Christopher Brosius Breakthroughs Dirt Fragrance

Christopher Brosius has been creating a collection of unusual smells for almost twenty years. One of his first fragrances was the Library, the smell of the library. And in 2004, his own line of fragrances “CB: I Hate Perfume” apperared.

One of the first Christopher’s breakthroughs was the ‘Dirt’ fragrance. In this bottle, there were the author’s reminiscences and memories about the beds of vegetables, about growing herbs and flowers on the family farm in Pennsylvania.

Another milestone was the “Snow” fragrance which had won in its time so many prestigious perfume awards.

Christopher himself says, “I hate perfume, it’s a lazy and tasteless concession to fashion. Too often they replace the real charm and style. A strong flavor is an arrogant slap in the face given by a man from across the room. People who smell the same, disturb me.”

Currently, the “CB: I Hate Perfume” collection has 36 fragrances, with the price ranging from $65 to $275 per vial (the volumes are from 2 to 150 ml).

What are those smells, after all? There are “Russia”, “Kitchen”, “Tea”, “Winter 1972″, “Memory”, and “Celebration” fragrances. And that is how, for example, the “November” smell track is described: pumpkin pie, fire, fallen apples, wood smoke, dry grass, fallen leaves, wet twigs, damp moss, chanterelles, and a pine forest in the distance.

Answering the journalist’s question about describing his work in two or three words, Christopher replied that he created a “smell life”.

Emma Watson Is the New Face of Lancôme

The 20-year-old actress known for her roles in Harry Potter movies, Emma Watson, has become the new commercial face of the Lancôme cosmetics brand. This has been reported by Emma herself.

She wrote in her Twitter that she had been selected the new face of a well-known brand. And then she deciphered: “It starts with the letter L, and ends with E, I hope everyone guessed, Lancôme has chosen me:)”.

Rihanna Got Sexy for Nivea Brand

The famous singer Rihanna is now the official voice of Nivea. The well-known cosmetic brand sponsors Rihanna’s concerts, and in her turn, Rihanna has even taken off her clothes to show respect for the 100-year anniversary of the brand.

The Nivea brand is going to celebrate its centennial in May. Global activities and wide celebration of the date are planned. The singer Rihanna is going to start her North American and European tour in late May. Nivea is the official sponsor of the concert tour. Nivea’s PR and advertising campaigns featuring Rihanna in the key roles are scheduled for this period.

Markus Pinger, a member of the Beiersdorf Board (Beiersdorf produces Nivea brand products), said that over the last 100 years, Nivea had become an important skin care brand around the world. According to him, the consumers trust Nivea, and now, having conquered the authority of the middle-aged generation, the brand wants to attract a much younger audience.

Apart from Rihanna, Britney Spears supports the 100th anniversary campaign of the brand, attracting a new generation of Nivea fans. Most of the jubilee events will take place in the Internet, and it is also a certain trick to attract young people to Nivea.

Kate Winslet is gorgeously lascivious in the new Lancôme’s L’Absolu Sexy lipsticks ad video as she strikes seductive poses on the floor having only a scanty satin sheet for cover. The clip, shot by Mario Testino, shows the actress in a peroxide blond pixie cut, the marvelous soft locks she wore so proudly in British Vogue.

The tendency to get actresses undressed for doing beauty products ads seems to be growing, what with Kirsten Dunst also all but disrobed by Italian luxury house Bulgari for their new fragrance Mon Jasmin Noir ad campaign.

Dior Spring 2011 Makeup Products

Premieres of spring and summer collections of Dior makeup are accompanied by significant changes. Dior has new faces, a new approach towards commercials, as well as new and interesting products.

Let us begin with new faces. Natalie Portman has been the face of Miss Dior Cherie fragrance since the beginning of this year. The advertising campaign has been filmed by Sofia Coppola, the celebrated director. And new images should appear at the end of this month.

In late March or early April we will have another premiere. Kate Moss will represent the famous Dior Addict lipsticks line. The production of 44 new shades and the commercial video of the new product are expected. And there is certainly another novelty about Dior’s being so active in the commercial video.

We also should expect the production of new shades of nail polish together with the new lipsticks. The new Rock Coat nail polish, a black coating which can be applied over any other color to make the nails glow in the vamp style, is in the focus of attention.

And some more rock shades are expected in spring.

Now, this is espionage news about the limited sale of the Aloha shade with some ultra-brilliant and vinyl effect (only from May 2 to 16 and only in some stores). The Aloha shade will be produced in a pair with another vinyl and brilliant “shocking pink” color. The price for each is about $35.

Sexy Megan Fox for Armani Code Fragrance

Megan Fox is a lucky find for Armani brand. She represents the line of decorative cosmetics as well as the group of Armani Code fragrances. Even the new perfume for men, Armani Code Sport, for the Summer-2011 season will be advertised by her.

First of all, a few words about the fragrances which have already won the fans’ love. These are Armani Code (first released in 2004) and Armani Code for Women (the 2006 novelty for women). For both male and female fragrances, there has been chosen the sexy story of the encounter of two elegantly dressed people against the background of the magic Los Angeles night.

The main role is performed by Megan Fox, a dazzling brunette with scarlet lips. Naturally, the couple is dressed in Armani clothes.

And while advertising the new Armani Code Sport fragrance for men, Megan Fox had to take off her clothes. The fragrance for the strong sex, Armani Code Sport, is due for release in June, 2011, and it will be a refreshing and stimulating aroma full of adrenaline and superiority. In general, the critics describe the new fragrance as a wood composition with spices. Among the fragrance notes one can find lemon, mandarin, three kinds of mint, black amber, ginger, and vetiver.

The idea for the Code Sport commercial is based on the demonstration of strength and attractiveness of the male body. A naked man goes out of the pool at night to be met by a luxurious brunette. Again, the images of the night in Los Angeles are used, being so adored by maestro Armani. The night supports the magical and even dangerous character of the new fragrance for men.

The new Armani Code Sport fragrance will be released in the summer Eau de Toilette concentration, in 30, 50, and 75 ml bottles of perfume.

Jennifer Lopez for L’Oréal Paris

You are certainly waiting, as we are, for the first commercials and advertising pages with Jennifer Lopez, the new face of L’Oréal Paris cosmetic company. We have already written about the video, so now we are focused on the printed advertisement.

Jennifer Lopez is currently a very influential woman. Her new hit American Idol reflects her achievements in some degree. You bet! Nominations and wins at the Grammy Awards and Golden Globe ceremonies, her work in TV shows and participation in charity programs make her famous.

The first L’Oréal products which the star began to advertise were chosen from the line for hair straightening and smoothing. TV commercials appeared in January, 2011, and print advertisements with Jennifer will debut in February and March issues of gloss magazines.

The new printed advertisements display Lopez promoting L’Oréal Paris Infallible Le Rouge lipstick. A classic red shade of the lipstick was selected for the image of the actress and singer. Accentuated with smoky eyes, the celebrity’s face looks especially luxurious! Steel gray and silver shades are used in the inner corners of the eyes. The eyebrows are underlined with cream shadows, with bronzer used as a blush.

Burberry Prorsum AW11 Makeup

When creating Fall 2011 Burberry Prorsum collection, designer Christopher Bailey kept in mind two main ideas: a woman should look as natural as can be and elegantly and inconspicuously retro. When Wendy Rowe and Neil Moodie set to work they discovered that he succeeded but brilliantly.

Bailey had drawn his inspiration for the collection from Jean Shrimpton, the 60s greatest supermodel and the icon of Swinging London. A unique way to care of your skin and hair resulted, as reported by Rowe and Moodie.

Rowe used Burberry Glow Foundation to get the models’ skin to shimmer and accentuated the cheekbones with just a touch of Light Glow Natural Blush in Earthy – the treatment she referred to as “effortless”. Then she worked on the eyes with Sheer Eyeshadow in Antique Rose and Almond, added a coat or two of Effortless Mascara in Brown in the corners and underlined the eyes with it too. For the lips she chose Lip Mist #02 that makes the natural rosiness of the lips slightly more pronounced.

The eyebrows were left for the last as they were meant to be a definite but modern-looking hark-back to the 60s. Rowe wanted to achieve a stronger shape and a greater linear distinction, for which she used Sheer Eyeshadow in Taupe Brown for a filler.

Moodie then took over to do the hair, and he seconded Rowe’s opinion about the overall effortlessness of the result. The Burberry girl, he joined in, is marked with “a quick, simple look” that comes so close to natural as to give the impression that it almost hasn’t been made up at all! “It should never feel as if it’s been labored over,” he said as he applied Bumble & bumble Prep Spray and Styling Lotion.

Burberry Prorsum’s answer to soft provocation seems to be provocatively easy!

Dior Mitzah Bricard Makeup Collection

This spring, Dior presents a “leopard” collection of make-up. Its creation was inspired by Mitzah Bricard, Christian Dior’s famous muse. She is known to the fashionable society as a designer of hats. During her life, she adored wearing clothes with leopard motifs and could do that with a special chic and dignity.

Mitzah really had a strong influence on the great couturier. He admired her style of dress, and it was partly due to her that leopard prints appeared in Christian Dior’s collections. Since 1947, such things have always been in the lines of Christian Dior clothes.

It should be noted that, to our point of view, the collection is a little old-fashioned, at least for a couple of seasons. Because it was then that the leopard theme was on its peak. Although this year, too, the prints resembling “a leopard” do not seem to be a mauvais ton.

The collection of makeup called Mitzah Bricard Collection includes only three items: reticulation shadows and two limited edition shades of nail polish.

Reticulation is a real luxury, with the camel, brown, and tan shades. A sought-after thing!

The two nail polish shades are:

• 912: ebony,
• 622: camel

The cost is $ 21 dollars per bottle.

Mitzah Bricard was recalled by the Dior brand last year when a collection of fragrances Dior Couturier Parfumeur Collection appeared. Each of the fragrances was somehow connected with the biography of Christian Dior. And together with the smells of Maitre’s childhood and adolescence, Mitzah fragrance was produced.

Pupa Air de Fio Fragrances Collection

The Italian Pupa brand presents six new fragrances which form the “Air de Fio” collection. New scents are inspired by the nature itself and are intended as a present for women who like modern floral arrangements.

Each of the six vials resembles a drop of rain with unique fragrance inside. The bottles are made of glass with metal lids and decorated with different flowers (various colors depending on the smell). The handmade flowers decorate the bottles. Each vial presents 75 ml eau de toilette which costs about $ 35. The Pupa Air de Fio Collection includes:

Air de Fio No1

The fragrance with refreshing top notes of mandarin, black currant, and rice. In the “heart” of the fragrance, there is white iris, heliotrope, and lily. The base notes are cedar, vanilla, amber, and musk.

Dita von Teese’s Fragrance

Dita Von Teese, the famous burlesque star, singer, and actress, is going to produce her own perfume. The star’s partners in this project are the French, who have won worldwide recognition as the finest perfumers. Dita spoke about the details of the work on Twitter.

”Do not expect my smell to have fruit or flower motifs”, Dita Von Teese says. Such fragrances as Quelques Fleurs and Dior’s Passage No. 4 are among the celebrity’s favorites, and she uses them to focus on the search of her own composition.

“No fruit, no vanilla, no candy”, concludes Dita. “The sensuality of velvet and a drop of vulgarity! I want the fragrance to reflect love, passion, and excitement.”

The novelty must be waited for. Dita writes in her blog that the most optimistic plans of having the fragrance on sale would be Fall-2011 season. But most likely, the new fragrance will please the singer’s fans in early 2012.
