After honeymooning in Hawaii this past July and falling in love with the tastes and smells of the tropical paradise, as the weather draws colder, I can’t help of think of ways to bring myself back to that magical place by infusing some of the most identifiable aromas of Hawaii into my daily life.

 

I foresee these scents becoming wildly popular in the near future, but in the meanwhile, ingredients and fragrances such as plumeria (frangipani) and coconut have been much harder to track down, stateside, than I thought! See the slideshow above for my top picks that smell heavenly and work wonderfully, including NIVEA, Bath & Body Works, Michael Kors, Joey New York, and more.

NIVEA Keeps My Legs Subtly Spectacular

by Julia DiNardo

After recently suffering a humiliating, yet hilarious “tancident,” which basically resulted in user error in application and color selection, I decided that it was time to find a self-tanning product that gradually produced a subtle glow, instead of a remarkably darker aesthetic, which also left a LOT of room for highly visible mistakes. All I ever wanted was some color on my legs, which never seems to happen, and always feel so ghastly pale to me. After testing a few gradual tanners, the best bet, for results AND value, ended up being extremely easy to identify. NIVEA’s Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs, about $7.99, in the hue of fair to medium skin seemed to be created specifically for my dilemma, as it gradually produces the slightest change in tone, without staining my hands, or any fabric I come into contact with after application.

Did You Show a Little PDA on June 20th?

by Julia DiNardo

Kisses, kisses! Remember when we wished you all a Happy PDA Day, with NIVEA Million Moments of Touch this past June 20th? I hope you partook in the event in your way, in some capacity, and continue to do so! Just in case a refresher is in order, NIVEA’s National PDA Day celebration is part of the year-long Million Moments of Touch Movement, which started last February and to-date, 100,000+ consumers have pledged to kiss, touch and hug more frequently! After conducting a study on human connections and coming to the alarming revelation that we, as a society suffer from “skin hunger” – a desire for more touch and human connection than they currently receive, NIVEA made it their new yearly m.o.  With the goal of making our world a more affectionate place through touch (holding hands, kissing, cuddling, etc), now one NIVEA “Touch” happens about every 10 seconds across the country. Pretty cool, huh?

In order to get this jump-started, NIVEA celebrated in 11 cities across the country (Columbus, OH; Chicago, IL; Seattle WA; Austin, TX; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Atlanta, GA; Phoenix, AZ; San Francisco, CA, Oklahoma City, OK.; NYC, NY; and Los Angeles, CA) via events, games, products, and more. Did you see them in your city? It debuted in my home of New York City, in which couples were invited to Herald Square for a super cute “coffee and a cuddle” themed “morning date,” orchestrated by talk show host Wendy Williams, while Bill and Giuliana Rancic joined in for PDA Day games, followed by a concert by Ne-Yo. Next up, the foursome went to the Grove (pictured at top) in L.A., all on PDA Day, for more celebrations and another concert!


What a great message and event to be a part of this summer! On behalf of Fashion Pulse Daily, I’m glad to provide this information to you, in the hopes that you’ll make a more conscientious pro-PDA choice! And last, I wanted to share a few of my fave NIVEA products with you for softer, more kissable, caress-able skin.

Here are FPD’s tested and loved top three products (P.S. — Upload your best PDA Moment here and NIVEA will send you a coupon to redeem your NIVEA Lip Care Product of choice!) :

  • NIVEA’s Extended Moisture Body Lotion, has a powerful, fast-absorbing lotion featuring patent-pending HYDRA IQ technology that is proven to work for 48 hours. The
  • NIVEA Kiss of Shimmer Radiant Lip Care SPF 10 enhances the natural beauty of lips.  It leaves a glamorous, pearly shine while providing long-lasting moisturization and sun protection with SPF 10.  It’s enriched with Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil to keep lips soft, smooth and kissable.
  • NIVEA Touch of Renewal Lathering Body Scrub featuring HYDRA IQ technology delivers an incredible balance of exfoliation, rich cleansing and moisturizing lather that leaves skin feeling irresistibly soft and touchably beautiful. The Hydra IQ technology helps provide intense, long-lasting moisturization throughout the day.

NIVEA Puts a Lid on It with The “Kiss of Style” Cap Contest, Feat. Charlotte Ronson

by Julia DiNardo

I recently went to NIVEA‘s first ever “Kiss of Style” Cap Contest at the Bryant Park Hotel, a project for consumers to bring out their inner designer and help NIVEA design a new package design. The skin care brand teamed up with womenswear designer Charlotte Ronson (aka one of the coolest chicks on the planet), who designed her own “Kiss of Moisture” cap (pictured above). To get started, all you have to do is log on to facebook.com/USA to start customizing. Ronson and a panel of 10 other judges will select the top 10 design finalists.

The contest is open NOW, so get designing! The deadline submission is August 22nd and the winner will be announced September 5th. The winning design will be available wherever NIVEA products are sold. The event also featured a contest where guests could spin the wheel and if it landed on a certain word they could win a Charlotte Ronson Fall 2012 outfit not even available in stores yet. Guess what? yours truly won a top from her collection! Nice!
