Introducing- Elizabeth Arden Pretty Hot

The newest addition to the Elizabeth Arden “Pretty” fragrance line is Pretty Hot. I ‘ve enjoyed all the Pretty scents but the spicy musk scent of Pretty Hot is a real standout. The juicy fruit scent is perfectly complimented by the deep musk scent and the overall tone is warm and spicy. Very different from all my other fragrances Pretty Hot is the great warm scent to welcome spring!

PRETTY HOT Pretty Hot Elizabeth Arden Eau de Parfum Spray , 3.3 fl. oz.

Too hot to handle, Pretty Hot Elizabeth Arden is a fragrance of unmistakable sexy confidence.

Luminous notes of juicy red currant, lush blood orange and mandarin set off sparks. Igniting a daring floralcy, Belle de Nuit explodes like a firework in the night sky. Red peony, pimento blossom, Petalia™ and Georgywood™ give a floral woody depth. At the back, a smoldering blend of amber, white patchouli, tonka crystals, sandalwood and Cosmone™ makes the skin exude a sensuous, alluring warmth.

Top Notes: Red currant, Blood Orange, Juicy Mandarin, Freesia, Red Apple.

Middle Notes: Red Peony, Belle de Nuit (Queen of the Night) Scentrek™, Pimento Blossom, Petalia,™ Georgywood.™

Get the Look: Natasha Bedingfield Retro Glam at the 2011 Grammy’s

WHO: Natasha Bedingfield
WHAT: An old fashioned style with a contemporary, glamorous vibe
WHEN: February 13, 2011
WHERE: 53rd Grammy Awards
HOW: Caile Noble, stylist for Serge Normant at John Frieda in LAHOW TO GET THE LOOK:

Caile began by establishing a low side part and applying a product that would help give the hair some memory and hold (try John Frieda Luxurious Volume Root Booster). He then began blowing out her hair with a small, round boar bristle brush.

Next he took hair in sections with a small barrel curling iron and curled each section the same direction away from Natasha’s face. When finished, he sprayed the curls with a workable hairspray and allowed time for the curls to set and brushed hair out using a flat bristle brush to achieve the glamorous wave.

Softly pulling the hair back, Caile twisted the excess hair into a chignon and secured it in place using large hair pins. He finished with a finishing spray to give the style that ultimate red carpet shine.

Emma Watson is the new face of Lancome!

Harry Potter star Emma Watson, 20, is announced as the latest ambassador for French beauty brand Lancome.

The actress has managed to distance herself from her Harry Potter character – frizzy-haired Hermione Granger – with her pixie crop, but overachiever is something both Emma and Hermione do well. On top of promoting the last Potter films, designing (and modelling) for eco-friendly fashion brand People Tree and studying at Brown University in the US, Emma is about to add to her modeling portfolio (she’s starred in campaigns for Burberry) by signing a six-figure deal with Lancome.

It’s an unusual choice for the make-up and skincare brand that has chosen thirty-something actresses – Julia Roberts, Uma Thurman, Juliette Binoche – to front its products in the past. But it looks like Lancome wants to pull in new, younger customers with Emma, 20, as the face and why not? If you can attract a fanbase early (as Emma has) they’re likely to stay loyal for years.

Emma said, ‘It’s so exciting, I can’t wait to start shooting,’ But the pretty, young star has confessed, ‘Although I don’t wear much make-up I’m a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara.’

The ads will be shot next month by Mario Testino and Emma will also star in TV adverts for the brand.

Get the Look: Jennifer Hudon’s Amazing Silver Eyes at the Grammys


Instyle helps you get the amazing silver look sported by Jennifer Hudoson at the Grammys.

Tonal Silver Eye Shadow
Jennifer Hudson’s eye shadow at the 2011 Grammy Awards may have looked simple, but it was actually the product of artful and purposeful layering. A silvery shade at the inner corners fades to a slate gray at the outer edges; brownish rosy shadow along the brow bone adds dimension and warmth. Take a cue from the songstress and start with lighter colors and work outwards—it brightens your eyes and opens up your face
