Legacy 1912 Titanic Fragrance Launch

The 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic is upon us and not only is a new 3D version of the Titanic movie, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, being released but a fragrance by QVC will be commemorated!

The shopping channel has created Legacy 1912 Titanic, a fragrance inspired not by the disaster but by a British perfumer and surviver. A sample of perfume once carried by Adolphe Saalfeld, was savlaged and 'recreated'.  According to QVC, Saafeld was enroute to America to make fortune off of a new fragrance he'd hope to debut, until disaster struck.

"Inspired by actual essences recovered from the wreck of the Titanic, Legacy 1912 eau de parfum surrounds you with the fragrance of delicate lemon and nerolis, alongside blushing rose and warm, sheer amber. A testament to the enduring nature of history, this scent also honors the legacy of British perfume maker Aldophe Saalfeld, who had to leave his precious case of perfume vials behind when he fled the ship."

"Legacy 1912 is based upon the perfume oils developed by German-born chemist Adolphe Saalfeld. He was traveling on the Titanic to New York in hopes of developing a new line of scents. He survived the sinking, but his samples were lost. Found 2-1/2 miles beneath the ocean's surface, many samples amazingly still contained their oils."

The fragrance Legacy 1912 Titanic will be availabe on QVC at $69.

Obama Does Nail Polish!

Mr. Barack Obama is with it, if we say so oursevles. He's up on his game with social media and better yet, he's created a nail polish collection, which we totally love!

Like he takes his campaign seriously, we take our beauty and industry news seriously, so this is a must read! The nail polish collection comes in three colors, yes, red, white and blue and has been designed by Richard Blanch of Le Métier de Beauté. 
The set of 3 nail lacquers come in a cute, collectable make-up bag with Obama's campaign logo. The red polish is Red-Y To Win Red, a deep red, a great pop of color that makes a statement.  The White polish named Victory White is a soft, clean white perfect for ever day wear. The blue polish is Bo Blue, a shimmery sapphire blue, which is a 'fun take on teh classic navy'. 

The polishes are, naturally, made in the USA and are $40 for the 'runway to win' and available on the Barack Obama online store.  Will you support?

Surgery...for Bold Brows?

No trend is as hot as the natural, bold brow look this season but to go the great length of plastic surgery? Yes, we said surgery.

The surgery, a uGraft restoration procedure is becoming increasingly popular and costs about $6,000 to $8,000.  The process is similar to hair transplantiong, actually, that is exactly what it is.  The hair from the nape of the neck or leg is transplanted to the brows. Sounds weird? Not so much.  The hair from those areas are the same, in texture and growth cycle, as your eyebrows, kid you not. So the hairs are removed and then added individually.

Who would have thought, moving hair from one part of your body to the next would cost thousands?

We love the bold brow look but wouldn't taking a brow pencil and brush be way easier (and less temporary) than this permanaent, expensive surgery?

Whats your take?
