February 2010

Well, it really was bound to happen. With American Apparel launching their own line of nail lacquers to Target and Walmart expanding their beauty offerings, you knew it wouldn't be long since the fashion-forward Kate Moss-inspired clothing store TopShop started offering cosmetics. The news broke in today's edition of WWD, and in a nutshell, the beauty offerings will come in two varieties: a core line (97 skus), and a seasonally inspired line. TopShop Cosmetics Line The pencil line etchings on the outerwear of the packaging gives you a doodled version of the contents inside. So Le Petit Prince and kids books in a way, where there's a certain glamor to the naivete of the packaging.

No one expects a crop of heavy perfume for spring and summer, but the perfumers have outdone themselves to bring to life fruity florals with unexpected notes like tomato leaf and green tea. Sambac jasmine, patchouli, and musk also make appearances in more than one product. I recently sampled the latest olfactory offerings. I might have been lying in a field of artistically arranged wildflowers. Aqua di Parma\'s Blu Mediterraneo new scent, Begamotto di Calabria For an intense burst of sunshine, Aqua di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo new scent, Bergamotto di Calabria. This eau de toilette with top notes of bergamot (surprise,) a middle of cedar wood and red ginger, and a base of vetiver, Benzoin, and musk made me want to curl up and take a nap in an orange grove. It's available at sephora.com in 60ml ($70) and 120ml ($106), as well as a soft body cream ($67) for layering. Givenchy Le Secret Givenchy has debuted an alluring segment to its Ange ou Demon collection with Le Secret. While definitely coming down on the "Ange" side of fence, this innovative floral uses its top notes of Italian winter lemon, cranberry, and green tea leaves to make a fresh impression. The heart of sambac jasmine, white peony, and water flowers flows seamlessly into the base of blond woods, patchouli, and white musk. This eau de parfum comes as 30ml ($51,) 50ml ($73,) and 100ml ($95,) at Macy's, Dillard's, Sephora, and GivenchyBeauty.com.
