DKNY Be Delicious Gets Pop Artsy

BellaSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:00:36 -0700

As part of DKNY's Delicious Art series, the design on the popular Be Delicious fragrance collection is a-changing once again. The most recent depiction features the limited edition DKNY Be Delicious Art Eau de Parfum Spray ($38-$70) and DKNY Be Delicious Art Body Lotion ($38), complete with packaging inspired by 1960s pop art. Artist Brad Hamann's cartoon-like layout features bold green tones and Ben-day dots on the apple-shaped bottle, along with comic lettering and speech balloons on the outer packaging. (Are you sensing a little of A-ha's "Take on Me" action like I am?)

New Product Alert: DKNY Charmingly Delicious Scents

BellaSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:00:01 -0700

Nom nom nom. DKNY is adding two more fragrances to its ever-expanding Delicious food chain. Be Delicious and Red Delicious are limited-edition versions of the original fragrances. They still have that apple scent, but this version is a little lighter and less intense for the warm months ahead.

Be Delicious Delicious Charmingly Delicious now contains more watery notes, citrus shimmer and is overall less potent. Red Delicious Charmingly Delicious has an added vanilla, red fruit assortment, rose and violet essence additions.

What I like about these fragrances is that they aren't overly sweet (particularly Be Delicious Charmingly Delicious). They are great for daytime when you are looking for a strong scent (perhaps in the place of an antiperspirant) - and the packaging is perfect for any teenager or apple lover. Both eaux de toilette cost $55 for 4.2 ounces (quite a substantial size), and they come with removable apple charms.

Experience the Energy: DKNY Delicious Night for Women

BellaSugar — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 11:14:00 -0700

The newest scent to hit stores from Donna Karan is DKNY Delicious Night. Full of energy, rush, anticipation, intrigue and seduction, this scent makes a passionate and powerful statement about the magic of a New York City evening. It is made from pomelo, ginger, blackberry martini accord, orchid, jasmine petal, iris, molten amber, jet black incense, myrrh extract, patchouli and vetiver.

Wisely chosen for fragrance bottle is an apple shape. The forbidden fruit is perfect for a city full of temptation and indulgence. However, unlike the other green and red apple DKNY fragrance bottles, this is dark purple like the essence of moonlight. The packaging is black with a digital silver NYC skyline and a hot pink logo.

The DKNY Delicious Night product range includes a 1.7 oz Eau de Parfum ($52), a 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum ($68), a 5 oz Body Lotion ($38), a 5 oz Shower Gel ($32) and a blackberry and vanilla flavored lip gloss ($16). Additionally DKNY, in collaboration with Estee Lauder, has launched an interactive website.

The site captures the excitement of the nocturnal city and allows you to read text messages, stories, listen to music, watch behind-the-scenes footage of the commercial and check out information on hot new clubs, stores and restaurants.

You can also listen to supermodel Jessica Stam talk about how DKNY Delicious Night "really touches the soul."

Does a Celebrity Influence Your Shopping Decisions?

BellaSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:00:11 -0700

Celebrity endorsements are one of the oldest marketing tricks in the book. Take, for instance, Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl fame. The actress was spotted checking out fragrances like DKNY's DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom EDP Spray ($55 to $70) and Island Michael Kors Bermuda EDP Spray ($62) in these totally candid and not-at-all-staged photos.

So whether it's an age-old celebrity endorsement or product of their own, like Jessica Simpson's cult-favorite Fancy, does any of that make an impact on your purchasing decisions? Let me know below, and then have some pure, unadulterated fun by testing what you know about star endorsements in parts one and two of my celebrity infomercial quizzes.

How-To: Carmen Electra's Luminous Summertime Tan

BellaSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:00:02 -0700

This week, at the Disaster Movie party in Cabo San Lucas, actress, model, and fitness buff Carmen Electra played on the beach looking gorgeous and glowing with her quintessential summertime tan.

Besides her electrifying eyes (I wonder how many times she's heard that one), her skin oozed an undeniable radiance. We know that she's been hanging out at the DKNY House soaking up the rays, but something tells me that she's being careful with SPF, because her wrinkles are minimal. Are you interested in learning how to create this luminous look at home? If so, read more.

FACE: Begin with moisturized skin. Then, apply a dollop of sheer foundation to the back of your hand along with an equal part of luminizing bronzer. Mix with a foundation brush and apply to your face and to you neck. Then, add some concealer and some eye brightener, and blend using the same brush.
CHEEKS: Apply a touch of translucent powder everywhere except to the apples of your cheeks, because you're going to add a touch of bronzer there. Tip: You don't want the bronzer to be too dark, so be gentle with your application. I suggest trying a color such as Juicy Couture's Beachy Bronzer, which contains shimmer and looks great on all skin tones. Next, add a touch of peach blush like The Balm's Hot Mama to your cheekbones. Blend well using a large, fluffy brush, and if your face feels unbalanced, add a little bit of bronzer to your temples, nose, and chin.
EYES:This is one of the easiest eye makeup looks to pull off, so novice players, don't shy away! Simply smear a pale gold cream shadow all over your lid and add a touch of shimmery white or champagne eye shadow just under your brow bone. Next, apply black eyeliner to your upper eye rims, and gently line your lower rims with a deep purple liner. Top the look off with two coats of black mascara and apply a touch of shimmer (the same color as your highlighter) to your inner v.
LIPS: No lip liner or lipstick is required to achieve this sex-kitten lip look. Just apply a thick coat of a pale pink gloss such as Nars Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight to your pout and you're ready to go!
