Would You Be Into Kate Moss Hair and Makeup Products?

BellaSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:00:18 -0800

Kate Moss has been at the center of the modeling world for 20 years, and we've seen her as the face of all sorts of brands, from the prestigious Gucci, Dior, and Louis Vuitton down to drugstore favorite, Rimmel. Recently, the supermodel, who admits she's "not traditionally a beauty" to WWD, has just launched Vintage ($23-$53), a fruity floriental inspired by her love of vintage fashions.

But as you might know, this isn't the first scent we've seen from Kate. Her debut fragrance, Kate, was introduced in 2007. Then came Velvet Hour, followed by the limited-edition Kate Summer Time; and she's not about to stop now. In fact, Kate also has plans to create special makeup collections for Rimmel, and a haircare line with stylist James Brown is in the works. "It’s fun for me," Moss told WWD. "I still model, and I enjoy doing that as well. Working on the creative process is really interesting for me because I do know what I like, so it’s fun for me to realize that it becomes part of you. It’s not just putting your name on something; it’s about being very involved in it." What do you think about more Kate Moss beauty lines? Are you intrigued or apathetic?

Recently, after seeing a picture of doe-eyed, pixie-sporting Ginnifer Goodwin, I've had gamines on the brain. Characteristics often associated with gamine women include pixie hairstyles, short, straight-across bangs, bobbed hairstyles, wide eyes, petite features, boyish qualities, and a bit of what you might call a certain je ne sais quoi. Check out some famous gamine stars - from both past and present - right now.

Just How Much Fragrance Can Kate Moss Wear?

BellaSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:00:59 -0700

On the heels of the announcement that she's the face of YSL's new Parisienne scent, comes news from WWD that Kate Moss is also launching another scent in her own fragrance line, this one called Vintage, next month. I know that the inimitable Miss Moss is probably capable of being the face of every single ad campaign out there, especially since in some years she basically is, but isn't it a bit of a conflict for her to be repping her own perfume and someone else's at the same time? And how will she handle two simultaneous fragrance launches? Perhaps with a bottle in each hand?

YSL Thinks the World Needs More Parisiennes

BellaSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:00:51 -0700

The Fall fragrance frenzy begins in just about a month, when department stores will be stocked with new scents intended to tempt you. Fragrance makers are hoping you won't be able to resist, particularly because perfume sales were down 7 percent during the first quarter of 2009. It's in this tough market that Yves Saint Laurent.

WWD reports that the floral woody scent is aimed toward a slightly older audience than its other recent fragrance, Elle. Targeting the 30-something woman, Parisienne will launch in France next month, followed by a US rollout in October. Kate Moss will appear in both the print campaign and television commercial, which was filmed in the City of Light. Are you interested in possibly saying "oui" to a new scent, or have you scaled back your fragrance shopping?

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: The Models

Last night's theme at the 2009 Costume Institute Gala was "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," an exploration of how models have inspired and projected fashions throughout recent years. Of course, my coverage of this event would not be complete without a gallery of models who walked the red carpet. (Here's why some big names didn't show up). Oh, and if you're looking for more model action, check out my slideshow of the big six models, full of "then and now" photos. Don't forget to vote on all of my Costume Institute Gala polls here!

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Kate Moss

BellaSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:06:25 -0700

With a wrap covering most of her blond hair – and also matching it – from a distance it's less clear where Kate's hair ends and the head piece begins. Well, minus the gold shimmer, that is. A jewel holds the intricate piece on her head and offers one of the only contrasts in this otherwise single hued look.

Even her face looks golden with bronzer and her eyes are lined to be the focal point. With smoky to the max shadow winged out past the end of her brows and a bit lighter under her eyes, it reminded me of a modern-day Cleopatra. Nude lips pursed in a serious pout finish off this intense look – do you love it or think she's taking a flair for the dramatic too far?

How Many Ear Piercings Do You Have?

BellaSugar — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 06:00:10 -0700

Let's just say during my college days, I was a big fan of Claire's ear piercing specials. Although I technically have five holes in my ears, only two of them are currently in the "active" state. In recent times, Kate Moss has been sporting some hoops, studs, and chandelier styles galore, wearing six earrings in one ear and two in the other. So, tell me about your own experiences. How many times has that piercing gun hit your ears? Oh, and if you're looking for fun times, my name that piercing quiz is just the treat!

BellaSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:00:27 -0700

Before the Coco Rochas and the Agyness Deyns of the modeling world, there were "The Big Six," a crop of supermodels who dominated all things hair, fashion, and makeup in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These days, actresses and pop stars often fill the positions left behind by these powerhouse models. So, let's take a trip down memory lane to see how much these six ladies have - and haven't - changed. Source
