As part of their permanent “Sexy” line, Bath & Body Works has added Charmed Life a new fragrance to their set of scents designed to make you feel alluring, confident and sensual.

Since I’m in the mainland this week visiting Bailey for a couple days, I stopped by her local Bath & Body Works to check out Charmed Life for myself.  At first sniff, this fruity scent is sweet and tart with a strong pear influence. As the scent wore down it became less fruity and more like soft, white flowers. I personally like the body lotion the best: I can smell fruity and delicious without being too overwhelmed with sweetness.

I have been in love with Lisa Hoffman Beauty Tunisian Neroli Variation Collection since December of 2007, when I ran into the gorgeous entrepreneur and her then-new fragrance collection at Bergdorf Goodman.

Lisa explained to me how each concept features four pulse point oil variants of a single fragrance, developed to complement a woman’s fragrance desires throughout the day. No more sneezing at 7am because my first spritz of fragrance is too overpowering for my sensitive morning nose.

Here’s how the notes in Tunisian Neroli change throughout the collection:

• MORNING: Dewy traces of gardenia petals, citrus notes of blood orange and watery accords enlighten the fragrance for awakening moments.

• DAYTIME: This rich floral combines ylang ylang, orange nectar, golden amber and musk with Tunisian Neroli blossoms for a sensual aura of opulence.

• EVENING: An extra dose of the heady florals touched with vanilla and golden amber dry down into a romantic embrace.

• BEDTIME: The soft woods and deep musks take center stage in this tender composition.

During the month of October, in honor of breast cancer awareness, Lisa Hoffman Beauty announced that 100% of the proceeds from this fragrance collection will benefit the National Breast Cancer Coalition.

Tunisian Neroli 4-Vial Variation Collection is available online at LisaHoffmanBeauty.com for $95.

“Wearing perfume is such a unique way to create memories. Like songs, a scent can take you back and allow you to relive a moment in time.” — Taylor Swift

Next month, Taylor Swift’s first signature fragrance, Wonderstruck, will debut in prestige beauty counters nationwide. The name Wonderstruck comes from the song “Enchanted” on Taylor’s current album, Speak Now.

Wonderstruck is that awe-inspiring feeling that comes from experiencing something magical, especially the rush of an instant connection with someone. Taylor hopes to capture this feeling in her fragrance.

Created by Taylor with perfumer Olivier Gillotin of Givaudan, Wonderstruck is a gourmand floral; a charming and sparkling surprise of vibrant fruits, kissed by a bouquet of soft petals and a touch of sweet indulgence.

Top notes are: freesia, apple blossom and raspberry

Mid notes are: vanilla, honeysuckle and white hibiscus

Base notes are: golden amber, sandalwood, lush peach

Wonderstruck is available beginning October 2011 at department and specialty stores nationwide for $49.50-$59.50.

Eva Mendes, the new face of Thierry Mugler ANGEL fragrance, celebrated with the brand as they unveiled the gourmand scent’s new campaign last Thursday night in New York.

Dressed in a mint green Mugler dress, Eva opted for flowy locks and sultry summer makeup created by celebrity makeup artist Genevieve Herr.

To create Eva’s look, Herr first primed her skin with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Multi-Active Day Cream before applying Thierry Mugler Cooling Effect Compact Foundation all over the skin.

Herr contoured Eva’s face with Mugler’s Face Shadows & Lights Powder in Brown and White before accenting her eyes with aubergine shadow and lots of Flash on Lashes Mascara and a final coat of Vinyl Gloss for added oomph! and shine. The look was finished with sunset-hued cheeks and lips.

Look for Eva Mendes in the new Angel by Thierry Mugler fragrance campaign come September.
