Job interview? Show off your skills, not your scent
Mon, 02/28/2011 - 16:32 | Wendy
If you're going on an interview, be mindful of your fragrance. Some people are very sensitive to odor, even to the point of offended, so it's important that you do not overdo it. This is a time for your skills to stand out, not your scent!
Try a light scent like Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue, which is fresh and citrusy. DKNY's Be Delicious is another good option. Its notes of grapefruit, cucumber and apple won't offend anyone, but it might make them hungry.

The ad featuring Kirsten Dunst as the face of Bvlgari's new fragrance has been released. Dunst is sans clothes in the ad for Mon Jasmin Noir, perched next to a sizeable lion. The shot, which was taken in Lake Como, Italy, pictures Dunst in Bvlgari jewels holding a supersized bottle of the perfume, which is slated for market release in April.
It's a pretty ad, we must admit. But does anyone else think Dunst looks a little like Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles here?
A quick beauty tip for Monday morning
Sun, 02/27/2011 - 21:25 | Wendy
It's Monday morning. Don't let your face show coworkers just how little sleep (but a lot of fun) you had over the weekend. Don't load on foundation to hide tired eyes. Instead try a tinted moisturizer and neutral color eye pencil. Cucumber slices work, too, to minimize puffiness.
Get an interactive dose of Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur online
Fri, 02/25/2011 - 09:35 | Wendy
Fragrance launches are getting more and more interactive these days. Case in point: Rihanna's web site for her debut fragrance, Reb'l Fleur. The site directs you down two different paths, depending on which one you choose; either "Reb'l" or "Fleur." You can even share this information on Facebook. The site is completely interactive and can be played backward, forward, fast or slow; it's all up to you.
Long week? Try this health tip to relieve stress
Thu, 02/24/2011 - 16:10 | Wendy
Feeling stressed after a long week? Try an essential oil blend of Ylang-Ylang and grapefruit. Don’t apply the essential oils directly to your skin. Use a carrier lotion like jojoba or simply add some drops to a pot of water and heat it on the stove.

Apparently Fergie picked the perfect name for her debut fragrance, Outspoken. The perfume has been reported to be the top-selling fragrance in the history of Avon. That's quite a feat for the Black Eyed Peas singer, who told StyleList, "I couldn't be happier to be working with a brand with such a strong reputation for supporting women." She worked with Avon for two years to create the scent because she wanted to make sure it was perfect.
