Maybe it has something to do with expecting a first born child, but Bruce Willis has been inspired by his 'lovely wife Emma' Heming-Willis to create his first female fragrance, Lovingly. This romantic scent has fragrance notes of musk, sandalwood, whiteblossoms, and citrus fruits.

Lovingly by Bruce Willis is available as:

an Eau de Parfum, a Perfumed Shower Gel, a Perfumed Body Lotion, and a Perfumed Deo Spray.

Get beautiful, bold brows like the pretty Tracy Reese models, and in fact, on lots of the most recent runway shows.  If you have been living under a rock for the past year or so, bold brows are a definite trend to try.  So how do you try it out and get your own bold brow going?

Step 1, put down the tweezers! Maybe a scary thing to you, but don't be! Only tweeze away those strays, but get a eye brow brush and a clear mascara/brow gel to keep those brows ruly when trying to get this look just right.

Step 2, fill in the blanks.  Grab an eyebrow pencil a shade lighter than your nautral brow color and fill in those sparse spots. You can also use an eyebrow gel and powder.

Step 3, after filling it all in with gels, powders, eyeliners, what ever it is, take that brush and brush down and upward for a super natural, full, bold brow look.

We love nothing more than the launch of a new product, especially when it's by Shiseido and it's big announcement is that it's going OIL FREE! Shiseido's latest skin care product, Sun Protection Spray SPF 15 comes, now, in an oil free formula.  The spray is good for use on face, hair, and body. Oil free, and claims to be water resistant and sand proof, this is a definite summer must have in our book, and we cant wait to grab it off shelves this month and throw it in our beach bag!

With ingredients like xylitol and rose apple leaf extract, our skin will be soft and healthy looking with protection against sunburn, cell damage, and dryness.

Not only is he launching his new Dot fragrance, but just in, Marc Jacobs is planning to create a makeup collection too! He recently revealed the exciting news during an interview with WWD about his new fragrance, Dot. 

He said, "Anything to me that is part of the joy, the ritual, of getting dressed - things that women enjoy like bags, shoes, fragrance, clothes, makeup - that's what fashion's about for me," he said. "I love the opportunity, wherever there is one, to adorn, to decorate, to scent, to dress. That's what fashion's all about. It's not necessary, it's something you want - it's a fancy and a whim."

Marc added, "I see makeup, fragrance - everything, really - as an opportunity. The idea of choosing a color for your lip, or an eyeliner - it's just such a delight. The ritual of waking up and making those choices is something people really enjoy. We currently are working on defining what Marc Jacobs cosmetics will be, what they'll say, what makes them distinctive. I think that will take some time, but the first meeting was good."

We're excited to see the next big thing!  Oh the suspense!

How exciting is this! We already are in love with Givenchy's fine skincare line, however it has been said that the luxury brand will be extending their skincare with the new Hydra Sparkling addition.  The skin care range will launch it's Mutiprotective Luminescense Moisturizing Fluid, containing 'Sparkling Water Complex', a patented concentrate of five complexes that promise to hydrate, plump, and brighten your skin. And that's not it! It gets better; the moisturizing fluid will protect against UV rays, free radicals, glycation and pollution, according to Givenchy.

Radiance and moisture are promised of this lovely moisturizing fluid and the natural ingredients include jasmine extract, sunflower extract and moringa. 

Thank goodness it's April, we wouldn't be able to wait any longer to try this one!

Is it just us or is Bond No. 9 in super duper creative mode with coming up with new fragrance launches? NOT that we are complaining, we're loving it!

Now, Bond No. 9 is set to launch two new fragrances for their I LOVE NY collection, I LOVE NY for Fathers and I LOVE NY for Marriage Equality.

I Love NY for Fathers is described by the company as "an easy-to-wear, easy-to-love fragrance. [The fragrance] celebrates the vivid, fast-paced, swashbuckling breed of male-ness that built and defined the Empire State."

I Love NY for Marriage Equality is described by the company as "An easy-to-wear, easy-to-love fragrance that honors New York proudly setting the global pace in celebrating love, marriage … and civil rights"

We love a fragrance with a great inspiration and supports equality!

The boutique doors have been newly opened for this Italian luxury fragrance brand, Acqua di Parma, right in the heart of Milan. Milan, known as the 'fashion quadrilateral', is the perfect place for the new fragrance boutique home.

The store has been said to embody the brand's key qualities, elegance and Italian craftsmanship. Not only does the boutique feature designer wall coatings and hints of the brand's signature yellow color, but it also features the Barbiere Collection, where customers can sit back, relax, and experience a true shaving experience.

In celebration, the brand has re-released it's limited edition fragrance, Colonia, as well as ta jumbo cube candle.   

They've done it before and they'll do it again! Leighton Meester and Vera Wang have worked together in the past.  Vera chose Ms. Meester to be the face of her Love Struck fragrance but this time around, they are teaming up again, only this time it's to join together to gain support for bone marrow donors!

Together, and with the teaming up of DKMS (the worlds largest bone marrow donor center), they've created the 'Share the Love' campaign. 
How to get involved? Purchase a Vera Wang fragrance at Macy's and you'll receive a 'Share the Love' t-shirt! How does Meester become a part of it all? The actress is the face of the charity's ad campaign, along with Keri Mullen, a 19-year old blood cancer survivor.

"Everyone wants a new car, a new phone, whatever. But the only thing someone who is ill wants is to survive," the actress said in the public service announcement for the campaign. "But I learned six out of ten people who have leukemia never find a matching donor. It's very difficult. So the more people that get swabs and the more people are willing to donate, the more people can survive."

A bold, exciting, and 'colourful' move to say the least, CK One is making it's way into colour cosmetics!  The line will capture the brands DNA with authenticity, confidence, and coolness in over 130 products.

“With its fragrance roots, expanding into a color cosmetics line was a natural progression for the CK One brand,” said Tom Murry, president and chief executive officer of Calvin Klein Inc. “This latest extension embodies the energy and free spirit of CK One, offering fresh and unique beauty products that are ideal for today’s youthful, independent consumer.”

With the summer heat on it's way, it's a wise time to decide whether to use foundation vs tinted moisturizer in hopes that our faces don't melt off mid-day.  The worst feeling is probably your foundation melting off of your face in the midst of a heat wave...and that's why we're here to remind you to get ready to make the switch.

So, do you stick to foundation in the heat of the summer? Powder or liquid? OR do you skip that step and snag that tinted moisturizer for the season?

May we make a suggestion?

If your skin type is dry, we say go for the tinted moisturizer.  The moisturizer will keep your face free from flaking and will get you that tint of color. 

If your skin is a mix of oily and dry, you have combination skin, which can go either way.  Go for either, the tinted moisturizer or the foundation.  If you're feeling more oily in the warm season, carry a powder to lightly brush onto your face to absorb that excess.

If you have oily skin, we say stick with the foundation and pat a powder to rid any shine. 

So, which do you prefer for the summer season? Foundation or tinted moisturizer?
