The beauty world is a buzz with some very exciting news - apparently Louis Vuitton are soon to launch a fragrance.
We hear that the Parisian powerhouse has recruited renowned master perfumier, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud to start at the company in January. His name might not mean much, but he was the nose behind some of our favourite scents - including L'Eau d'Issey and Jean-Paul Gaultier's classic perfume.
Maybe our news about Nicole Richie and Nine West launching perfumes reached LV HQ. We like to think so.
While we wait with baited breath for more news, join us in our lust for Vuitton's SS11 pretty model hair. We can't wait for spring!
We love Nicki Minaj's quirky, colourful style (and hilarious lyrics), so we were excited to hear about her upcoming nail polish collaboration with OPI.
It seems she got bitten by the beauty bug after teaming up with Mac to launch the gorgeous 'Pink Friday' lipstick. Since then, she's been working on a six-item nail polish collection for OPI.
Although the nail polishes won't hit the shelves until early next year, we hear they'll be sparkly, bright and named after Nicki's songs. We can't wait to try her purple crackle topcoat, Super Bass. A definite contender for Nails of the Week.
We always thought it was all those reported crazy diets that kept Gywnny looking hot, but not according to a new interview with the actress.
Speaking to an American radio station, Gwyneth insisted sleep is an important part of her beauty regime. She said: "For me, sleep is a major thing. I don't always get it, and when I don't, I look like I've been hit by a truck." Us too, Gwyn.
She also said she follows a strict diet including natural juices, coffee with almond milk and
large amounts of water. We'll stick to copious amounts of champagne and our trusty YSL concealer. Sounds much more fun.
Christmas crackers are often a disappointment- a silly joke and a cheap party hat. take this up a mssive notch with this amazing Christmas cracker from Jo Malone. Featuring amazing mini products from the Jo Malone collection, this is one cracker you'll be dying to pull.
Sadly, it doesn't actually snap cracker style, but would look amazing hung from a tree- or on a decadent Xmas table, where everyone gets a luxury cracker each! A lovely way to introduce someone to the brand, and a great way to have a taster of what Jo Malone is most famous for.
It will be £28 from Jo Malone- out soon!
Kate wins Nails of the Week again this week - she's on some kind of roll.
Her winning design consists of a gold base courtesy of Revlon's AW shade Gold Coin, with stripes painted over the top with Model's Own's trusty black nail art pen.
Think yours are better? Tweet them @kissandmakeup and we might post them! (and maybe check out our previous winners for some inspiration here)
And more perfume news now - it's another Celebrity Perfume Post, but this time I don't mind so much because it's Nicole Richie and I love her.
Yes - it's been revealed that the former reality TV show star turned respectable designer is going into the fragrance world with her very own scent.
There's literally no details on it yet, except that it will reflect her "very distinct image", and the deal is signed with TPR Holdings LLC, who are very happy about having a credible celebrity behind the reigns.
"She has a wide breadth of creative talents being an author, a jewelry designer, a fashion designer and an aspirational figure," said Brian Robinson, president of TPR. "[The trade] looks favorably on her. She's done a great job with her image."
Apparently Robinson expects a scent that will be "cool, classy and edgy." So do we. Can't wait. What do you think it'll smell like?
Shoe brand Nine West is following in the footsteps (haha) of Jimmy Choo by releasing a perfume - meet Love Fury.
"Like shoes, fragrance has transformative powers," Stacy Lastrina, chief marketing officer of Nine West told WWD on their foray into scent. "They both tie into emotion. They are both weapons of attraction."
The bottle itself ties the two together - with a black laquared stileeto heel running through the centre of the square glass bottle (a little bit reminiscent of Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur), with the perfume representing "the woman who loves the privileges of being a woman."
The fragrance does sound pretty delicious (well to me anyway): top notes of Rose Bud FirNat, mimosa petals absolute, juicy mandarin and red berries pulp; a heart of Tiare Tahiti NaturePrint, Jasmine Samback FirAbs and sandalwood, and a drydown of orris flower, sensual musk, precious wood and addictive amber.
Can't wait to try this - no UK prices yet but in the US it'll be available in a 0.3-oz. rollerball for $18, a 1.7-oz. bottle for $45 and a 3.4-oz. bottle for $55.
Oh, and there'll also be a matching shoe! Find out more about that on Shoewawa.
