Wrists and Necks to Smell of Posh and Becks

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 09:59:29 -0700

Well, it looks like moving to the States has been a very good decision for Victoria and David Beckham. Sure, David's wonky ankle has been keeping him off the field-but you can't keep a good couple down. Today, WWD reveals the couple's latest endeavor: Intimately Beckham, a his-and-hers fragrance duo that launches Stateside next month.

"Why is this different from any other celebrity fragrance? The fact that [I] have spent a lot of time checking all the details," explains Victoria Beckham. "We are not just saying, 'We are celebrities, put our name on it.' I love to be involved with the whole process."

Intimately Beckham for Him has top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and cardamom; a heart of violet, nutmeg and star anise, and sandalwood, patchouli and amber base notes. It sounds intriguing, particularly the cardamom notes.

Intimately Beckham For Her features Victoria's favorite scent, tuberose. "I like how it's young, fresh, modern, but it still reminds me of my grandmother," she says. "It is a smell that's not going to date." Along with tuberose, the fragrance features top notes of bergamot and rose; middle notes of Casablanca lily and orange blossom; and a musky drydown of vanilla and sandalwood.

Priced at $25 for 0.5 ounces to $55 for 2.5 ounces, both fragrances will be at Kohl's, JC Penney, Ulta and Sears next month. If you can't get enough Beckhams, you're in luck: Victoria hinted at another signature fragrance for 2008, and a makeup line to debut in Japan in October. Now if we could just see Becks score a goal or two, we'll be all set!

Victoria Beckham Weighs In on the Merits of Sleep and Sex

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:03:35 -0800

Victoria Beckham looked polished in black as she left her hotel and made her way to Heathrow Airport in London today. She tried to go a little incognito with her hat, but Victoria isn't afraid to share more personal details - she recently opened up to Allure for the December issue. Victoria shared some rather intimate details of her home life with David, including their nighttime routine and how she prefers to sleep. Here's more:

On whether she prefers sleep or sex: "I'm getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there'd be something wrong if I said, 'sleep.'"
On what she sleeps in: "I tend to wear nothing [to bed] . . . But David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur, his favorite store."
On what she eats: "I'm not going to lie - I'm not one of those people that says, 'Oh, I eat hamburgers.'"

To see more of Victoria and what she has to say about self-tanning and the Spice Girls, just read more.

On self-tanning: "I don't self-tan anymore. It's frustrating when people criticize my color. It's the color that I am! I wear sunblock, but I live in a hot climate."
On being called Posh: "I'm so respectful of the Spice Girls, and I love all the girls dearly, but it's nice now that people know my name. But either is a compliment. I mean, I’ve been called a lot worse."

Get Intimate with The Beckhams

PopSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:00:57 -0700

Victoria Beckham had a girls' night at Koi with her sister while dapper David dressed up to sign autographs after a Galaxy match in Toronto. Becks may still be sidelined, but he and Posh continue to make their mark in America. Their extremely popular his-and-hers fragrances called "Intimately Beckham" are finally coming to stores stateside. Posh is also showing her appreciation for America already. She said,

"I love the American attitude; it's very positive. I love the fact that everybody here seems very patriotic; I think that's a very strong positive message to send out for children. . . . There's so much for the kids to do. The weather's great. We are having such a wonderful time."

It's great to see that this family is embracing our culture, especially since David was a little wary about leaving Europe. We can't wait to keep seeing what these two have in store for us.

Getting Intimate With David Beckham

Molly — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 05:00:00 -0700

The cameras got up close and personal with David Beckham at an England national team press conference yesterday in St. Albans, UK. Not that we mind, of course, the closer the better when it comes to this handsome specimen. It's shaping up to be quite the Manjoyment Friday around here. Holla. If David plays with the team this Saturday, it will be his 109th cap, which would be a new record, but he doesn't expect it to be for long. He said, "It is special. It’s great to be up there with the best and biggest icons. But I hope the player that breaks it is one of these players from within this squad." Gracious as always, of course, but one record of Becks' that probably won't be broken anytime soon is hottest soccer player.

BellaSugarUK's Picks For Best Blow-Out Brushes

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 07:30:00 -0700

Along with a powerful, high-wattage hairdryer, a round brush is my secret weapon hair tool. Second to my prized all-boar bristle Mason Pearson, a round brush helps smooth and straighten my frizzy hair while creating bounce and shine. The key is to finding the perfect one has to do with size and grip. After spending 15 minutes every other day blow-drying, you'll become more intimate with yours then you ever imagined! Below are a list of my top three high performance round brushes. Do you have a favourite brush?

The Frederic Fekkai Large Round Brush (£44) works great on all hair lengths. I use on my crown and fringe because it's small and creates amazing resistance. The more tension that you have between your hair and your brush, the smoother the result. It's also great for curling the ends and adding volume to the roots.

For details on two more of my top buys for best blow-out brushes, read more.

ghd Anti Static Brush Size 3 (£18.75) has an over-sized head that works wonders to create natural-looking waves. The handle has a comfy grip and the bristles are coated with a natural ionic compound that makes your hair shiny and static-free without getting tangled causing unnecessary breakage. Victoria Beckham, Naomi Cambell, Jennifer Aniston and Beyonce Knowles are also rumoured to fancy this brush!
Lastly, I adore this S Factor Surreal Ceramic Straightening Brush XL from Tigi (£7.95). The bristles are soft and the squishy grip is tops. It never slips out of my hand and it holds my hair in place once it's wrapped around. Combine all of this with the ceramic core and I only need to dry each section once - it's heaven!

David and Victoria Keep the Celebrations Going

PopSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:00:20 -0700

Victoria and David Beckham brought their three boys to surprise David's mom Sandra at her 60th birthday party in Essex on Friday. The couple then met up with Posh's side of the family on Saturday night, looking impeccably dressed as usual. They've been making up for lost family time, but David and Victoria's next trip will be a bit more intimate as they travel to the Seychelles Islands to celebrate their 10th anniversary on Saturday.

FiFi's Fragrances Attract the PYTs

PopSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:30:30 -0700

We're sad to see our favorite TV shows head to hiatus for another Summer, but luckily the stars of the small screen are still coming out to play in Hollywood. Last night Alyson Hannigan, Minka Kelly, and Taylor Momsen got dolled up for the 36th Annual FiFi Awards in NYC. The ladies helped honor the night's big winners, which included Daisy Marc Jacobs and Intimately Beckham Women. We can see that they looked gorgeous in their springtime dresses, and something tells us that the lovely ladies smelled just as sweet.

More pics including Padma Lakshmi, Vera Wang, and Nikki Blonsky, so just read more.

FiFi Awards the Fragrances of the Year

BellaSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:00:10 -0700

Last night, beauty editors, celebrities, and cosmetics executives gathered in New York to celebrate the FiFi awards. It's often called the Oscars of the fragrance industry, which says as much about its prestige as it does about who's honored. It's rare to see small perfumes win Fragrance of the Year; instead, the Fragrance Foundation gives awards to scents with broader distribution. (So in that case, it really is like the Oscars!)

The women's fragrances of the year are Daisy Marc Jacobs, Intimately Beckham Women, Prada Infusion d'Iris, and Christian Lacroix Rouge (created with Avon). Do you think these perfumes deserved the honors? I personally can't understand the wild popularity of Daisy Marc Jacobs - it just doesn't do anything for me - but it looks like this scent is just getting bigger and bigger.

Wait, Beckhams In W Just Got Even Hotter

Molly — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:27:44 -0700

I didn't think it could get any hotter than what we saw of the Beckhams in W Magazine, but here are some more shots from the photoshoot. And...It Just Got Way Hotter. Interestingly enough, these photos were taken by Steven Klein, the same man who shot that controversial spread of Brad and Angelina for W two years ago. My god, they're smokin' together. I feel like I'm peeking into their intimate moments! Not only that, but inside the magazine they are totally endearing and cute. Love them. Here's highlights:

Victoria on changing America's opinion of her:“I think people are really going to see me for the first time. I think they have this impression that I’m this miserable cow who doesn’t smile. But I’m actually quite the opposite. When you’re out there, they’re trying to get pictures up your shirt, down your top. With all the flashes, it’s as much as you can do to just find your car. I’m going to try and smile more for America.”
Victoria on picking her $22 Million house in LA:“I had quite a lot of things to get my head around. What was the nicest area? I was very much like, ‘Okay, the seaside is down there, training is there, school is there, and I think Barneys is over there.’ I kind of did it like that…we didn’t want anything too huge, too fancy, too ostentatious…something quite practical for the kids. It’s a light, happy house, with a great corridor the kids are going to love when they are roller-skating.”
David on why they don't have a live in staff:“We like to lock the doors at night and wander around naked.”
David on first seeing Victoria in a Spice Girls Video:“I turned around to Gary (his teammate) and said, ‘That one there, that’s the girl I’m going to marry.’”

Cute cute, now back to those photos. Check out the full set online here and in the magazine when it hits stands July 20th. Beckham mania is just getting started!

Fab Flash: Eva Mendes For Calvin Klein Underwear

FabSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:00:22 -0700

After the success of David Beckham for Emporio Armani Underwear, Calvin Klein has gone back to its roots and named its newest celebrity underwear model: Eva Mendes.

She will follow in the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg, Hilary Swank, and Djimon Hounsou, and also be the face of a new unnamed Calvin Klein fragrance. The ads debut this Fall, and will likely feature Eva wearing little more than she did for her PETA ad.

Her appointment coincides with the launch of Seductive Comfort, a line focused on addressing intimates for women with fuller figures and bust lines. Keeping this in mind, as Calvin Klein President Tom Murry put it: "When we looked at the talent, Eva was right." And that's that.
