Tabatha's Salon Takeover Is Back!
Looking for a dramatic, conflict-ridden show to add to your must-watch TV lineup? Might I recommend Tabatha's Salon Takeover? The reality program, which made its debut on Bravo last year, is set to make its second season premiere on Nov.
Coming Soon: Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise
Due out 1st September is a brand-new exciting scent from Jo Malone. I always get especially giddy when they have a new launch because this brand has yet to let me down. I love that you can layer their scents, so I almost look at it as an opportunity to create something just for me, using a mix of their colognes as a base.
Coming Soon: Cuddle Up With Essie's 2009 Autumn Collection
Dust off your cashmere sweaters from your wardrobes and get ready to cosy up to Essie's newest nail collection. This six-colour line consists of four muted Autumnal rose, brown and grey shades along with two brights (pink and orange) to keep that Summertime neon trend going.The polishes were inspired from the bold furs and subdued knits on the Autumn/Winter 2009 runways. Essie Weingarten, Founder of Essie said in a recent press release, "At the shows, designers showed striking tailored pieces in muted fabrics that exploded with bright pops of color – that was really refreshing and exciting.
Coming Soon: Mariah Carey Forever
When she's not in a row with Eminem, breaking records for the highest amount of number one singles, or acting in Precious, (the highly anticipated film due out this November), Mariah Carey is selling perfume.
After much success with her first fragrance, M by Mariah Carey in 2007, the songstress is set to launch her sophomore scent, Forever ($42 to $65), this September. The line will also include a parfum ($250!) and a body lotion ($28).
Get Your First Look at Twilight Beauty Palettes!
While I dream of getting closer to Robert Pattinson's lips (it could happen!), I might just have to settle for the next best thing: checking out Twilight Beauty. A brand developed with the founder of DuWop cosmetics, the product range encompasses more than 70 items. You've already heard about Twilight Lip Venom, but more details are rolling out about the two lines of Twilight Beauty.
Tsumori Chisato Designs a Princely Collection For Shu Uemura
Back in high school, Mademoiselle Wood made it a requirement that we all read Le Petit Prince in French — a daunting task at the time. But I soon I became wrapped up in the dreamlike, surprisingly profound, world of this little prince and his similarly unpredictable companions.
Fast-forward to the present day, and I'm captivated by The Little Prince once again, as Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato is set to launch her own adaptation of the classic novella in collaboration with Shu Uemura.
Double Your Fun: Two New "Same Name Twice" Fragrances
These days, apparently twice is very nice indeed, because WWD is reporting that in August, both Nina Ricci and Juicy Couture will launch fragrances with charmingly repetitive names. The scents, Ricci Ricci ($58) and Couture Couture ($85), are both a little higher end than other offerings from the houses but geared toward young women. While they're both florals with hints of woodiness, their topnotes are very different.
Alicia Silverstone Is Launching Eco Bags and Brushes
Alicia Silverstone has long been an environmental activist, working to support PETA, and a vegan lifestyle. (Her new book, The Kind Diet, which focuses on veganism, hits stores in a couple of months.) Now, the actress is slated to launch an eco-friendly line of makeup brushes and bags for EcoTools this December. The collection features designs of lavender, thyme, rose, and chrysanthemum — all favorites of Alicia's.
YSL Thinks the World Needs More Parisiennes
The Fall fragrance frenzy begins in just about a month, when department stores will be stocked with new scents intended to tempt you. Fragrance makers are hoping you won't be able to resist, particularly because perfume sales were down 7 percent during the first quarter of 2009. It's in this tough market that Yves Saint Laurent.
Coming Soon: Illamasqua Powdered Metals
Due out 13th July is a new face powder from Illamasqua called Powdered Metals (£22). At first glance it looks similar to a bronzer or a large vat of loose shimmer shadow, and actually it's both of these products and a whole lot more! I love it because it's multi-purpose, and in the face of a credit crunch, let's face it, individual beauty products just aren't as practical.
