Enchanting by Celine Dion

BellaSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:00:54 PDT

Another celebrity, another fragrance. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on celebs capitalizing on branding themselves, but I just can not get over the sheer quanity of perfumes out there from singers, actresses and models. The latest launch comes from Celine Dion and it's called Enchanting.

Developed by James Krivda of Givaudan, Enchanting contains a sweet blend of osmanthus, red berries, cyclamen, diamond orchid, gardenia, freesia, mimosa, sandalwood, amber and tonka bean. It is packaged in a tall, multi-faceted glass slender glass bottle and the outer packaging is dark navy with gold floral lattice detail.

The Enchanting product range includes four eau de toilette sprays ($20–$48) and a body lotion ($12). All purchases also come with a promotional CD. (I'm sure that last bit will be joyous news to my father, who-for years-has endured my mother's habit of putting Celine's duet with Barbra Streisand on "repeat" in the CD player.)

Check out this gallery of inspiring outdoor spaces that are serving as my muses this holiday.

The Grammy Awards are this Sunday, and the show is sure to wow with strong musical performances from women like Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, and Nicki Minaj. There's something enchanting about the way a powerful female performer can command an audience with her emotional depth and vocal range.

How to Work Bright Hues Into Your Makeup Routine (And Wardrobe, Too)

Guest Writer — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:02:00 PST

We're thrilled to present the following post, written by celebrity makeup artist and Vanitymark Cosmetics founder, Brett Freedman!

Bold colors in clothing can make your makeup choices a little dicey. Should you balance a vivid shade with pops of color in the eyes and lips, or go neutral, as not to look too silly? Recently I styled starlet Camilla Belle's makeup for the Art of Elysium event. She wore a beautiful, bright yellow dress that gave me pause in terms of makeup. My first instinct was to do a bright lip and pale skin. I then decided that the yellow should be the only color, and that everything else should be crisp, but neutral.

For the cheeks and lips I wanted to go with Camilla's natural lip color, just a little more vivid: too pink and it would be too sweet/little girl, and too plum it would be kind of Easter-y. To accomplish this, I used Maybelline Dream Mousse in Soft Plum on the cheeks, and Tarte LipSurgence in Enchanted on the lips. It was the perfect way to let the yellow dress take center stage, all while keeping the face from looking low-watt. Want to play with color, too? Be sure to check out Brett's no-fail guide to punching things up when you read more.

Viktor & Rolf Want to Titillate You With a Magic Fountain

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 20 May 2011 06:00:41 PDT

Fragrance commercials have long been the preserve of creative madness, and the latest (and certainly one of the most frenetic) entry to the bunch is this new spot. It's for Viktor & Rolf's Enchanted Fountain, which is basically a huge tank full of Flowerbomb that lets you refill your flacon in a department store.

I love V&R's sense of whimsy, and they're masters of promotion; they even created a travel kit for KLM that looks just like one of their dapper little bow ties and contains a branded toothbrush, lip balm, face cream, and other travel treats. Do you like their approach to branding? And if you're a Flowerbomb fan, would you top up your atomizer at this fantastical "fountain"?
