Charming Summer Beauty Accessories

BellaSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:00:11 -0700

These fabulously fashionable charm necklaces from designer brands are the new "It" items of the season. Not only do they look pretty, but they're fully functioning cosmetic cases, too. Inside of these baubles by Dior, Missoni, and YSL are actual beauty products such as bronzer, creamy highlighter, and perfume. This is a second go-around from Missoni - last season they launched this limited-edition necklace, and it was so popular that they decided to bring it back for Summer 2008. These items make for great gifts and fun accessories - which is your favorite?

Missoni Solid Perfume Charm Necklace ($50) contains gold charms, rust-colored beads, and a large gold orb filled with .05 oz of Missoni perfume in a solid form.
The amber cabochon pendant in the Dior 'Golden Dior' Necklace ($55) contains a gold highlighter for the lips, eyes, and cheeks - and it hangs from a delicate satin ribbon.
Yves Saint Laurent 'Soleil D'Afrique' Collector Bronzing Powder ($72) celebrates the 30th anniversary of YSL makeup. Inside of the wooden charm lies a rich golden-sand bronzer.

Must-Have of the Moment: Missoni Margherita "It" Item

This limited-edition charm necklace is the new "It" Item from Missoni. Yet instead of just being a fabulous fashion accessory, it also houses a beauty treasure. Inside of the large gold orb lies a solid parfum, available in the original Missoni fragrance or in the Acqua fragrance. The Aqua-scented necklace has turquoise stones, and the original fragrance has rust-colored stones.

This unique item is my current must-have of the moment. I love this cool mix of fashion and beauty, and for $50, getting a necklace plus a perfume sounds like a pretty reasonable price. This one will make my holiday wish list for sure, and I might pick one up as a gift for Fab. Do you like it, too?

New Product Alert: Missoni Colori Lip Gloss

BellaSugar — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:00:35 -0700

A couple of weeks ago, Missoni launched a very hip and very chic lip gloss called Missoni Colori. I love Missoni's bright patterned clothes and accessories, but the price tag is an immediate deal-breaker. These glosses, however, are an affordable way to have a little Missoni in your life.

These bright and ultra shiny glosses moisturize without feeling too gooey and tacky. They're $25, which is a lot for a tube of lippie. Still, it's a relative steal compared to last year's pricey (yet stunning) face and body highlighter compact.

The glosses come in four different shades of peach, red, hot pink and shimmery clear. However, since the tubes also contain zig-zags of white-you know, the same cool famous zig-zag pattern as in their knits-somehow all of the colors wind up becoming different variations of pink. And I've saved the best part for last: They have a chocolate cherry flavor. Chocolate, Missoni and lip gloss, need I say more?

Missoni's Chic Make-Up

Missoni has just released a gorgeous and beautifully packaged Face Highlighter Compact with a look and a package that plays off of its famed zig-zag fabric patterns. This pressed powder is made of up three luminous shades in the pink and bronze family. The colors can be blended for a radiant glow or worn individually for isolated cheek and eye shimmer. This makes a terrific and affordable gift for your Missoni addicted friends. It comes in an orange compact with a contour brush and a luxuriously cute pouch. Buy it here for $70.

Missoni Sure Makes A Pretty Parfum

I love it when fashion and beauty mingle like this. Just check out this gorgeous gold and print bottle from Missoni called Missoni Parfum, $300. Yeah, yeah. I saw the hefty price tag, but what do you expect really? Have you ever seen the cost of one of their clothing items? Lucky for me, they've got an outlet close by!

It's no secret that I am a big fan of their happy looking, bright colored weaves, so I am really excited about this new parfum.

This fragrance is not for the shy gals who don't want to be noticed. It is a powerful, enticing, spirited blend of various fruits and flowers.

It's made from: rose, bergamot, bitter orange, gianduia (a sugary chocolate that contains hazelnut and almond paste), deep amber, magnolia, loquat, persimmon and peony. Please let me know what you think of this fashionable new fragrance!
