BEIGE is a new CHANEL fragrance that can only be found at the Saks Fifth Avenue NYC Flagship Store.  Mind you, this is a “global” exclusive and BEIGE cannot be found anywhere else!

BEIGE, is a soft sensual scent of hawthorn, freesia and frangipani, along with shimmering hints of honey!  It is a “cleaner” less distinctive scent, in sharp contrast to CHANCE or CHANEL no.5.  BEIGE fragrance is a subtle scent and lingers on you throughout the day.  I received several compliments when I gave this new fragrance a whirl around the office!

You can purchase BEIGE directly from Saks Fifth Avenue NYC and is found at the recently renovated CHANEL Fragrance and Beauté counter and by telephone at1-800-363-7538.

Enjoy!

VERY SEXY DARE will make you feel sexy in that oh so good kind of way!  Very Sexy Dare is an uninhibited blend of sparkling blood orange, lush purple freesia and warm grapefruit wood.  This very sexy scent is subtle and not overpowering - it kinda lingers…The bottle is gorgeous but be careful before you spray - the hole where the fragrance mist comes from is rather small and I almost sprayed it in my eyes (I think it is now time for “reading” glasses).

Very Sexy Dare is a great woody citrus scent, certainly something you do not smell everyday.  Top notes include bergamot, blood orange, pineapple juice, tamarind nectar, hazelnut leaf.  Middle notes include yellow jasmine, lily, purple freesia, nutmeg, white peony.  Low notes include grapefruit wood, sandalwood, musk, tonka bean. 

Very Sexy Dare Eau de Parfum is available in three sizes: 3.4 oz, 2.5 oz., 1.0 oz.  Also, this collection includes both a Body Lotion and Body Wash.  The Very Sexy Dare collection can be found at a Victoria’s Secret near you or online. 

I “dare” you to bring out your inner sex kitten!

Just check out this gorgeous new fragrance by KENZO Parfums.  FLOWERBYKENZO - WINTER FLOWERS is the latest edition to a unique line of fragrances.  FLOWERBYKENZO - WINTER FLOWERS will not be available until October, but the wait is so worth it!  The scent is fantastic and the bottle is about the most adorable fragrance bottle I have ever laid my eyes on and will make a lovely addition to my fragrance bottle display.

Top Notes: Mandarin and Violet Leaf

Middle Notes: Camellia and Hellebore Rose

When these notes combine, a nice powdery floral scent emerges.  This eau de parfum reminds me of a “grown-up” baby-soft scent, my first official fragrance during my tween years - there I go again dating myself…

This week I am spotlighting a great skin serum that will not dissapoint.  Perfect Reflection by AminoGenesis is a mega-strength anti-aging serum!  It hydrates, nourishes, and defends your skin from the harmful effects of our environment.  

It comes loaded with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and CoQ10:  

Vitamin A: Improves skin elasticity, texture, firmness and smoothness.
Vitamin C: Protects collagen from oxidation, reduces dark spots, and helps the skin remain soft and supple.
Vitamin D: Helps improve skin feel and texture and is an important factor in epidermal cell turnover.
CoQ10: This element is the spark that helps cells create energy and helps preserve vitamin E.

I not only enjoyed all of the wonderful vitamins and saw that my skin glows and looks better “naked”,  I also liked that the serum melted quickly into my skin and was then ready to absorb my moisturizer.   Lastly, a little bit goes a long way - so for $69.00, the Perfect Reflection will last you a while thus making it a great investment for your skin.

If a pink carnation was the only flower Don McLean’s “lonely teenage broncing buck” had in “Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie,” there was a good reason he was out of luck. The pompom-like flowers made up almost every corsage I ever got in high school, and their clammy blossoms were about as appealing as their straight-from-the-refrigerator temperature. Still, each time I received a carnation, I’d stick my nose into it, hoping for a scent. Each time the petals disappointed.

Well just when you think you have seen it all - think again!  Chanel has outdone itself again!  It has unveiled a new Fragrance and Beauté Counter that can only be found at the one and only Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City…This new counter draws clients into the world of CHANEL with dedicated areas for fragrance, makeup and skincare, so how great is this!

The fragrance area features the debut of the patented “Olfactive Bar” designed by CHANEL deputy perfumer Christopher Sheldrake.  The “Olfactive Bar” houses the 43 fragrance concentrates encompassing the entire range of CHANEL perfumery and an on-site fragrance expert will offer clients an interactive olfactive journey through the house’s extensive fragrance offerings. 

An extensive makeup and skincare area offers customers a luxurious environment to explore the products with the assistance of a CHANEL Beauté expert. Eight generously sized makeup artist stations invite the customer to interact with the products while a VIP consultation room features a luxurious area for a personalized consultation or private makeup application. The consultation room also features the signature “Miroir Lumiere” light box mirror, exclusive to CHANEL to mimic natural light from day to evening in spring, summer and winter seasons. 

Lastly, Inspired by the overwhelming success of the SUBLIMAGE anti-aging franchise, customers will have the opportunity to experience and learn about these best-selling products within the dedicated skincare area. Two seated skincare consultation areas allow clients to discover the CHANEL Précision skincare range and diagnose their individual needs.

The new Fragrance and Beauté Bar are a must-see for all of you “CHANEL” girls out there!  Not a CHANEL girl yet - this new concept could make you into one! 

So who are my CHANEL girls out there?  Will this be a must see for you as well?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and too many of our Mother’s, Sister’s, Friend’s, and other Family members (including men) have experienced this horrible disease first hand…Now how can we as consumers help out in this fight?  Many of the companies that we buy Fragrances, Make-up, Bath & Body products from, will be selling specific products from their various lines with proceeds going towards a cure for Breast Cancer.  We as consumers can go and purchase these products - think of it as a special gift for yourself or for a loved one.  I plan to spotlight a few of these products for you and where you may purchase them.  So start saving those extra pennies and consider giving to a worthy cause!

I just love ANGEL by Thierry Mugler, the scents are a great twist of something a little spicy and sweet.  The unforgettable scent will invoke memories of cotton candy, marshmallow, and toasted almonds as it did for ANGEL creator Thierry Mugler…

Now an old friend of mine also wears ANGEL, and I swear it smells sweeter on her, than me.  I have actually thought I caught the note of chocolate when she wears it.  Now when I wear it, ANGEL tends to come off as more of a spicy scent rather than sweet. 

Notes from ANGEL include: Bergamot, Hedione, Helional, Honey, Dewberry, Red Berries, Vanilla, Caramel, Patchouli, Chocolate, Coumarin.  The collection includes a variety Eau de Parfum Sprays, Bath & Body products including - shower gel, powder, body cream, and a hair mist (which is one of my favorites!). 

There is an angel in all of us just waiting to come out…
