Bond No. 9 and Swarovski, innovators in the field of perfume and cut crystal, team up to create Bond No. 9 Swarovski Stars in bestselling Bryant Park, Bleecker Street and Nuits de Noho scents. These three blinged out Bond No. 9 scents sparkle with thousands of Swarovski crystals, so tiny that they shimmer and gleam as one. Bond No. 9 Swarovski Stars Limited-Edition Collectibles will arrive in May, just in time for Mother’s Day.

And for moms on the go — from soccer to socialite — Bond No. 9 offers Swarovski Stars Bon Bons, a chic collection of all three scents plus Eau de New York in crystallized 6ml purse-sprays.

In a word: Brilliant!

From the press release:
Bond No. 9’s three beloved fragrances, Bryant Park, Bleecker Street and Nuits de Noho, will now be available housed in 50ml bottles completely crystallized, like a second skin, with thousands of Swarovski crystals so tiny that together they shimmer and gleam as one. Instead of the classic bottle designs, these Swarovski Stars are covered in one single hue either pink, green or blue. Somehow, the effect manages to be sleek, fun and a bit tabula rasa all at the same time. 50ml for $650

And for the fragrance chameleon, Bond No. 9 offers Swarovski Stars Bon Bons, a collection of all three scents in crystallized 6ml purse-spray sizes (plus Eau de New York in white!). $700

At Bond No. 9 boutiques, 877-273-3369, www.bondno9.com, www.saks.com and Saks Fifth Avenue nationwide.

My Source for Kerastase Hair Products

April 16th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Beauty

My favorite deep conditioning hair treatment of all time is Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense. I find it expensive though so I’ve sought out other alternatives. Lately, my hair has become really dry from hair coloring. Thanks to Closet Therapy, I discovered Hairgume / Hair-World-777, a reputable wholesale dealer in southern France that sells Kerastase salon sized bottles at 40-50% off retail.

Since I hadn’t tried the Chroma Reflect products yet, I got the shampoo (1000 ml) and masque (500 ml) for $105. It was easy to communicate with Hairgume so I also got a 500ml tub of my favorite Masquintense and had shipping combined. I also got a free pump for the shampoo. My shipment arrived in nine days as Hairgume advised (those in the east coast will get their order faster).

As for my hair? It’s soft, glossy and has a radiance that it hasn’t had for awhile now. It has also kept my hair color longer. I just bought a small bottle of Oleo-Relax shampoo (from a local retailer!) to achieve the smoothness that my hair still needs. I also prefer Masquintense over the Chroma Masque. At any rate, I’m glad my hair is getting healthier and that I saved a bit too!

Heatherette for M.A.C.

March 23rd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Beauty

I’ve been so busy lately that the Heatherette for M.A.C. launch a few days ago completely slipped by me. Hopefully, they aren’t sold out in stores yet as Racked reports. They are still available online at MACCosmetics.com and NORDSTROM.com. The lipsticks are going quickly though and they are what I’d like to try out. The shade pictured on the left looks like Twig, my favorite pink M.A.C. lipstick shade. I’ve got to get one! If all else fails, I’ll just stick with my lovely sheer Lancome Pixel Pink this spring. Check out The Daily Obsession’s reviews of her favorites from the collection.

Clarins Beauty Gift

February 24th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Beauty

NORDSTROM.com Shop ClarinsI can’t believe I almost missed this one. Nordstrom is offering a Free Clarins beauty gift with any two-item Clarins purchase online and in stores. I use Clarins UV Plus Protective Day Screen SPF 40 and Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Cream everyday (yes, even when it’s cloudy outside) so I guess it’s about time to stock up while getting some freebies at the same time. The four-piece travel-size skin care products will come in handy for an upcoming trip this summer. Love it!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Ring

January 23rd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Accessories, Fragrances

When Marc Jacobs Daisy launched last year and I took a whiff of the Eau de Toilette Spray, I liked the scent but was not moved enough to get one. But this limited-edition solid perfume ring is just too adorable to pass up! Wear the oversized ring on your finger or as a bag charm while smelling good at the same time. And perfect timing too because florals are big for spring! $30 at Sephora.
