More Details on Kate Moss's Fragrance!

Pete Doherty may be calling Kate an "old rag", but why should she care? She's on a roll: Her Topshop clothing line is hot, and this fall, Kate the Great's fragrance will arrive in stores.

The launch party gave us some insight into Kate the fragrance, but today WWD reports more details and previews the ad campaign. The scent is a floral musk, with top notes of orange blossom absolute, forget-me-not and pink pepper. The scent's heart notes are lily of the valley, heliotrope, magnolia, peony, and rose petal. Base notes include sandalwood, musk, vetiver, ambret seeds and patchouli-something that doesn't surprise me, considering Kate's penchant for slumming it at outdoor rock festivals.

"When I put it on I want to feel fresh and light and as the day goes on I want to feel sexier," Kate told WWD. But if you, too, want to put it on, you'll have to head to Europe or Asia this September; Americans won't get a chance to buy it until a year later.

Rumor also has it that Miss Moss is collaborating on a hair care line with stylist friend James Brown. (That's exciting, but not half as exciting as it would be if Kate had done so with the late, great godfather of soul.) Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing the first reviews of Kate's fragrance. Then again, considering her popularity, it could smell like Pete Doherty and it would still make millions.

Beauty Byte: Kate Moss Kicks Off Her Fragrance

BellaSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 15:11:19 -0700

Kate Moss really is everywhere lately, jetting from the Topshop offices in London earlier this week to a hip soiree in Morocco yesterday. According to Women's Wear Daily, supermodel Moss was in Marrakesh to celebrate her fragrance, called Kate, which we first heard about in December. The signature scent hits the European and Asian markets in September. The scent will roll out in U.S. stores in 2008.

WWD spoke with Bernd Beetz, CEO of Coty, the license holder for the fragrance. (Is it just me, or does Coty handle pretty much every celebrity scent?) According to the story:

The beauty giant aims to capitalize on the wide-ranging appeal that has kept Moss the toast of the fashion set and a household name for two decades.

“[We will] tap into consumer groups that we haven’t tapped into before,” said Bernd Beetz, chief executive officer of Coty, who added the company is building its portfolio on fashion-, designer- and celebrity-oriented pillars. “[Moss] overlaps fashion and celebrity.”

Classified as a floral musk and clad in pink-and-black packaging, Kate will cost about $27 to $60, depending on the size. Not surprisingly, Moss herself will appear in the ads for the product. Will you buy the eau de Kate?

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?

Why Won't This $85 Treatment Work For Me? Let's Find Out.

Julia Coney of All About the Pretty has the most beautiful complexion. If I didn't know better, I'd think she has a secret entourage of Photoshoppers touching up her skin as she walks around all day. It's just that flawless and glowing. Once, I asked her what her secret was, and - along with overall healthy livin' and good genes - she raves about Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate ($85).

Formerly known as Kate in a Jar, it uses lactic acid and fruit enzymes to exfoliate dead skin. But before I dropped a hefty $85 on it, I headed to Sephora to request a sample. At home, I applied it and waited for the magic to happen. Except it didn't. Don't get me wrong, it made my skin look a bit better, but not in that stupendous, I-have-found-the-holy-grail-of-skin way. I wanted Julia skin, not just-slightly-nicer Bella skin. So I asked Julia what her secret was. Yep, I messed something up. For her expertise, read more.

Love It or Hate It: Kate Gosselin Curls Up

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:00:00 -0700

While "The Rachel" had a much-coveted reputation back during the Friends days, Kate Gosselin's reverse mullet, also popular in its own right, is a bit more notorious. Besides Lady Gaga's extreme looks as of late, I don't recall a hairstyle as talked about since Jennifer Aniston circa 1996. Gosselin's unique cut has been the topic of much mockery throughout the year. I even Kate Gosselined myself, and you, too, can experience the "momhawk" with this Halloween wig. But it's not all about the straight locks for Kate, as the mother of eight debuted a wavy version of the distinctive style earlier today on her appearance on The View. Yes, it's essentially the same haircut we're used to seeing, but perhaps the addition of some slight curl takes a bit of the edge off, no? It's your time to tell us what you think.

Reader Review of the Day: Kate Somerville Skin Health Starter Kit

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:00:00 -0700

Kate Somerville is known for her cult following, which includes a ton of celebrities, and for putting medispas on the map. But when it comes to beauty products, especially skin care, what works like a dream for some people is inevitably a nightmare on other skin, a sad truth reader ShedItandGetIt was none too pleased to encounter when she purchased the Kate Somerville Skin Health Starter Kit ($70). She says:

I bought this because I love trying new products, and it seemed great. Kate Somerville works with celebs, and her products are extremely pricey. I used the trio exactly as directed and I had really high hopes. But after three weeks of using it, I finally had to admit my disappointment. I have really good skin and can usually experiment with new products without any problems. But after using this, for the first time in my life, I started breaking out! I was so bummed; I really wanted to like it. But I am actually returning the whole set to Sephora, because for that amount of money, I want my skin to look amazing-not worse.

2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Kate Walsh

BellaSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:30:18 -0700

She may still be in Private Practice, but Kate Walsh is no slouch when it comes to appearing in the public eye. Her look was a lot more cheery and a little less sultry than it usually is on the red carpet tonight, though, where she went for an easy, close-fitting bob and lots of pink in the makeup department. It's pretty but perhaps a little more out for lunch than fancy awards show. What do you think? Is this look more Daytime Emmys than Primetime?
