The new scent that is aptly named Nicole Miller is a bold mix of heavenly aromas. It is invoked with notes of yellow gardenia, cassis sorbet, black patchouli, cedar, ylang ylang and amber- just to name a few. The fragrance is light and airy enough for a Spring stroll through Central Park and sweet enough for a date night out on the town.

We love the complementary Sheer Fragrance Mist ($22), a Body Softening Lotion ($20) and the solid perfume beaded bracelet ($20).

We also had the good fortune to interview Australian model Miranda Kerr, one of the Catalog Angels. Here's what she has to say about the perfume. She was also the face of a previous launch of the Heavenly Bloom Fragrance.

Along the same lines, French fragrance house Histoires de Parfums has given tuberose three contemporary personalities with the launch of its Tuberose Trilogy, which combines the perfume of the flower with different middle and base notes to create three distinct scents.
A couple of weeks ago, we heard about a new makeup line and asked for samples to try (yes, it's a rough life). We were told they had only one sample set—and it had been touched (code word: contaminated!) by other people. So there was...
As Earth Day turns 40, Lancome's Juicy Tubes turns 10 years old. Happy Birthday (or un-birthday, if you've been watching too much Alice as I have) to both our generous planet and to Lancome Juicy Tubes! We've been huge fans of the Juicy Tubes ever since...

Like Philosophy’s Miracle Worker systems, the Antioxidant Fresh Serum comes in two separate containers that you, the consumer, combine and then refrigerate for maximum freshness. Because the serum contains 10% vitamin C and no preservatives, this refrigeration is crucial to maintaining the product’s effectiveness. I also imagine it would feel awfully good to smooth in on to sunburned skin, not that any of your plan on getting sunburned ever again.

The complementing moisturizer, Pro-Youth Antioxidant 24Hour Hydrating Fluid SPF 12, contains the same ingredients as the serum, but also uses Vichy’s signature thermal water full of rare minerals to offer the skin 24 hours of hydration with each application. A word of caution: If you plan on extended time in the sun, put on a sun block with a little more muscle. Finally, the Anti-Fatigue Ice-Effect Eye Stick delivers these benefits to your eyes in a compact container that immediately chills a puffy eye area.

We're excited about the Skinceuticals new Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50, which is a brand new first-to-market mattifying fluid that provides a sheer protection for all skin types (even the super sensitive).
It offers the protection of a broad spectrum of PHYSICAL filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) instead of the typical CHEMICAL filters that sunscreens employ. There have also been some studies that link UVA and UVB rays to osteoporosis, so as the summer season rolls around, it pays to be religious to the point of fanatical about sunscreen.
I'll admit, every time I think of The Hills, that great number by Natasha Bedingfield does such a number in my head: "I'm staring at the blank page...
