Elizabeth Arden Hopes You'll Feel Pretty
Everything about Elizabeth Arden's new soft floral fragrance is ultrafeminine, from the pink packaging to the perfume's name. Even the glass bottle's silhouette is inspired by a bud vase with the cap depicting a floral image.
Elizabeth Arden's new Pretty Eau de Parfum Spray ($49 to $62) is formulated with petalia, a new fragrance molecule that smells like, well, a petal.
Get the Look: Elizabeth Arden's "Pretty"
I've been coveting the look of the new print ads for Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance, Pretty. The vibrant flowering wallpaper in the background is over-the-top glam, as is the silk-upholstered loveseat. The print ad definitely borrows from Sofia Coppola's film, pushing a Marie Antoinette vibe.
Love it or Hate it: Konnie Huq
Today's date is 08.08.08 which is a special occasion as the number '8' is believed to bring great fortune. It's a good day for Elizabeth Arden to promote their 8 hour cream so they're giving away samples at their counters across the country. They also threw a party in London last night to mark the date and Konnie Huq was there to help them celebrate.
How-To: Try to Trump Naomi Watts' Makeup Look
Donald Trump has a new hotel in Dubai, and Naomi Watts toasted its launch while wearing beautiful and polished makeup. As usual, she managed to stand out among all of the lovely ladies in attendance. Her skin was creamy, smooth and enhanced with a touch of pink blush.
New Product Alert: Apples & Pears Lip Balms
I'm always on the hunt for new lip balms and was delighted to discover the sweet, homely company Apples & Pears. Apples & Pears Apiaries is a small beekeeping business dedicated to making natural and organic skincare products from one of the oldest beauty treatments in history – beeswax and honey.
They have recently launched three lip balms (£10.50 each) - Wild Rose for daily protection, Calendula for sore, dry lips and Beeswax lip balm for sensitive lips.
What A Pair: Dual-Ended Mascara
OK, so the concept of double-sided mascara isn't entirely novel. But after checking out Two-Timer Mascara from The Balm, I thoroughly enjoy having two options in one product to choose from. After a shopping trip, I noticed that more and more of these mascara pairs are being developed and I'm pretty stoked about it.
Check Out the Elizabeth Arden Vending Machine
This weekend, I was dodging the crazy crowds at a shopping center in San Francisco. As I was on my way out, I ran across this large Elizabeth Arden vending machine. Selling items through vending machines is nothing new in the tech world, and for that matter, it's pretty common in Japan.

Inside the World of Celebrity Scents
Eighty-four percent of you say you're sick of celebrity fragrances, but you must be anomalies—because celeb perfumes are selling like crazy. Some of the interesting bits from the story:
- There's big bucks in this business. Euromonitor International, a Chicago-based market research firm, reports that worldwide sales of the top seven celebrity scent lines—just the top seven!—totaled $353.6 million last year.
- Diddy's sitting pretty.
