Givenchy Play for Men

Givenchy's latest fragrance for men, :))
All know that the fragrances for men of Givenchy has alway been unique, elegant .. and Play, is packaged in an iPod-style bottle, complete with "forward" and "rewind" bottles. The scent features notes of bergamot, vetiver, mandarin and pink pepper, which lend a musky, masculine edge.

Even better, Justin Timberlake is the charismatic face of the fragrance and recorded a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot for the campaign - think jets, sports cars and Justin doing his thing in moody black and white shots.

Beauty Mistakes

Beauty Mistakes We've All Made

I have read very nice article about the mistakes we've made, so please read it very carefully.

A few makeup mistakes I've seen friends, my mom, myself and a few people on the subway make:

1. We apply eyeshadow with our fingertips. Don't use your fingers and don't use the cheapie sponge-y thing that comes with your makeup. Instead, invest in an eyeshadow brush. It's worth the $10-$40 and could last your lifetime.

2. We over apply foundation. I've seen women apply tinted moisturizer as a base and then apply foundation over it. Tinted moisturizer acts as a (light and sheer) foundation. You don't need both.

3. We buy foundations and lipsticks at drugstores We all have a "bad shade" drawer -- a bag or drawer of makeup full of wrong shades we bought but couldn't return. Always try before you buy foundations and lipsticks at a department store such as Sephora. You'll save money in the end.

4. We leave the house with dripping wet hair. Yes, curls should air dry. Yes, that can take forever. So do it the night before, or wake up early. Or use a diffuser on your hair dryer or roll your wet hair into a bun. But please do not go out into public with a dripping wet head.

A Sad Farewell

We will miss you Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent!

The fashion world will take time out to remember Yves Saint Laurent today as the funeral of the legendary designer, who died on Sunday evening,(who succumbed to a brain tumour, aged 71,) is held this afternoon in Paris.

Stefano Pilati, Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Sonia and Nathalie Rykiel, Kenzo Takada, Valentino and Riccardo Tisci - as well as Saint Laurent's long-time business partner and confidante, Pierre Berge - are expected to be among the several hundred mourners attending the invitation-only service at Paris' Saint-Roch church on the Rue Saint-Honore.

Saint Laurent will be cremated and his ashes flown to a botanical garden in Marrakesh, Morocco, which borders a home he and Berge owned there.

Dunhill London

A Masculine and Elegance Fragrance by Dunhill

Dunhill London
Eau De Toilette Spray 50ml/
Eau De Toilette Spray 100ml/

This fragrance is rich, dark and surprisingly fruity. It represents modern, masculine elegance through a distinctive combination of iconic British appeal and understated sophistication, with charismatic orientals for the quintessential modern gentleman.

It is not a new fragrance but this is one of the fragrances that I like so I just wanted to publish a post for it :) Especially If you like to smell the orientals notes, believe me you will love it ...
No doubt Dunhill London will be classic fragrance for men...
