Karl Lagerfeld is gearing up to release three new unisex fragrances (Mademoiselle Coco Chanel would be so proud) called Kapsule, which will be launching first in Europe and then in America by the end of November.
The book-like bottles were inspired by Mr. Lagerfeld's love of geometry. Conceptually, the scents are supposed to resemble three different volumes and the packaging is modeled after the book's slipcases. Lagerfeld himself is featured in a picture in the ads and it is intended to represent him looking out at his fragrances much like how a designer peers out from behind the curtain during fashion shows.
The three Kapsule scents, which are called Light, Floriental, and Woody took more than nine months to create. They contain notes of fresh bread, woods, vanilla, and spices (mmm) and they can either be worn alone or layered together depending on your mood.
Lagerfeld says: "I don't like heavy, flowery things. I think there are never enough fragrances — they are so much fun to play with. I do strange mixes. There is no gender in perfumes anymore."
Each of the eau de toilette fragrances will be available in 30 ml ($59) or in 75 ml ($108).

Have you registered to vote? Have you sided with one of the candidates yet? At least I can help with one decision on Election Day. Prepare for your moment at the polls by wearing the new, limited-edition lip color from Stila in Rock the Vote Red ($17).
Rock the Vote, an organization that helps motivate young adults to get involved in presidential elections, has teamed up with Stila Cosmetics to create and sell a red-hot lipstick. 25 percent of the proceeds from the first 500 tubes will be donated to Rock the Vote to help support its worthy cause. This smooth and creamy deep, berry-red shade is a perfect way to show your patriotism.
Rock the Vote Red Lip Color will be available starting tomorrow online. Consider it your patriotic duty to look beautiful while you're casting your ballot.
If you're someone who likes red lipstick, do you think you'd buy Rock the Vote Red?
Yesterday at the TCAs, actress Zoe McLellan arrived with a spiky version of her cropped hairstyle. I never even knew that she had long hair until I saw this 2004 photograph, but I really like the way it looks. With her square face shape though, it seems that she can get away with just about any hair length she likes. Which of these looks do you like best on this Dirty Sexy Money star?
While edible beauty items aren't on the top of my list (I take it they're not on the top of yours either since Jessica Simpson's Dessert makeup line went bust), it is important to me that what I use, especially on my lips, at least tastes palatable and not synthetic.
For example, what I love most about Sarah Happ's Lip Scrub is that it contains sugar, almonds, cinnamon, and all kinds of other sweet ingredients that you can lick right off of your lips! Also, minty lip glosses like the ones from Lola and vanilla-scented ones from Besame make me feel more kissable.
Joey New York has even created a line of lip glosses and lipsticks based around studies on how flavors and fragrances in lip products can help you battle the urge to smoke and overeat. Conversely, they can also help you become more alluring to the opposite sex.
Isn't it all just so fascinating? If you could design your own flavored beauty product, what would you want it to taste like?
From first glance, what appears to look like a stick of designer deodorant, is actually a body bronzer. Underneath the rubbery beige cap of Michael Kors Leg Shine — Classic ($32) lies a smooth (almost oily), deep-amber bronzer that contains flecks of gold. Not only will it create a glowing tan on your legs, knees, arms, and chest, but it also has another function: Leg shine contains a captivating floral smell (Michael Kors Eau de Toilette) that takes the place of having to wear actual perfume.
At first I was scared that it would streak and rub off on my clothes, on my chair, and anything else that my stems came in contact with, but actually it proved to stay put once it dried. Also, it washes off with soapy water and a little bit of elbow grease in the shower.
Easy to apply and easy to remove are pretty rare qualities when it comes to self-tanners, and it's why I like this product so much. The only suggestion I would make is to apply it about a half hour before you go out to give the color and oily texture ample time to set.
This travel-friendly (thanks to the secure cap), scented bronzer is a fun way to achieve a temporary sun-kissed radiance with a sultry scent for special occasions. It's available in: classic, shimmer, and bronze to suit most skin tones.
Supermodel Kate Moss has had a long run in the modeling industry starring in dozens of clothing and beauty ad campaigns, walking in countless fashion shows and appearing on more than 300 magazine covers — whoa! Even today, at the age of 34, her career is going strong, despite a short-lived set back after being charged with drug use. How big of a Kate Moss fan are you? Take my quiz and guess which of the following brands Kate has represented.
Kate Beckinsale was spotted leaving the hair salon in LA looking perfectly coiffed from head to toe. She wore a shirtdress over leggings, pairing it with Fiorentini + Baker buckle boots and a cozy scarf for a Fall-appropriate look.
