Gwyneth Paltrow looks beautiful as Estee Lauder’s spokeswoman! (Forget the fact that the picture is entirely photoshopped!)

When you find a fragrance you love, you want to wear it forever. Now, Estée Lauder brings you a new addition to the irresistible collection of Pure White Linen fragrances that you can live in all year round. New Pure White Linen Pink Coral is an utterly feminine, tender and peaceful fragrance that gently sweeps over the senses in soft waves, capturing the feeling of being by the ocean at daybreak, just as it is blushed by dawn’s warm light.

With a composition of perfectly blended sea-kissed Apple Blossoms, Waterfruits, Sweet Peas and Camelias blushed with Honeysuckle and Sandalwood, Pure White Linen Pink Coral is a scent that is feminine, peaceful and wonderfully, perfectly pretty.

“Pure White Linen Pink Coral is the perfect feeling and fragrance to complete the Pure White Linen collection,” said Karyn Khoury, Senior Vice President of Fragrance Development Worldwide, Estée Lauder. “The Pure White Linen values of sophisticated simplicity and relaxed elegance are reinforced, but with a unique view that is tender and feminine.”

The Fragrance
Sweeping over the senses in series of soft waves, Pure White Linen Pink Coral opens delicately with a gentle mist of Chinese Berry and Pink Peppercorns. When combined with juicy Apple Blossom, Waterfruits and Clear Aldehydes, a sparkling crisp wetness and a dreamy bright floralcy greet you in the top notes of the fragrance.

Next comes a perfect floral fusion that lingers with the pure innocence of Jasmine, Camellia Flower and a perfect accent of Honeysuckle. A blushing bouquet of Sweet Pea, Cherry Blossom, and Pink Peony follows closely behind, evoking the tender serenity of the ocean at daybreak.

In the end, the petals float softly away leaving in their wake a peaceful whisper of creamy Sandalwood, sheer Vanilla and a caressing touch of Heliotrope.

Pure White Linen Pink Coral will be available on www.esteelauder.com and all Estee Lauder counters in June, 2009.

Instead of a formal updo, stars pony up on the red carpet in this simple yet sleek hairstyle.

The high ponytail has a lot of pull these days as stars like Angelina Jolie and Kate Bosworth transform the casual do into an elegant evening look.  The style is “sexy and fresh at the same time,” says Jeffrey Paul, who created Freida Pinto’s pretty pony recently for a Los Angeles event. To keep the look clean, hair should be “polished but not greasy,” says Paul. “Use little product to avoid an oily finish.”

How to style:

1. Blow dry the hair in a backward motion with a medium-barrel boardbristle brush.
2. Add a dab of smoothing cream or pomade and sweep hair into a high ponytail close to the crown of the head, using an elastic ponytail holder.
3. For a finished look take a small section of hair, wrap around the band and secure with bobby pins.

Vaseline introduces Aloe Fresh, a new line of lotions that feel light and fresh on your skin. The line includes an unique moisturizing body gel, lotion with SPF and everyday aloe body lotion that will leave skin hydrated and feeling refreshed, especially during the hot summer months.

In honor of its new light summer variants, Vaseline will sponsor Maneater – a Lifetime miniseries to kick off the summer season starring Sarah Chalke (TV’s Scrubs). In the film scheduled to air May 30 and 31, Chalke’s character (Clarissa) maintains a list of rules to live by – a set of tenets she uses as a guide for her life.

To thread this theme throughout the summer, Lifetime and Vaseline Aloe Fresh has created a promotion titled “The Rules for Skin Season” highlighting the many fun ways to celebrate the lighthearted nature of the summer.

Vaseline invites you to submit your “Rules for Skin Season” for the chance to win a “Fabulous Beach House Getaway in The Florida Keys” – plus fun weekly prizes from May 1 through July 15, 2009.

Log on to www.rulesforskinseason.com to enter your rule and to view lighthearted vignettes where Chalke shares her own rules.

Enjoy a sneak peek to some of Chalkes’s summer rules:

• Grind up some strawberries for a fresh summer scrub – the seeds will wash away dead skin.
• Take on summer with a fresh face – less makeup is best!
• Make body lotion your best friend during the dry summer months – Great skin is the number one summer accessory!
