tribute to age when they are 35.09 years old, that is, within the first month after the 35th birthday.

The reason why Japanese great brains came after that particular piece of knowledge was that they belong with cult skincare brand SK-II. The thing is not only that ladies begin to acquire the gloss of maturity once they’ve stepped over the 35.09 threshold, but that the skin’s resilience has also worn considerably thinner and less ready to withstand the strife of living. From then on with every passing day you have to help the skin to hold its own against lines that grow more pronounced and deepening wrinkles. And the same team of researchers holds out the perfect remedy to that in the form of SK-II’s Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream in an attractive package.

Whether the 35.09 borderline is universal or may be (slightly) different outside Japan, still it’s the time when we are bound to find our own bets brand to take care of our skin. While Ms. Crosley puts her faith with SK-II products, all of us are working against the clock with the help of other companies on the vigil for the eternal beauty. So what is your answer to keep your skin fresh as long as we can manage to? What anti-aging products help take years off your face and hands so visibly that you would like to share your skin care experience?
