Orlando Bloom and Sienna Miller are the new faces of Hugo Boss’ fragrances!

Newly engaged (to Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr) Orlando Bloom has become the new face of Hugo Boss‘ new cologne.

The movie star will front the campaign for Boss Orange in Europe.

“It’s a brand I immediately identified with because it has a laid back, spontaneous quality I relate to,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

Meanwhile, actress Sienna Miller has become the face of Boss’ new women’s fragrance in Europe.

Ironically, the two have been romantically linked in the past!

America’s Healthiest Self-Tanner in 2010

I just tried a sample of Nature’s Gate Sunless tanner and I’m really impressed with the color. Of all the sunless tanners I have tried recently it is the truest tan color, leaving my skin with the perfect bronzed just back from vacation look. It smooths on really well and the olive oil gives it  a nice scent.

Because the color is so rich just take the time to exfoliate first and really apply it everywhere. I rushed the first time and had some spots, second time I did it the right way and voila perfect tan.

The June issue of Health named the Nature’s Gate Sunless Tanner one of America’s Healthiest Buys of 2010 in the Self-Tanner category.

Health put nearly 1,100 products to the test, and with help of top dermatologists they found 16 fabulous beauty products that deliver on their promises. Judge Grace H. Pak, MD loves that the Nature’s Gate Sunless Tanner is “formulated without parabens and phthalates and has a moisturizing base of olive oil that leaves skin soft.”

The Nature’s Gate Sunless Tanner is lightweight and fast-absorbing, making it perfect for all skin types. Other formulas include Green Tea and Red Raspberry, which fight free radicals and keep skin looking youthful. A subtle development of color will appear within the first day of use and will continue to develop with additional applications, building a natural, even, and year-round tan.

Keep your skin bronzed, beautiful and beachy with this best beauty buy!

Nature’s Gate Sunless Tanner SRP: $8.99

Nature’s Gate products are available at health and natural food stores across the U.S. or by visiting www.natures-gate.com.

Heidi Montag Regrets 10 Plastic Surgery Procedures

It was not that long ago that Heidi Montag shocked us all by undergoing 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day and now it looks as though Heidi might be regretting her rash decision.

The reality TV star is almost unrecognisable after she had a chin reduction, boob job, a nose job, neck liposuction, brow lift, ears pinned, cheek implants, butt implants, lip fillers, botox and liposuction on waist, hips and thighs. Eek!

And according to Heat magazine Heidi is regretting it already with a source saying: “She’s thinking about a plastic surgery make-under now that she’s separated from Spencer. He was the one who wanted her to get the work done. She knows she went too far, and she feels stupid.”

Bruce Willis to Debut His Signature Scent This Week!

Keeping it simple, the action star named his new men’s fragrance after himself. Bruce Willis eau de parfum, hair and body wash, deodorant spray and after-shave balm will officially launch this week in partnership with German direct seller LR Health & Beauty Systems, reports WWD. “The development of my new fragrance was really a lot of fun,” Willis tells the publication. “The products stand for individuality, uniqueness and sustainability.” So what does Bruce Willis smell like? The scent, which boasts a gray-hued juice, features notes of grapefruit, pepper and vetiver. Details on price and availability, however, have yet to be released, so you’ll still have to wait to learn whether or not the scent will eventually launch in the U.S.

Seasonal scents for your shower.

I was able to sample some of the new soaps from the Yardley of London collection and they are great for summer. My favorite scent is Honeysuckle citrus, a bright citrus scent that is the perfect wake up on a warm summer morning. The soaps are also really moisturizing which is great in the dry months and at under $3 a bar it an affordable summer luxury.

Each change of season brings subsequent changes in fashion, skincare and makeup. Most women already employ “seasonal scenting,” transitioning from heavier, spicy and musky (winter) perfumes and lotions to more subtle, fresh, and crisp scents (summer). But what about your shower gel and bar soap?

As women push aside their Chanel No.5, why not revamp the shower routine and find the perfect summer scented bath soap or wash?

After all, do you really want to smell like a cinnamon bun on a blistering summer day?

Some popular summer time scents for the shower are available by the time-tested classical Yardley of London soaps, first developed in the 17th century and now adapted into irresistible soap bar treats:

· Classic English Lavender – This timeless favorite remains a top choice with its calming and authentic floral scent

· Honeysuckle Citrus – Bursting with nature’s sweet citrus, organic honey and orange peel

· Fresh Aloe – Crisp and clean, Yardley’s Fresh Aloe combines cucumber essence and natural aloe

· Lemon verbena with Shea Butter– This soap unlocks a fragrant melody of citrus for a refreshing experience

· Oatmeal & Almond – A clean and crisp blend made complete by sweet overtones of almond

Skin showing in summer also means more surface area for light fragrance and more need for moisture and exfoliation.

The core ingredients of these boutique-inspired bar soaps also have surprising benefits:

· Lavender – A calming scent, it also acts as an effective mosquitoes and moth repellent for those buggy nights

· Oatmeal & Almond – Gently exfoliates and moisturizes to soothe against dry and irritated skin

· Fresh Aloe – Soothes burns

· Citrus Oils – Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scarring

· Shea butter – Helps to prevents skin peeling after a long sun drenched day

Available for purchase at your local drugstore or mass retailer, learn more about Yardley of London here.
