Lancôme Magnifique & Spokesmodel Anne Hathaway
Lancôme has unveiled its new major feminine fragrance in grand style at the Grand Palais in Paris on June 10th 2008. A gotha of beauty professionals gathered to discover the new creation called Magnifique while the notes of “C’est Magnifique” by Cole Porter played in the air. Actress Anne Hathaway is the spokesperson for the fragrance.
The name of the fragrance is a reference to a feminist ad campaign that was launched last year by the brand to promote images of successful women and which is fronted by Juliette Binoche and Elsa Morante. A community platform website has been set up also at www.magnifique-women.com to encourage participation from consumers.
A global roll-out is planned for September 2008. (via: The Scented Salamnder).

Eva Mendes And Calvin Klein Secret Obsession Perfume
Calvin Klein will launch Secret Obsession, a new fragrance for women fronted by Eva Mendes, this coming September.
Calvin Klein Secret Obsession Perfume isn’t launching till fall, but Secret Obsession is available now at Macy’s.com. This is the only place you can get the fragrance before it’s on-counter.
The Secret Obsession fragrance is a floriental with no relationship to the original Calvin Klein Obsession scent other than the name and the steamy advertising (the television spot has apparently been nixed by network censors).
According to a Coty representative: Obsession put Calvin Klein on the map in 1985 and continues to be an integral piece of the brand portfolio…While Obsession epitomized the overt glamour and sexuality of the Eighties, Secret Obsession will become the meaning of what is sexy today - more personal, sophisticated and intoxicating. Eva Mendes is a reflection of how things have changed over the past 20 years.”
Secret Obsession’s notes include exotic plum, mace, rose de damas, jasmine, orange flower, tuberose, cashmere woods, burnt amber, vanilla and sandalwood.

Stars Without Makeup
  |
Most of the time when celebrities are photographed, it’s after a team of hairstylists and makeup artists have groomed every inch of them, making them appear flawless (photo retouching helps too). But sometimes we get a snapshot of them without their hair and makeup done and the results are, well, a relief. They’re not perfect, as this gallery shows; in fact, they struggle with the same skin issues — acne, wrinkles — that we all do. Hallelujah! …More |
