From Hilary Duff, With Love

BellaSugar — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 13:04:07 PDT

Last week, Hilary Duff made a special visit to Macy's in South Coast Plaza to unveil her fragrance called With Love. The scent has actually been exclusively available for purchase since September 14th at Macy's Herald Square in NYC, but now we can all enjoy it!

I happen to really love the way this smells. It's fruity and sensual with hints of exotic spices. Made from mangosteen blossoms, cacobalo wood and amber, the perfume starts of being citricy and light. However, after it breaks down a little bit, you are left with a heavier and more dramatic and distinctive, oriental scent. Buy it here. A 3.3 oz eau de parfum bottle sells for $55 and a 1.7 oz bottle sells for $45.

Fragrance Review: Hilary Duff Wrapped With Love

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:00:16 PST

Hilary Duff is getting ready to release her second fragrance called Wrapped With Love. This scent is a sequel to her first one, With Love, and it's much more playful and light as opposed to spicy and oriental.

The bottle also looks a lot like the With Love bottle, but it is a bright and fun pink color decorated with spring flowers. Inside Wrapped With Love you'll find hints of honeydew, mandarin, blood orange, plum, violet, white lily, mangosteen, raspberry, vanilla bean, musk and white chocolate mousse.

I honestly expected this fragrance to be too junior for me, but the scent is really nice. Typically when you describe something as fruity, you think of the citrus family, but this happens to smell more like a sugary melon medley. I recommend it for daytime and for spring/summer. Wrapped With Love will be available in a 1.7 oz eau de parfum spray ($38) within the next couple of weeks, and shortly following its release you can expect to see a Valentine's Day gift set that includes the same size fragrance as well as a cutesy tank top ($38). If you can put aside the celebrity aspect of the scent and focus only on how it smells, I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

Hilary Duff Opens Up About Postpartum Exercise, Postbaby Date Nights, and What Fills Her Phone Now

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:28:45 PDT

Hilary Duff's been one busy mama since welcoming son Luca Cruz to the world 5 weeks ago. The new mama's been sharing family photos with her fans, trying to return to her prepregnancy workouts, and getting back into her daily routine. Now Hilary's about to become even busier as she joins Johnson's Baby and Save the Children for the launch of Johnson's Baby CARES, a new initiative to support the basic needs of families during natural disasters. The actress and recording star took some time to answer our questions about the campaign, as well as her initial thoughts on new motherhood.

LilSugar: What's been the most surprising thing about motherhood so far?
Hilary Duff: How much I fell in love with Luca from the moment I saw him; it's so cool to see your child changing every day.

LilSugar: And the most challenging?
HD: Getting Luca on a schedule that works for both of us, it was tough at first, but he is getting better every day.

LilSugar: Who does lil Luca look like?
HD: A lot like me when I was a baby, but he has his daddy's nose!

LilSugar: How did you come up with Luca's name?
HD: Mike [Comrie, Hilary's husband of a year and a half] and I were just bouncing names off each other and Luca just stuck. We both knew when we heard it - it was unique, but not crazy.

LilSugar: Have you and Mike gone out on a postbaby date yet?
HD: Yes, we've had a few dates since Luca's arrival. At first it was nerve-racking, but the second date went a lot better. It's important for Mom and Dad to have time together.

Keep reading for Hilary's thoughts on postpartum exercise and her decision to partner with Johnson's and Save the Children.

Hilary Duff's son Luca is the center of attention in a new picture she posted on Twitter. The little guy entered the world three weeks ago on March 20, and last week, we saw the first pictures of Luca Cruz Comrie. Hilary has been spending lots of time with her son, but also stepped out not long after his arrival to visit her salon and even the gym. She's shared all sorts of sweet sentiments about motherhood. Last week, she mused, "No better feeling that a peaceful baby sleeping on your chest. . . wonder what he's dreaming about?" The love continued yesterday when Hilary tweeted, "Almost home to feed my little bambino! Nice to get away for an hour to do something good for myself, but I miss his little face when I'm gone."

Congrats to Hilary Duff and hockey star hubby Mike Comrie, who welcomed their baby boy into the world on March 20!
