Purr by Katy Perry

Known for her sophisticated yet playful personal style and envelope-pushing lyrics, platinum-selling recording artist Katy Perry is set to extend her brand into beauty with the launch of her first fragrance, Purr by Katy Perry, to be sold exclusively at Nordstrom, in-store and online at Nordstrom.com, beginning this November.

Teaming with Gigantic Parfums, Perry was deeply involved in the development of her signature scent. Purr by Katy Perry opens with a fresh citrus accord featuring peach nectar and forbidden apple with green bamboo.  Supporting notes include a delicate bouquet of jasmine blossom, pink freesia and Bulgarian rose, balanced by vanilla orchid, white amber, creamy sandalwood and musk.  “I’m absolutely thrilled to finally introduce me in a bottle. There is a wonderful world of fragrances out there, but like with my music, I believe there is room for me and my own unique twist on it. Purr is a natural extension of who I am as a woman – it’s a gorgeous blend of all my favorite scents that embodies my style, my tastes and my love for all things incredibly cute. It is an absolutely purrfect perfume that I hope leaves you meowing with delight!” explains Perry.

The singer-songwriter was also hands-on in the design of the bottle. Having appeared on stage dressed as Catwoman along with an oversize blow-up cat, it’s no secret that Perry has an affinity for all things feline.  She used this inspiration when designing the bottle for Purr by Katy Perry, complete with jeweled eyes, metallic accents and opulent lavender coloring.

“Distilling Katy’s personal style for her own fragrance was the ultimate goal. Katy worked with our perfumers to capture the distinctive notes of her favorite perfumes and hand-sketched the bottle design by herself. Her vision is what brought us here today, and Purr by Katy Perry stands as a delicious reflection of her unique personality: confident, sexy, and just a lot of fun,” said Isaac Lekach, CEO of Gigantic Parfums.

Natio – Berry Beautiful Collection

Berry Beautiful
make-up must-haves to mix, match, and make your own

The approach of a new season presents an exciting opportunity to explore new looks. After a summer of minimal makeup, pastels and nudes, it is time to be boldly berry inspired. As seen on the international runways, Natio’s new Berry Beautiful limited edition colour collection captures the major beauty trend this autumn/winter. Featuring two mineral palettes, nail and lip colours and a liquid eyeliner, these makeup must-haves showcase a timeless, on-trend palette of ripe plum, cherry red, soft pink and warm earthy tones. All you need to master the rich sophistication characteristic of the colder, darker seasons.

All About Berry: hints for day and night statement looks
Natio Berry Beautiful combines top-selling shades with brand new natural hues of soft and deep berries. The expertly matched palettes make it easy to translate the catwalk trend into wearable looks for day and night whether you want to think big or start small. The key to making the look your own is to mix and match: “Trends should inspire, not dictate your look. With Natio Berry Beautiful you can add just an accent of berry with cherry red nails or subtle plum lips. Or go all in with a statement look of deep berry evening glamour”, says Natio make-up artist, Linda Riddell.

As part of the collection, Natio is launching its first ever all-in-one palettes with three mineral eyeshadows, mineral blusher and bronzer, and three mineral lip glosses. Each palette contains eight harmonious berry inspired colours to suit all ages and skin tones. The purse sized compact includes applicators and a built-in mirror, making it extra convenient for both home and handbag. The Soft Berry Palette offers berry pastels for fresh natural day looks, while the Deep Berry Palette is ideal for creating intense evening looks. Finally, the collection introduces a Liquid Eye Liner in Midnight Berry (dark navy) with an exceptional new felt tip for precise application.

Berry Tutorial: get the look
With Berry Beautiful, Natio has designed the perfect palette to enable women to have fun and experiment with berry and plum colours. For inspiration, Linda Riddell shares her professional tips to mastering the casual and glamorous berry looks: “Natio’s Berry Beautiful collection encourages creativity; you can play around with carefully selected colours and textures to find the best combination for your personal style. My only rule of thumb is to balance your look by combining dramatic eyes with more neutral lips and vice versa.”

Create the romantically fresh Soft Berry look
This pastel day look is a great introduction to the colourful world of berry.
Key product: Natio Mineral Colour Palette in Soft Berry.

1.    Apply your favourite Natio foundation or tinted moisturiser for a flawless complexion.
2.    Create a soft glow by lightly applying bronzer from cheeks to temples with circular motions.
3.    Apply Blusher to the apples of the cheeks.
4.    Dust the light eyeshadow (creamy taupe) over lid and brow bone area to highlight and enhance.
5.    Define eyes by covering eyelid with the medium eyeshadow (soft pink).
6.    Colour the outer corners and close to the lower lashes with the dark shade (mocha) for contrast.
7.    For a soft, romantic look, gently smudge and blend the eyeshadow colours using a clean brush.
8.    Finish off with Super Long Lash Mascara, applying a couple of extra coats to the outer corners of the eye lashes to open the eyes.
9.    Choose your favourite lip gloss (soft honey peach, light pink, or sheer honey bronze).
10.    Complete the look with Berry You Nail Colour.
11.    TIP: Going out for lunch? Replace your lip gloss with Baby Berry Lip Colour.

Create the dramatically glamorous Deep Berry look
This look is all about making a statement with bold deep berry lips and liquid lined eyes.
Key products: Velvet Berry Lip Colour and Midnight Berry Liquid Eye Liner plus Mineral Colour Palette in Deep Berry for base.

5.    Holding the eyelid taut and using quick short strokes, apply Liquid Eye Liner as close to the top lashes as possible to accentuate eyes.

7.    Smooth on Velvet Berry Lip Colour.
8.    Complete the look with Very Berry Nail Colour.
9.    TIP: Special occasion? Create an elegant ‘cat eye’ by extending the Liquid Eye Liner into a slight curve at the outer corner of the eye. Imagine that the direction of the curve extends from the lower lash line up towards the end of the brow – with the actual curve being only ½ to 1 cm.
10.    TIP: Intensify the Lip Colour by mixing in your combination of lip gloss shades from the palette.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara

ESTÉE LAUDER INTRODUCES SUMPTUOUS EXTREME MASCARA
For Over-the-Top Mega-Volume Lashes with Zero-Clumping

Introducing the next generation of the Estée Lauder Sumptuous mascara franchise – Sumptuous Extreme is for the lash extremist! Lashes are magnified and multiplied with one swipe, making eyes look outrageously big and amazingly bold. Make a high-impact statement with your lashes, and everyone will wonder ‘are those lashes real?’

What makes Sumptuous Extreme extremely volumising? It’s the synergy of the lightweight Extreme Bold Volume™ formula, a special blend of three customised lash building fibers, and the exclusive Extreme BrushComber™.

Over-the-Top Brush for Over-the-Top Lashes
Making a bold statement calls for an attention grabbing brush! Estée Lauder has developed the exclusive Extreme BrushComber™ – a big brush in a new shape that gives you all the thickening of a brush with the definition of a comb. The brush holds more mascara, which means it will magnify and multiply lashes by delivering additional product and performance. The triangle cut is easy to use and reaches every corner of your lashes despite its big size.

Extreme Bold Volume™ Formula
This mousse-like formula contains a calculated blend of light-weight gels, polymers, waxes and pigments that create lightweight volume without clumping. A new blend of hybrid powders made of different sizes, spherical Silica and plates of Mica, maximizes volume to the extreme.

The Tri-blend Multiplying Fibers – exclusive to Estée Lauder – act like lash extensions – filling in even the sparsest of lashes – to instantly magnify and multiply the look of lashes. Three fibers create unprecedented volume to each individual lash:

-    NEW Hollow Tube Fiber (Continuous Curl and Length) – This new flexible fiber is hollow in the middle so it won’t weigh lashes down, providing the largest volume at the lightest weight.

-    NEW Solid Rod Fiber (Volume and Length) – Lightweight short, dense fibers that fill in between lashes and work as additional lashes. The brush stretches the fibers to create added length and volume to each individual lash.

-    Micro-Locking Fiber (Thickening and Length) – Fibers are configured in the unconventional shape of the letter ‘Y’ that interlocks and stacks on top of each other like building blocks to create maximized length and volume. Fibers are specially treated and coated with carbon black to deliver extreme color impact.

A special blend of matte micas enriched with super black pigments, combined with illuminatrix pearls, work to capture light and enhance pigment intensity to give lashes rich shine and high drama. Lashes illuminate with extreme sophistication – never dull or dry!

Beautiful lashes begin with healthy lashes. The Lash-Advancing Vitamin Complex is enriched with Panthenol (Vitamin B5) to condition lashes, and the powerful naturally derived antioxidant Rosemary helps to protect lashes against damages from environmental assault. Lashes are supple and flexible– never brittle.

Sumptuous Extreme Mascara is fragrance free, ophthalmologist tested, and appropriate for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Easily remove the mascara with makeup remover, such as Estée Lauder’s Take It Away Total Makeup Remover.

Sumptuous Extreme Mascara will deliver daring and dramatic lashes and is available in four expressive shades of Extreme Black, Extreme Brown, Extreme Indigo and Extreme Violet beginning May 8, 2011 at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide and online at www.esteelauder.com.au .

Estee Lauder Time Zone Eye Anti-Line/Anti-Wrinkle Eye Creme

ESTÉE LAUDER INTRODUCES
TIME ZONE ANTI-LINE/WRINKLE EYE CREME

Powerful Proprietary Technologies Lead to Proven Visible Age Appearance Reversal in the Eye Area

Estée Lauder broke new ground in skincare science with the introduction of Time Zone Line and Wrinkle Reducing Moisturiser, the first moisturiser developed to target and measurably reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and help skin to look younger. Today, again inspired by the revolutionary science of cellular regeneration, Estée Lauder introduces the latest addition to the Time Zone franchise with its most age defying eye creme yet. Time Zone Anti-Line/Wrinkle Eye Creme features exclusive, advanced anti-wrinkle technologies that help dramatically diminish the look of lines and wrinkles, improving the appearance of key signs of aging around the eye area for a years-younger look.

On average, skin around the eyes is 4 times thinner than skin on the rest of the face and has few oil glands, leaving this delicate area especially vulnerable to moisture loss and environmental aggressors. This lower resistance to everyday stresses means that skin around the eye area tends to accumulate more cellular damage than the rest of the face which leads to a faster appearance of aging. Time Zone Anti-Line/Wrinkle Eye Creme dramatically reduces the appearance of the key visible signs of aging around the eye area with three powerful anti-wrinkle technologies: Sirtuin EX-1 Technology, a NEW concentrated Tri-Hyaluronic Complex and a NEW Biomimetic Barrier Complex. Time Zone Anti-Line/Wrinkle Eye Creme is so effective that in laboratory testing every single woman tested after continuous use showed a reduction in the look of lines and wrinkles around the eyes in just 4 weeks.

EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO REVERSE THE VISIBLE SIGNS OF AGING:
Sirtuin EX-1 Technology
First used in Time Zone Line and Wrinkle Reducing Moisturizers, Estée Lauder developed exclusive Sirtuin EX-1 Technology to help skin protect its natural stimulation of proteins, thereby allowing skin to renew its innate ability to withstand daily assaults. Featuring a patented anti-aging extract derived from rice, Sirtuin EX-1 Technology helps skin increase its natural resistance to daily stress and allows it to optimally utilize other key ingredients. It also helps skin rediscover the look of its younger days to help improve and resist visible signs of aging around the eyes.

NEW Concentrated Tri-Hyaluronic Complex
Especially formulated for the eye area, a NEW concentrated Tri-Hyaluronic Complex enhances hydration and plumps and smoothes the look of thin, fragile skin around the eye.  With 5x more concentration in the eye creme, skin can naturally produce more Hyaluronic Acid*. With continued use it works to intensively replenish, rebuild and sustain an ideal moist environment for virtually lineless, youthful looking eyes. The concentrated Tri-Hyaluronic Complex includes:
▪  High Molecular Weight (H.M.W.) Hyaluronic Acid: Replenishes
NEW – 5x concentrated! The classic “moisture magnet,” H.M.W. Hyaluronic Acid works from the “outside in” to immediately quench the dry, dehydrated eye area with long-lasting moisture. The large molecular size remains at skin’s surface, where it binds moisture. Instantly, skin feels more comfortable.  Skin looks plumped and toned easing the look of fine lines.

▪  Hyaluronic Acid Fragments: Rebuilds
NEW – 5x concentrated! Protects skin to allow natural production of its own Hyaluronic Acid creating moisture from within that helps fill the look of deeper lines with a naturally volumized effect.

▪  Anti-Hyaluronidase Technology (Centaury Extract): Sustains
By protecting Hyaluronic Acid from Hyaluronidase (a natural enzyme that breaks down Hyaluronic Acid), Estée Lauder’s Anti-Hyaluronidase Technology helps maintain an optimal moisture balance and maximize the anti-wrinkle effects of Hyaluronic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid Fragments.

NEW Biomimetic Barrier Complex
A NEW Biomimetic Barrier Complex contains a special blend of phospholipids, fatty acids, triglycerides, sterols and ceramides designed to mimic skin’s own lipids to smooth and help protect the fragile skin surface around the eyes. It helps rebuild and maintain skin’s natural protective moisture barrier and helps restore the ideal moisture balance, strengthening the delicate eye-area’s resistance to daily aggressors that can accelerate the signs of aging.

The powerful combination of Sirtuin EX-1 Technology, a NEW concentrated Tri-Hyaluronic Complex and a NEW Biomimetic Barrier Complex pinpoints and dramatically diminishes the look of key eye area concerns to dramatically improve the appearance of measured age. With continued use, skin around the delicate eye area will look visibly younger, radiant, and less lined.

Time Zone Anti-Line/Wrinkle Eye Creme has been designed with a modern, universally appealing creme texture that glides on easily without pulling or tugging. Skin around the eyes is left feeling hydrated and silky-smooth, while subtle optics provide immediate radiance.

USAGE:
Apply 2x per day to clean skin. Pat gently all around the eye area. Safe for use on eyelids. Dermatologist tested, Ophthalmologist tested and Fragrance-free.

Suggested Retail Price:  15ml RRP $88.00

Estee Lauder Revelation Age-Resisting Brightening Creme

Estée Lauder Introduces Revelation Age-Resisting Brightening Crème
With a Triple Vitamin-C Cocktail to Boost Radiance, Even Skin Tone and Reduce Appearance of Fine Lines

New findings reveal that uneven skin tone alone can add an average of 10 to 15 years to a women’s perceived age — even in the absence of visible lines and wrinkles.  In other words, when photos of women’s faces were airbrushed to remove certain imperfections, the faces with more even skin tone were overwhelmingly judged to be younger by participants.

Always at the forefront of advances in skincare science, Estée Lauder introduces Revelation – a lightweight yet powerful daily moisturizer designed to counter the onslaught of environmental events that can lead to the first visible signs of premature skin aging.  Formulated with an exclusive triple Vitamin-C cocktail amplified by sophisticated skin-clarifying enzyme technology and next generation optics, Revelation helps protect against environmental damage that can lead to the first signs of aging.  It also works to brighten skin tone and help skin boost its natural collagen stores to help smooth out the appearance of fine lines.

A Primer on Vitamin C

Not all vitamin C is created equally. Different sources can have different benefits for the skin.  Unfortunately, humans, unlike other mammals, can’t manufacture vitamin C internally. Thus, we need to rely on our diet or supplementation to obtain optimum stores required for healthy looking skin.

The body deploys vitamin C reserves to the critical functions first, directing whatever’s left over to the skin.  This short supply can leave the skin chronically deficient in vitamin C — and therefore more susceptible to countless daily assaults that can compromise its healthy functioning and appearance

“For years we’ve seen the benefits of vitamin C in skincare, but mainly in terms of its protective role against environmental assaults,” says Dr. Daniel Maes, Senior Vice President, Research & Development, Estée Lauder Companies Worldwide.  “What we’ve come to learn however is that vitamin C is absolutely essential for helping skin maintain a healthy and youthful look, naturally build collagen stores and contribute a more even skin tone appearance.”
Revelation goes beyond hydration and protection, filling an important gap in our skincare portfolio,” explains Lise Jorgensen, Vice President, Skincare Product Development Worldwide. “This product is for a woman who’s beginning to detect a change in her skin — a dullness, freckling, the onset of fine lines — and who is looking for a bit more muscle from her daily moisturizer to keep her looking fresh and radiant while protecting her from everyday stressors that can contribute to uneven skin tone and accelerate the appearance of skin aging.”

Renewing Vitality

Revelation is built around an exclusive combination of three different types of vitamin C that together provide a powerful first line of defense against the first visible signs of skin aging — to re-balance visible skin tone, fight the appearance of fine lines and help  skin perform at its peak when used twice daily — in essence, renewing skin’s vitality:

•    Ascorbyl Glucoside — is a stabilized, water soluble form of vitamin C that helps reduce the appearance of age spots.  Because it’s delivered to the skin in a time-released way it helps contribute and maintain a brighter, more even-toned look over time.

•    Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate — helps skin maintain its elasticity — and natural support structure — by helping it sustain its natural collagen synthesis.  This form of vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.

•    Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate — this unique, bio-available, lipid-soluble form of vitamin C provides powerful anti-oxidant protection at the deepest surface layers of the skin to help stave off environmental damage that can lead to significant visible aging.

Restoring Clarity

Revelation also features an advanced skin clarifying enzyme technology. Derived from yeast, this enzyme technology targets age spots, “shattering” them into tiny particles rendering them virtually “invisible” to the naked eye.

Revealing Amazing Radiance

Rounding out the Revelation formula is a new Photo Optic Technology™ — creating a “photo lattice” effect that manipulates light, illuminating skin with amazing radiance in three important ways:

Reflects light to even skin tone — very fine crystals of mica are coated with a micro-film of titanium dioxide at a specific thickness to yield a silvery-white reflected light to create a brighter, more even-toned look to the skin.

•    Blurs light to soften imperfections — silica spheres then diffuse light, creating a “soft focus” or “blurred” effect that minimizes the appearance of fine surface imperfections.

•    Emits light to brighten shadows — a unique fluorescent micro-sphere actually converts ambient UV light into visible white light. This process illuminates the tiny shadows on the skin’s surface, created by fine lines and uneven texture, which can detract from skin’s overall brightness and call attention to fine lines.  As a result, skin looks lit from within.

Revelation also contains a combination of intensive moisturizers and barrier-boosting lipids that help keep skin optimally hydrated while maintaining balanced moisture levels for youthfully plump and smooth-looking skin.

Revelation whose luscious textures are both comfortable and instantly absorbed, comes in two forms: For Normal/Combination and Dry skin types.  Its refreshing, signature scent comes from a combination of delicate florals including sparkling Bergamot and Lotus Flower, touches of Neroli and Rose and glistening White Jasmine offset by the warmth of sheer Sandalwood.

Dermatologist and ophthalmologist-tested and non-acnegenic, Revelation is recommended for twice daily use, in the morning and evening.  For added benefits, pair with Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher.

Revelation Age-Resisting Brightening Creme is available at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide.

Revelation Dry Creme 30ml                 RRP $68.00

Acqua for Life – Giorgio Armani

Acqua for Life – Giorgio Armani

As of March 1, 2011, Giorgio Armani will be committed to promoting access to drinking water alongside Green Cross International and raise everyone’s awareness of the issue. Giorgio Armani will also support for the second year in the US, the Unicef Tap Water Project.
Centered on the world of Acqua di Gio and Acqua di Gioia, two fragrances inherently in harmony with this theme, a comprehensive and innovative network of support and solidarity has been devised, with a particular focus on the Internet.
Its aim is to meet the “Acqua for Life Challenge” and provide a minimum of 40 million litres worldwide of drinking water to populations without any access to it, primarily children.

“Water is such a simple word, but like all simple words it has a profound significance because where there is safe water, there is life, energy, wellbeing, a serene encounter with nature, and a marvellous sense of freshness.”
Giorgio Armani

UNDERSTAND
Water gives birth to life.
65% of the human body is made up of water.
4/5th of our planet is covered in water.
Only 3% of this is fresh water. Much of it is inaccessible.
When dirty or contaminated, water becomes a threat. Every day, 4,000 children die from water-borne diseases.
This is why Giorgio Armani is now working alongside the non-governmental organisation Green Cross International to make a change and raise everyone’s awareness of the issue.
THINK BIG
“Acqua for Life’s” objective is to provide several tens of millions of litres of drinking water to populations without any access to it. 900 million individuals are still deprived of safe, clean and healthy water for their daily essential needs. Water that is essential for drinking, eating, guaranteeing a minimum of hygiene and maintaining one’s health. The goal is commensurate to the challenge: offering, this year, a minimum of 40 million litres of drinking water to populations in need.
COMMIT
Access to drinking water is the basis for everything. It is the basis for health and food, as well as education, when it is no longer necessary to travel for miles to procure it. From then on, access to drinking water makes anything possible: a better life, a job, the possibility of growing up and escaping from poverty. When Giorgio Armani decided to become involved, he wanted to “tackle the problem at the root”. Long aware of the work carried out by Green Cross International, which strives to meet the interdependent global challenges of peace-keeping, reducing poverty and preventing environmental degradation, Giorgio Armani offered to make two of his most famous fragrances, Acqua di Gio and Acqua di Gioia, the vehicles for the “Acqua For Life” campaign. As of March 1, 2011, every bottle sold will generate a donation of 100 litres of drinking water per year to children and their communities. The participants will then be invited, through a personal code indicated on the outer carton of the chosen fragrance, to extend their action online.
TARGET
Because they are the most vulnerable to water-borne diseases and it is their future that is taken hostage by this uncertain water supply, children will be the primary beneficiaries of the donations collected by the “Acqua For Life” campaign. The operation will initially begin in Ghana, supporting the Smart Water for Green Schools project: In this West African country some 40% of the rural population does not have access to drinking water. The money raised will then be used, over time, to finance similar operations in other countries.
UNITE, ACT & INFORM
Launched, among others, on Twitter on March 1, “Acqua for Life” will reach its height on March 22, World Water Day.
Launched by the United Nations following the Rio Summit in 1992, this annual day aims to raise people’s awareness on a global scale to the scarcity of this resource and the associated problems.
For the purchase of a bottle of Acqua di Gio or Acqua di Gioia, each customer will have the opportunity to double their donation of 100 litres of drinking water by going on the Internet. A special and unique code per carton will allow each person to become a member/founder and create his or her own support group for this operation.

The Facebook application – www.facebook.com/acquaforlife – will allow each participant to create their own community, send their own promotional kit and invite their friends to join the movement. In this way, everyone  shares the awareness-raising message launched and creates a buzz. Via their network, the participants will be able to bring their friends on board through a viral effect. By joining the community created, these friends will automatically donate ten litres of water. More members, the wider the reach, more communities and more funds collected. The statistics available will allow each user to measure the day-to-day activity and development of their community.

The site www.acquaforlifechallenge.org will present the campaign and how the results are progressing, along with all of the issues associated with drinking water in the world. The concrete actions undertaken – drilling, wells, construction of rainwater collection systems, strengthening of the populations’ resources – will also be detailed on the site. This is the “Acqua for Life challenge”, an international solidarity campaign on a global scale.
SUCCEED
“Acqua for Life” is above all a challenge. A challenge initiated by Giorgio Armani himself, enthusiastic and involved, illustrating the convictions of a man for whom well-being, the desire for change and modernity together form an unprecedented commitment. And, for the coming generations, a chance to grow and flourish because they finally have access to pure, clean, hope-giving water.

Hollywood Fashion Tape – Hip Hugger

Hollywood Hip Hugger

Say good-bye to the Big-Belt-Buckle-Bulge, “peek-a-booty,” and t-bar sightings, and say hello to perfect fitting pants! Our one-size belt alternative, which attaches to each side of your belt loops, creates a slim, body-hugging fit. You’ll have an instantly tailored, smooth front and a no-gap back, without expensive tailoring.
Instructions: Attach one end of your Hip Hugger to your side belt loop, feed it through the back loop—adjust the length for a snug fit—and simply clip the other end of the Hip Hugger to the other side belt loop.

RRP $9.95
