The Burberry Body Mist is Here!

by

Grant yourself the rare pleasure of spritzing freedom with a luxury fragrance this February that only a mist can deliver with one of the hottest fragrances of the year via the brand new Burberry Body Mist. The limited edition Body Mist ($50 for the 2.8 fl. oz  bottle) just launched on Burberry.com and at leading department stores (such as Saks Fifth Avenue – available now for purchase!) with all that you love and expect from the Burberry Body eau de parfum, but in an alcohol free light formulation that’s perfect for scenting all over your body and hair. We can’t get enough of it over here at FPD, and love that it perfectly balances the line between noticeable and fabulously, fragrantly head turning.

The fragrance is found in the multi-faceted, signature engraved check and embossed logo slender frosted bottle, including top notes of fresh green absinthe, illuminating peach and refined freesia, softer notes of natural rose absolute and iris, and warm tones of sandalwood to form the heart notes. The base includes woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, sensual amber and musk.  Although this makes a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day, self-giving is equally as important! Love the Body Mist? Check out the other offerings including the eau de parfum, eau de parfum Intense, Body Milk, and Body Oil.

Beauty and Accessories Musings for Valentine’s Day

by

What we’ve been testing and attending this week all had a relation to Valentine’s Day; chocolate body delights, and gift giving ideas of jewelry and accessories. See below for the latest:

The Body Shop’s Chocomania line

Just launched this February, The Body Shop has created a new bath and body line that includes 12 community fair trade ingredients such as aloe leaf from Guatamala, coconut from Samoa, and cocoa beans from Ghana. The line ranges in price from $4-$16; shop in-store or  online!

Accessories Council’s Valentine’s Day Event

Accessories Council President Karen Giberson was on board to provideValentine’s Day gift ideas alongside world-renowned astrology expert Susan Miller, who matched gifts with the various signs. My sign, Cancer, had the suggested gift of  Fresh Sugar Lip Polish, which includes real brown sugar crystals to gently buff away dry flakes, meadowfoam seed, jojoba seed, and grapeseed oils to nourish the lips, and shea butter for long-lasting moisture.  This was a great pairing, as it was definitely my favorite (and most-needed) item! other suggestions and products included OPI newest nail polish line, Godiva chocolates, Chicbuds earbuds, CuffLink iPhone carrying case, Jing Ai Skin bronzer, Mavi Eyes cufflinks, and Calvin Klein sunglasses from Marchon.

Folli Follie for Valentine’s Day

Originally from Greece and with hundreds of retailers around the world, it’s easy to see why Folli Follie has become so popular. With style and value at it’s core,  it’s easy to find many items amongst the watches, jewelry, handbags, and small leather goods that you’ll want to take home with you. I visited one of the two New York City locations, the store in SoHo on Prince Street to pick out a fabulous piece of Valentine’s Day jewelry for myself, courtesy of the brand (see above for my chosen ring). Peruse their offerings online or search for a store closest to your neck of the woods.

The Secret to a Good Wax

by

Sometimes what you do before and after a wax can be almost as important as the wax itself. Case in point: a good, regular exfoliation can do wonders for your skin! Annet King, the Director of Global Education at the International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica, told me for my BeautyHigh.com feature that “We lose one million skin cells every forty minutes,” so using a great exfoliant on areas that you regularly have waxed can lift off those dead cells in order to prevent clogging of pores which can cause excess oil, breakouts, sideways growing and ingrown hairs, etc. Following up with an efficient ingrown hair serum to troubled areas can also help break down those cells and relieve your skin of the discomfort and redness that the issue causes.
